Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Glycerin 23 is a premium neutral trainer designed for male adult runners seeking a smooth, plush ride for daily training sessions on the road. Featuring nitrogen-infused DNA Tuned cushioning, these shoes offer exceptional support and fluid transitions throughout your gait cycle; however, runners who prefer a firm, ground-feel sensation may find the high-cushion platform less responsive for speed-focused interval training.

FAQs
Is the Brooks Glycerin 23 suitable for flat feet?
The Glycerin 23 is a neutral shoe. If you have flat feet and require significant arch support, you may need to consult with a professional to see if an orthotic insert is compatible with this neutral platform.
What is the weight of these trainers?
The Brooks Glycerin 23 weighs 300.5 grams, making it a well-balanced option for daily training.
Can I use these for trail running?
These trainers are designed specifically for road running. The outsole does not feature the aggressive lugs necessary for traction on loose trail terrain.
What does the 8 mm drop mean?
The 8 mm drop refers to the difference in height between the heel and the forefoot. This moderate drop is designed to facilitate a smooth, natural transition during your gait.
How often should I replace these shoes?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface, body weight, and gait.
Does this model come in different widths?
Brooks often produces various width options for the Glycerin series; please check the specific product listing for availability.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure points around the midfoot
Try utilizing different lacing techniques, such as a runner's loop, to adjust the tension across the bridge of the foot.
Cushioning feels less responsive after many miles
Check the outsole for excessive wear and consider rotating in a new pair if the midsole has reached its mechanical life expectancy.
Excessive moisture accumulation
Remove the insole after your run and stuff the shoe with newspaper to absorb residual sweat, allowing it to dry more effectively.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Glycerin 23 trainers, follow these maintenance tips:
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, perform a few shorter runs to allow the cushioning to adapt to your foot strike pattern.
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft brush. Hand wash using mild soap and cold water if necessary; never put them in a washing machine or dryer as the heat can degrade the cushioning material.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, which can warp the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup in the footbed.
- Rotation: If you run frequently, consider rotating between two pairs to allow the nitrogen-infused midsole to fully decompress between sessions.
