Product Information

Full details

The Brooks Glycerin GTS 23 trainers are designed for adult female runners seeking maximum cushioning and reliable support. They offer a super-soft, nitrogen-infused midsole for plush landings and energy return, combined with GuideRails technology to help maintain a stable stride and reduce over-pronation. A potential caveat is that while supportive, some runners may prefer a more minimalist feel. Key features include enhanced DNA Tuned cushioning, the GuideRails support system, a breathable Triple Jacquard Warp Knit Upper, and a durable rubber outsole.

FAQs

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

This shoe is ideal for adult runners who need maximum cushioning and support, especially those who over-pronate or experience joint pain. It's suitable for daily training, long runs, and recovery runs.

How does the GuideRails support system work?

The GuideRails system acts like bumpers on the sides of the midsole, gently guiding the foot into a more stable position and reducing excess inward rolling (over-pronation) to minimize strain on the knees.

Is the cushioning too soft for faster running?

While the cushioning is very soft, the energizing toe-off from the DNA Tuned midsole and the updated forefoot design can still provide a responsive feel. However, runners prioritizing speed might prefer a firmer or more responsive shoe for tempo runs.

How often should I replace my Glycerin GTS 23 trainers?

For optimal cushioning and support, it's generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300-500 miles (480-800 km), or when you notice a significant decrease in comfort or responsiveness.

Can I wear these shoes for activities other than running?

While designed primarily for running, the comfort and support make them suitable for walking or general fitness activities. However, they may not be the most specialized choice for sports requiring lateral stability.

What is the difference between Glycerin and Glycerin GTS?

The 'GTS' stands for 'Go-To Support'. The Glycerin GTS models include the GuideRails support system for stability, while the standard Glycerin models focus purely on neutral cushioning.

How do I clean the knit upper?

Gently wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh scrubbing or machine washing to preserve the fabric's integrity and breathability.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring even pressure across the foot. Check if the correct size has been selected. The upper is designed to be accommodating, but some break-in period might be necessary.

Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time

The midsole cushioning may naturally decrease after significant mileage (typically 300-500 miles). Consider replacing the shoes to maintain optimal performance and support.

Slipping occurs during runs

Ensure the durable rubber outsole is clean and free from excessive debris. If the shoes are worn, the outsole tread may be worn down, indicating it's time for a replacement.

Foot feels overheated during runs

The Triple Jacquard Warp Knit Upper is designed for breathability. Ensure socks are moisture-wicking. If overheating persists, consider running in cooler conditions or shorter durations.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional cushioning for superior comfort on long runs.
  • Effective GuideRails support helps manage over-pronation.
  • Breathable upper keeps feet cool and comfortable.
  • Durable outsole provides long-lasting performance and grip.
  • Comfortable fit with padded collar and tongue reduces irritation.

Cons

  • May feel too soft or supportive for runners preferring a minimalist feel.
  • Weight at 308g might be noticeable for runners prioritizing ultralight shoes.
  • Specific sizing (UK 3.5 shown) may require careful attention to ensure the best fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Brooks Glycerin GTS 23 trainers are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure they are laced appropriately to secure the midfoot for a comfortable and stable fit.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for road running and general training. They are suitable for adult runners of various levels, particularly those who benefit from support and high cushioning.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: To clean, remove excess dirt with a dry brush. For dirtier areas, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
  2. 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 warp the shoe's structure.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
