FAQs

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

The Glycerin 23 is ideal for neutral runners seeking maximum cushioning and comfort, particularly for long runs, daily training, and recovery runs. It is designed to be soft and forgiving on the joints.

How does the DNA LOFT v3 cushioning differ from previous versions?

The DNA LOFT v3 is nitrogen-infused, providing a lighter, softer, and more responsive feel compared to previous DNA LOFT versions. It utilizes dual-size cell technology for optimized plushness and energy return.

Is the upper material breathable?

Yes, the Triple Jacquard Warp Knit Upper is engineered for high breathability, allowing cool air to circulate and help manage temperature, keeping your feet comfortable.

Can I use these shoes for racing?

While they offer excellent comfort, the Glycerin 23 is primarily designed for training and comfort over speed. For faster races, you might consider a lighter, more responsive racing shoe. However, they can be suitable for longer races where comfort is paramount.

How do I clean my Glycerin 23 trainers?

Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water. Always air dry away from direct heat.

What is the weight of the Brooks Glycerin 23?

The Brooks Glycerin 23 weighs approximately 297g for a men's size 9.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Adjust the traditional lacing system to provide a more personalized fit. Ensure you have the correct size; if still uncomfortable, consider a half-size larger or a wider fit if available.

Reduced cushioning or responsiveness.

The cushioning is designed for softness. If you prefer more responsiveness, this shoe may not be the best fit for speed-focused running. Ensure the shoes are not excessively worn out, as cushioning can degrade over time.

Slipping on wet surfaces.

While the outsole is durable and provides good traction, extreme wet conditions can reduce grip. Exercise caution on very slick surfaces. Ensure the outsole is free of debris.

Upper feels too loose or not secure.

Tighten the lacing system, focusing on the midfoot to lock it down. The engineered mesh is designed to be accommodating; ensure the laces are adequately secured to achieve the desired fit.
