FAQs
What is the main benefit of the Brooks Glycerin 23?
The main benefit is maximum comfort due to its ultra-soft DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, designed for a smooth and balanced running experience.
Are these shoes suitable for trail running?
No, the Brooks Glycerin 23 are specifically designed for road running. Their outsole and cushioning are optimized for paved surfaces.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The heel-to-toe drop on the Brooks Glycerin 23 is 8mm.
How often should I replace my Glycerin 23 trainers?
It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 500-800 km (300-500 miles), but this can vary based on your running habits, weight, and the surfaces you run on.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash the Brooks Glycerin 23 trainers. Cleaning with mild soap, cold water, and a soft brush is the preferred method.
Who is the ideal runner for the Glycerin 23?
The ideal runner is an adult seeking maximum comfort for daily training and long runs on the road, who prefers a neutral shoe type with soft cushioning.
What does 'Neutral Shoe Type' mean?
A neutral shoe type is designed for runners whose feet do not excessively roll inward (pronate) or outward (supinate) when they run. It offers cushioning and support without motion control features.
Troubleshooting
Unusual noise during run
Check for any small debris lodged in the outsole grooves. Ensure laces are tied correctly and not causing friction.
Slipping sensation
Verify the lacing is snug and secure. Ensure the shoe is the correct size and width for your foot. Clean the outsole if it appears dirty or worn.
Discomfort or pressure points
Ensure the shoe size and width are appropriate. Try adjusting the lacing pattern. Wear with suitable athletic socks. Break-in period may be required for new shoes.
Reduced cushioning over time
Cushioning naturally decreases with mileage. Consider replacing the shoes after approximately 500-800 km (300-500 miles) of use, depending on impact and running style.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Brooks Glycerin 23 trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for a comfortable fit. No special setup is required.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for road running and are best suited for adult runners with a neutral foot strike. They are compatible with most standard athletic socks.
Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your Glycerin 23 trainers:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cold water with a soft cloth or brush. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents.
- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure they are not compressed for extended periods.
