Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Glycerin 23 trainers are designed for adult male runners seeking high cushioning for everyday road running. They offer consistent comfort over long distances, featuring an engineered mesh upper for breathability and an Ortholite insole for cushioned landings. A potential caveat is the specific 8mm heel drop, which may not suit all running gaits.

FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the Brooks Glycerin 23?
The primary benefit is its high level of cushioning, designed to provide consistent comfort and impact absorption for everyday road running, especially over longer distances.
Who is the Brooks Glycerin 23 designed for?
These trainers are designed for adult male runners who prioritize cushioning and comfort for their daily road running routines.
How do I clean my Brooks Glycerin 23 trainers?
Clean them with a mild soap and cold water using a soft cloth or brush. Avoid machine washing. Always air dry away from direct heat.
What is the heel drop on the Glycerin 23?
The Glycerin 23 has an 8mm heel drop, which helps in promoting smooth transitions from heel to toe during your run.
Are these shoes suitable for trail running?
No, the Brooks Glycerin 23 is specifically designed for road running. The outsole may not provide adequate grip or durability for trail surfaces.
How long can I expect the cushioning to last?
The lifespan of the cushioning typically lasts between 300 to 500 miles, depending on running style, weight, and surface. Replace the shoes when cushioning feels diminished.
What does the 'GTS' in some Brooks models mean?
GTS stands for 'Go-To Support'. Models like the Glycerin GTS 23 offer GuideRails support for those who need added stability, while the Glycerin 23 focuses purely on soft cushioning.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing during runs
Ensure the correct size is being worn. Adjust lacing to a preferred tension. Break in the shoes gradually with shorter runs before attempting long distances.
Reduced cushioning over time
Cushioning can naturally degrade with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes after 300-500 miles or when you notice a significant loss of comfort and support.
Poor traction on wet surfaces
The rubber sole is designed for road surfaces. While providing good grip, performance on extremely wet or slick surfaces may be reduced. Ensure the sole is clean of debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Brooks Glycerin 23 comes ready to wear. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal fit and comfort. No assembly or initial setup is required.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult male runners and are best suited for road running. They are compatible with standard athletic socks.
Care:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a dry brush. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cold water with a soft cloth or brush. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents.
