FAQs
Are the Brooks Glycerin GTS 23 suitable for neutral runners?
The 'GTS' in Glycerin GTS 23 stands for 'Go-To Support,' indicating they feature GuideRails technology to help manage overpronation. While neutral runners can wear them, they might find the added support unnecessary. If you have a truly neutral gait, the standard Brooks Glycerin 23 (without GTS) might be a better fit.
How do I know if the GuideRails support is right for me?
The GuideRails system helps keep your stride in its natural path. If you find your knees or feet moving excessively inward or outward when you run, you may benefit from this type of support. Consulting a running specialist or analyzing your gait can help determine if stability features are appropriate for you.
What is the main difference between the Glycerin and Glycerin GTS series?
The primary difference lies in the support system. The standard Glycerin offers maximum softness and neutral cushioning, while the Glycerin GTS includes GuideRails to provide holistic support for those who need it.
Can these shoes be used for activities other than running?
While optimized for running, the plush cushioning and comfort make them suitable for walking, gym workouts, or standing for long periods. However, they are not specifically designed for high-impact lateral movements found in sports like tennis or basketball.
How does the DNA LOFT v3 cushioning compare to previous versions?
DNA LOFT v3 is nitrogen-infused, making it softer, lighter, and more durable than previous DNA LOFT formulations. It provides a consistent, luxurious feel that doesn't sacrifice responsiveness.
What is the expected lifespan of the Brooks Glycerin GTS 23 trainers?
The lifespan of running shoes varies based on usage, mileage, and surface. Typically, running shoes like the Glycerin GTS 23 are expected to last between 300-500 miles (approximately 480-800 kilometers) before their cushioning and support significantly degrade.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure laces are properly adjusted. If still too tight, consider a half-size larger or try a different lacing technique.
Lack of support
Confirm the GuideRails system is suitable for your gait. These shoes are designed for stability; neutral runners might prefer a non-GTS model.
Squeaking noise
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try wearing them for a few more runs. If persistent, check for debris in the outsole or contact customer support.
Cushioning feels too soft
The DNA LOFT v3 is designed for maximum softness. If a firmer feel is preferred, these might not be the ideal choice. Consider models focused on responsiveness.
