Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Glycerin 23 Trainers are designed for adult female runners seeking exceptional comfort and support, especially for training and long runs. Their key benefit lies in the updated DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, providing an extra-soft feel underfoot. A potential caveat is that the focus on softness might be less ideal for runners who prefer a firmer, more responsive ride.

FAQs
Are the Brooks Glycerin 23 suitable for marathon running?
Yes, the Glycerin 23 is an excellent choice for marathon running due to its superior cushioning and comfort, which helps reduce fatigue over long distances.
What type of runner is the Glycerin 23 best for?
The Glycerin 23 is best for neutral runners who prioritize a soft, plush feel and need ample cushioning 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 version designed to be softer and lighter than previous DNA LOFT formulations, offering an even more comfortable and cushioned ride.
Can I wear these shoes for speedwork or racing?
While comfortable, the Glycerin 23 is primarily designed for comfort and cushioning rather than speed. For faster workouts or races, you might consider a lighter, more responsive shoe from Brooks.
How do I know if I have a neutral gait?
A neutral gait typically means your foot rolls inward slightly to absorb shock. If you're unsure, a running store can often analyze your gait.
What is the warranty period for Brooks shoes?
Brooks typically offers a manufacturer's warranty against defects. Specific warranty details may vary by region and retailer; it's best to check with your point of purchase.
Do these trainers offer good arch support?
The Glycerin 23 provides support through its cushioning and structure, suitable for neutral runners. If you require specific motion control or enhanced arch support for overpronation, you might need to consider a different model.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or restrictive.
Loosen the laces and re-lace them, ensuring an even distribution of tension. If the issue persists, consider if the size is correct or if the engineered mesh upper needs a few runs to break in.
Feet feel hot or sweaty during runs.
Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly, which can restrict airflow. The engineered mesh is designed for ventilation, but very warm conditions or intense effort may still lead to sweating. Ensure socks are also moisture-wicking.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness after many miles.
The DNA LOFT v3 cushioning is designed for longevity, but like all shoe materials, it will eventually compress. If you notice a significant loss in comfort, it may be time to consider replacing the trainers, typically after 300-500 miles.

Care:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. If needed, use a mild soap and cool water with a soft cloth to clean the upper and midsole. Avoid harsh detergents or soaking the shoes.
