FAQs
Are the Brooks Glycerin 23 suitable for marathon training?
Yes, the Glycerin 23 is ideal for marathon training due to its superior cushioning and comfort for long-distance runs.
What type of runner is this shoe best for?
This shoe is best for neutral runners or those with mild supination who prioritize soft cushioning and comfort.
How do I clean my Glycerin 23 trainers?
Clean them using a damp cloth or soft brush and mild soap if necessary. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.
What is the main difference in the Glycerin 23 compared to previous versions?
The Glycerin 23 features updated DNA LOFT v3 cushioning for enhanced softness and a renewed engineered mesh upper for a better fit and ventilation.
Can I wear these shoes for everyday casual wear?
While comfortable for casual wear, their primary design is for running. Frequent casual wear may affect their performance characteristics over time.
How long should I expect these shoes to last?
The lifespan typically ranges from 300-500 miles, depending on running intensity, frequency, and surface type.
Is this shoe good for overpronators?
The Glycerin 23 is designed for neutral runners. If you overpronate significantly, you might consider a stability shoe.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing during runs
Ensure the correct size and width are selected. Check lacing for proper tension – not too tight or too loose. Consider wearing moisture-wicking socks.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
Cushioning will naturally break in. If the feel significantly diminishes, the shoes may have reached the end of their lifespan (typically 300-500 miles).
Upper feels too loose or too tight
Adjust lacing patterns. For a looser feel, use a less aggressive lacing pattern. For a tighter feel, ensure the heel counter is securely locked down.
Traction issues on wet surfaces
While the outsole is improved, extreme wet conditions can reduce grip. Ensure the outsole is free of debris for optimal performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Brooks Glycerin 23 trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for running on roads and other hard surfaces. They are suitable for neutral runners and those who supinate. They are compatible with most running sock types.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a damp cloth or a soft brush to remove surface dirt. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.

- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid storing in damp conditions.
