Product Information

Full details

The Brooks Glycerin 23 trainers are engineered for adult runners seeking a premium balance of plush, nitrogen-infused cushioning and supportive alignment. These shoes are ideal for distance runners looking to reduce joint strain and improve comfort during long training sessions, though runners preferring a lightweight, minimalist "ground-feel" shoe may find the substantial foam stack height takes some getting used to. With their advanced midsole technology and breathable upper, they provide a reliable, high-performance experience on various road surfaces.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?

Yes, the inclusion of the GuideRails support system helps provide necessary alignment that can benefit runners with flat feet or overpronation.

Can I use these for gym workouts?

While primarily designed for running, the stable platform makes them suitable for moderate gym use, though they may be too soft for heavy weightlifting.

How often should I replace the Glycerin 23?

Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and individual wear patterns.

Is the upper material waterproof?

No, the triple jacquard warp knit is designed for maximum breathability rather than water resistance.

What is the heel-to-toe drop?

The Brooks Glycerin 23 features an 8mm heel-to-toe drop.

How should I clean the white or light-colored parts of the sole?

Use a soft brush with mild soapy water to scrub the outsole, then rinse gently and air dry.

Troubleshooting

Feeling pressure or rubbing on the top of the foot

Try a different lacing technique, such as the window lacing method, to relieve pressure on the high points of your arch.

Slipping at the heel while running

Use the extra eyelet at the top of the shoe to perform a runner's loop (lace lock) to create a more secure heel fit.

Knit upper appears stretched after heavy use

Ensure the shoes are completely dry before putting them on, as moisture can make the knit feel looser; tighten laces slightly more to compensate.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Plush nitrogen-infused cushioning for high comfort
  • Effective stability through the GuideRails system
  • Highly breathable knit upper for temperature regulation
  • Durable outsole provides excellent grip on road surfaces

Cons

  • Higher stack height may feel bulky to some runners
  • Not intended for minimalist or speed-focused racing
  • May require a break-in period for the knit upper to conform to the foot

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Glycerin 23, proper care is essential. When you first receive your shoes, ensure a thumb-width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as these can degrade the nitrogen-infused foam and weaken the knit upper material. Instead, wipe away surface dirt with a soft brush or a damp cloth after runs. If the shoes become soaked, remove the insoles and stuff them with newspaper to allow for natural, air-driven drying. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the midsole from warping.
