Brooks Glycerin 23
The Glycerin 23 carries forward the DNA Tuned dual-cell midsole with a lightly refined upper and outsole. It remains Brooks's flagship plush neutral trainer for runners who prioritize step-in comfort and protection across daily and long-run mileage.
Reach for the Brooks Glycerin 23 for everyday training miles, long runs and easy recovery days. It's a neutral shoe, best for runners with an efficient stride who don't need pronation support. The tall, soft stack favors comfort over ground feel. That's great for high mileage and bigger runners, less so for racing snappiness.
- Plush, premium ride
- Comfortable, secure upper
- Handles daily miles and long runs alike
- Not a fast shoe
- Small update if you own the 22
