FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the Brooks Glycerin 23?

The Brooks Glycerin 23 is designed for everyday road running, offering high cushioning for consistent comfort over distance.

Are these shoes suitable for trail running?

No, the Glycerin 23 is specifically designed for road running and may not provide adequate traction or protection for trail surfaces.

How do I clean my Glycerin 23 trainers?

Gently brush off loose dirt, then use a damp cloth with mild soap and cool water. Air dry away from direct heat.

What does the '8mm heel drop' mean?

The heel drop refers to the difference in height between the heel and the forefoot. An 8mm drop facilitates a smoother transition during your running stride.

Can I use these for racing?

While they offer great comfort, the high level of cushioning might make them less responsive for competitive racing compared to lighter, more performance-oriented racing flats. They are best suited for training runs.

What is the main difference between Glycerin 23 and Glycerin GTS 23?

The Glycerin 23 offers neutral support, while the Glycerin GTS 23 includes GuideRails support for runners who need additional stability.

How long do these shoes typically last?

With proper care and regular use on roads, the Brooks Glycerin 23 typically lasts between 300 to 500 miles before the cushioning and support begin to significantly degrade.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Adjust the lacing system to achieve a secure but comfortable fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size; consider trying a half-size up or down if the fit is consistently uncomfortable.

Reduced cushioning over time

The cushioning may naturally compress after significant mileage. For optimal performance, consider replacing your running shoes every 300-500 miles or when you notice a significant decrease in support and comfort.

Slipping on wet surfaces

While the rubber sole provides traction, wet surfaces can reduce grip. Run with caution on wet roads and consider alternative footwear for extremely slick conditions if needed.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Brooks Glycerin 23 requires no specific setup. They are ready to wear right out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for road running and are compatible with various running surfaces like asphalt, concrete, and treadmills.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Remove loose dirt and debris with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cool water with a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry completely at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
