FAQs
What is the main difference in the Glycerin 23 compared to previous models?
The Glycerin 23 features updated DNA LOFT v3 cushioning for enhanced softness and a renewed engineered mesh upper for improved fit and ventilation.
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
Yes, the Glycerin 23 is ideal for long runs and marathon training due to its superior cushioning and comfort.
Can I wear these for trail running?
These trainers are designed primarily for road running. The outsole provides good traction on pavement but may not be optimal for technical trail surfaces.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the midfoot should be snug but not constricting.
How durable is the outsole?
The outsole has been improved for greater durability, designed to withstand significant mileage. However, actual lifespan depends on running surface, frequency, and individual gait.
Is the cushioning too soft for faster running?
While the cushioning is very soft for comfort, some runners might find it less responsive for very fast-paced running. They are best suited for everyday training and long-distance comfort.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring even pressure across the foot. If still too tight, consider if a different size or width is needed.
Slight discomfort during first few runs
This is common as shoes break in. Wear them for shorter runs initially to allow them to adapt to your foot shape.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
Cushioning naturally decreases with mileage. If the softness is significantly reduced, it may be time to consider replacing the shoes.
Upper material feels restrictive
Ensure laces are not overtightened. The engineered mesh is designed to be breathable and adaptive; check for any debris inside the shoe that might cause pressure.
