FAQs

What type of runner is the Brooks Glycerin 23 best for?

The Glycerin 23 is ideal for adult runners, especially those who prioritize maximum cushioning and comfort for daily training, recovery runs, and long-distance running like marathons.

How does the DNA LOFT v3 cushioning compare to previous versions?

The updated DNA LOFT v3 offers an even softer and more responsive feel compared to previous iterations, enhancing comfort and impact absorption.

Is the engineered mesh upper breathable?

Yes, the renewed engineered mesh upper is designed to be both secure and ventilated, helping to keep your feet cool during your runs.

Can I use the Brooks Glycerin 23 for speed work?

While the Glycerin 23 provides a smooth ride, its primary focus is on plush cushioning. It is suitable for tempo runs but may not offer the firm, responsive feel preferred by some for high-intensity speed training.

How do I clean my Brooks Glycerin 23 trainers?

Spot clean the trainers using a mild soap and water mixture with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid machine washing and drying. Allow them to air dry naturally.

What is the main difference between the Glycerin 23 and other Brooks models?

The Glycerin series is known for its maximum cushioning. Models like the Ghost offer a balance of cushioning and responsiveness, while racing shoes focus on speed and light weight.

How durable is the outsole?

The Glycerin 23 features an improved outsole designed for greater durability, intended to withstand regular training mileage.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks. If still tight, consider trying a half-size up or a model with a wider fit if available. Break-in period might also help slightly.

Discomfort on long runs

Verify the shoe size is correct and consider using different insoles if needed. Ensure you've allowed for a proper break-in period.

Upper material feels restrictive

The engineered mesh is designed for a secure fit. If you prefer a looser feel, you may need to adjust lacing or consider alternative models.

Reduced cushioning effect over time

Cushioning may naturally decrease with significant mileage. Ensure you are cleaning the shoes properly and allowing them to dry correctly to maintain material integrity.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional softness and comfort from DNA LOFT v3 cushioning.
  • Secure and breathable upper provides a reliable fit.
  • Smooth heel-to-toe transitions for a natural stride.
  • Durable outsole construction for extended use.
  • Ideal for runners prioritizing comfort on long runs.

Cons

  • The secure fit might be too snug for runners who prefer a very wide toe box.
  • May not provide the firmest ride for runners seeking maximum responsiveness for speed work.
  • The focus on softness might mean less ground feel for some users.
  • Specific colorways and sizes may have limited availability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Unboxing: Remove the shoes from their packaging. Ensure they are the correct size and color.
  2. Fit Check: Try the shoes on with your typical running socks. Ensure there are no immediate pressure points or discomfort.

Compatibility:

  • Socks: Designed to be worn with standard athletic or running socks.
  • Surfaces: Best suited for road running and treadmill use. Can be used on light trails but may lack aggressive grip.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Spot clean the upper with a mild soap and water solution using a soft brush or cloth. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the materials and cushioning.
  • Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Stuffing with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight when not in use.
