Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Glycerin 23 Sneaker is designed for adult male runners seeking exceptional comfort and support, particularly for training and long runs. Its key benefit is the updated DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, providing an extra-soft feel underfoot. A potential caveat is that while it offers a secure fit, runners preferring a very minimalist feel might find the cushioning substantial.

FAQs
What is the main difference in the Glycerin 23 compared to previous models?
The Glycerin 23 features an updated DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, which is softer, lighter, and more responsive than previous versions. It also includes a renewed engineered mesh upper for improved fit and ventilation.
Is the Brooks Glycerin 23 suitable for runners with flat feet?
The Glycerin 23 is a neutral shoe, best suited for runners with a neutral pronation or those who supinate. Runners with flat feet who require significant arch support might benefit from a stability shoe. Consulting with a running specialist is recommended.
How do I know if this is the right size for me?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The shoe should feel snug but not tight around the midfoot and heel.
Can I use these for trail running?
No, the Brooks Glycerin 23 is designed for road running and general training. Its outsole is not optimized for the grip and protection required for trail surfaces.
What is the expected lifespan of the Glycerin 23?
With regular use and proper care, running shoes typically last between 300-500 miles. The improved outsole on the Glycerin 23 is designed for greater durability within this range.
Are there other color options available for the Glycerin 23?
Yes, the Brooks Glycerin 23 is available in various colorways. Please check the product listings for the most current availability.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or narrow
Ensure you have the correct size. If the shoe is the correct size but still feels snug, the engineered mesh upper may require a short break-in period. Wearing them for shorter runs initially can help them adapt to your foot shape.
Cushioning feels stiff initially
The DNA LOFT v3 cushioning is designed to be soft but may feel firmer before it's broken in. Go for a few shorter runs to allow the cushioning to adapt to your stride.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
While the outsole offers good durability, grip on very wet or slick surfaces can be reduced. Exercise caution when running in wet conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Brooks Glycerin 23 comes ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. As with any new running shoe, a short break-in period is recommended for the cushioning and upper to fully conform to your foot.
Compatibility: This shoe is designed for road running and general training. It is compatible with most running surfaces but is not intended for trail running or highly technical terrain due to its smoother outsole pattern.
Care:
- Cleaning: To clean, use a mild soap and cold water with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the shoe's materials and structure.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight for extended periods.
- Rotation: For optimal performance and longevity, consider rotating between multiple pairs of running shoes if you run frequently.
