FAQs

Are the Brooks Glycerin 23 suitable for marathon running?

Yes, the Glycerin 23 is an excellent choice for marathon running due to its superior cushioning and comfort, which helps reduce fatigue over long distances.

What is the main difference compared to previous Glycerin models?

The Glycerin 23 features updated DNA LOFT v3 cushioning for extra-soft comfort and a renewed engineered mesh upper for a more secure and ventilated fit, along with improved outsole durability.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Ensure there's about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The fit should be snug in the heel and midfoot without being constricting, and allow toes to wiggle freely.

Can I use these for speed training or racing?

While comfortable, the Glycerin 23 prioritizes plush cushioning over lightweight responsiveness. For speed work or races, you might prefer a lighter, more performance-oriented shoe. However, they are suitable for tempo runs if comfort is key.

How durable is the outsole?

The durable rubber outsole is designed for longevity and provides consistent grip and traction across various surfaces, ensuring sustainable performance over many miles.

Is this shoe good for pronation support?

The Glycerin 23 is a neutral running shoe, designed to provide cushioning and comfort without specific pronation control features. It's best suited for runners with a neutral gait.

What is the weight of the Brooks Glycerin 23?

The Brooks Glycerin 23 weighs approximately 297g, which is typical for a well-cushioned training shoe.

Troubleshooting

Slightly tight fit initially

The knit upper is designed to stretch and adapt to your foot shape over time. Wear them for shorter distances initially, and they should become more comfortable as they break in.

Reduced cushioning after many miles

Midsole cushioning naturally degrades over time. If you've logged over 300-500 miles, consider replacing your shoes to maintain optimal shock absorption and comfort.

Traction feels less effective on wet surfaces

While the rubber outsole is durable, all running shoes have reduced traction on very wet or slippery surfaces. Exercise caution and ensure your stride is controlled in such conditions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional cushioning for a plush and comfortable ride.
  • Breathable upper helps keep feet cool during runs.
  • Durable outsole provides reliable traction and longevity.
  • Designed for smooth transitions, reducing impact on joints.
  • Comfortable fit with padded collar and tongue.

Cons

  • Can feel heavier than minimalist running shoes.
  • The focus on maximum cushioning might not suit runners who prefer a more responsive or ground-feel.
  • The knit upper, while breathable, might offer less water resistance in wet conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Brooks Glycerin 23 requires no special setup. Simply ensure you have the correct size for a comfortable fit. Lace them up using the traditional lacing system to achieve a secure midfoot lockdown.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for running on roads, treadmills, and light trails. They are suitable for adult runners of all levels, particularly those seeking maximum cushioning.

Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your Glycerin 23 trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cold water with a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
  2. Drying: Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
  3. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid leaving them in hot cars or damp environments.
