FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the DNA LOFT v3 cushioning?
The DNA LOFT v3 cushioning provides an exceptionally soft and comfortable feel underfoot, offering superior shock absorption for reduced impact during runs.
Are these shoes suitable for all types of runners?
They are ideal for runners seeking maximum cushioning and comfort, especially for daily training and long distances. Runners who prefer a very firm or highly responsive shoe might find other models better suited.
How should I clean my Brooks Glycerin 23 Trainers?
Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or drying, and allow them to air dry away from direct heat.
What is the main difference compared to previous Glycerin models?
The Glycerin 23 features the updated DNA LOFT v3 cushioning for enhanced softness and a renewed engineered mesh upper for an improved secure and ventilated fit.
Can I use these for walking or cross-training?
While primarily designed for running, their comfort and cushioning make them suitable for walking. For dedicated cross-training involving lateral movements, specialized shoes are generally recommended.
How durable is the outsole?
The outsole has been improved for greater durability, designed to withstand a significant number of miles for regular training and running.
Do these trainers come in other colors and sizes?
Yes, the Brooks Glycerin 23 series is available in a variety of colors and sizes for both men and women. This guide focuses on the Orange, UK 6 variant.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have the correct size. Try lacing them looser or using alternative lacing techniques. Break them in gradually over a few runs.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
Cushioning materials can compress with extensive use. While the DNA LOFT v3 is durable, consider replacement if the impact absorption feels significantly diminished after hundreds of miles.
Upper feels less supportive than expected
Verify the lacing is secure and even. The engineered mesh is designed to be adaptive; ensure it's not overly stretched.
Discomfort during long runs
Check if the shoe size is appropriate, considering foot swelling during long distances. Ensure socks are moisture-wicking and seamless. Break in the shoes thoroughly before very long runs.
