Product Information

Full details

The Brooks Glycerin GTS 23 trainers are designed for adult male runners seeking maximum comfort and support on their daily runs and long distances. The key benefit is the nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 cushioning combined with the GuideRails support system, providing a soft, energised, and stable ride. A potential caveat is that the support system might feel too pronounced for runners who do not require overpronation correction.

FAQs

What is the main difference between Glycerin and Glycerin GTS?

The 'GTS' stands for 'Go-To Support.' The Glycerin GTS 23 includes the GuideRails support system to help manage excess movement, while the standard Glycerin model is designed for neutral runners without this integrated support.

Are these shoes good for marathon training?

Yes, the extensive cushioning and supportive features make the Glycerin GTS 23 an excellent choice for marathon training, particularly for long runs and recovery days.

How do I know if I need the GTS version?

If you have a history of knee pain, IT band issues, or if a gait analysis indicates you overpronate (your foot rolls inward excessively), the GTS version with GuideRails may be beneficial. If you have a neutral stride, the standard Glycerin might be more appropriate.

Can I wear these for walking?

While designed for running, the significant cushioning and comfort also make them suitable for walking, especially for extended periods.

How durable is the outsole?

The durable rubber outsole is designed for road running and provides good traction and wear resistance for typical mileage.

What is the weight of the Brooks Glycerin GTS 23?

The weight can vary slightly by size, but they are generally considered a moderately cushioned and supportive shoe rather than a lightweight racing flat.

How often should I replace my Glycerin GTS 23 trainers?

Most runners find they need to replace their trainers every 300-500 miles (approximately 500-800 kilometers), depending on running surface, body weight, and running form.

Troubleshooting

Slightly stiff upon first wear

The cushioning and materials may need a short break-in period. Wear them for a few shorter runs to allow them to mold to your feet.

Reduced cushioning feel over time

Cushioning naturally degrades with mileage. If the shoes have significantly exceeded 300-500 miles, consider replacement. Ensure no debris is blocking the outsole tread.

Discomfort in the arch area

This may indicate the GuideRails support is not suited to your biomechanics. Consult with a running specialist or consider a neutral shoe model if you don't require pronation support.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional cushioning for superior comfort on long runs.
  • GuideRails provide effective support for runners needing stability.
  • Breathable upper keeps feet cool.
  • Smooth transitions from heel to toe.
  • Durable construction for long-lasting wear.

Cons

  • Support system may be unnecessary for neutral runners.
  • Can feel slightly heavier than minimalist trainers.
  • Price point may be higher than entry-level options.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

The Brooks Glycerin GTS 23 trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. They are compatible with standard running sock types.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Spot clean with mild soap and cold water. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the materials and cushioning.
  • Drying: Air dry away from direct heat sources. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
  • Rotation: For optimal longevity, consider rotating your trainers with another pair if you run frequently.
