Product Information

Full details

The Brooks Glycerin 23 Trainers are designed for adult female runners seeking a plush, comfortable experience for road running. Its key benefit is the premium, tuned cushioning that provides soft landings and energetic toe-offs, mile after mile. A potential caveat is its neutral ride, which may not suit runners needing stability support. Key features include a modern knit upper for breathability and comfort, an 8mm heel-to-toe drop, and a lightweight design at 269g.

FAQs

Are the Brooks Glycerin 23 suitable for people with wide feet?

The Glycerin 23 features a knit upper that offers some flexibility. While not explicitly a wide-fit shoe, some users find the adaptable nature of the upper accommodating. It's recommended to try them on or check for available wide (2E for men, D for women) sizing options if available for your specific model.

What is the main difference between Glycerin and other Brooks neutral shoes like the Ghost?

The Glycerin series is Brooks' most cushioned neutral shoe, prioritizing plush comfort and softness. The Ghost, while also a neutral shoe, offers a balance of cushioning and responsiveness, often perceived as slightly firmer but still very comfortable.

How do I clean mud off the shoes?

Gently remove excess mud with a dry brush. Then, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap and water to clean the affected areas. Rinse the cloth and wipe again. Allow the shoes to air dry completely.

Can I wear these shoes for gym workouts?

Yes, the cushioning and comfort make them suitable for various gym activities, especially those involving lower impact or standing for long periods. However, for activities requiring significant lateral support or weightlifting, a dedicated training shoe might be more appropriate.

What does 'neutral ride' mean?

A neutral ride means the shoe is designed for runners whose feet do not excessively pronate (roll inward) or supinate (roll outward). The shoe's midsole is typically uniform in density, providing cushioning without added stability features.

How long should I expect these trainers to last?

With proper care and for their intended use (road running), the Brooks Glycerin 23 trainers are generally expected to last between 300 to 500 miles. This can vary based on running intensity, surface type, and individual running form.

Is the knit upper waterproof?

No, the knit upper is designed for breathability and is not waterproof. It will allow air circulation but will get wet in heavy rain or puddles.

Troubleshooting

Slightly tight fit on first wear

The knit upper is designed to offer a snug, sock-like fit. Wear the shoes for a few short runs to allow them to break in and adapt to your foot shape.

Reduced cushioning effect over time

While durable, cushioning can degrade with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes after 300-500 miles, or when you notice a significant decrease in comfort and support.

Discomfort on uneven surfaces

These shoes are optimized for roads. For trail running or significantly uneven surfaces, consider a shoe with a more robust outsole and greater stability.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional cushioning for long-distance comfort.
  • Breathable and comfortable knit upper.
  • Lightweight construction reduces leg fatigue.
  • Smooth transitions from heel to toe.
  • Suitable for neutral runners.

Cons

  • May lack sufficient support for overpronators.
  • Knit upper might not offer maximum durability for very rough terrain.
  • Specific colorways/sizes can have limited availability.
  • 8mm drop may not suit all foot strike preferences.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These trainers require no special setup. They are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.

Compatibility:

Designed for road running surfaces. Compatible with most running socks. Not intended for trail running or technical terrain due to the smooth outsole pattern.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use mild soap and cold water with a soft brush. Avoid machine washing or drying.
  • Drying: Air dry shoes naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid storing in damp conditions.
