FAQs
What is the main benefit of the Brooks Glycerin 23?
The primary benefit is the ultra-soft DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, providing maximum comfort and shock absorption for long runs and daily training.
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The standard fit is designed to be accommodating, but for very wide feet, it's recommended to try them on or look for specific wide-width versions if available.
How do I know if these are the right shoes for me?
If you prioritize comfort and a soft, cushioned ride for training runs, recovery runs, or long distances, and do not prefer a very firm shoe, the Glycerin 23 is likely a good fit.
Can I use the Glycerin 23 for speedwork or racing?
While comfortable, the Glycerin 23 is primarily designed for comfort and cushioning rather than speed. For dedicated speedwork or racing, you might consider lighter, more responsive shoes in the Brooks line.
How durable is the outsole?
The Glycerin 23 features an improved outsole designed for greater durability, making it suitable for high mileage and extended use on roads.
What is the difference between the Glycerin 23 and previous models?
The Glycerin 23 features updated DNA LOFT v3 cushioning for enhanced softness and a renewed engineered mesh upper for a better fit and ventilation compared to older versions.
What kind of surfaces are these trainers best for?
These trainers are best suited for road running and use on treadmills. They are not designed for trail running.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure laces are loosened before putting on. If still tight, consider if this is the correct size or if the upper needs time to break in.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
Cushioning naturally compresses with use. Ensure the shoes are clean and dry, as moisture can affect the material's properties. For significant loss of cushioning, it may be time to consider replacement.
Upper feels less breathable
Check the mesh for debris or blockages. Clean the upper gently with a damp cloth as per care instructions.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for road running and treadmills. They are suitable for adult female runners of all levels looking for a cushioned shoe.
Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your Brooks Glycerin 23 trainers:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cool water with a soft cloth or brush. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can degrade the cushioning and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
