Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Glycerin 23 trainers are designed for adult female runners seeking exceptional comfort and a smooth ride, particularly for training and long distances. Their key benefit is the updated DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, providing an extra-soft feel underfoot. A potential caveat is that while offering a secure fit, the engineered mesh may feel snug to some users. Key features include the advanced cushioning, a ventilated and secure upper, smooth transitions, and an improved durable outsole.

FAQs
What is the main advantage of the DNA LOFT v3 cushioning?
The DNA LOFT v3 cushioning provides an exceptionally soft and comfortable feel underfoot, designed to absorb impact effectively and reduce fatigue during runs.
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The engineered mesh upper offers a secure fit, which might feel snug for individuals with wider feet. It's recommended to try them on or consider alternative models if you typically require a wide fit.
How do I clean my Brooks Glycerin 23 trainers?
Clean them using a mild soap and cool water with a soft cloth or brush. Avoid machine washing and ensure they air dry naturally away from heat.
What type of running are these trainers best for?
They are ideal for road running, training runs, and long-distance running where maximum cushioning and comfort are desired.
Can I use these for trail running?
These trainers are primarily designed for road running. While they may handle light, well-maintained trails, they lack the aggressive tread and protective features needed for technical trail surfaces.
What is the difference between Glycerin 23 and previous models?
The Glycerin 23 features updated DNA LOFT v3 cushioning for enhanced softness, a renewed engineered mesh upper for a better fit and ventilation, and an improved outsole for greater durability.
Do these trainers offer good support?
The Glycerin 23 is a neutral shoe, prioritizing soft cushioning. While it provides a stable ride, runners needing specific stability features might prefer models like the Brooks Adrenaline GTS.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or narrow.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the issue persists, consider trying a wider width if available or exploring models with a more generous fit.
Cushioning feels too soft for my preference.
The Glycerin series is known for its soft cushioning. If you prefer a firmer ride, you might consider other Brooks models like the Launch or Adrenaline GTS series, which offer different levels of support and responsiveness.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces.
The outsole is designed for general traction. For significantly wet or slippery conditions, exercise caution or consider shoes specifically designed for enhanced wet-surface grip.
Upper material shows signs of wear quickly.
Avoid abrasive activities and ensure proper care. Clean regularly and store them appropriately to prolong the life of the engineered mesh.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Brooks Glycerin 23 trainers require no special setup. Simply ensure you have the correct size for a comfortable fit. Wear them with appropriate athletic socks for best results.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for road running and general fitness training. They are compatible with most standard sock liners and insoles. While they offer good traction on dry and damp surfaces, they are not intended for technical trail running.
Care: To maintain the condition of your Brooks Glycerin 23 trainers:
- Cleaning: Remove loose 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 machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow the 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 deform the shoe.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
