FAQs
What is the main benefit of the Brooks Glycerin 23?
The primary benefit is the exceptionally soft and comfortable ride provided by the updated DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, making it ideal for long runs and reducing impact.
Who is this shoe best suited for?
These trainers are best suited for adult male runners who prioritize maximum cushioning and comfort, especially for training runs, long distances, and recovery runs.
Can I use these for speed work or racing?
While they offer a smooth ride, the focus is on plush comfort rather than maximal responsiveness. They are generally better suited for training and daily mileage than for competitive speed work or races.
How do I clean my Glycerin 23 trainers?
Clean them using a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap and cool water. Avoid machine washing and always air dry them away from direct heat.
What is the difference between Glycerin 23 and previous models?
The Glycerin 23 features updated DNA LOFT v3 cushioning for enhanced softness and a renewed engineered mesh upper for a more secure and ventilated fit compared to older versions.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the engineered mesh upper is designed for breathability and is not waterproof. They are suitable for dry to mildly damp conditions but not for heavy rain.
How long should the cushioning last?
The DNA LOFT v3 cushioning is designed for durability, but like all running shoe cushioning, it will naturally degrade over time, typically after 300-500 miles of use.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing system to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size; consider if socks worn are thicker or thinner than usual.
Discomfort during initial runs.
Allow for a break-in period of a few runs. Wear them for shorter distances initially and gradually increase mileage.
Reduced cushioning effect over time.
While DNA LOFT v3 is durable, cushioning can naturally compress with extensive use. Ensure the shoes are not past their typical lifespan (usually 300-500 miles).
Slipping on wet surfaces.
The outsole provides good grip on dry surfaces, but caution is advised on very wet or slippery conditions. The shoes are not specifically designed for extreme wet weather traction.
