Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Glycerin 23 Trainers are designed for adult male runners seeking exceptional comfort and smooth transitions, especially for training and long runs. Its key benefit lies in the updated DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, providing an extra-soft feel underfoot.

FAQs
Are the Brooks Glycerin 23 suitable for beginners?
Yes, the Glycerin 23 is an excellent choice for beginners due to its high level of comfort and cushioning, which can help make the initial running experience more enjoyable and less impactful on the body.
Can I wear these for walking?
Absolutely. While designed for running, the superior cushioning and comfort make them a great option for walking, standing for long periods, or everyday casual wear.
What is the difference between DNA LOFT v3 and previous cushioning?
DNA LOFT v3 is an updated cushioning technology that provides an even softer feel and lighter weight compared to previous versions, enhancing overall comfort without compromising responsiveness.
How do I know if this shoe is right for my foot type?
The Glycerin 23 is best suited for neutral runners. If you notice your foot rolling excessively inward (overpronation) or outward (supination), you might benefit from a stability shoe. Observing wear patterns on old shoes can offer clues.
What is the expected lifespan of the Brooks Glycerin 23?
Typically, running shoes like the Glycerin 23 are expected to last between 300 to 500 miles. This can vary based on running surface, individual gait, and care practices.
Is the sizing similar to other Brooks running shoes?
Generally, Brooks running shoes maintain a consistent sizing across models. However, slight variations can occur. It's always recommended to consult the size chart or try them on if possible.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose
Adjust the lacing to your preference. Ensure you have the correct size; refer to sizing charts if unsure. The engineered mesh upper will conform to your foot over time.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
Cushioning can naturally break down after extensive use. Consider replacing your trainers after 300-500 miles, or when you notice a significant decrease in comfort and support.
Upper mesh feels warm
While designed for ventilation, intense activity in very hot conditions may still cause warmth. Ensure socks are moisture-wicking. Allow shoes to air out thoroughly after each use.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Superior cushioning for enhanced comfort on long runs.
- Breathable and secure upper for a comfortable fit.
- Smooth ride minimizes impact and effort.
- Durable construction for extended use.
- Suitable for neutral runners seeking a soft feel.
Cons
- May not provide enough stability for overpronators.
- The soft cushioning might feel less responsive for faster paces.
- Specific colorways might have limited availability.
- Primarily focused on comfort, not aggressive speedwork.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Brooks Glycerin 23 comes ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for a comfortable and secure fit. Proper lacing technique can further enhance the fit and support.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for neutral runners. While they offer a secure fit, they are best suited for individuals who do not require significant motion control or pronation support. They are compatible with most running surfaces, particularly roads and paved paths.
Care:
- Cleaning: After runs, use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the materials and affect the shoe's structure.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can cause shrinkage or material breakdown.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid leaving them in hot environments, such as a car on a sunny day.
