Brooks Glycerin 23 Running Shoes - Black - Size 8 UK

The Brooks Glycerin 23 is designed for adult runners, particularly men, who prioritize high cushioning for everyday road running and long-distance comfort. It's suitable for neutral runners.

The main benefit is its superior, consistent cushioning that provides exceptional comfort and reduces impact on the legs and joints over long distances.

These trainers are specifically designed for road running. While they might offer some grip on light trails, they are not optimized for uneven terrain and lack the protection and traction of trail-specific shoes.

Clean them using a soft brush to remove loose dirt, and a damp cloth with mild soap and cool water for tougher spots. Avoid machine washing and allow them to air dry away from direct heat.

The Brooks Glycerin 23 has an 8mm heel-to-toe drop, which helps promote smooth transitions during your stride.

The cushioning typically lasts between 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style, weight, and the surfaces you run on. Replace the shoes when you notice a significant reduction in shock absorption.

The Glycerin 23 is a neutral shoe, meaning it does not offer specific stability features for overpronation. Runners needing stability support might consider the Brooks Glycerin GTS (Go-To-Support) models.

This is normal as the shoes break in. Ensure laces are not too tight. If discomfort persists after several runs, consider if the shoe's cushioning level is suitable for your gait.

The cushioning system, particularly the foam, naturally compresses with mileage. For optimal performance, consider replacing the shoes after 300-500 miles, or when you notice a significant decrease in shock absorption.

While engineered for breathability, very high temperatures or intense efforts might still cause warmth. Ensure socks are moisture-wicking. If persistent, consider shoes with a more aggressively vented upper for extreme conditions.
