Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your Brooks Glycerin GTS 23 trainers, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, wear them for shorter 3-5 km runs for the first week to allow the foam to adapt to your foot shape.
- Sizing: Ensure a thumb-width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for foot swelling during long runs.
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft brush. If deeply soiled, clean by hand using lukewarm water and a mild detergent. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can degrade the cushioning materials.
- Rotation: Allow shoes to air dry completely for at least 24 hours between runs if they become damp from sweat or rain, which helps prolong the life of the midsole foam.
