Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Glycerin 23 Trainers are designed for adult male runners seeking exceptional comfort and a smooth ride, particularly for training and long-distance runs. Featuring updated DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, they offer an extra-soft feel underfoot, while the engineered mesh upper provides a secure, breathable fit.

FAQs
Who is the Brooks Glycerin 23 best suited for?
The Brooks Glycerin 23 is ideal for adult runners, especially males, who prioritize maximum cushioning and comfort for training and long runs. It's particularly beneficial for those with neutral pronation seeking a soft, smooth ride.
What is the main difference in cushioning compared to previous models?
The Glycerin 23 features the updated DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, which provides an even softer feel and improved responsiveness compared to older versions.
How durable is the outsole?
The outsole has been improved for greater durability, designed to withstand higher mileage and provide reliable traction over time.
Can I use these for speed training or racing?
While they offer a smooth transition, the primary focus is on plush comfort. For very fast-paced workouts or races, you might prefer a lighter, more responsive shoe. However, they can be used for tempo runs if you prioritize cushioning.
How do I clean my Glycerin 23 trainers?
Clean with a soft brush, mild soap, and cool water using a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or drying. Always air dry.
What is the recommended mileage before replacing these shoes?
The general recommendation for most running shoes, including the Glycerin 23, is to consider replacement after 300-500 miles, depending on your running style, weight, and the surfaces you run on.
Are these shoes good for runners with wide feet?
While the engineered mesh offers a degree of adaptability, Brooks typically offers specific wide (2E) or extra-wide (4E) options for men. Check product availability for wider fits if needed.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. Try lacing them differently to adjust pressure points. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in.
Feet feel hot or sweaty during runs
Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly, restricting airflow. Consider wearing moisture-wicking socks. The engineered mesh is designed for breathability, but extreme conditions may still lead to warmth.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
Cushioning can naturally degrade with extensive mileage. If the shoes have over 300-500 miles, consider replacement. Ensure they are clean and free from debris that might affect performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Brooks Glycerin 23 trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. No specific setup is required; simply ensure they fit comfortably before your first run.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for road running and general training. They are suitable for adult runners of all levels, especially those seeking maximum cushioning. While versatile, they are best suited for neutral pronation.
Care:
- Cleaning: After runs, remove excess dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cool water with a damp cloth or sponge. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the materials and cushioning.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can degrade the materials.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure they are dry before storing to prevent odor and mildew.
