Brooks Glycerin 23 Women's vs Brooks Glycerin 23
Our read

A comfort-first daily trainer for runners who want soft, forgiving miles rather than speed. The plush DNA TUNED midsole defines it: easygoing but not built for pace.

Ride

Soft, cushioned landings with a stable, wide platform and smooth heel-to-toe transitions at easy paces. The 8mm drop and plush foam favor comfort over responsiveness.

Fit

Accommodating knit upper with a secure heel; reviewers split evenly on snug versus roomy, so it fits close to true to size. Available in multiple widths.

Best for

Neutral runners logging daily easy miles, recovery runs, and long runs who prioritize underfoot softness and stability.

Avoid if

You want a light, snappy shoe for tempo work or racing, as the soft ride and near-270g weight blunt quick turnover.
