Details

The Brooks Glycerin 23 is the latest evolution of one of running's most trusted daily trainers, refined to deliver an even smoother and more comfortable ride from heel strike to toe-off. Built for neutral runners who prioritize consistent cushioning and an easygoing feel, it is the kind of shoe you can reach for every day without a second thought.


The DNA Tuned midsole uses nitrogen-infused cushioning to deliver softness where you need it most — plush and forgiving at the heel for comfortable landings, transitioning to a more responsive feel through the forefoot to keep your stride moving forward with energy. The result is a ride that makes easy days feel genuinely easy and takes the edge off long runs when your legs start to fatigue.


A wide, inherently stable platform provides balanced, predictable transitions without introducing any corrective elements, keeping the shoe firmly in neutral territory. The durable outsole handles the demands of high mileage training while a completely updated triple jacquard knit upper wraps the foot in a secure, accommodating fit that stays comfortable and distraction-free across any distance.


Whether you are building your weekly base, logging long Sunday miles, or just looking for a dependable shoe that shows up for you every single run, the Glycerin 23 delivers the kind of consistent, cushioned comfort that has made it a staple in runners' rotations for years.


MIDSOLE

  • DNA TUNED supercritical foam is nitrogen-infused EVA, created with dual-size cells. Larger cells in the heel and smaller cells in the forefoot combine for a soft and responsive ride.


OUTSOLE

  • Full-length rubber is generously placed throughout the outsole for long-lasting traction and durability.


UPPER

  • Engineered triple jacquard knit provides luxurious comfort and a supportive fit that's 58% recycled.
