Full details
The Brooks Glycerin GTS 23 Trainers are designed for female runners seeking a stable and comfortable experience for daily runs and long distances. Their key benefit is the combination of plush DNA LOFT v3 cushioning with GuideRails support for consistent stability. A potential caveat is that the stability features might feel less pronounced for neutral runners accustomed to a zero-interference feel.

FAQs
Are the Brooks Glycerin GTS 23 suitable for neutral runners?
While designed with GuideRails for support, many neutral runners find the system unobtrusive and appreciate the added stability, especially on longer runs. However, if you prefer a completely unguided feel, the neutral Brooks Glycerin 23 (without GTS) might be a better option.
How do I know if I need the GTS version?
The GTS (Go-To Support) version is recommended if you experience mild overpronation or desire a more guided stride. If you have a naturally stable foot strike and don't need extra support, the neutral Glycerin model would be more appropriate.
What is the main difference between the Glycerin GTS 23 and previous versions?
The primary advancement in the GTS 23 is the use of DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, which offers a lighter, softer, and more responsive experience compared to previous iterations, along with updated GuideRails for more holistic support.
Can I wear these shoes for cross-training or gym workouts?
While they are primarily designed for running, their cushioning and support can accommodate some light cross-training. However, for activities requiring lateral stability (like weightlifting or court sports), specialized shoes are recommended.
What is the expected lifespan of the Brooks Glycerin GTS 23?
For most runners, the shoes are expected to last between 300-500 miles. This can vary based on running surface, individual biomechanics, and how the shoes are cared for.
Is the upper material waterproof?
No, the engineered mesh upper is designed for breathability and is not waterproof. For wet weather running, consider waterproof running shoes or shoe covers.
Troubleshooting
Unusual squeaking noise
This can sometimes occur with new cushioning. Try running in them a few more times. If it persists, check for any foreign objects in the outsole grooves.
Slightly tight fit
Ensure laces are not tied too tightly. The engineered mesh upper will also break in and stretch slightly over time. Consider if a wider size is needed for future purchases.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
Cushioning naturally compresses with use. Consistent cleaning and proper drying can help maintain material integrity. If significant degradation occurs, it may be time for a replacement pair.
