FAQs
What is the main difference in the Glycerin 23 compared to previous models?
The Glycerin 23 features the updated DNA LOFT v3 cushioning for enhanced softness and a renewed engineered mesh upper for a more secure and ventilated fit.
Are these trainers suitable for someone who pronates?
The Glycerin series is known for its neutral support. While the cushioning is accommodating, individuals with significant pronation might benefit from a stability-focused shoe. However, some runners find the smooth transitions helpful regardless of pronation.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Brooks. It's recommended to measure your foot at the end of the day, as feet can swell. Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.
Can I wear these shoes for cross-training activities?
While they are optimized for running, the Glycerin 23 can be used for light cross-training. However, for activities requiring lateral support, a dedicated cross-training shoe would be more appropriate.
What is the expected lifespan of the Brooks Glycerin 23 Trainers?
Typically, running shoes last between 300-500 miles (approx. 480-800 km). This can vary based on running surface, frequency, intensity, and the runner's weight. The improved outsole durability in the Glycerin 23 aims to extend this range.
How does the DNA LOFT v3 cushioning feel?
DNA LOFT v3 is Brooks' softest cushioning technology. It provides a plush, comfortable feel underfoot that absorbs impact effectively without feeling mushy, offering a balanced blend of softness and responsiveness.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise during run
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try running in them a few more times. If it persists, check for any debris caught in the outsole grooves or try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole if removable.
Foot discomfort or blisters
Ensure you have the correct size and width. Try different lacing techniques to adjust the fit. If the issue persists, consider the possibility that this particular cushioning level or shoe model may not be the best match for your foot mechanics.
Upper feels too loose or too tight
Experiment with different lacing patterns. The engineered mesh is designed to adapt, but adjusting the lacing can fine-tune the fit across the midfoot and heel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear straight out of the box. They are compatible with standard athletic socks. To care for your Brooks Glycerin 23 Trainers, we recommend the following:
- Cleaning: Gently clean the exterior with a soft brush or cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap and water solution. 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 place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a dryer, as this can warp the shoe's shape and materials.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure they are dry before storing to prevent odor and material degradation.
