FAQs
What type of runner is the Brooks Glycerin 23 best for?
The Brooks Glycerin 23 is ideal for adult runners with a neutral pronation who are looking for maximum cushioning and comfort, especially for daily training and long-distance running.
How does the DNA LOFT v3 cushioning differ from previous versions?
DNA LOFT v3 is Brooks' softest cushioning yet, offering an even more plush and comfortable feel underfoot compared to older versions, while maintaining durability.
Can I use the Glycerin 23 for marathon running?
Yes, the Glycerin 23 is well-suited for marathon running due to its superior cushioning and comfort, which helps reduce fatigue over long distances.
Is the engineered mesh upper waterproof?
No, the engineered mesh upper is designed for breathability and ventilation, not waterproofing. It will allow air to pass through but is not designed to repel water.
How should I clean my Brooks Glycerin 23 trainers?
Clean them using a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid machine washing or using high heat for drying. Always air dry.
What is the main benefit of the improved outsole?
The improved outsole offers greater durability, meaning it is more resistant to wear and tear, extending the overall lifespan of the trainers.
Are these shoes suitable for trail running?
No, the Brooks Glycerin 23 trainers are designed for road running and general training. They lack the aggressive tread and lateral support needed for trail running.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring even pressure. If still too tight, consider if the size is appropriate or if the shoe needs a short break-in period.
Cushioning feels too soft
This is by design for maximum comfort. If a firmer feel is preferred, this model might not be the best fit. Consider a different model from Brooks with firmer cushioning.
Upper material seems less breathable than expected
Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly, which can restrict airflow. Check if the inner lining is wet, which can reduce breathability. Allow shoes to dry completely.
Outsole showing premature wear
Check your running form and stride. Ensure you are running on appropriate surfaces (road/treadmill). Excessive wear on specific areas might indicate a biomechanical issue.
