The Brooks Glycerin GTS 23 is a premium, maximally cushioned stability daily trainer, primarily designed for easy and long runs on roads for runners seeking reliable support. It features a nitrogen-infused DNA Tuned midsole, aiming for a soft, energetic, and smooth ride with excellent outsole durability and traction. While many experienced a plush feel, some reviewers found the shoe significantly firmer and less responsive than its predecessor, occasionally feeling clunky; common criticisms include a high price, challenging lace lockdown, overly thick ankle cushioning, and a fit that can run short.
Highlights
- Smooth, plush ride with nitrogen-infused DNA Tuned foam
- Effective GuideRails stability system that reduces overpronation without feeling restrictive
- Excellent outsole durability and reliable traction on wet surfaces
- Luxurious, secure fit from the engineered triple jacquard knit upper
- Broad, stable base that enhances confidence during daily and long runs
Considerations
- Runs short in length, potentially requiring a half-size up to prevent toe rubbing
- Lace lockdown can be difficult to dial in, leading to inconsistent fit
- Firmer, clunkier ride compared to previous versions, reducing responsiveness for faster paces
- Thick, un-gusseted tongue and stiff heel counter may cause discomfort for sensitive runners
- GuideRails stability may feel overemphasized for runners with a neutral foot strike
