Full details
The Brooks Glycerin 23 Trainers are designed for adult female runners seeking exceptional comfort and support, particularly for training and long runs. Their key benefit is the updated DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, providing an extra-soft feel underfoot. A potential caveat is that while offering a secure fit, the engineered mesh upper may require a break-in period for some users.

FAQs
Are the Brooks Glycerin 23 suitable for wide feet?
The standard width is designed for average foot shapes. Brooks often offers wide (2E) and extra-wide (4E) options for men, and wide (D) options for women. Check the specific product listing for available widths.
How do these compare to the Brooks Ghost series?
The Glycerin series is Brooks' most cushioned neutral trainer, offering a softer feel than the Ghost series, which provides a balance of softness and responsiveness.
Can I wear these for walking or everyday use?
Yes, the exceptional comfort and cushioning make them suitable for walking and general casual wear, especially if you prioritize a soft feel.
What is the expected lifespan of the Brooks Glycerin 23?
With regular use and proper care, most runners can expect to get between 300-500 miles (approximately 500-800 kilometers) out of the Glycerin 23 before the cushioning and support begin to degrade significantly.
How do I clean mud or dirt off the trainers?
Use a soft brush or an old toothbrush with a mild soap and water solution to gently scrub the affected areas. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.
Is the upper material waterproof?
The engineered mesh upper is designed for breathability and is not waterproof. It will allow air to pass through but will also let water in if exposed to significant moisture.
Troubleshooting
Slightly tight fit on first wear
Wear the trainers for short periods initially. The engineered mesh upper will adapt to your foot shape over a few runs.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
Ensure the midsole foam is clean and free from debris. While DNA LOFT v3 is durable, prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures can affect its properties. Proper care and storage will help maintain cushioning.
Foot slippage within the shoe
Check that the laces are tied correctly for a secure fit. Ensure you have the correct size; if the shoe is too large, consider using insoles or a heel grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. It is recommended to wear them for a short walk or run initially to acclimate your feet to the cushioning and fit.
Compatibility: The Brooks Glycerin 23 is designed for road running and general athletic activities. They are compatible with most running socks and can be used on treadmills. They are not intended for trail running or highly technical terrain due to their smooth outsole tread.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt from the upper and midsole. Avoid using harsh detergents or soaking the shoes in water.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid crushing them under other heavy items.
