Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Glycerin 23 trainers are designed for adult runners seeking exceptional comfort and a smooth, stable running experience, particularly for training and long distances. Their key benefit lies in the updated DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, providing an extra-soft feel. A potential consideration is that while designed for comfort, individuals requiring a very minimalist shoe might find them less suitable.

FAQs
Are the Brooks Glycerin 23 suitable for wide feet?
The Glycerin 23 is available in multiple widths, including wide (2E for men, D for women). Check the product specifications for available width options.
How does the DNA LOFT v3 cushioning compare to previous versions?
DNA LOFT v3 is an updated version offering an even softer, lighter, and more responsive cushioning experience compared to previous DNA LOFT versions.
Can I use these trainers for trail running?
While they can handle light, well-maintained trails, they are primarily designed for road running. The outsole may not provide sufficient grip or protection for rugged off-road conditions.
What is the heel-to-toe drop on the Glycerin 23?
The Glycerin 23 has a heel-to-toe drop of 10mm, which is a standard specification offering a balanced feel for most runners.
How do I know when to replace my Glycerin 23 trainers?
Replace your trainers when the cushioning feels significantly less responsive, the outsole shows considerable wear, or you start experiencing new aches and pains after running. A general guideline is every 300-500 miles.
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 where dry feet are a priority.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure the shoes are the correct size and width. Try adjusting the lacing system to find a more secure and comfortable fit. Wear appropriate athletic socks.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
While DNA LOFT v3 is durable, cushioning can naturally decrease with very high mileage. Consider replacing shoes after approximately 300-500 miles, or when you notice a significant reduction in comfort and support.
Upper material feels too warm
The engineered mesh provides ventilation, but if you experience excessive heat, ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks. In extreme heat, allow for longer drying times between runs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These trainers are ready to use right out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. No assembly or initial setup is required.
Compatibility:
Designed for road running and general athletic use. They are compatible with most running surfaces but are optimized for pavements, tracks, and light trails.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Spot clean with a mild detergent and cold water. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the materials and affect the shoe's structure.
- Drying: Air dry shoes away from direct heat sources. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
