Product Information

Full details

The Brooks Glycerin GTS 23 Trainers are designed for adult male runners who need enhanced stability and support without compromising on a smooth, comfortable stride. Their key benefit lies in the combination of nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 cushioning and GuideRails technology, providing adaptive support. A potential caveat for some users might be the specific drop and weight, which could feel different from lighter, more minimalist shoes.

FAQs

Who is the Brooks Glycerin GTS 23 designed for?

These trainers are ideal for adult runners, particularly males, who need enhanced stability and cushioning for daily runs and long distances on asphalt surfaces.

What is the main benefit of the GuideRails technology?

GuideRails provide holistic support by keeping excess movement in check, guiding your foot into its natural path and reducing stress on your knees and hips.

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

DNA LOFT v3 is an evolved cushioning that uses injected nitrogen to achieve a soft yet responsive feel that is lighter and more durable, offering consistent performance.

Can I use these shoes for trail running?

The Glycerin GTS 23 is primarily designed for road running, especially on asphalt. While they might offer some grip on light trails, they are not optimized for technical trail conditions.

What is the weight of the Brooks Glycerin GTS 23?

The weight is approximately 311.8 grams for a men's size (specific size not mentioned in provided data, but this is a typical reference weight).

What is the heel-to-toe drop of this shoe?

The heel-to-toe drop is 8mm.

How should I clean my Glycerin GTS 23 trainers?

Clean with a soft brush for loose dirt, and use a mild soap with cold water and a soft cloth for deeper cleaning. Always air dry and avoid machine washing.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure laces are adjusted correctly. Try a different lacing pattern or consider if the size is appropriate. Break-in period may be required for optimal comfort.

Reduced cushioning effect over time

Cushioning may naturally decrease with extensive use. Consider cleaning the shoes as per care instructions. If performance significantly degrades, it may be time for a replacement pair.

Slipping sensation during runs

Check if the lacing is too loose, or if the socks are not providing adequate grip. Ensure the shoes are the correct size and width for your feet.

  • Durable construction suitable for regular training.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Brooks Glycerin GTS 23 requires no specific setup. Simply lace them up and go. Ensure they are comfortably snug but not too tight, allowing for natural foot expansion during runs.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for road running, with a primary focus on asphalt surfaces. They are suitable for a wide range of adult runners, particularly those who benefit from stability features.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After runs, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cold water with a soft cloth. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes 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 alter their shape and materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Avoid storing them in plastic bags, which can trap moisture.
