The Glycerin 23 is Brooks' premium comfort trainer for runners and walkers who want soft cushioning, a secure fit, and a smooth, steady ride. It feels more cushioned than the Ghost without going full max-stack, making it a reliable choice for daily training, long easy runs, recovery days, and walking.

How This Shoe Compares

Compared to Brooks Ghost 17

Choose the Glycerin 23 if you want a softer, more cushioned, more premium Brooks feel for daily miles and long runs. Choose the Ghost 17 if you prefer a lighter, simpler everyday trainer.

Compared to Brooks Glycerin Max

Choose the Glycerin 23 if you want a softer traditional trainer that feels less bulky underfoot. Choose the Glycerin Max if you want more stack height, a stronger rocker, and a more maximal cushioned ride.
