FAQs

What type of runner is the Brooks Glycerin 23 best suited for?

The Glycerin 23 is ideal for neutral runners seeking maximum cushioning and comfort, especially for daily training, long runs, and recovery efforts.

What is the primary difference in cushioning compared to previous Glycerin models?

The Glycerin 23 features an updated DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, which is nitrogen-infused for enhanced softness and responsiveness, offering a plusher feel than previous versions.

How breathable is the upper of the Glycerin 23?

The upper is constructed with a Triple Jacquard Warp Knit, designed to allow cool air to circulate and remove warm air, providing high levels of breathability.

What is the heel-to-toe drop of the Glycerin 23?

The heel-to-toe drop is 8mm.

Can I use the Glycerin 23 for speedwork or racing?

While the DNA LOFT v3 provides a good toe-off, the primary focus of the Glycerin 23 is plush comfort. For faster workouts or races, runners might prefer a lighter, more responsive shoe.

How do I clean my Brooks Glycerin 23 trainers?

Clean with a soft brush, mild soap, and cool water using a damp cloth. Allow to air dry naturally and avoid machine washing or drying.

What is the warranty period for Brooks shoes?

Brooks typically offers a limited warranty against manufacturing defects. Please refer to the official Brooks website or your point of purchase for specific warranty details and duration.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have the correct size. Try loosening the laces and re-lacing them, focusing on a secure but not overly tight midfoot. The upper may also require a short break-in period.

Reduced cushioning or responsiveness.

Check for debris or damage to the midsole. If the shoes have high mileage, the cushioning may have naturally compressed. Ensure the laces are tied properly to utilize the full midsole benefits.

Slipping on wet surfaces.

While the outsole is designed for grip, wet surfaces can reduce traction. Ensure the outsole is clean. For extremely slick conditions, consider reducing speed or using shoes with a more aggressive tread pattern.

Upper feels abrasive or causes irritation.

Ensure socks are worn appropriately. Check for any internal stitching issues. The padded collar and tongue are designed for comfort, but a break-in period might be needed for the knit upper to adapt.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional cushioning for superior comfort on long runs.
  • Breathable upper keeps feet cool and comfortable.
  • Smooth and stable ride with effective shock absorption.
  • Durable outsole provides reliable traction and longevity.
  • Accommodating fit with features designed to reduce irritation.

Cons

  • Weight of 297g may be heavier than some minimalist running shoes.
  • While versatile, may not be the optimal choice for very fast-paced racing.
  • The premium cushioning might require a short break-in period for some users.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Brooks Glycerin 23 requires no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size for a proper fit.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for running on roads and other paved surfaces. They are suitable for neutral pronation.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Remove excess dirt with a soft brush. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and cool water with a damp cloth or sponge. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Laundering: Do not machine wash or machine dry the shoes, as this can compromise their structure and cushioning.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
