Product Information

Full details

The Brooks Glycerin 23 trainers are designed for adult male runners seeking premium cushioning and comfort for their runs. The key benefit is the super-soft, nitrogen-infused DNA Tuned Midsole that provides plush landings and energizing toe-offs. A potential caveat is the weight, which may be noticeable for runners prioritizing ultralight footwear.

FAQs

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

The Glycerin 23 is best suited for adult runners seeking maximum cushioning and comfort, particularly for daily training, long runs, and recovery efforts. It's designed for neutral runners.

How much cushioning does the DNA Tuned Midsole offer?

The DNA Tuned Midsole offers super-soft, nitrogen-infused cushioning. It features dual-size cell technology designed to maximize softness for plush landings and provide energizing toe-offs.

Is the upper material breathable?

Yes, the Triple Jacquard Warp Knit Upper is designed to be highly breathable, allowing cool air to flow in and help control foot temperature during runs.

What is the drop of the Brooks Glycerin 23?

The heel-to-toe drop is 8mm.

How should I clean my Glycerin 23 trainers?

Clean using a mild soap and cool water with a damp cloth or sponge. Avoid machine washing or drying. Allow to air dry away from direct heat.

What is the weight of the Brooks Glycerin 23?

The weight is approximately 297g.

Can I use these shoes for racing?

While they offer excellent cushioning, their weight and focus on plush comfort mean they are primarily suited for training runs rather than competitive racing where lighter, more responsive shoes are typically preferred.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Loosen the traditional lacing system and re-tie, ensuring a snug but not restrictive fit. Ensure the correct size has been selected. The knit upper may require a few runs to break in.

Reduced cushioning or responsiveness.

Ensure the shoes are clean and free of debris. Over time, cushioning can naturally decrease with significant mileage. Check for excessive wear on the outsole.

Feet feel hot or sweaty during runs.

While the knit upper is breathable, prolonged high-intensity efforts in warm weather can still lead to heat buildup. Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks. Consider alternative shoes if extreme heat management is a primary concern.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional cushioning for long-distance comfort.
  • Breathable upper keeps feet cool.
  • Secure and comfortable fit.
  • Durable outsole for sustained performance.
  • Smooth transition from heel to toe.

Cons

  • May be heavier than minimalist running shoes.
  • The knit upper might not suit extremely narrow feet without adjustments.
  • Primarily designed for neutral runners, may not offer sufficient support for severe overpronators.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: The Brooks Glycerin 23 comes ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size for a proper fit. The traditional lacing system allows you to adjust the snugness across your midfoot.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed as neutral running shoes, suitable for runners with a neutral gait or mild supination. They are compatible with most standard athletic socks. For optimal performance, avoid wearing them with very thick or specialized orthotics unless they fit comfortably within the existing shoe volume.

Care: To maintain the integrity and performance of your Glycerin 23 trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cool water with a damp cloth or sponge. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
  2. Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
  3. Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
