Product Information

Full details

The Brooks Glycerin GTS 23 Trainers are designed for adult runners seeking consistent stability and plush cushioning, especially for daily runs and long distances. Their key benefit is the integrated GuideRails support system that works with your body to provide a secure, comfortable stride. A potential caveat is that the GTS model is specifically built for those who need pronation support, which may not be ideal for neutral runners.

FAQs

Who is the Brooks Glycerin GTS 23 designed for?

These trainers are ideal for adult runners who need stability to manage overpronation, particularly those who run daily or tackle long distances and require maximum cushioning and support.

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

The 'GTS' in Glycerin GTS stands for 'Go-To Support.' These models include Brooks' GuideRails technology for added stability, while the regular Glycerin models are designed for neutral runners seeking only cushioning.

How do I clean my Glycerin GTS 23 trainers?

Clean them with a soft brush or damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or drying. Air dry them thoroughly away from direct heat.

Are these shoes good for marathon running?

Yes, the enhanced DNA LOFT v3 cushioning and GuideRails support make them an excellent choice for marathon training and racing, providing comfort and stability over extended distances.

How long should the cushioning last?

The longevity of cushioning depends on factors like mileage, runner's weight, and running surface. However, Brooks shoes are known for their durability, and the DNA LOFT v3 is designed to maintain its properties for a significant number of miles, typically between 300-500 miles.

What if I have a neutral gait? Should I choose this shoe?

If you have a neutral gait and do not require pronation support, the regular Brooks Glycerin (non-GTS) might be a better fit, as it focuses purely on cushioning without the added stability features.

Can I wear these for gym workouts or cross-training?

While they offer comfort and cushioning, their design is optimized for running. For specific gym activities or cross-training, shoes designed for lateral stability and multi-directional movement might be more appropriate.

Troubleshooting

Unusual noise during stride (squeaking)

This can sometimes occur with new shoes as cushioning components settle. Try wearing them for a few more runs. Ensure no debris is trapped in the outsole treads.

Lack of perceived support

Verify that the shoe size is correct and that the laces are tied appropriately. Remember, the GuideRails provide a 'holistic' support that works *with* your natural gait, rather than a rigid correction. If you are a neutral runner, this model might feel like it has too much support.

Feet feeling too warm

While the mesh is breathable, extreme conditions or heavy sweating can still lead to warmth. Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks. If persistent, consider lighter-weight shoes for warmer weather if needed.

Premature wear on the outsole

Ensure you are using the shoes primarily on roads or treadmills, as abrasive surfaces can accelerate wear. Check for any specific areas of abnormal wear that might indicate a gait issue.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent cushioning for long-distance comfort.
  • Effective GuideRails support for overpronation.
  • Breathable upper keeps feet cool.
  • Smooth and consistent ride.
  • Durable construction for extended use.

Cons

  • May offer too much support for neutral runners.
  • Fit can feel snug, consider sizing up if between sizes.
  • Higher price point compared to basic trainers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Brooks Glycerin GTS 23 comes ready to wear right out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and support. It's recommended to wear them for a short walk or jog initially to get accustomed to the feel before embarking on longer runs.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for road running and general training. They are best suited for individuals who benefit from stability features to manage overpronation. They are not specifically designed for trail running or technical terrain due to their smooth outsole pattern.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove loose dirt and mud. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cold water. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Always air dry your trainers. Never place them in a washing machine or dryer, as this can damage the materials and affect the shoe's structure. Stuffing them with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat sources when not in use.
