FAQs
What type of runner is the Brooks Glycerin 23 best for?
The Glycerin 23 is ideal for neutral runners who prioritize maximum cushioning and comfort, especially for daily training, long runs, and recovery runs.
How does the DNA LOFT v3 cushioning compare to previous versions?
DNA LOFT v3 is designed to be softer and lighter than previous DNA LOFT versions, offering an even more plush and comfortable underfoot feel while maintaining durability.
Can I use these trainers for stability or overpronation?
No, the Glycerin 23 is a neutral shoe. It does not offer specific stability features for overpronation. If you need stability, Brooks offers other models like the Adrenaline GTS.
How should I clean my Glycerin 23 trainers?
Spot clean with a mild soap and cool water using a soft brush or cloth. Allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
What is the expected lifespan of the Brooks Glycerin 23?
Typically, running shoes like the Glycerin 23 last between 300 to 500 miles, depending on running surface, intensity, and individual biomechanics.
Is the engineered mesh upper waterproof?
The engineered mesh upper is designed for breathability and ventilation, not waterproofing. It will allow air to pass through but will not keep feet dry in heavy rain or puddles.
Are there other color options available for the Glycerin 23?
Yes, Brooks typically offers the Glycerin series in a range of colors. Please check the product listing for currently available colorways and sizes.
Troubleshooting
Uneven wear on the outsole
This can sometimes be related to individual running gait. Ensure you are using the correct size and that the shoe fits snugly. For persistent issues, consult a running specialist.
Feet feel too warm during runs
While the engineered mesh is breathable, consider moisture-wicking running socks. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly, which can restrict airflow.
Discomfort in the arch or heel
Ensure you have the correct size. The Glycerin 23 offers neutral support; if you require pronation control, consider a different model or consult a specialist about insoles.
Shoe feels less cushioned after many miles
Running shoe cushioning naturally degrades over time. The typical lifespan is between 300-500 miles. It may be time to consider replacing your trainers.

Care:
- Cleaning: Remove excess dirt with a soft brush. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and cool water with a cloth or soft brush. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Air dry the trainers at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can deform the shoe.
