FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the GuideRails support system?

The GuideRails support system helps keep excessive movement in check, guiding your foot to land more stably and reducing the risk of knee injury by managing over-pronation.

How does the DNA Tuned Midsole differ from standard cushioning?

The DNA Tuned Midsole uses nitrogen-infused cushioning with dual-size cell technology to maximize softness for plush landings and provide energizing toe-offs, offering a more responsive and comfortable ride than many standard foams.

Are these shoes suitable for neutral runners?

While they offer support, the GuideRails system is designed to assist those who over-pronate. Neutral runners may still find the cushioning comfortable, but the support features might not be necessary and could feel slightly intrusive.

What is the drop of the Brooks Glycerin GTS 23?

The shoe has a heel-to-toe drop of 8mm.

How should I clean my Glycerin GTS 23 trainers?

Clean them using a mild soap and cool water with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

What is the weight of the Brooks Glycerin GTS 23?

The weight is approximately 308g.

Can I use these shoes for trail running?

These trainers are primarily designed for road running. The durable rubber outsole offers good grip on paved surfaces, but it may not provide sufficient traction or protection for uneven, technical trail terrain.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable after initial wear.

Adjust the lacing system to provide more or less tension in specific areas. Ensure you have the correct size; consider trying a different size if the issue persists after adjustment.

Reduced cushioning or support over time.

The cushioning technology may naturally compress with extensive use. For optimal performance, consider replacing the shoes after 300-500 miles or when you notice a significant decrease in comfort and support.

Slipping sensation during runs.

Ensure the lacing system is properly secured to lock the midfoot. Check the outsole for wear or embedded debris; clean the outsole for better traction. If the issue persists, the shoe's design may not be optimal for your gait.

Feet feeling too warm during runs.

While the upper is designed for breathability, intense activity or warm conditions can still lead to warmth. Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks. The shoes may be less suitable for extremely hot climates if breathability is a primary concern.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional softness and comfort due to nitrogen-infused cushioning.
  • Effective support system to reduce over-pronation.
  • Breathable upper keeps feet cool during runs.
  • Durable outsole ensures reliable traction.
  • Comfortable fit with padded collar and tongue.

Cons

  • May not be suitable for runners who prefer a very firm or minimalist shoe.
  • The support system might feel too prominent for neutral runners.
  • Weight at 308g might be noticeable for speed-focused runners.
  • Specific fit can vary, potentially requiring trial.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Brooks Glycerin GTS 23 comes ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for a comfortable fit. The traditional lacing system allows for adjustment to secure the midfoot.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for road running and general athletic activities. They are suitable for adult runners, particularly those seeking enhanced cushioning and support for pronation.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Clean the shoes using a mild soap and cool water with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage the materials.
  • Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can cause shrinkage or material degradation.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent odor and mildew.
  • Outsole Care: Periodically check the outsole for debris and clean if necessary to maintain optimal grip.
