Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Glycerin 23 Trainers are designed for adult male runners seeking a smooth, balanced, and comfortable experience for road running, training, and long distances. Their key benefit is the optimized DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, providing extra-soft comfort. A potential consideration is the neutral shoe type, which may not be ideal for runners needing pronation support. Key features include enhanced cushioning, a renewed engineered mesh upper for a secure and ventilated fit, smooth transitions, and an improved outsole for durability.

What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The heel-to-toe drop is 8 mm.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
No, the Glycerin 23 is specifically designed for road surfaces. The outsole and cushioning are optimized for pavement, not the varied terrain of trails.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing during runs
Ensure the correct size and width are selected. Try adjusting the lacing pattern to find a more secure and comfortable fit. Break in the shoes gradually on shorter runs before attempting long distances.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
Cushioning can feel less pronounced as the shoe accumulates mileage. Clean the shoes according to care instructions. If the cushioning feels significantly degraded, it may be time to consider replacing the shoes, typically after 300-500 miles.
Poor grip on wet surfaces
The outsole is optimized for road surfaces. While generally good, performance on extremely wet or slick surfaces can vary. Ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris for optimal traction. For very wet conditions, consider slower paces or alternative footwear if grip is a major concern.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Brooks Glycerin 23 trainers are ready to use straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for a comfortable fit. A proper fit should allow ample room in the toe box without the heel slipping.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for road running and are classified as neutral shoes. They are best suited for runners with a neutral gait or those who use custom orthotics. They are ideal for training, long runs, and everyday mileage on paved surfaces.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Remove excess dirt with a soft brush or dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cold water with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or solvents.
- Drying: Never machine wash or machine dry your trainers. Stuff them with newspaper or paper towels to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
