Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Glycerin 23 Trainers are designed for adult male runners seeking exceptional comfort and smooth transitions, particularly for training and long runs. Their key benefit lies in the updated DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, offering an extra-soft feel underfoot. A potential caveat is the specific fit, which may require trying different sizes to find the perfect match, as is common with performance footwear.

FAQs
What type of runner is the Brooks Glycerin 23 best for?
The Glycerin 23 is ideal for neutral runners who prioritize soft cushioning and comfort, especially for daily training, long runs, and recovery runs.
How does the DNA LOFT v3 cushioning differ from previous versions?
DNA LOFT v3 is an updated cushioning technology that provides an even softer and more responsive feel than previous versions, while remaining lightweight.
Can I use these for trail running?
These trainers are primarily designed for road running. The outsole pattern is optimized for pavement and may not provide sufficient grip or protection on rugged trail surfaces.
How should I clean my Glycerin 23 trainers?
Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Remove insoles and air dry them separately. Avoid machine washing or using high heat to dry.
What is the expected lifespan of the Brooks Glycerin 23?
With proper care and typical use, most runners can expect to get between 300-500 miles (480-800 km) out of the Glycerin 23 before the cushioning and support significantly diminish.
Are these shoes good for marathon racing?
While they offer excellent comfort for long distances, they are generally considered more of a daily trainer or recovery shoe. For racing, some runners might prefer a lighter, more responsive racing shoe.
What is the main difference between the Glycerin and Ghost series?
The Glycerin series (like the 23) offers a plusher, softer, and more cushioned ride, while the Ghost series typically provides a more balanced cushioning feel that is slightly firmer.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure you have the correct size and width. Try different lacing techniques to adjust the fit around the foot. Consider using specialized running socks.
Reduced cushioning feel
Over time, cushioning can naturally compress. Ensure the shoes are not excessively worn. Check for any debris trapped in the outsole grooves.
Upper feels too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing to your preference. The engineered mesh is designed to adapt, but lacing can significantly alter the feel. Ensure the heel counter is locked down properly.
Poor grip on wet surfaces
The outsole is designed for durability and road grip. On very wet or slick surfaces, grip may be reduced. Exercise caution in such conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Brooks Glycerin 23 arrives ready to wear. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal performance and comfort. It's recommended to wear them for short distances initially to break them in.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult male runners and are compatible with most running socks. They are optimized for road running surfaces.
Care: To clean your Brooks Glycerin 23 trainers, use a damp cloth with mild soap to remove dirt from the upper and midsole. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the materials and cushioning. Allow the shoes to air dry completely away from direct heat sources. It is advisable to remove the insoles and clean them separately if needed. Ensure the shoes are dry before wearing them again to prevent odor and material breakdown.
