Full details

The key benefit is its optimized, extra-soft cushioning with updated DNA LOFT v3, providing a plush feel for training and long runs. A potential caveat is that the neutral shoe type may not be suitable for runners requiring significant stability support. Key features include superior cushioning, a secure and ventilated engineered mesh upper, smooth transitions, and an improved, durable outsole.

FAQs

What type of runner is the Brooks Glycerin 23 best suited for?

The Brooks Glycerin 23 is ideal for adult runners seeking maximum comfort, especially for road running, training, and long distances. It is best suited for those with a neutral gait.

How does the cushioning compare to previous models?

The Glycerin 23 features updated DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, infused with nitrogen, offering an even softer and more responsive feel compared to older versions.

Can I use these shoes for trail running?

No, the Glycerin 23 is specifically designed for road surfaces. Its outsole and upper are not optimized for the demands of trail running, which typically requires more aggressive tread and protective features.

What is the weight of the Brooks Glycerin 23?

The weight of the Brooks Glycerin 23 is approximately 300.5 grams.

What is the heel-to-toe drop?

The heel-to-toe drop on the Brooks Glycerin 23 is 8 mm.

How should I clean my Glycerin 23 trainers?

Clean the trainers using a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Do not machine wash or dry.

Is this shoe suitable for someone who pronates?

The Glycerin 23 is a neutral shoe. Runners who overpronate may require a stability shoe with additional support features.

Troubleshooting

Slightly tight fit on first wear

The engineered mesh upper is designed to adapt. Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow them to conform to your foot shape. Avoid wearing them for long runs until they feel comfortable.

Reduced cushioning after extended use

While durable, cushioning does degrade over time. If you notice a significant loss of responsiveness, consider replacing the shoes. Typical lifespan is between 300-500 miles depending on usage and terrain.

Upper feels less breathable

Ensure the mesh upper is clean and free from debris. Minor blockages can sometimes impede airflow. Check that your socks are also breathable.
