FAQs
Who is the Brooks Glycerin 23 designed for?
The Brooks Glycerin 23 is designed for adult male runners seeking maximum comfort, a smooth ride, and neutral support, primarily for road running and training.
What type of cushioning does the Glycerin 23 use?
It utilizes DNA Tuned cushioning with injected nitrogen for a soft, responsive, and balanced feel.
What is the drop on these shoes?
The shoes have a drop of 8mm.
Can I use these for trail running?
These trainers are optimized for road surfaces and are not recommended for trail running, as they lack the specific traction and protection needed for off-road conditions.
How do I clean my Glycerin 23 trainers?
Clean with a mild soap and cool water using a cloth or soft brush, then air dry away from direct heat. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
What is the weight of the Brooks Glycerin 23?
The weight is approximately 300.5 grams.
Are these shoes suitable for runners who overpronate?
No, the Glycerin 23 is a neutral shoe and is best suited for runners with a neutral gait. Runners who overpronate may require a stability shoe.
Troubleshooting
Slightly tight fit on first wear.
Wear the shoes around the house for short periods to allow the cushioning to adapt to your foot shape. Ensure laces are not over-tightened.
Reduced cushioning after many miles.
The cushioning is designed to last for hundreds of miles, but eventually, all shoes lose some of their responsiveness. Consider replacement when the impact absorption significantly decreases.
Foot discomfort on longer runs.
Ensure the shoes are the correct size and width. Check lacing technique for pressure points. If discomfort persists and you have a significant overpronation, consider a stability shoe.
