Which should you pick?
head-to-head · opinionThese are the same shoe in different fits—the Brooks Glycerin GTS 23 Women's (278 g) and the standard Glycerin GTS 23 (312 g), both 8 mm drop with high cushion and built-in stability. Pick the Women's version for the lighter, better-tailored fit on daily and long steady miles; the trade-off is negligible since both prioritize plush support over speed. Neither is the shoe for tempo work or racing—look elsewhere if you want a snappy, responsive ride.
