Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Glycerin 23 Trainers are designed for adult male runners seeking exceptional comfort and smooth transitions, especially during training and long runs. Their key benefit is the updated DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, providing an extra-soft feel underfoot. A potential consideration is that while offering a secure fit, the engineered mesh upper might feel different from traditional materials.

FAQs
Are the Brooks Glycerin 23 suitable for wide feet?
The Glycerin 23 is available in standard widths, but Brooks also offers wide (2E) and extra-wide (4E) options for men, which can accommodate wider feet.
How does the DNA LOFT v3 cushioning compare to previous versions?
DNA LOFT v3 is an updated nitrogen-infused version of DNA LOFT, designed to be softer, lighter, and more responsive than previous iterations, offering an even more cushioned and comfortable feel.
Can I wear these shoes for walking or everyday use?
Yes, the Glycerin 23 offers excellent comfort and support, making them suitable for walking and general everyday wear in addition to running.
What is the expected lifespan of the Brooks Glycerin 23?
For most runners, the optimal performance of the Glycerin 23 is typically between 300 to 500 miles (480 to 800 kilometers) before the cushioning and support may start to diminish.
How should I clean my Glycerin 23 trainers?
Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the engineered mesh upper is designed for breathability and is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry conditions.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try wearing thinner socks or allow a brief break-in period. Check if the lacing is too tight.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
The DNA LOFT v3 cushioning is designed for longevity, but performance may gradually decrease with very high mileage. Consider replacing the shoes after 300-500 miles of use.
Upper mesh feels restrictive
Loosen the laces, especially around the midfoot, and allow the engineered mesh to stretch slightly during a few runs. Ensure your socks are not excessively thick.
Soles show premature wear
Ensure you are using the shoes on appropriate surfaces (roads, treadmills). Avoid running on abrasive surfaces like gravel or concrete excessively, as this can accelerate outsole wear.
Pros and Cons

- Durable outsole for lasting performance.
- Excellent choice for high-mileage running.
Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Brooks Glycerin 23 trainers are ready to wear right out of the box. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. It is recommended to wear them for a short walk or run initially to allow them to adapt to your foot shape.
Compatibility: These trainers are primarily designed for road running. They are compatible with most standard athletic socks. For those who use orthotics, ensure they fit comfortably within the shoe's existing footbed.
Care:
- Cleaning: Spot clean with a mild detergent and cold water. Use a soft brush or cloth to remove dirt. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid exposing them to extreme temperatures.
