Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Glycerin 23 trainers are designed for adult male runners seeking maximum comfort and a smooth ride on road surfaces, particularly for training and long runs. Their key benefit is the updated DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, offering an exceptionally soft feel. A potential caveat for some users might be the neutral shoe type, which may not suit those requiring pronation support. Key features include advanced cushioning, a secure and breathable mesh upper, smooth transitions, and improved outsole durability.

FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the Glycerin 23?
The primary benefit is the exceptionally soft and responsive ride provided by the updated DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, offering superior comfort for long runs and daily training.
Who is the Brooks Glycerin 23 designed for?
These trainers are designed for adult male runners with a neutral foot strike who prioritize maximum cushioning and comfort, especially for road running, training, and long distances.
What does 'neutral shoe type' mean?
A neutral shoe type is designed for runners whose feet land on the outside of the heel and then roll inward slightly to absorb shock. It does not include features to correct excessive inward or outward rolling (pronation or supination).
How do I clean my Glycerin 23 trainers?
Clean them using a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cool water. Avoid machine washing and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
What is the recommended lifespan for these trainers?
Like most running shoes, the Glycerin 23 is typically recommended for replacement after 300-500 miles (480-800 km) of use, depending on running style and surface.
Can I use these for trail running?
The Glycerin 23 is optimized for road surfaces. While they might handle very light, packed gravel, they are not designed for technical trails and may lack the necessary grip and protection.
What is the weight and drop of the Glycerin 23?
The weight is approximately 300.5g, and the heel-to-toe drop is 8mm.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or constrictive.
Loosen the laces and re-tie them with a focus on even pressure distribution. Ensure you have the correct size; consider using a different lacing pattern to customize the fit.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time.
Cushioning naturally breaks down with mileage. Ensure you are using the shoes as intended (road running) and consider replacement after approximately 300-500 miles of use.
Slipping on wet surfaces.
The outsole is designed for durability on dry or damp roads. For significantly wet or slippery conditions, exercise caution. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris.
Discomfort during long runs.
Ensure the shoes fit correctly and that your socks are appropriate. If discomfort persists, it may indicate the shoe's neutral design isn't sufficient for your gait, or they may be nearing the end of their lifespan.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These trainers require no special setup. Simply lace them up and go. Ensure they fit snugly but comfortably, with enough room in the toe box.
Compatibility:
- Surface: Best suited for road, pavement, and other hard, even surfaces.
- Pronation: Designed for neutral runners. If you overpronate or supinate, consider consulting a running specialist for advice on appropriate footwear.
- Use: Ideal for road running, daily training, and long-distance efforts.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove dirt. For deeper cleaning, use mild soap and cool water. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials and cushioning.
- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can degrade the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in damp conditions or direct sunlight for extended periods.
