Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Glycerin 23 is a premium neutral trainer designed for adult runners who prioritize maximum comfort and plush cushioning during daily training and long-distance sessions. By utilizing updated DNA LOFT v3 technology, these shoes offer an exceptionally soft underfoot experience while maintaining necessary stability through the gait cycle, though the high stack height may feel slightly less responsive to those preferring a minimalist or ground-feel experience.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?
The Glycerin 23 is a neutral shoe. If you have significant overpronation, you might look at the Glycerin GTS series which offers integrated stability features.
Can I use these for speed work?
While they are comfortable and capable, they are primarily designed for endurance and daily training rather than explosive speed work.
How many miles do these typically last?
Most runners get between 300 to 500 miles, depending on gait, weight, and running surface conditions.
Is the Glycerin 23 waterproof?
No, the engineered mesh upper is designed for maximum breathability rather than water resistance.
Does the sizing run true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to size, but we recommend comparing your UK size against your current running shoes for the most accurate fit.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure on top of the foot
Try adjusting the lacing pattern to a 'window lacing' style to relieve pressure points over the midfoot.
Laces coming untied during runs
Use a double knot or a runner's loop (heel lock) to secure the fit and keep the laces tight.
Shoes feel damp after running
Remove the insoles and stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture overnight in a well-ventilated area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Glycerin 23, proper care is essential. When you receive the shoes, ensure a 'thumbs-width' of space in the toe box for comfort. For maintenance, avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can degrade the foam properties. Instead, clean the exterior with a soft brush and mild soap, then let them air dry away from direct sunlight. To maintain the integrity of the cushioning, rotate your shoes with another pair to allow the foam to decompress fully between runs, ideally letting them rest for 24 hours.
