Product Information

Full details

The Brooks Glycerin GTS 23 Trainers are designed for adult female runners seeking plush cushioning combined with built-in stability for daily runs and long distances. Its key benefit lies in the GuideRails™ technology, which helps manage excess movement and promote smoother strides, while the nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 cushioning absorbs impact. A potential consideration is that the specific support system might feel unnecessary for runners with naturally stable gaits.

FAQs

What is the main difference between Glycerin GTS and Glycerin neutral models?

The 'GTS' stands for 'Go-To Support.' The Glycerin GTS 23 includes GuideRails™ technology for added stability, while the neutral Glycerin model focuses purely on plush cushioning without the integrated support system.

How do I know if I need the GTS version?

The GTS version is beneficial for runners whose feet and knees tend to roll inward excessively (overpronation) or those who simply prefer a bit of guidance to maintain alignment during their runs.

What is the expected lifespan of the Glycerin GTS 23 trainers?

Typically, running shoes like the Glycerin GTS 23 last between 300 to 500 miles. This can vary based on your weight, running form, the surfaces you run on, and how you care for the shoes.

Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?

Yes, the Glycerin GTS 23 offers the cushioning and support needed for long-distance training, including marathon preparation. They provide comfort and reduce impact over extended mileage.

Can I use these shoes for gym workouts?

While they offer comfort, their design is optimized for forward motion in running. For gym workouts, especially those involving lateral movements or heavy lifting, dedicated cross-training shoes might be more appropriate.

How does DNA LOFT v3 compare to previous cushioning technologies?

DNA LOFT v3 is an evolution of Brooks' cushioning technology, utilizing nitrogen infusion to create a midsole that is exceptionally soft, lighter, and more responsive than previous versions, offering improved durability and consistent performance.

What kind of socks are best with these trainers?

Moisture-wicking synthetic or wool blend running socks are recommended to complement the breathable upper and help manage moisture, enhancing overall comfort during your runs.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing them with your usual running socks. The engineered mesh may require a few runs to mold to your foot shape.

Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time

Midsole cushioning naturally breaks down with mileage. Consider replacing the shoes after approximately 300-500 miles of use, depending on your running style and the surfaces you run on.

Support feels intrusive

The GuideRails™ are designed for runners who need assistance with overpronation. If you have a very neutral gait, the support might feel less beneficial. Break-in period may help, or this model may not be the best fit for your specific biomechanics.

Upper material is dirty

Gently clean the engineered mesh with a soft brush and cool water. For tougher spots, use a small amount of mild soap. Always air dry.

  • GuideRails™ provide effective support for runners needing help with alignment.

  • Breathable upper ensures good ventilation during runs.
  • Smooth transitions contribute to an efficient stride.

Cons

  • The support system may be perceived as unnecessary by neutral runners.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These trainers are ready to wear out of the box. No special setup is required beyond ensuring you have the correct size.

Compatibility:

The Brooks Glycerin GTS 23 is designed for road running and general fitness activities. They are compatible with most running surfaces, including pavement, treadmills, and light trails.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth with cool water and mild soap to clean the exterior. Avoid harsh detergents. Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
  • Insoles: If removable, clean insoles separately following similar mild soap and water instructions. Ensure they are completely dry before reinserting.
  • Laundering: Do not machine wash or machine dry the shoes, as this can damage the materials and construction.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
