FAQs

Who are the Brooks Glycerin GTS 23 trainers best suited for?

These trainers are ideal for adult female runners who need reliable stability and plush cushioning, particularly for daily runs, long-distance running, and recovery runs.

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

The 'GTS' in Glycerin GTS stands for 'Go-To Support'. These models feature Brooks' GuideRails technology for added stability, whereas the standard Glycerin offers neutral cushioning.

How do I know if the engineered mesh upper will fit me well?

The engineered mesh is designed to be breathable and secure. If you have a wider foot, you may find the fit snug. It's recommended to try them on with your usual running socks to assess the comfort and fit.

What is the expected lifespan of these trainers?

The Brooks Glycerin GTS 23 trainers are generally expected to last between 300 to 500 miles, depending on running surface, individual biomechanics, and shoe care.

Can I wear these trainers for gym workouts?

While they offer good cushioning, their primary design is for running. For gym workouts, especially those involving lateral movements or heavy lifting, a shoe with more lateral stability might be more appropriate.

Are these shoes suitable for trail running?

No, the Glycerin GTS 23 is designed for road running. Trail running requires shoes with more aggressive tread and protection for uneven terrain.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort or rubbing during runs

Ensure you have the correct size and width. Try wearing them with different types of running socks. Break them in gradually with shorter runs before attempting long distances.

Reduced cushioning feel over time

While cushioning is designed for durability, its responsiveness may decrease after extensive mileage (typically 300-500 miles). Consider replacing the shoes after this period for optimal performance and injury prevention.

Traction issues on wet surfaces

The outsole is designed for general road use. For significantly wet or slippery conditions, exercise caution. Ensure the outsole is free from debris that might impede grip.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional cushioning for impact absorption.
  • Effective GuideRails system for enhanced stability.
  • Breathable and comfortable upper for long runs.
  • Smooth transition from heel to toe.
  • Durable construction for extended use.

Cons

  • May feel slightly less responsive for faster-paced runs.
  • The snug fit of the upper might not suit wider feet.
  • Price point may be higher than some basic trainer options.
  • Colorways might be limited depending on availability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Brooks Glycerin GTS 23 arrives ready to wear. No specific setup is required beyond ensuring the correct fit. Always try on shoes with the socks you typically run in.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for road running and general fitness activities. They are compatible with most standard athletic socks. For optimal performance, ensure you have the correct size, which is crucial for both comfort and support.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, hand wash with mild soap and cold water. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents.
  2. Drying: Allow 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.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
