Product Information

Full details

The Brooks Glycerin 23 trainers are designed for adult female runners seeking a plush, comfortable, and stable experience, particularly for road running and long distances. Its key benefit is the ultra-soft cushioning that provides both plush landings and powerful toe-offs, mile after mile. A potential caveat for some users might be the neutral ride, which may not offer sufficient support for runners who overpronate significantly. Key features include updated DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, a renewed engineered mesh upper for breathability and a secure fit, and a wide platform for smooth transitions.

FAQs

Who are the Brooks Glycerin 23 trainers best suited for?

These trainers are ideal for adult female runners who need a neutral, highly cushioned shoe for road running, especially for long distances and training.

What is the main benefit of the DNA LOFT v3 cushioning?

The DNA LOFT v3 cushioning is nitrogen-infused, providing an ultra-soft and plush feel for landings while maintaining responsiveness for powerful toe-offs.

Are these shoes good for marathon training?

Yes, their plush cushioning and comfortable upper make them an excellent choice for marathon training and long runs where comfort and impact absorption are key.

How should I clean my Glycerin 23 trainers?

Clean them with a soft brush and mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing and harsh detergents. Allow them to air dry naturally.

What does 'Neutral Ride' mean?

A neutral ride means the shoe is designed for runners with a neutral foot strike and does not incorporate specific features to correct overpronation or excessive supination.

What is the heel-to-toe drop of the Glycerin 23?

The heel-to-toe drop is 8mm.

Can I use these shoes for trail running?

While they can handle light trails, they are primarily designed for road running. Aggressive or technical trails may require shoes with more aggressive traction and protection.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try wearing them with your usual running socks. If discomfort persists, consider if the shoe's neutral support is adequate for your gait. Adjust lacing to find a more comfortable fit.

Cushioning feels too soft or too firm

The Glycerin 23 offers plush cushioning. If it feels too soft, it might be best suited for longer runs where maximum comfort is desired. If it feels too firm, ensure the shoes are properly broken in. Note that individual perception of cushioning can vary.

Soles showing excessive wear

Check for any trapped debris in the outsole. Ensure you are running on appropriate surfaces (roads and light trails). If wear is premature and uneven, it might indicate an issue with your running form or that the shoes are not suited for your gait.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: These trainers are ready to use straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for a proper fit.

Compatibility: The Brooks Glycerin 23 are designed as neutral road running shoes. They are best suited for runners with a neutral gait who run on paved surfaces or firm trails. They are not specifically designed for trail running with highly technical terrain or for athletes requiring significant motion control or pronation support.

Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your Glycerin 23 trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Clean the shoes regularly by removing loose dirt with a soft brush. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and water solution with a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can warp the shoe's shape and materials.
  3. Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
  4. Rotation: For optimal performance and to extend the life of the shoes, consider rotating them with another pair of running shoes if you run frequently.
