Product Information

Full details

The Brooks Glycerin GTS 23 Trainers are designed for adult male runners seeking consistent stability and plush cushioning on daily runs and long distances. Its key benefit is the combination of DNA LOFT v3 cushioning with integrated GuideRails support for a smooth, stable ride. A potential consideration is that the stability features are most beneficial for those who overpronate or need enhanced support.

FAQs

Are the Brooks Glycerin GTS 23 suitable for beginners?

Yes, the combination of cushioning and stability makes them a good option for beginners who may need a bit of extra support and comfort as they build their running base.

How do I know if I need the GTS (Go-To-Support) version?

The GTS version includes GuideRails support, which is beneficial if you overpronate (your foot rolls inward excessively) or if you simply prefer a more guided, stable ride.

Can I wear these for walking?

While designed for running, the excellent cushioning and support also make them comfortable for walking, especially for longer periods.

How often should I replace my Brooks Glycerin GTS 23 trainers?

Running shoes typically need replacement every 300-500 miles, or when you notice significant wear on the outsole or a decrease in cushioning and support.

Is the mesh upper waterproof?

No, the engineered mesh upper is designed for breathability and is not waterproof. For wet conditions, consider waterproof shoe covers or specialized trail running shoes.

What is the difference between Glycerin and Glycerin GTS?

The Glycerin is a neutral shoe focused purely on soft cushioning, while the Glycerin GTS (Go-To-Support) adds GuideRails technology for stability, making it suitable for runners needing support.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks. Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring an even distribution of pressure. If the issue persists, consider if a different size or width is needed.

Lack of cushioning feel

The DNA LOFT v3 cushioning is designed for a balanced feel. If you prefer a significantly softer or firmer ride, these may not meet that specific preference. Ensure the shoes are broken in; cushioning can feel firmer initially.

Support feels intrusive

The GuideRails are designed to work subtly. If you are a strong neutral runner, the support might feel unnecessary. Try wearing them for shorter runs initially to adapt, or consider a neutral shoe model if stability is not required.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional cushioning for long-distance comfort.
  • Integrated GuideRails provide excellent stability for overpronators.
  • Breathable upper keeps feet cool and comfortable.
  • Smooth ride promotes efficient stride.
  • Durable construction for regular use.

Cons

  • May feel slightly less flexible than neutral shoes.
  • Stability features might feel unnecessary for neutral runners.
  • The grey/black colorway might not appeal to all aesthetic preferences.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: These are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and support. It is recommended to try them on with the type of socks you typically run in.

Compatibility: Designed for road running and daily training. They are suitable for runners who benefit from added stability or mild overpronation support.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage the materials.
  2. Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
