Full details

FAQs

Are the Brooks Glycerin 23 suitable for wide feet?

While the engineered mesh offers some adaptability, the Glycerin 23 is generally designed for a standard width. If you require a wider fit, Brooks often offers specific wide (2E) or extra-wide (4E) options for many of their models, though availability can vary by version and retailer.

How does the DNA LOFT v3 cushioning compare to previous versions?

The DNA LOFT v3 is an updated version of Brooks' softest cushioning technology. It is designed to be lighter, softer, and more responsive than previous iterations, providing an even more plush feel underfoot.

Can I use these for walking or everyday wear?

Yes, the comfort and cushioning make them suitable for casual wear and walking. However, their primary design and features are optimized for running performance.

What is the expected lifespan of the Brooks Glycerin 23?

With proper care and average use, running shoes like the Glycerin 23 typically last between 300 to 500 miles. This can vary based on running surface, your weight, and running form.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, the engineered mesh upper is designed for breathability and is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry conditions, though they can handle light, intermittent rain.

What is the drop on the Brooks Glycerin 23?

The Brooks Glycerin 23 has a heel-to-toe drop of 10mm, which is a standard measurement that works well for many runners.

Troubleshooting

Uneven wear on the outsole

This can occur due to gait irregularities. Ensure you are using the correct shoe for your foot type and consider consulting a running specialist. Rotate between multiple pairs of shoes if possible.

Discomfort in the forefoot

While designed for softness, ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly. If persistent, consider the fit in the toe box or try a different lacing technique.

Upper feels too warm

The engineered mesh is designed for ventilation, but if you experience excessive heat, ensure socks are moisture-wicking. Check that the laces are not tied too tightly, restricting airflow.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional softness for long-run comfort.
  • Breathable upper keeps feet cool.
  • Smooth ride reduces fatigue.
  • Durable construction for extended use.
  • Suitable for various training intensities.

Cons

  • May feel less responsive for sprinters.
  • Prioritizes softness over maximum speed.
  • Specific cushioning might not suit all foot types.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. No specific setup is required. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.

Compatibility: The Brooks Glycerin 23 is designed as a neutral running shoe, suitable for runners with a neutral gait or those who use custom orthotics. It is compatible with most running surfaces, including roads, tracks, and light trails.

Care Instructions: To maintain the condition of your trainers:

  • Cleaning: Spot clean with a mild detergent and cold water using a soft brush or cloth. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals, as this can damage the materials.
  • Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can degrade the cushioning and synthetic materials.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
