Product Information

Full details

The Brooks Glycerin GTS 23 trainers are designed for adult male runners seeking supreme softness and structured support for everyday road running. Their key benefit lies in providing a highly cushioned and stable ride, ideal for long distances. A potential consideration is that the GTS model offers structured support, which may not be preferred by runners who exclusively need a neutral shoe. This guide covers their features, real-world application, setup, and care.

FAQs

What is the main difference between Glycerin GTS 23 and Glycerin 23?

The 'GTS' in Glycerin GTS 23 stands for 'Go-To Support'. This means the GTS version includes Brooks' GuideRails® technology for added support, while the regular Glycerin 23 is a neutral shoe designed for runners who don't need extra stability.

Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?

Yes, the high cushioning and supportive features of the Glycerin GTS 23 make them an excellent choice for marathon training and racing, especially for runners who benefit from structured support.

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Refer to a standard UK shoe sizing chart. It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the brand's sizing guide, as fit can vary slightly between models and brands.

Can I use these for walking?

While designed for running, the significant cushioning and comfort of the Glycerin GTS 23 also make them suitable for walking and everyday wear.

What is the heel-to-toe drop on this shoe?

The Brooks Glycerin GTS 23 has an 8mm heel-to-toe drop.

How often should I replace my Glycerin GTS 23 trainers?

Most running shoes, including the Glycerin GTS 23, are recommended to be replaced every 300-500 miles (480-800 kilometers) or when you notice a significant decrease in cushioning or support.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or cause pressure points.

Adjust the lacing. Try a different lacing pattern or loosen the laces around the pressure area. Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks.

Reduced cushioning or support over time.

The cushioning may have naturally compressed after significant mileage. Consider replacing the shoes if they have exceeded their expected lifespan (typically 300-500 miles).

Sole feels slippery on wet surfaces.

The rubber sole offers good traction on dry roads, but may be less effective on very wet or smooth surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional cushioning for maximum comfort on long runs.
  • Integrated GuideRails offer reliable support for mild overpronation.
  • Breathable mesh upper keeps feet cool and dry.
  • Durable rubber outsole provides good traction.
  • Secure and comfortable fit due to lacing system and heel counter.

Cons

  • May be too structured for runners who prefer a purely neutral shoe.
  • The emphasis on softness might feel less responsive for speed-focused training.
  • Specific colorways and sizes may have limited availability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Brooks Glycerin GTS 23 requires no specific setup. Simply try them on and lace them up for an immediate comfortable fit. Ensure the laces are adjusted to provide a snug yet comfortable feel around your midfoot, without causing pressure points.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for road running and general fitness activities. They are compatible with most running socks and apparel. They are not intended for trail running or intense court sports due to their specific sole design.

Care: To maintain your Brooks Glycerin GTS 23:

  1. Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cool water with a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the materials.
  2. Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and retain their shape during drying.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
