"The Brooks Glycerin 23 is a good, durable and stable daily trainer best suited to relaxed runs. It doesn't have a particularly exciting or innovative ride but it feels like Glycerin, which is what the loyalists want. For $175, I was expecting more from the Glycerin 23 considering its hefty weight and the fact that Brooks has a better, more energetic midsole foam that they could have used in version 23."
"The Glycerin series has always had a signature 10 mm drop but in version 23, it's been reduced to an 8 mm drop. We also recently saw the Brooks Ghost change from a 12 mm to a 10 mm drop. This change should make the weight feel more equally distributed. It should also be more suitable for forefoot strikers since there is more cushioning under the forefoot."

"The Glycerin 23 weighs 11 grams (0.4 oz) more than its predecessor. It's now 300 g (10.6 oz) for a men's UK 8. Version 23 has stack heights of 38 mm/30 mm. The price has risen by $10 to $175, making it one of the more expensive traditional, max-cushioned trainers."
