FAQs

Who is the Brooks Glycerin 23 designed for?

The Brooks Glycerin 23 is designed for adult runners, particularly women, who prioritize maximum cushioning and comfort, especially for daily training and long-distance runs.

What is the main benefit of the DNA LOFT v3 cushioning?

The DNA LOFT v3 cushioning provides an exceptionally soft and plush feel underfoot, reducing impact and enhancing comfort during runs.

Are these shoes suitable for speedwork or racing?

While they offer excellent comfort, the Glycerin 23 is primarily designed for comfort and cushioning rather than speed. For faster workouts or races, a shoe with a firmer, more responsive feel might be more appropriate.

How durable is the outsole?

The outsole has been improved for greater durability, making it suitable for regular training and long runs, helping to extend the lifespan of the shoe.

Can I machine wash the trainers?

No, it is not recommended to machine wash the trainers. Cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method to maintain the integrity of the materials.

What is the primary advantage of the engineered mesh upper?

The engineered mesh upper provides a secure, breathable, and adaptive fit, allowing for good ventilation and accommodating the natural shape and movement of the foot.

What does 'UK 7.5' refer to?

'UK 7.5' refers to the standard UK sizing for women's footwear. This specific product guide is based on the Brooks Glycerin 23 in that size.

Troubleshooting

Slightly tight fit on initial try-on

The engineered mesh upper is designed to stretch slightly and conform to your foot. Wear them around the house for short periods to allow them to break in. If still uncomfortable, consider trying a half-size larger.

Reduced cushioning feel over time

While DNA LOFT v3 is durable, cushioning can naturally compress with extensive use. Ensure you are not exceeding the intended lifespan of the trainers (typically 300-500 miles). Check for any debris or wear on the outsole that might affect the feel.

Feet feel warm during runs

The engineered mesh offers good ventilation, but in very warm conditions, some warmth is expected. Ensure socks are moisture-wicking. If persistent, consider trying a different sock material or ensure no external factors are contributing to heat.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Remove excess dirt with a soft brush or dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents.
  2. Drying: Allow the trainers 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 damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
