FAQs
Who is the Brooks Glycerin 23 for?
The Brooks Glycerin 23 is best suited for neutral runners seeking maximum cushioning and comfort, especially for long runs, daily training, and recovery runs.
What is the main difference in the Glycerin 23 compared to previous models?
The Glycerin 23 features updated DNA LOFT v3 cushioning for an even softer and lighter feel, along with a renewed engineered mesh upper for an improved fit and breathability.
Can I use these shoes for marathon racing?
While they offer excellent comfort for long distances, they are primarily designed for training. For racing, you might prefer a lighter, more responsive shoe, though some runners find them suitable for marathon comfort.
How should I clean my Glycerin 23s?
Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing and ensure they air dry completely away from heat.
What is the expected lifespan of the Glycerin 23?
With proper care, most running shoes, including the Glycerin 23, can last between 300-500 miles. The improved outsole aims to enhance durability.
Are these shoes suitable for people with wide feet?
The Glycerin 23 is available in standard widths. For wider feet, check for available wide (2E for men, D for women) or extra-wide (4E for men, 2E for women) options if offered for this specific model and size.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try wearing thinner socks. The engineered mesh may also stretch slightly with use.
Cushioning feels too soft for speed work
The Glycerin 23 is optimized for comfort and cushioning. For faster running, consider a more responsive shoe from Brooks, like the Hyperion series.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
The outsole is designed for durability and general traction. For significantly wet or slippery conditions, exercise caution.
