Brand specifications

The shoe at a glance.

The Glycerin 23 is a soft, cushioned neutral trainer for everyday road mileage, recovery outings and longer runs. A comfortable fit and secure heel hold strengthen its appeal for runners who want an easy-running shoe they can settle into. The tradeoff is a heavy feel and less bounce than many current daily trainers, so it is better approached for comfort than for an especially energetic sensation. Several width options are listed, but stock varies, making it worth checking the exact fit and availability of your preferred version.
