Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Glycerin 23 is designed for adult runners who prioritize maximum comfort and fluid transitions during high-mileage road runs and daily training sessions. These trainers excel at delivering a smooth, balanced experience through advanced midsole cushioning, though runners seeking a minimalist or racing-specific feel may find the plush design too substantial.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?
The Glycerin 23 provides a neutral platform that offers substantial support, but runners with severe overpronation may prefer a dedicated stability shoe.
Can I use these for track workouts?
While you can use them for light jogging, they are primarily engineered for road running and are heavier than dedicated track or racing spikes.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style and surface conditions.
Are these waterproof?
No, they feature a breathable mesh upper designed to promote airflow, meaning they are not waterproof and will absorb water in heavy rain.
Do these run true to size?
The Glycerin series typically runs true to standard athletic shoe sizing. If you wear thick socks, some users prefer to go up a half size.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of heel slippage
Use the extra eyelet at the top of the lacing system to create a runner's loop for a more secure fit.
Upper material showing early wear
Ensure your toenails are trimmed to prevent internal rubbing and ensure the shoe is the correct width for your foot shape.
Cushioning feels stiff initially
The DNA Loft v3 foam often requires a short break-in period of 20-30 miles to fully adapt to your gait and foot strike pattern.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your Brooks Glycerin 23, perform a proper lacing adjustment to lock your heel in place without constricting circulation. These shoes are compatible with standard and custom orthotics if you require specific arch support. For maintenance, never machine wash or dry your trainers, as this can degrade the foam and adhesive. Instead, clean the outsole with a soft brush to remove debris and wipe the mesh upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, keeping them away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can deform the midsole materials.
