Product Information

Full details

The Brooks Glycerin GTS 23 is designed for adult male runners who require a blend of maximum cushioning and reliable structural support to maintain form. Its standout benefit is the combination of plush nitrogen-infused foam and corrective stability technology, though runners seeking a minimalist or lightweight racing shoe may find the build somewhat substantial for speed-focused workouts.

FAQs

Is the Glycerin GTS 23 suitable for flat feet?

Yes, the GuideRails support system is designed to provide stability for various arch types and foot motions.

How often should I replace these shoes?

Generally, running shoes like the Glycerin should be replaced every 300-500 miles, depending on your weight, running style, and the surfaces you run on.

Can I use these for speed training?

While they are very responsive, they are primarily built as high-cushion, high-stability trainers and are better suited for daily miles than short, high-intensity intervals.

Are these waterproof?

No, the technical mesh is designed for high airflow, meaning water will pass through if you run in heavy rain.

What is the primary difference between standard Glycerin and GTS models?

The GTS (Go-To-Support) version includes the GuideRails technology to provide extra alignment support, whereas the standard Glycerin is typically a neutral shoe.

Troubleshooting

Feeling of slipping or heel movement

Adjust the lacing using the top 'runner's eyelet' to lock the heel in place.

Premature wear on the outsole

Ensure you are using the shoes primarily on smooth road surfaces rather than abrasive gravel or trails.

Mesh upper feels stiff

Ensure you aren't over-tightening the laces, which can pull the upper fabric in a way that restricts natural foot movement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior impact absorption from DNA LOFT v3 cushioning
  • GuideRails technology offers excellent alignment support
  • Breathable mesh upper keeps feet cool during long training sessions
  • Robust outsole provides confident grip on paved surfaces

Cons

  • Heavier than minimalist or racing-focused models
  • Not intended for off-road or trail running
  • Substantial cushioning profile may feel too soft for some sprinters

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Brooks Glycerin GTS 23 trainers last throughout your training block, follow these guidelines:

  • Initial Fit: Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for foot swelling during long runs.
  • Break-in: While comfortable out of the box, perform a few shorter runs to allow the foam and upper to conform to your unique foot shape.
  • Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after runs. If they get muddy, hand wash using mild soap and water. Never machine wash or tumble dry, as high heat can damage the foam and adhesive.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Excessive heat can degrade the cushioning performance.
