FAQs

Who is the Brooks Glycerin 23 best suited for?

The Brooks Glycerin 23 is best suited for adult runners, particularly females in this variant, who prioritize maximum cushioning and comfort, especially for training and long-distance running.

What makes the DNA LOFT v3 cushioning special?

DNA LOFT v3 is an updated cushioning technology that provides an exceptionally soft and comfortable feel underfoot, designed to reduce impact and enhance comfort during runs.

Can I use the Glycerin 23 for speedwork or racing?

While comfortable, the Glycerin 23 is primarily designed for comfort and durability over speed. For faster paces or races, you might consider a lighter, more responsive shoe. However, it can work for slower, steady-paced speed sessions.

How do I clean my Glycerin 23s?

Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents, and always air dry away from direct heat.

Is the fit true to size?

Generally, Brooks shoes fit true to size. However, individual foot shape can vary, so trying them on or referring to sizing charts is recommended.

What is the main difference between this and previous Glycerin models?

The Glycerin 23 features updated DNA LOFT v3 cushioning for enhanced softness and a renewed engineered mesh upper for an improved fit and breathability compared to older models.

Are these shoes good for walking or everyday wear?

Yes, the superior cushioning makes them very comfortable for walking and everyday wear, though they are optimized for running performance.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or too loose

Adjust the lacing pattern. For tightness, try a looser weave; for looseness, try a tighter weave or a runner's knot. Ensure you have the correct size for your foot.

Cushioning feels less responsive than expected

The Glycerin 23 prioritizes softness. If a firmer feel is desired, this model might not be the best fit. Ensure the shoes are broken in, as cushioning can feel firmer initially.

Upper mesh shows signs of wear

Avoid abrasive contact with rough surfaces. If small tears occur, consider reinforcement with fabric glue, but significant damage may require replacement.

Outsole wear is faster than anticipated

Ensure you are using the shoes on appropriate surfaces (roads, treadmills). Avoid excessive wear on abrasive surfaces like concrete or gravel if possible, as this can accelerate outsole wear.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional cushioning for supreme comfort on long runs.
  • Breathable upper keeps feet cool and dry.
  • Smooth transitions enhance running efficiency.
  • Durable outsole for extended shoe life.
  • Suitable for a wide range of adult runners, particularly those prioritizing comfort.

Cons

  • May feel too soft or less responsive for runners preferring a firmer feel.
  • The generous cushioning might add slight weight compared to minimalist trainers.
  • The specific colorway mentioned (Black/Grey) might not appeal to all aesthetic preferences.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: These shoes are ready to wear straight out of the box. No specific setup is required. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal fit and comfort.

Compatibility: The Brooks Glycerin 23 is designed as a running shoe compatible with most running surfaces, including roads, treadmills, and light trails. It is suitable for adult runners of all genders.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Remove excess dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the materials and cushioning.
  2. Drying: Air dry shoes at room temperature. Stuffing them with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Keep away from direct heat sources like radiators or dryers.
  3. Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Avoid leaving them in hot cars or damp environments.
