FAQs

What is the main advantage of the Brooks Glycerin 23?

The main advantage is the exceptionally soft and comfortable ride provided by the updated DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, ideal for long runs and runners seeking maximum impact absorption.

Are these shoes suitable for narrow feet?

The engineered mesh upper provides a secure fit, which can work for some narrower feet. However, if you have very narrow feet, consider trying them on to ensure a comfortable, non-slipping fit, or look for models specifically designed for narrow widths.

How often should I replace my Glycerin 23 trainers?

It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300-500 miles, or when you notice a significant decrease in cushioning or support, or signs of wear on the outsole and upper.

Can I wear these for speedwork or racing?

While the Glycerin 23 offers comfort, its primary focus is on soft cushioning rather than responsiveness for speed. They are best suited for daily training, long runs, and recovery runs rather than fast-paced racing.

How do I clean the engineered mesh upper?

Gently wipe the mesh with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Rinse with clean water and allow to air dry completely. Avoid machine washing.

What is the difference between Glycerin 23 and other Brooks models?

The Glycerin series is known for its maximum cushioning. Models like the Ghost offer a balance of cushioning and responsiveness, while racing shoes like the Hyperion Tempo prioritize lightness and speed.

Are the Brooks Glycerin 23 available in other colors?

Yes, the Brooks Glycerin 23 is available in various colorways for both men and women. Please check the product listings for available options.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have the correct size and width. If still tight, try wearing thinner socks or loosening the laces slightly. The engineered mesh may also loosen slightly with wear.

Reduced cushioning effect over time

While the DNA LOFT v3 is durable, cushioning can gradually decrease with very high mileage. Consider replacing the shoes after approximately 300-500 miles, or when cushioning feels significantly diminished.

Slipping in wet conditions

The outsole offers good grip on dry surfaces. For wet conditions, reduce speed and be cautious, as the mesh and rubber may not provide optimal traction in heavy rain or on slick surfaces.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional softness and comfort from DNA LOFT v3 cushioning.
  • Secure and breathable fit due to the engineered mesh upper.
  • Smooth and consistent ride for long runs.
  • Increased durability for extended use.
  • Suitable for various training paces.

Cons

  • May feel snug for runners who prefer a very wide fit in the forefoot.
  • The emphasis on softness might not appeal to runners seeking a very firm, responsive feel.
  • Engineered mesh, while breathable, may not be ideal for extreme wet conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Brooks Glycerin 23 Trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you select the correct UK size for optimal fit and comfort.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for road running and general training. They are compatible with most standard running socks.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials and cushioning.
  • Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
