FAQs
Who is the Brooks Glycerin 23 best suited for?
The Glycerin 23 is ideal for adult runners seeking maximum cushioning and comfort, particularly for everyday training and long-distance runs. It's a great option for neutral runners who want a soft, smooth ride.
How does the DNA LOFT v3 cushioning differ from previous versions?
DNA LOFT v3 is an updated cushioning technology offering an even softer feel and lighter weight compared to previous iterations, enhancing overall comfort without compromising durability.
Can I use these trainers for trail running?
The Glycerin 23 is primarily designed for road running. While the outsole offers some durability, it lacks the aggressive tread needed for optimal grip and protection on uneven trail surfaces.
What is the expected lifespan of the Brooks Glycerin 23?
Like most running shoes, the Glycerin 23 is typically expected to last between 300 to 500 miles (approximately 480 to 800 kilometers). This can vary based on running surface, individual stride, and maintenance.
How do I find the right size?
It is recommended to try on the shoes with the type of socks you typically run in. Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. Refer to the Brooks sizing chart if unsure.
Are there other color options available?
Yes, the Brooks Glycerin 23 comes in various colorways, including Black/Grey, Pink, and White/Pink, catering to different preferences.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or restrictive
Ensure you are using the correct UK size. Try lacing them with a different pattern or loosening the laces around the midfoot. Wear with thin to medium thickness socks.
Reduced cushioning or comfort over time
The cushioning is designed for long-term use, but if comfort decreases, consider if the shoes have reached the end of their lifespan (typically 300-500 miles). Check for wear on the outsole and midsole.
Feet feel hot or sweaty
The engineered mesh upper provides ventilation, but intense activity can still lead to heat buildup. Ensure socks are moisture-wicking. Clean any debris from the mesh to maintain airflow.

Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your Glycerin 23 trainers:
- Cleaning: Spot clean with a mild detergent and cold water using a soft brush or cloth. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the materials.
