Brooks Glycerin GTS 23 Trainers - Black/Grey - UK 7

While the Glycerin GTS 23 offers excellent cushioning, its primary design includes GuideRails for stability, making it ideal for runners who over-pronate. Neutral runners might prefer the Brooks Glycerin 23 (non-GTS version) which offers similar cushioning without the specific stability features.

Running shoes typically last between 300 to 500 miles (500 to 800 kilometers). This can vary based on your running style, weight, and the surfaces you run on. Look for signs of wear like flattened cushioning or worn-out tread.

These trainers are specifically engineered for running, offering optimal support and cushioning for that activity. While comfortable for casual wear, they may not provide the specific support needed for other sports like cross-training or court sports.

The GuideRails system is designed to offer support only when your stride needs it. You should feel a natural alignment and reduced strain, particularly in your knees and feet, without feeling restricted or overly guided.

DNA LOFT v3 is nitrogen-infused, making it lighter, softer, and more responsive than previous versions. It offers consistent softness from the first mile to the last, with improved durability.

The engineered mesh upper is designed for breathability, not waterproofing. It will keep your feet cool but is not suitable for running in heavy rain or wet conditions without additional protection.

Adjust the lacing pattern. Try different lacing techniques to find a more personalized fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks.

Break in the shoes gradually with shorter runs. Check for any seams or debris inside the shoe. Ensure the size is correct for your foot.

The cushioning in running shoes naturally degrades with mileage. Consider replacing the shoes after 300-500 miles, depending on wear and tear.

The rubber outsole provides good traction, but performance may be reduced on very wet or slick surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.
