Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Glycerin 23 trainers are designed for adult male runners seeking a comfortable, balanced, and smooth running experience on the road. Their key benefit is the updated DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, providing extra-soft comfort for long runs and training sessions. A potential caveat is their neutral shoe type, which may not be ideal for runners requiring pronation support. These trainers feature a renewed engineered mesh upper for a secure and ventilated fit, smooth transitions, and an improved outsole for greater durability.

FAQs
What type of runner is the Brooks Glycerin 23 best suited for?
The Glycerin 23 is ideal for adult runners with a neutral gait who prioritize soft cushioning and comfort for road running, especially for daily training and long distances.
What is the main difference in cushioning compared to previous models?
The Glycerin 23 features updated DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, which is infused with nitrogen for an even softer, lighter, and more responsive feel compared to earlier versions.
Can these shoes be used for trail running?
No, these trainers are specifically designed for road surfaces. They lack the aggressive traction and protection needed for trails.
How do I clean my Brooks Glycerin 23 trainers?
Gently clean the shoes with a soft brush or cloth using cool water and mild soap. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
What is the heel-to-toe drop of the Glycerin 23?
The heel-to-toe drop is 8 mm, which is a moderate drop that balances cushioning with a natural feel.
Are these shoes suitable for runners who overpronate?
The Glycerin 23 is a neutral shoe and is not designed to provide corrective support for overpronation. Runners who overpronate may need a stability shoe.
What is the weight of the Brooks Glycerin 23?
The weight is approximately 300.5 grams for a men's size, which is considered standard for a highly cushioned daily trainer.
Troubleshooting
Slightly tight fit
Ensure laces are not over-tightened. If persistent, consider wearing with thinner socks or exploring alternative lacing techniques.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
Cushioning may naturally decrease with extensive use. Ensure the shoes are not exceeding their recommended lifespan (typically 300-500 miles). Check for wear on the outsole.
Discomfort during long runs
Verify the shoe size and width are correct. Ensure the shoe's neutral design is suitable for your gait. Break-in period might be necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Brooks Glycerin 23 trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. It is recommended to wear them for a short walk or easy run initially to get accustomed to the feel.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for road running and are best suited for individuals with a neutral gait. They are not specifically designed for trail running or for individuals requiring motion control or significant stability features.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth with cool water and mild soap to clean the upper and outsole. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can degrade the cushioning and materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
