FAQs

Who is the Brooks Glycerin 23 best suited for?

The Brooks Glycerin 23 is ideal for neutral runners looking for maximum cushioning and comfort, especially for long runs, marathon training, and everyday mileage.

What is the main difference in the Glycerin 23 compared to previous models?

The Glycerin 23 features updated DNA LOFT v3 cushioning for enhanced softness and a renewed engineered mesh upper for a more secure and breathable fit.

Can I use these trainers for speedwork or racing?

While they offer comfort and smooth transitions, the Glycerin 23 is primarily designed for comfort and durability during training runs. For faster-paced workouts or races, a lighter, more responsive shoe might be preferred.

How durable is the DNA LOFT v3 cushioning?

DNA LOFT v3 is engineered for durability and maintains its cushioning properties for a significant number of miles, typically recommended to be replaced between 300-500 miles depending on usage.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, the engineered mesh upper is designed for breathability, not waterproofing. They are not suitable for running in heavy rain or wet conditions if dry feet are a priority.

How do I clean my Brooks Glycerin 23 trainers?

Clean them using a damp cloth with mild soap. Remove the insoles and laces and wash them separately. Allow the shoes to air dry completely away from direct heat.

What is the primary benefit of the engineered mesh upper?

The engineered mesh upper provides a secure, adaptive fit while maximizing ventilation to keep your feet cool and comfortable during your runs.

Troubleshooting

Uneven wear on the outsole

Ensure you are running on appropriate surfaces and that your stride is neutral. Significant uneven wear may indicate a need for gait analysis.

Discomfort after initial wear

Allow for a break-in period of a few runs. If discomfort persists, check the lacing and ensure the size is correct. Consider the type of socks worn.

Reduced cushioning effect over time

While DNA LOFT v3 is durable, cushioning can naturally decrease with extensive mileage. Monitor the feel of the shoe and consider replacement after approximately 300-500 miles.

Upper feels too tight or loose

Adjust the lacing pattern to customize the fit. Ensure the correct shoe size was purchased. The engineered mesh is designed to adapt, but a fundamentally incorrect size will not resolve fit issues.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Brooks Glycerin 23 trainers require no specific setup. Simply ensure you have the correct size for a comfortable fit. It is recommended to wear them for short distances initially to allow them to adapt to your foot shape.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for running on roads and other moderate surfaces. They are suitable for neutral pronation.

Care: To maintain the condition of your trainers:

  • Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents.

  • Allow trainers to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
  • Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
