Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Glycerin 23 trainers are designed for adult male runners seeking exceptional comfort and a smooth ride, particularly for training and long-distance runs. Its primary benefit is the updated DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, offering an extra-soft feel underfoot. A potential consideration is that the engineered mesh upper, while providing a secure fit, might be less flexible than some runners prefer.

FAQs
Who is the Brooks Glycerin 23 designed for?
The Brooks Glycerin 23 is designed for neutral runners seeking maximum cushioning and comfort, ideal for road running, daily training, and long-distance efforts.
What is the main difference in the Glycerin 23 compared to previous versions?
The Glycerin 23 features updated DNA LOFT v3 cushioning for an even softer, lighter, and more responsive feel, along with a renewed engineered mesh upper for a better fit and ventilation.
How do I clean my Glycerin 23 trainers?
Clean using a soft brush and mild soap with cool water. Avoid machine washing or drying. Always air dry away from direct heat.
What is the expected lifespan of the Brooks Glycerin 23?
Typically, running shoes like the Glycerin 23 last between 300 to 500 miles, depending on running surface, user weight, and gait.
Can I use these shoes for marathon training?
Yes, the enhanced cushioning and comfort make them an excellent choice for marathon training and race day itself for runners who prefer a soft feel.
Are the Glycerin 23 suitable for trail running?
No, these trainers are designed for road running. The outsole does not provide the necessary grip or protection for trail surfaces.
What does 'DNA LOFT v3' mean?
DNA LOFT v3 is Brooks' proprietary cushioning technology, specifically formulated to be soft, lightweight, and responsive, providing a plush feel underfoot.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort or blisters
Ensure you have the correct size and width. Try wearing different socks or adjusting the lacing pattern. Break in the shoes gradually on shorter runs before attempting long distances.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
While DNA LOFT v3 is durable, the perceived softness can decrease with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes after 300-500 miles, or when cushioning feels significantly diminished.
Upper feels too tight or constrictive
Verify the lacing is not too tight. The engineered mesh is designed for a snug fit; try loosening the laces slightly or explore alternative lacing techniques. If persistent, consider if this model is the right fit for your foot shape.
Traction issues on wet surfaces
The outsole is designed for durability on dry to moderately wet roads. For significantly wet or slippery conditions, exercise caution. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris that could affect grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Brooks Glycerin 23 trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. No special setup is required. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed primarily for road running and general fitness training. They are compatible with most standard athletic socks. They are not intended for trail running or highly technical terrain due to the outsole design.
Care: To maintain the condition of your Brooks Glycerin 23 trainers:
- Cleaning: Remove excess dirt with a soft brush or dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cool water with a soft cloth or brush. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
