Product Information

Full details

The Brooks Glycerin GTS 23 trainers are designed for adult male runners seeking a balance of supreme softness and structured support for everyday road running. The key benefit is high cushioning combined with stability, ideal for those who need a supportive yet plush ride. A potential caveat is that the GTS (Go-To-Support) features might be more support-oriented than some runners prefer for purely neutral strides. This guide covers their features, use, and care.

FAQs

What is the main difference between the Glycerin GTS 23 and the Glycerin 23?

The 'GTS' in Glycerin GTS 23 stands for 'Go-To-Support'. These models include Brooks' GuideRails technology for added stability, while the standard Glycerin 23 is designed for neutral runners seeking maximum softness without targeted support.

Who is the Glycerin GTS 23 best suited for?

It's ideal for runners who need support for mild to moderate overpronation, or any runner who appreciates a supremely cushioned shoe with added stability for everyday road running, long distances, and recovery.

How do I clean my Brooks Glycerin GTS 23 trainers?

Gently clean the exterior with a soft brush or a damp cloth. For the insoles, remove them and clean with a damp cloth, then air dry. Do not machine wash or use harsh chemicals.

What is the expected lifespan of these trainers?

The lifespan varies depending on usage, mileage, and running surface, but typically, running shoes provide optimal cushioning and support for 300-500 miles (480-800 km).

Can I use these for treadmill running?

Yes, the Brooks Glycerin GTS 23 is suitable for treadmill running, offering the same cushioning and support benefits as on the road.

Does the 8mm heel drop make a difference?

An 8mm heel drop generally promotes a more balanced foot strike. It's a common and versatile drop that works well for many runners, bridging the gap between zero-drop and higher-drop shoes.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, the engineered mesh upper is designed for breathability, not waterproofing. They are suitable for dry conditions and light rain but will get wet in heavy downpours.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Loosen the laces, particularly around the midfoot, and re-lace using the asymmetrical system to better conform to your foot shape. Ensure you have the correct size; consider trying a half size up if persistent discomfort occurs.

Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time

Cushioning naturally degrades with mileage. If the shoes are heavily used (typically over 300-500 miles), the cushioning may be worn out. Consider replacing them. Ensure the insoles are properly seated.

Slipping in the heel

Tighten the laces using the heel-lock lacing technique (using the extra eyelets near the ankle collar). Ensure the external heel counter is functioning correctly and not damaged.

Poor traction on wet surfaces

The rubber sole is designed for road surfaces. Traction on wet pavement may be reduced compared to dry conditions. Clean the outsole of debris, which can also impact grip.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional cushioning for ultimate comfort on road runs.
  • Integrated support system (GTS) is ideal for runners needing stability.
  • Breathable upper material keeps feet cool.
  • Durable rubber outsole provides reliable traction.
  • Secure and personalized fit due to the lacing system.

Cons

  • May offer more support than strictly neutral runners require.
  • The plush cushioning might feel too soft for runners who prefer a firmer, more responsive feel.
  • As with many cushioned shoes, they can be slightly heavier than minimalist options.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure they fit correctly by lacing them up snugly but comfortably, adjusting the asymmetrical lacing to your preference.

Compatibility: Designed for road running. While they offer good traction, they are not optimized for trail running or very wet/slippery conditions.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt from the upper and sole. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can degrade the foam and adhesives.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid cramming them into tight spaces where they might lose their shape.
