FAQs

What type of runner is the Brooks Glycerin 23 best suited for?

The Glycerin 23 is ideal for neutral runners who prioritize maximum cushioning and comfort, particularly for daily training, long runs, and recovery runs.

How does the DNA LOFT v3 cushioning compare to previous versions?

DNA LOFT v3 is an updated, nitrogen-infused version of Brooks' DNA LOFT cushioning. It is designed to be softer, lighter, and more responsive than previous iterations, offering an even more plush underfoot experience.

Can I use the Glycerin 23 for speedwork or racing?

While the Glycerin 23 offers a smooth ride, its primary focus is on soft cushioning for comfort. It is not optimized for speedwork or racing, where lighter, more responsive shoes are typically preferred.

How should I clean my Glycerin 23 trainers?

Clean the shoes using a soft brush or a damp cloth to remove dirt. Avoid machine washing or drying, and do not use harsh chemicals.

What is the intended use for this shoe?

The Glycerin 23 is designed for road running, specifically for training sessions and long-distance runs where comfort and impact absorption are paramount.

Are there other color options available for the Glycerin 23?

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

How durable is the outsole on the Glycerin 23?

The Glycerin 23 features an improved outsole designed for greater durability, offering better wear resistance for regular training use.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the issue persists, consider using thinner socks or exploring models with a wider fit option if available.

Cushioning feels stiff initially

The DNA LOFT v3 cushioning may require a short break-in period. Go for a few shorter runs to allow the cushioning to adapt to your foot.

Reduced grip on wet surfaces

The outsole is designed for durability on dry and damp surfaces. For significantly wet or slippery conditions, exercise caution or consider shoes with specialized wet-traction outsoles.

Upper mesh feels restrictive

Ensure the laces are not over-tightened. Try lacing techniques that allow for more flexibility in the forefoot area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for running on roads and paved surfaces. They are suitable for runners with a neutral gait. While they offer durability for daily training, they are not intended for trail running or intense speedwork.

Care: To maintain the condition of your Brooks Glycerin 23 trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and debris from the upper and midsole. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or dryers, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Laundering: It is not recommended to machine wash or machine dry the trainers, as this can compromise the structural integrity and cushioning.
  4. Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent material degradation.
