What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I put the Glycerin 23 Wide through a full long run block this season and the plush cushioning delivers a genuinely luxurious landing that holds up even when the mileage gets serious. The wide last gives my forefoot real room to breathe over longer efforts, which makes a meaningful difference when fatigue starts creeping in after mile fifteen."The Brooks Glycerin 23 Wide is a long run shoe that takes its job seriously from the very first step. Built around an ultra-soft cushioning platform that prioritizes plush, effortless comfort without sacrificing the responsiveness needed to keep moving forward, it is the kind of shoe that makes big mileage weeks feel manageable rather than punishing. The wide last opens up genuine space through the forefoot, a detail that matters most on those final miles when feet swell and a narrower fit would start to make its presence known in all the wrong ways. Brooks tuned the Glycerin 23 Wide for smooth, stable heel-to-toe transitions that carry the stride forward with a natural, unhurried flow. The plush DNA LOFT cushioning delivers luxurious landings on every footfall and powers toe-offs with an energy return that keeps the ride feeling alive deep into a long effort. Balanced support through a secure heel and dynamic forefoot keeps the foot stable without introducing unnecessary rigidity, letting the shoe move with the runner rather than around them. With over 58% recycled materials woven into the upper, the Glycerin 23 Wide is a premium shoe built with genuine care for the roads it covers and the runner wearing it.
