Product Information

Full details

The Brooks Glycerin 23 Trainers are designed for adult female runners seeking a plush, comfortable experience for training and long runs. Their key benefit is the updated DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, offering exceptionally soft landings and responsive toe-offs. A potential caveat for some users might be the 8mm drop, which is standard but may differ from preferences for zero-drop or lower-drop shoes. This guide will cover its features, performance, setup, and care.

FAQs

What type of runner is the Brooks Glycerin 23 best suited for?

The Glycerin 23 is ideal for adult runners, particularly females, looking for maximum cushioning and comfort on daily training runs, long runs, and recovery runs. It suits neutral runners who don't require significant stability support.

How does the DNA LOFT v3 cushioning differ from previous versions?

The DNA LOFT v3 cushioning is nitrogen-infused, offering an even softer feel and improved responsiveness compared to previous iterations. It also features an additional 2mm of foam in the forefoot for enhanced propulsion.

Is the mesh upper breathable?

Yes, the Triple Jacquard Warp Knit Upper is designed for high breathability, allowing air to circulate and manage temperature effectively, keeping your feet cool and comfortable.

What is the heel-to-toe drop on the Glycerin 23?

The Glycerin 23 has an 8mm heel-to-toe drop, which is a standard drop that provides a balance between cushioning and a natural feel for most runners.

How do I clean my Brooks Glycerin 23 trainers?

Clean your trainers by brushing off loose dirt and then using a mild soap and cool water with a soft brush or cloth. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Avoid machine washing.

What is the weight of the Brooks Glycerin 23?

The Brooks Glycerin 23 weighs approximately 297g.

Can these shoes be used for marathon running?

Yes, the enhanced cushioning and comfort features make the Glycerin 23 well-suited for marathon distances, providing protection and reducing fatigue over long efforts.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Adjust the traditional lacing system. Try different lacing patterns to customize the fit around your midfoot and forefoot. Ensure you have the correct size; consult a sizing chart if unsure.

Discomfort or rubbing on the heel or toes

Ensure the padded collar and tongue are properly positioned. Check if the laces are too tight, causing pressure points. Wear moisture-wicking socks to reduce friction.

Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time

The midsole cushioning is designed for durability, but its properties can change with extensive use. Ensure the shoes are kept clean and dry between runs to prolong their lifespan. Consider replacing them after 300-500 miles of use, depending on your running style and weight.

Lack of grip on wet surfaces

While the rubber outsole provides good traction, very wet or slick surfaces can challenge any footwear. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris. For extremely wet conditions, exercise caution.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Brooks Glycerin 23 requires no special setup. Simply ensure you have the correct size for a comfortable fit and adjust the laces to your preference. The traditional lacing system allows for a customized lockdown.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for road running and general training. They are compatible with most running surfaces, including asphalt, pavement, and light trails. They are suitable for adult runners of all skill levels.

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

Cleaning: After runs, brush off any loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cool water with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, which can warp the shape and materials.
Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Rotate with other pairs if possible to allow them to fully dry out between uses.
Outsole Care: Regularly check the outsole for embedded debris and clean as needed to maintain optimal traction.
