Product Information

Full details

The Brooks Glycerin 23 is a premium neutral trainer designed for adult runners who prioritize maximum comfort and fluid transitions during road training. Featuring advanced nitrogen-infused cushioning, it offers a smooth, balanced ride that supports high-mileage efforts; however, its substantial cushioning profile may feel less responsive to runners seeking a lightweight, minimalist feel for speed work.

FAQs

Is the Brooks Glycerin 23 suitable for flat feet?

The Glycerin 23 is a neutral shoe. If you have flat feet and require stability support, you may want to look at the Glycerin GTS series which offers integrated support technology.

What is the heel-to-toe drop of this shoe?

The Brooks Glycerin 23 has an 8 mm drop, which promotes a balanced, natural transition while running.

Are these shoes machine washable?

No, machine washing can damage the foam and adhesive. Always hand-clean using mild soap and water.

Can I use these for marathon racing?

While highly comfortable for long-distance training, they are primarily designed for training. Many runners prefer lighter, performance-tuned shoes for race day.

How long should a pair of Glycerin 23s last?

Generally, running shoes last between 400 and 500 miles, depending on your running surface, body weight, and gait mechanics.

Troubleshooting

Foot feels too tight or restricted

Try a different lacing technique, such as skipping the eyelet over the pressure point, or check if the shoe size is appropriate for your arch height.

Visible wear on the outsole after minimal use

Ensure you are using the shoes primarily on road surfaces and not on rough, abrasive terrain which can accelerate outsole degradation.

Foam feels unresponsive or 'dead' early on

Allow the shoes 24 hours to recover between runs, as the foam cells require time to decompress after heavy impact.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional impact absorption for long-distance comfort
  • Fluid and natural gait transitions
  • Precise, secure fit for various foot shapes
  • Durable construction suitable for high-mileage training

Cons

  • Heavier weight compared to performance racing shoes
  • Increased stack height may feel less ground-connected for some users
  • Less suited for fast-paced tempo sessions

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure optimal performance, ensure you have selected your correct UK size, allowing roughly a thumb's width of space at the front of the toe box. When lacing, use the eyelets to customize the tension across your bridge, but avoid overtightening to maintain circulation. For care, avoid using a washing machine or dryer, as heat can degrade the cushioning foam. Instead, remove the insole and clean the outer mesh with a soft brush and lukewarm water. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators to preserve the integrity of the materials.
