FAQs
Who is the Brooks Glycerin 23 best suited for?
The Glycerin 23 is ideal for adult runners seeking maximum cushioning and comfort, particularly those who run on roads for training or long distances and have a neutral foot strike.
What is the main difference in the Glycerin 23 compared to previous models?
The Glycerin 23 features an updated DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, providing an even softer and more responsive feel, along with a renewed engineered mesh upper for improved fit and ventilation.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
No, the Glycerin 23 is designed specifically for road running. The outsole tread is not optimized for the varied terrain and debris found on trails.
What is the heel-to-toe drop of the Glycerin 23?
The heel-to-toe drop is 8mm.
How often should I replace my Glycerin 23 trainers?
It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300-500 miles (500-800 km), or when you start to feel a loss in cushioning or support.
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
Yes, the Glycerin 23's focus on maximum cushioning and comfort makes them an excellent choice for marathon running and other long-distance events.
How do I clean my Brooks Glycerin 23 trainers?
Clean them gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing and allow them to air dry away from direct heat.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size and width. Try lacing the shoes differently to adjust pressure points. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time
Cushioning naturally degrades with mileage. Consider replacing the shoes after approximately 300-500 miles (500-800 km) of use, or when you notice a significant decrease in comfort.
Upper material showing wear or tearing
Avoid abrasive contact with rough surfaces. Ensure proper fit to prevent excessive friction on the mesh. Clean gently as per care instructions.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The outsole is designed for road traction. For significantly wet or slippery conditions, exercise caution. Consider shoes with more aggressive tread patterns if frequent use in such conditions is necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.
Compatibility: The Brooks Glycerin 23 is designed as a neutral running shoe, best suited for runners with a neutral foot strike or those who use supportive orthotics. They are optimized for road running surfaces.
Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your Glycerin 23 trainers:
- Cleaning: Gently clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
- Rotation: For optimal lifespan and to allow materials to recover, consider rotating with another pair of running shoes if you run frequently.
