FAQs
What type of runner is the Brooks Glycerin 23 best for?
The Glycerin 23 is best suited for neutral runners who prioritize maximum cushioning and comfort, particularly for daily training, long runs, and recovery efforts on road surfaces.
What is the main cushioning technology used?
The primary cushioning technology is DNA LOFT v3, which is nitrogen-infused for an exceptionally soft, lightweight, and responsive feel.
What is the heel-to-toe drop on the Glycerin 23?
The heel-to-toe drop on the Brooks Glycerin 23 is 8mm.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
These shoes are optimized for road running. While they might handle very light, smooth trails, they lack the aggressive tread and protection typically needed for varied off-road terrain.
How do I clean my Glycerin 23 trainers?
Clean with a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For a deeper clean, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Always air dry away from direct heat and avoid machine washing.
Are these shoes suitable for marathon racing?
While very comfortable for marathon training, they are geared more towards comfort and cushioning than the lightweight responsiveness often desired for competitive marathon racing. They are excellent for logging high-mileage training weeks.
What is the weight of a single shoe?
The weight of a single Brooks Glycerin 23 trainer is approximately 300.5 grams.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring an even distribution of pressure. If still too tight, consider if this is the correct size or if the engineered mesh needs a short break-in period.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
While DNA LOFT v3 is durable, cushioning can naturally decrease with very high mileage. Ensure you are not exceeding the typical lifespan of running shoes (300-500 miles) and consider cleaning to remove debris that might affect feel.
Slipping sensation on wet surfaces
The outsole is designed for road traction. On very wet or slick surfaces, reduce speed and exercise caution. Ensure the outsole is clean of mud or debris.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for neutral runners and are most compatible with road running surfaces. They are suitable for various training intensities, from recovery runs to long-distance efforts.
Care:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
