Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Glycerin 23 is a premium trainer designed for adult male runners who prioritize plush cushioning and stability during their daily jogs or long-distance training sessions. By utilizing nitrogen-infused DNA TUNED cushioning, these shoes offer a unique blend of soft landings and responsive energy return that helps maintain comfort over many miles, though the high-cushion platform may feel slightly bulkier to runners who prefer a minimalist or ground-feel experience.

FAQs
Is the Brooks Glycerin 23 suitable for flat feet?
Yes, the wide platform and supportive construction make it a popular choice for runners needing a stable ride, though individual needs may vary.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
No, the engineered upper is designed for maximum breathability and will allow water to pass through if you step in a puddle.
How often should I replace my Glycerin 23s?
Typically, these trainers perform best for 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and body weight.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While they are excellent for treadmill runs, the plush cushioning makes them less ideal for heavy weightlifting where a firm, flat base is preferred.
Are they true to size?
The Brooks Glycerin series generally fits true to size, though many runners prefer a half-size larger than their casual shoe to account for foot swelling during long runs.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure on the top of the foot
Try a different lacing technique, such as the window lacing method, to relieve pressure on the sensitive tendons of the midfoot.
Heel slippage while running
Use the extra top eyelet on the trainer to create a runner's loop, which secures the heel more firmly against the back of the shoe.
Foam appearing compressed after heavy use
Rotate your trainers with a second pair to allow the nitrogen-infused foam 24 to 48 hours to decompress and return to its original shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your Glycerin 23 trainers, start by properly adjusting the lacing to secure the midfoot without restricting blood flow. The shoes are compatible with standard orthotic insoles if you require additional arch support. For care, keep the shoes away from extreme heat sources like radiators or dryers, as this can degrade the nitrogen-infused foam. If they get wet or dirty, remove the insoles, stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture, and let them air dry in a well-ventilated space. Avoid submerging the shoes in a washing machine, as this can compromise the adhesives and structural integrity of the upper.
