FAQs

What type of runner is the Brooks Glycerin 23 best suited for?

The Glycerin 23 is ideal for neutral runners seeking maximum cushioning and comfort, especially for daily training, long runs, and recovery runs. It's well-suited for those who prioritize a soft feel underfoot.

How does the DNA LOFT v3 cushioning differ from previous versions?

DNA LOFT v3 is an updated cushioning technology that is softer and lighter than previous iterations, providing an even more plush and comfortable experience.

Can I use these trainers for speed work or racing?

While comfortable, the Glycerin 23 is designed for comfort and cushioning rather than speed. For faster running or racing, you might consider a more responsive or lightweight model from Brooks.

How do I clean my Brooks Glycerin 23 trainers?

Gently clean with a soft brush and mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing. Always air dry away from direct heat.

Are these shoes suitable for runners with wide feet?

Brooks often offers the Glycerin series in wider widths (e.g., 2E for men, D for women). Check product availability for specific width options.

What is the expected lifespan of the Brooks Glycerin 23?

The lifespan varies based on mileage, running style, and surface, but typically, running shoes offer optimal performance between 300-500 miles. The improved outsole durability on the Glycerin 23 aims to extend this range.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, the engineered mesh upper is designed for breathability and is not waterproof. They are suitable for dry conditions and light rain, but not for running in heavy downpours or puddles.

Troubleshooting

Slightly tight fit

Utilize the laces to adjust the snugness. If still tight, consider using them for shorter periods initially to allow the shoe to conform to your foot.

Feet feel warm during runs

Ensure socks are moisture-wicking. The engineered mesh is designed for breathability, but sock choice can impact overall temperature.

Reduced cushioning feel over time

Cushioning can naturally compress with extensive use. Regular cleaning and proper drying can help maintain performance. Consider replacement if mileage exceeds typical shoe lifespan.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional cushioning for superior comfort on long runs.
  • Breathable upper keeps feet cool and comfortable.
  • Smooth and stable ride promotes efficient stride.
  • Durable outsole provides long-lasting wear.
  • Secure and accommodating fit.

Cons

  • May feel too soft for runners who prefer a firmer, more responsive shoe.
  • Not optimized for fast-paced speed work or racing.
  • Cushioning might be less durable for extremely heavy runners compared to firmer options.
  • Can be slightly heavier than minimalist running shoes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Brooks Glycerin 23 trainers are ready to wear right out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for a comfortable fit. We recommend trying them on indoors first to confirm the fit before outdoor use.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for road running. While they can handle light trails or treadmills, their primary design is for paved surfaces.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Remove excess dirt with a soft brush or dry cloth. For tougher dirt, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft cloth or brush. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.
  2. Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
