Product Information

Full details

The Brooks Glycerin 23 trainers are designed for adult male runners seeking premium cushioning and comfort for training and long runs. Their key benefit is the plush, nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 cushioning for exceptionally soft landings and energetic toe-offs. A potential caveat is the focus on maximum softness, which might not suit runners preferring a firmer, more responsive feel.

FAQs

What type of runner is the Brooks Glycerin 23 best suited for?

The Glycerin 23 is ideal for neutral runners who prioritize maximum cushioning and comfort, especially for training runs, long distances, and recovery runs. It's also a good option for heavier runners seeking enhanced joint protection.

How does the DNA LOFT v3 cushioning differ from previous versions?

DNA LOFT v3 is an updated, nitrogen-infused cushioning that provides an even softer feel, maximizing plushness for landings and providing energizing toe-offs, while maintaining durability.

Can I use the Brooks Glycerin 23 for racing?

While the shoe offers comfort and a degree of responsiveness, its primary design is for high-cushion training. For faster race-day performance, runners might prefer lighter, more responsive shoes in the Brooks lineup. However, it can be used for longer, slower-paced races where comfort is key.

What is the drop of the Brooks Glycerin 23?

The shoe has a heel-to-toe drop of 8mm.

How do I clean my Glycerin 23 trainers?

Gently brush off loose dirt, then use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Always air dry and avoid machine washing or high heat.

Is the fit accommodating for wider feet?

The engineered mesh upper offers an accommodating fit. While not explicitly a wide shoe, many users find the material flexible and comfortable.

What is the weight of the Brooks Glycerin 23?

The weight is approximately 297g for a UK size 6.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Adjust the traditional lacing system. Ensure you have selected the correct shoe size. Consider using different lacing techniques for a more personalized fit.

Reduced cushioning feel over time

While the DNA LOFT v3 is durable, cushioning does naturally decrease with extensive use. Log your mileage to track wear. If cushioning has significantly degraded, it may be time for a replacement.

Slipping on wet surfaces

The durable rubber outsole provides good traction, but like all running shoes, grip can be reduced on very wet or slick surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.

Upper feels warm

The Triple Jacquard Warp Knit Upper is designed for breathability. If you experience excessive warmth, ensure socks are also breathable and consider if the shoe's fit is too snug.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional cushioning for superior comfort on long runs.
  • Highly breathable upper keeps feet cool and dry.
  • Smooth transitions from heel to toe enhance running efficiency.
  • Durable outsole provides reliable grip and longevity.
  • Comfortable fit with padded elements to prevent irritation.

Cons

  • May feel too soft for runners who prefer a very firm and responsive ride.
  • The focus on plushness might slightly reduce ground feel.
  • Weight of 297g (for UK 6) is moderate and might not appeal to minimalists.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt with a dry brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
