FAQs
What type of runner is the Brooks Glycerin 23 best suited for?
The Glycerin 23 is ideal for adult runners with a neutral foot strike who prioritize maximum cushioning and comfort, especially for road running, long distances, and daily training.
What is the main difference between Glycerin 23 and other Brooks models?
The Glycerin series is known for its plush, softest cushioning in Brooks' lineup, achieved with DNA LOFT v3 technology. Models like the Ghost offer a balance of cushioning and responsiveness, while racers prioritize speed and minimal weight.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
No, the Brooks Glycerin 23 is designed specifically for road running. The outsole and upper are not optimized for the varied terrain and debris found on trails.
How much cushioning does the Glycerin 23 provide?
The Glycerin 23 offers maximum cushioning, featuring updated DNA LOFT v3 with injected nitrogen for an extra-soft and plush feel underfoot.
What is the weight of the Brooks Glycerin 23?
The weight is approximately 300.5 grams for a men's size 9.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The heel-to-toe drop on the Brooks Glycerin 23 is 8mm.
How do I maintain the cushioning and longevity of the shoes?
Regular cleaning with mild soap and water, allowing them to air dry, and avoiding extreme heat will help maintain their condition. Replace the shoes after 300-500 miles of running to ensure optimal cushioning and support.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks. Loosen the laces and re-tie them, focusing on an even distribution of pressure. If discomfort persists, the size or width may not be suitable for your foot.
Reduced cushioning effect over time.
While the DNA LOFT v3 is durable, cushioning can naturally decrease with very high mileage. Consider replacing the shoes after approximately 300-500 miles, or when you notice a significant loss of comfort and support.
Upper mesh feels worn or damaged.
Inspect for snags or tears. Avoid sharp objects and excessive abrasion. Clean gently as per care instructions.
Soles show excessive wear.
This can indicate your running gait or the surfaces you run on. The improved outsole is designed for durability on roads, but very aggressive foot strikes or abrasive surfaces can accelerate wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: The Brooks Glycerin 23 arrives ready to wear. Ensure you have selected the correct size. For optimal fit, it is recommended to try them on with the type of socks you typically run in.
Compatibility: These shoes are designed as neutral trainers for road running. They are compatible with most standard running socks and apparel. They are not designed for trail running or highly technical terrain.
Care:
- Cleaning: To clean, remove laces and insoles. Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. Use a damp cloth with mild soap and water to wipe down the upper and midsole. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Drying: Allow 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 damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
