Full details

The Brooks Glycerin 23 trainers are designed for adult female runners seeking exceptional comfort and support, particularly for training and long-distance running.

FAQs

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

The Glycerin 23 is ideal for adult runners seeking maximum cushioning and comfort, especially for daily training, long runs, and recovery runs. It's a great option for neutral runners.

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

DNA LOFT v3 is an updated version offering an even softer feel and improved responsiveness compared to older DNA LOFT formulations, while maintaining its lightweight and durable properties.

Is the engineered mesh upper durable?

Yes, the engineered mesh is designed for both durability and flexibility, providing a secure and breathable fit that holds up to regular running.

Can I use these for racing?

While comfortable, the Glycerin 23 is primarily designed for comfort and cushioning during training. For racing, you might prefer a lighter, more performance-oriented shoe, but they can be used for longer races if comfort is your main priority.

How often should I replace my Glycerin 23 trainers?

It's generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300-500 miles, or when you notice a significant decrease in cushioning or support, which depends on your running habits and weight.

Are these shoes waterproof?

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

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

The Glycerin is Brooks' most cushioned neutral shoe, offering a softer feel than the Ghost, which provides a balance of cushioning and responsiveness.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure the laces are tied correctly for a secure but not overly tight fit. Check if the size is appropriate. Break in the shoes gradually with shorter runs.

Reduced cushioning feel over time

While DNA LOFT v3 is durable, cushioning can degrade with very high mileage. Consider replacing the shoes after 300-500 miles depending on wear and impact.

Slipping on wet surfaces

The outsole provides good traction, but like most running shoes, grip may be reduced on very wet or slick surfaces. Run with caution in such conditions.

Pros and Cons

  • Durable outsole for extended use.

Cons

  • May feel too soft for runners preferring a firmer, more responsive shoe.
