Brooks Glycerin 23 Trainers - Black/Grey - Size UK 5

The primary benefit is the ultra-soft DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, providing exceptional comfort and impact absorption, ideal for long runs and recovery.

Yes, their superior cushioning makes them excellent for marathon training and the race itself, especially for runners who value comfort over a highly responsive feel.

While they provide a smooth ride, their focus on soft cushioning means they may not offer the most responsive feel for intense speedwork. They are better suited for daily training and long runs.

Clean them with a mild soap and cold water using a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or drying. Always air dry at room temperature.

The Glycerin series is known for its maximum cushioning. Other models like the Ghost offer a balance of cushioning and responsiveness, while racing shoes are designed for speed.

While the engineered mesh offers some flexibility, the standard width might not be ideal for very wide feet. Check for available wide (2E for men, D for women) options if needed.

The Glycerin 23 offers neutral support, making them suitable for runners with a neutral pronation or those who use orthotics.

Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing pattern. If still uncomfortable, consider a different size or width.

The Glycerin 23 is designed for maximum softness. If a firmer ride is preferred, consider other Brooks models or brands focusing on responsiveness.

Avoid abrasive cleaning methods. Inspect for any tears and consult the manufacturer's warranty if the wear seems premature.

Ensure you are using the shoes on appropriate surfaces (roads and light trails). Rotate with another pair of shoes if running frequently to extend their lifespan.
