FAQs
What is the main benefit of the Brooks Glycerin 23?
The main benefit is the ultra-soft comfort provided by the updated DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, making it ideal for long runs and recovery days.
Is this shoe suitable for marathon running?
Yes, the high level of cushioning and comfort makes the Glycerin 23 an excellent choice for marathon training and racing.
Can I use these for trail running?
These trainers are primarily designed for road running. While they offer some grip, they are not optimized for the varied terrain and conditions found on trails.
How often should I replace my Glycerin 23 trainers?
It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300-500 miles, or when you notice a significant loss of cushioning or support.
What type of runner is this shoe best for?
The Glycerin 23 is best for neutral runners who prioritize maximum softness and comfort, especially for daily training, long runs, and recovery runs.
How do I clean the mesh upper?
Use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution to gently wipe down the mesh. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals.
Does the shoe offer good ventilation?
Yes, the renewed engineered mesh upper is designed for a secure and ventilated fit, promoting airflow to keep your feet cool.
Troubleshooting
Slightly tight fit on first wear
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the engineered mesh upper to break in and mold to your foot shape. Ensure laces are not over-tightened.
Feet feeling too warm
Ensure socks are made of moisture-wicking material. The engineered mesh is breathable, but thick socks can sometimes impede airflow.
Reduced cushioning after extensive use
While the DNA LOFT v3 is durable, cushioning does naturally break down over time. Consider replacing the shoes after approximately 300-500 miles of running, or when you notice a significant decrease in comfort and support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have the correct UK size for a proper fit. Adjust lacing as needed for personalized comfort and support.
Compatibility: The Brooks Glycerin 23 is designed as a road running shoe. It is compatible with most standard running insoles if additional arch support is required.
Care:
- Cleaning: Gently clean the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners. Remove insoles and laces for separate cleaning.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
