The Brooks Glycerin 23 is built for runners who want soft landings without losing energy on the run. Designed for road running and walking, this latest version brings smoother transitions, deeper cushioning, and a refined fit that feels dialed in from the first step.
The midsole features even more DNA TUNED cushioning, Brooks’ nitrogen-infused foam engineered with dual-size cell technology. Larger cells in the heel create plush, shock-absorbing landings, while smaller cells in the forefoot deliver responsive, energetic toe-offs. A wide platform paired with tuned heel and forefoot geometry helps create a smooth, stable heel-to-toe transition that stays consistent across daily miles.
Up top, a streamlined engineered knit upper provides a soft, accommodating fit with improved breathability and structure. The result is a shoe that feels comfortable, balanced, and distraction-free, whether you’re logging long runs or staying on your feet all day.
If you’re looking for maximum comfort with a smooth, responsive ride, the Glycerin 23 fits the bill.
