Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Glycerin 23 Trainers are designed for adult female runners seeking exceptional comfort and a smooth, stable running experience, particularly for training and long distances. Their key benefit lies in the updated DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, offering an ultra-soft feel underfoot. A potential consideration is the engineered mesh upper, which, while providing a secure and ventilated fit, might be less accommodating for those with very wide feet without trying them on first.

These trainers are best for neutral runners or those who need a touch of support, offering maximum softness for training and long runs.
How should I clean my Glycerin 23 trainers?
Gently clean with a soft brush or damp cloth and mild soap with cool water. Air dry naturally away from heat sources. Do not machine wash.
What is the main difference in the Glycerin 23 compared to previous models?
The Glycerin 23 features an updated DNA LOFT v3 cushioning for even softer comfort and a renewed engineered mesh upper for an improved fit and ventilation.
Can I wear these shoes for everyday casual wear?
While designed for running, the comfort and cushioning make them suitable for casual wear if desired, though their primary function is athletic performance.
How durable is the outsole?
The outsole has been improved for greater durability, designed to withstand regular use and provide reliable traction over many miles.
What is the typical lifespan of these trainers?
For optimal performance and cushioning, trainers like the Glycerin 23 are typically replaced after 300-500 miles of running, depending on individual stride and surface.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure the laces are loosened before putting them on. If still tight, consider trying a half-size larger or exploring models with a wider fit option.
Discomfort after initial runs
Allow a break-in period of a few runs. If discomfort persists, check lacing technique and ensure the shoes are the correct size and width for your feet.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
The cushioning is designed for longevity. If the softness significantly diminishes, it may indicate the shoes have reached the end of their lifespan, typically after 300-500 miles.
Upper material feels restrictive
The engineered mesh is designed to be snug for support. Try lacing techniques that alleviate pressure points. If the restriction is significant, a wider fit may be necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Brooks Glycerin 23 trainers are ready to wear right out of the box. Ensure they fit comfortably before your first run.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for road running. They are suitable for neutral runners and those who may benefit from mild support. Compatibility with specific orthotics can vary; it is recommended to test with your personal insoles if needed.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and mud after runs. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the materials. For stubborn stains, use a mild soap with cool water and a soft brush.
