FAQs

Is the Brooks Glycerin 23 a stability shoe?

No, the Glycerin 23 is a neutral running shoe. If you require extra arch support or pronation control, consider the Glycerin GTS 23 model.

Can I use these for gym workouts?

While they are excellent for treadmill running and cardio, the high stack height makes them less ideal for heavy lifting or lateral-movement activities where a flat, stable base is needed.

How often should I replace these trainers?

Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface, gait, and body weight.

Are these true to size?

The Glycerin series typically runs true to standard athletic shoe sizing. If you have particularly wide feet, you may want to check if a wide-fit option is available in your region.

What does the 'DNA' in DNA Tuned stand for?

DNA is Brooks' proprietary cushioning technology that adapts to your unique stride, weight, and speed to provide customized comfort.

Troubleshooting

Feeling pressure on the top of the foot

Adjust the lacing technique, such as using a runner's loop or skipping the eyelet over the pressure point.

Outsole wearing down prematurely

Ensure you are rotating the shoes with another pair to allow the midsole foam to recover and prevent uneven tread wear.

Heel slippage during runs

Use the extra eyelet at the top of the shoe to create a 'heel lock' lacing pattern for a tighter fit around the ankle.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-level impact protection ideal for long runs
  • Plush, comfortable interior fit
  • Smooth ride transition for neutral runners
  • Lightweight feel despite high cushioning

Cons

  • Plush cushioning may feel too soft for those preferring high ground feedback
  • Not intended for speed-focused interval training
  • White colorway may require frequent cleaning to maintain appearance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longest lifespan for your Glycerin 23 trainers, follow these guidelines:

  1. Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, wear them for shorter walks or easy runs for the first few sessions to allow the upper to adapt to your foot shape.
  2. Surface Usage: These are primarily road trainers. Avoid deep mud or technical trails as the outsole is designed for flat, predictable surfaces.
  3. Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. Hand wash with mild soap and cold water only. Never put running shoes in a washing machine or dryer, as high heat can degrade the DNA Tuned cushioning material.
  4. Storage: Air dry in a cool, shaded area away from direct sunlight or radiators.
