FAQs

Who is the Brooks Glycerin GTS 23 designed for?

These trainers are designed for adult male runners who need high cushioning and structured support for everyday road running. They are particularly suitable for those who experience mild overpronation or desire a stable yet soft ride.

What is the main difference between Glycerin and Glycerin GTS?

The 'GTS' stands for 'Go-To-Support'. Glycerin models offer maximum cushioning, while Glycerin GTS models add an integrated support system for runners who need stability, without sacrificing the plush cushioning.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by Brooks and compare it with your current shoe size. It's recommended to measure your foot length and width. The UK size 7 in this guide is a specific reference point.

Can I use these shoes for cross-training or trail running?

While they can handle some light cross-training, they are optimized for road running. Their cushioning and support are not ideal for technical trails, where more aggressive traction and protection are needed.

What is the expected lifespan of the Glycerin GTS 23?

Like most running shoes, the Glycerin GTS 23 typically lasts between 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style, weight, and the surfaces you run on. You'll know it's time for a new pair when the cushioning feels significantly reduced or you experience new aches and pains.

How often should I clean my trainers?

Clean your trainers as needed, especially after muddy or dirty runs. Regular spot cleaning with a damp cloth is sufficient for general maintenance. Avoid deep cleaning or machine washing.

Does this model come in other colors or sizes?

Yes, the Brooks Glycerin GTS 23 series is available in various colorways and sizes for both men and women, as seen in the product's sibling information.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or cause pressure points.

Adjust the asymmetrical lacing system. Try lacing through different eyelets or loosening specific sections to relieve pressure. Ensure you are using the correct size and width.

Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time.

Cushioning naturally degrades with mileage. Consider replacing the shoes after approximately 300-500 miles of use, or when you notice a significant decrease in comfort and support.

Feet feel hot or sweaty during runs.

While the mesh is breathable, ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks. Clean any debris from the mesh to maintain optimal airflow. Consider shorter runs in very hot weather.

Slipping or lack of traction on wet surfaces.

The rubber sole is designed for road grip. Traction may be reduced on very wet or slippery surfaces. Run with caution in such conditions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional softness for comfortable long runs.
  • Provides reliable structured support for stability.
  • Breathable upper keeps feet cool.
  • Durable outsole for road running.
  • Secure and comfortable lacing system.

Cons

  • The 8mm heel drop may not suit runners preferring a zero or low-drop shoe.
  • Primarily designed for road running; may not perform optimally on trails.
  • Structured support might feel too restrictive for neutral runners who don't need it.
  • Colorway (Beige) might show dirt more easily than darker options.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers come ready to wear. Ensure you lace them using the asymmetrical system to achieve the best fit and comfort. It is recommended to wear them with moisture-wicking running socks.

Compatibility: The Brooks Glycerin GTS 23 is designed for road running. They are compatible with most running surfaces found on pavement, asphalt, and hard-packed paths. They are not optimized for trail running or very technical terrain.

Care: To maintain the shoe's condition:

  1. Cleaning: Remove excess dirt with a soft brush. For tougher spots, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
  2. Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
