FAQs

Who is the Brooks Glycerin GTS 23 best suited for?

This shoe is ideal for adult runners, particularly men, who need high levels of cushioning and structured support for everyday road running. It's great for those who experience mild overpronation.

What is the main difference between Glycerin and Glycerin GTS?

The 'GTS' in Glycerin GTS stands for 'Go-To Support'. While the Glycerin offers neutral cushioning, the Glycerin GTS includes the GuideRails® support system to help manage excess movement and provide stability.

How do I clean my Glycerin GTS 23 trainers?

Clean them gently with a damp cloth or soft brush and mild soap if necessary. Avoid machine washing and harsh chemicals. Always air dry.

What is the heel drop on this shoe?

The Brooks Glycerin GTS 23 has an 8mm heel drop.

Can I use these for trail running?

These trainers are specifically designed for road running. While they might handle very light, smooth trails, they lack the aggressive traction and protection needed for technical or uneven off-road terrain.

How long should these shoes last?

With proper care and regular use for running, the Glycerin GTS 23 typically lasts between 300 to 500 miles before the cushioning and support significantly degrade.

Does the lacing system allow for customization?

Yes, the asymmetrical lacing system is designed to follow the natural shape of the foot, allowing for a more personalized and secure fit by adjusting the tension across different areas of the foot.

Troubleshooting

Foot discomfort or rubbing

Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly for a secure but not overly tight fit. Check that you are wearing appropriate running socks. If discomfort persists, the shoe may not be the right fit for your foot shape.

Reduced cushioning over time

Cushioning naturally degrades with mileage. If you notice a significant loss of softness, it may be time to consider replacing the shoes, typically after 300-500 miles of use.

Slipping on wet surfaces

The rubber sole is designed for optimal grip on dry roads. Use caution when running on wet or slick surfaces, as traction may be reduced.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional cushioning for ultimate comfort on road runs.
  • Provides reliable stability for neutral runners or those needing mild support.
  • Breathable upper keeps feet comfortable during extended use.
  • Durable construction suitable for high mileage.
  • Secure and adaptive fit through the lacing system.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for road running; less suited for trails.
  • May feel too soft for runners who prefer a firmer ride.
  • The support system is geared towards mild overpronation, not severe issues.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Brooks Glycerin GTS 23 requires no specific setup; simply ensure the fit is correct by lacing them appropriately using the asymmetrical lacing system to conform to your foot shape.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for road running and general fitness activities on hard surfaces. They are compatible with most running socks.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Use a damp cloth or a soft brush to remove dirt and mud from the upper and sole. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer.
  3. Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
