FAQs

Are the Brooks Glycerin 23 good for marathon training?

Yes, the Glycerin 23 is excellent for marathon training due to its superior cushioning, which helps absorb impact and reduce fatigue over long distances.

Can I use these shoes for trail running?

These shoes are primarily designed for road running. While they might handle very light, well-maintained trails, they lack the aggressive tread and protection needed for technical off-road terrain.

How do I know if the asymmetrical lacing is right for me?

The asymmetrical lacing is designed to follow the natural curve of your foot. Try them on and lace them up; they should feel secure without pressure points. If you experience discomfort, experiment with loosening or tightening specific sections of the laces.

What is the difference between Glycerin 23 and Glycerin GTS 23?

The Glycerin 23 offers neutral cushioning. The Glycerin GTS 23 includes GuideRails® support technology for runners who need support for overpronation.

How long do Brooks Glycerin 23 shoes typically last?

With regular use for running (3-4 times a week), the cushioning and support typically last between 300 to 500 miles. This can vary based on running surface, gait, and weight.

Is this shoe suitable for wide feet?

The Glycerin 23 is available in standard width. Brooks often offers shoes in wide (2E for men, D for women) and extra-wide (4E for men, 2E for women) options. Check specific product listings for width availability.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or too loose

Adjust the asymmetrical lacing. Experiment with different lacing techniques to find a secure but comfortable fit for your foot shape. Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks.

Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time

This is normal wear and tear for running shoes. The cushioning is designed to degrade gradually. Consider replacing your shoes after 300-500 miles of running, or when you notice a significant decrease in comfort and support.

Feet feel hot during runs

While the engineered mesh is breathable, intense activity or warm weather can still lead to heat. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly, obstructing circulation, and consider moisture-wicking socks.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional cushioning for maximum comfort on long runs.
  • Breathable upper keeps feet cool and prevents overheating.
  • Secure and adaptable fit due to asymmetrical lacing.
  • Responsive feel for a good balance of comfort and performance.
  • Durable materials suitable for regular road running.

Cons

  • Asymmetrical lacing may require initial adjustment for a perfect fit.
  • Might be too soft for runners who prefer a firmer, more responsive feel.
  • Primarily designed for road running; may not perform optimally on trails.
  • Limited color options in this specific model/size combination.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These running shoes require no special setup. Simply try them on to ensure a comfortable fit. Adjust the laces for a secure, personalized feel, paying attention to the asymmetrical lacing pattern.

Compatibility: The Brooks Glycerin 23 is designed primarily for road running. They are compatible with most running socks and apparel. While they can be worn for walking or general training, their optimal performance is on paved surfaces.

Care: To maintain the shoes:

  1. Remove excess dirt with a soft brush or dry cloth.
  2. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water.
  3. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the materials.
  4. Allow shoes to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
  5. Consider using cedar shoe trees to help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
