FAQs

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

The Glycerin 23 is best for neutral runners who prioritize maximum cushioning and comfort, especially for long runs and daily training.

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

DNA LOFT v3 cushioning is engineered to be softer and lighter, providing an even more comfortable and responsive feel underfoot compared to older versions.

Can I use the Glycerin 23 for speedwork or racing?

While comfortable, the Glycerin 23 is primarily designed for cushioning and comfort. For speedwork or racing, you might prefer a lighter, more responsive shoe.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. Your heel should feel secure, and there should be no pinching or excessive pressure points.

What is the expected lifespan of the Glycerin 23 trainers?

Typically, running shoes like the Glycerin 23 last between 300 to 500 miles, depending on running surface, frequency, and individual biomechanics.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, the Brooks Glycerin 23 trainers are not waterproof. They feature an engineered mesh upper designed for breathability, which allows water to enter.

How should I clean my Glycerin 23 trainers?

Clean them gently with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allow them to air dry. Avoid machine washing or using high heat.

Troubleshooting

Uncomfortable fit or pressure points

Ensure laces are tied correctly without over-tightening. Consider trying a half-size larger or smaller if the fit feels off.

Reduced cushioning over time

Cushioning can decrease with high mileage. If the shoes feel less responsive, it may be time to consider replacement, typically after 300-500 miles.

Feet feel too warm during runs

Ensure socks are moisture-wicking. The engineered mesh is designed for breathability, but extreme conditions may still lead to warmth.

Slipping sensation on wet surfaces

The outsole provides good traction on dry surfaces, but performance may be reduced on very wet or slick conditions. Exercise caution in such environments.
