Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Glycerin 23 Trainers are designed for adult male runners seeking exceptional comfort and a smooth ride during training and long-distance runs. Its key benefit lies in the updated DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, providing an extra-soft feel underfoot. A potential consideration is that the specialized cushioning might feel too soft for runners who prefer a firmer, more responsive feel.

FAQs
Are the Brooks Glycerin 23 suitable for marathon running?
Yes, the Glycerin 23 is excellent for marathon running due to its superior cushioning and comfort, which helps reduce fatigue over long distances for neutral runners.
Can I use these trainers for trail running?
While the cushioning is suitable for light trails, the outsole is primarily designed for road surfaces. For technical trails, a shoe with more aggressive traction might be better.
How do I know if these trainers are the right fit for my pronation?
The Glycerin 23 is a neutral shoe, best suited for runners with a neutral pronation or those who use supportive insoles. If you overpronate significantly, you might need a stability shoe.
How often should I replace my Brooks Glycerin 23 trainers?
Typically, running shoes should be replaced every 300-500 miles (480-800 km) or when you notice significant wear on the outsole or a decrease in cushioning responsiveness.
What is the main difference between Glycerin 23 and previous versions?
The Glycerin 23 features the updated DNA LOFT v3 cushioning for enhanced softness and a renewed engineered mesh upper for an improved fit and breathability compared to earlier models.
Can these trainers be used for gym workouts?
Yes, they can be used for general gym workouts, especially for cardio machines or lighter strength training, but they are optimized for running performance.
Troubleshooting
Slightly tight fit on initial wear
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. The engineered mesh upper will adapt to your foot shape over time.
Cushioning feels too soft
This is a characteristic of the DNA LOFT v3. If a firmer feel is preferred, consider models with different cushioning technologies. The Glycerin 23 is optimized for maximum softness.
Mesh upper shows signs of wear
Avoid abrasive cleaning methods. Gently clean with mild soap and water. Ensure proper drying to preserve the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Brooks Glycerin 23 trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for a comfortable fit. It is recommended to wear them for shorter distances initially to allow your feet to adapt to the cushioning and fit.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for road running and general training. They are suitable for individuals with a neutral foot strike. For runners requiring motion control or significant stability, a different model might be more appropriate.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap with cold water and clean with a soft brush or cloth. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Drying: Air dry the trainers at room temperature, away from direct heat sources. Stuffing them with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
