FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?

Yes, the Glycerin GTS 23's high level of cushioning and supportive GuideRails make them well-suited for the demands of marathon distances.

How do I clean my Brooks Glycerin GTS 23 trainers?

Gently clean with a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher spots, use a mild soap and cool water with a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing and air dry only.

What is the difference between GTS and standard Glycerin models?

GTS stands for 'Go-To Support'. The Glycerin GTS models include the GuideRails support system for enhanced stability, whereas the standard Glycerin models focus solely on neutral cushioning.

What is the recommended mileage before replacement?

Generally, running shoes like the Glycerin GTS 23 are recommended for replacement after 300-500 miles, depending on usage, impact, and terrain.

Can I wear these for walking or cross-training?

While primarily designed for running, the comfort and cushioning make them suitable for walking. For high-impact cross-training, a shoe with more lateral support might be preferable.

What is the heel-to-toe drop?

The Brooks Glycerin GTS 23 has an 8mm heel-to-toe drop.

Is the upper material waterproof?

The engineered mesh upper is designed for breathability, not waterproofing. It allows air to flow through and will not keep feet dry in wet conditions.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Adjust the lacing system, ensuring you are not over-tightening. Try different lacing techniques. Confirm you have the correct size; consider if socks are thicker than usual.

Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time

The midsole cushioning naturally compresses with use. While the DNA LOFT v3 is durable, performance may gradually decrease. Consider replacement after approximately 300-500 miles of running, depending on terrain and impact.

Slipping on wet surfaces

While the outsole provides good traction, extremely wet or slick surfaces can still pose a risk. Exercise caution and ensure your stride is controlled. The outsole is designed for durability and general grip, not extreme conditions.

Excessive pressure on the arch or heel

This may indicate an incorrect fit or that the GuideRails system is interacting with your natural gait in an unexpected way. Ensure the shoe fits correctly and consider consulting a running specialist if the issue persists.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional cushioning for a soft and comfortable running experience.
  • The GuideRails system offers effective stability without feeling intrusive.
  • Breathable knit upper keeps feet cool and comfortable.
  • Durable outsole provides reliable traction and longevity.
  • Suitable for daily runs and longer distances due to comfort and support.

Cons

  • The stability features might feel unnecessary for runners with naturally neutral gaits.
  • As a highly cushioned shoe, it may not provide the ground-feel some runners prefer.
  • Weight (308g) might be slightly heavier than minimalist trainers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Brooks Glycerin GTS 23 comes ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. The traditional lacing system allows for a personalized fit; lace them snugly but not so tight that they restrict circulation.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for road running and general fitness activities. They are compatible with most standard athletic socks. They are not specifically designed for trail running or technical terrains due to the outsole pattern.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Remove loose dirt and debris with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cool water with a damp cloth. Do not machine wash or dry.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
