FAQs
What type of runner is the Glycerin 23 best suited for?
The Glycerin 23 is ideal for neutral runners who need a high level of soft cushioning for training and long runs on the road.
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 and support.
Can I use the Glycerin 23 for trail running?
No, the Glycerin 23 is designed for road running and treadmills. Its outsole is not designed for the varied terrain and grip requirements of trail running.
Is the cushioning too soft for faster runs?
While the Glycerin 23 offers very soft cushioning, the DNA LOFT v3 provides a responsive feel that can accommodate some tempo or speed work. However, for dedicated speed sessions, a firmer shoe might be preferred.
How does the Glycerin 23 differ from previous models?
The Glycerin 23 features an updated DNA LOFT v3 cushioning for enhanced softness and a renewed engineered mesh upper for improved fit and ventilation compared to older versions.
Can I put these in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash or tumble dry the Brooks Glycerin 23 trainers, as this can damage the materials and affect the shoe's structure. Hand wash and air dry instead.
Troubleshooting
Uncomfortable fit or rubbing
Ensure the laces are tied appropriately for your foot shape. Check for any debris inside the shoe. If discomfort persists, the shoe might not be the right model for your foot type.
Reduced cushioning after extended use
Cushioning can naturally degrade over time. Consider replacing the shoes after 300-500 miles or when you notice a significant loss of comfort and support.
Poor traction on wet surfaces
While the outsole is designed for durability, wet surfaces can reduce traction. Run with caution on wet roads and ensure the outsole is not excessively worn down.
