Product Information

Full details

The Brooks Glycerin GTS 23 is a premium trainer designed specifically for male runners who need a balance of structured support and maximum underfoot softness. It is an ideal choice for road training where comfort and stability are paramount, though runners seeking a minimalist or ultra-light racing flat may find the cushioning profile more substantial than required for speed work.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for trails?

The Glycerin GTS 23 is specifically engineered for road training. While it can handle light gravel paths, it lacks the aggressive lug depth required for technical or uneven trail surfaces.

What does the GTS stand for?

GTS stands for 'Go-To Support,' indicating this model includes Brooks' holistic support system designed to keep your body in its natural alignment.

How often should I replace these trainers?

Generally, trainers like the Glycerin GTS 23 should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and body weight.

Can I use my own custom orthotics?

Yes, the Glycerin GTS 23 features a removable insole that can be easily swapped for most custom or aftermarket orthotic inserts.

How do I clean the mesh upper?

Use a soft sponge with mild detergent and water, gently dabbing at stains rather than scrubbing, then allow them to air dry away from direct sunlight.

Troubleshooting

Foot feels slightly cramped after long runs

Your feet naturally swell during activity; consider loosening the laces slightly mid-run or ensuring your sock thickness is appropriate for your shoe fit.

Slipping or movement inside the shoe

Adjust your lacing technique to a 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' to secure the ankle collar against your foot.

Visible wear on the outsole grip

Regularly inspect the outsole and rotate with another pair of trainers to allow the cushioning foam 24-48 hours to fully rebound between sessions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior impact absorption for joint protection
  • Stable ride suitable for overpronation support
  • Highly breathable materials for moisture management
  • Adaptable cushioning technology
  • Durable construction for consistent road use

Cons

  • Not intended for minimalist runners
  • Cushioning volume adds slight bulk compared to racing flats
  • Design is strictly optimized for road surfaces

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To get the best performance from your Glycerin GTS 23, ensure you choose the correct UK size for your foot width to allow the upper to sit flush against the skin without restricting natural movement. For daily care, avoid placing the shoes in a washing machine or dryer, as high heat can degrade the integrity of the nitrogen-infused foam and adhesive bonds. Instead, remove the insoles after a particularly wet run to let them air dry naturally in a cool, well-ventilated area. If the outsole accumulates road debris or mud, use a soft-bristled brush and lukewarm water to gently clear the grip patterns to maintain traction.
