Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Glycerin 23 Trainers are designed for adult male runners seeking exceptional comfort and support for training and long distances. Their key benefit lies in the updated DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, providing an extra-soft feel with every stride. A potential consideration is that the 'secure fit' might feel snug initially for those accustomed to a looser feel.

FAQs
Who is the Brooks Glycerin 23 best suited for?
The Brooks Glycerin 23 is ideal for runners who prioritize maximum cushioning and comfort, especially for long runs, recovery runs, and everyday training.
What is the main difference compared to previous Glycerin models?
The Glycerin 23 features the updated DNA LOFT v3 cushioning for an even softer and lighter feel underfoot, along with a re-engineered mesh upper for improved fit and breathability.
Can I use these for trail running?
These trainers are primarily designed for road running. While they might handle very light, well-groomed trails, they lack the aggressive tread and protective features needed for technical terrain.
How do I clean my Glycerin 23 trainers?
Clean them using a soft brush with mild soap and cold water. Rinse with a damp cloth and allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.
What kind of arch support do they offer?
The Glycerin 23 offers a neutral support system, suitable for runners with a neutral gait or those who use orthotics. They are not designed for significant pronation control.
Are these suitable for walking or everyday wear?
Yes, the exceptional comfort and cushioning make them very suitable for walking and casual everyday wear if you prioritize a soft and supportive feel.
How durable is the DNA LOFT v3 cushioning?
The DNA LOFT v3 cushioning is engineered for long-lasting comfort and durability, designed to maintain its soft properties over many miles.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure laces are loosened properly before putting on. Try wearing thinner socks. If the issue persists after a break-in period, consider if this is the correct size or model for your foot.
Cushioning feels too soft
The Glycerin 23 is designed for maximum softness. If you prefer a firmer ride, this model may not be ideal. Consider a model with less cushioning.
Upper material feels restrictive
The engineered mesh is designed for a secure fit. Try lacing them differently or wearing them for shorter periods initially to allow them to mold to your foot shape.
Outsole showing wear quickly
Ensure you are using the shoes on appropriate surfaces (roads, treadmills) and not on abrasive surfaces like gravel or concrete for extended periods. Check for any embedded objects in the outsole.

Cons
- The secure fit may require a break-in period for some users.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Brooks Glycerin 23 trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed primarily for road running and general training. They are compatible with most standard athletic socks. They are not designed for technical trail running or extensive use on hard surfaces like concrete for prolonged periods outside of running.
Care:
- Cleaning: Spot clean with mild soap and cold water using a soft brush or cloth. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Remove insoles and laces to facilitate drying.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
