The Brooks Glycerin 23 is best for runners who prioritize maximum cushioning and comfort, especially for daily training, long runs, and recovery runs. It's ideal for neutral runners.
How does the DNA LOFT v3 cushioning differ from previous versions?
DNA LOFT v3 is an updated cushioning technology that offers an even softer feel and lighter weight compared to previous versions, providing enhanced comfort without sacrificing responsiveness.

Yes, the renewed engineered mesh upper is designed for both breathability and durability, offering a secure and long-lasting fit.
Can I use these shoes for marathon training?
Absolutely. Their superior cushioning and comfort make them an excellent choice for marathon training, helping to reduce fatigue on long-distance runs.
How should I clean my Glycerin 23 trainers?
It's best to clean them by hand using a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt. Avoid machine washing. Allow them to air dry naturally.
What is the expected lifespan of the Brooks Glycerin 23?
Typically, running shoes like the Glycerin 23 last between 300 to 500 miles (480 to 800 kilometers), depending on running style, surface, and care.
Are there other color options available for the Glycerin 23?
Yes, the Brooks Glycerin 23 comes in various colorways. This guide focuses on the Grey/Black model, but other options like Blue and Pink are also available.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing during initial runs
Ensure laces are adjusted correctly for a secure but not overly tight fit. Wear with appropriate running socks. Break them in with shorter runs before attempting long distances.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
While DNA LOFT v3 is durable, cushioning can naturally decrease with very high mileage. Consider replacing the shoes after approximately 300-500 miles, or when you notice a significant decrease in comfort.
Upper mesh feels less breathable
Ensure the mesh is clean and free from debris that might block airflow. Check that the laces are not tied too tightly, which can restrict ventilation.
