FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the Brooks Glycerin 23?
The primary benefit is the ultra-soft comfort provided by the updated DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, ideal for high mileage and protecting your joints.
Are these shoes suitable for trail running?
The Glycerin 23 is primarily designed for road running. While they can handle very light, well-groomed trails, they lack the aggressive traction and protection needed for technical trail terrain.
How do I clean my Glycerin 23 trainers?
Clean them with a soft brush, mild soap, and cold water. Avoid machine washing and always air dry them away from direct heat.
What is the main difference from previous Glycerin models?
The Glycerin 23 features the new DNA LOFT v3 cushioning for an even softer, lighter, and more responsive feel compared to previous versions.
Can I use these for speedwork or races?
While comfortable, the Glycerin 23 is optimized for comfort and cushioning rather than speed. For faster workouts or races, you might consider a lighter, more performance-oriented shoe from Brooks.
What kind of foot strike is this shoe best for?
The shoe is designed to provide a smooth transition for various foot strikes, with a focus on comfort and impact absorption for heel-to-toe movement.
How durable is the outsole?
The outsole has been improved for greater durability, designed to withstand the demands of regular training and long-distance running.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or restrictive.
Ensure laces are not tied too tightly. Try different lacing techniques to adjust pressure points. Allow for a break-in period of a few runs.
Discomfort during long runs.
Verify the shoe size is correct. Consider if the specific cushioning level is ideal for your biomechanics. Ensure socks are appropriate for running.
Reduced cushioning feel over time.
While DNA LOFT v3 is durable, extreme wear can impact cushioning. Ensure proper care and avoid excessive exposure to heat or elements that degrade materials.
