Product Information

Full details

The Brooks Glycerin 23 Trainers are designed for adult female runners seeking exceptional comfort and a smooth ride, especially during training and long runs. Their key benefit is the updated DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, offering an extra-soft feel underfoot. A potential caveat is that the highly cushioned nature might feel less responsive for runners who prefer a firmer, faster feel.

FAQs

What is the main difference in the Glycerin 23 compared to previous versions?

The Glycerin 23 features updated DNA LOFT v3 cushioning for enhanced softness and a renewed engineered mesh upper for a more secure and ventilated fit.

Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?

Yes, the Glycerin 23 is an excellent choice for marathon running due to its superior cushioning and comfort, which helps reduce fatigue over long distances.

Can I use these shoes for cross-training or gym workouts?

While they offer comfort, their primary design is for running. For cross-training, you might prefer a shoe with more lateral stability. However, they can be used for light gym activities.

How do I know if I have the right size?

You should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The fit should be snug around the heel and midfoot without feeling tight.

What type of runner is the Glycerin 23 best suited for?

It is best suited for neutral runners who prioritize maximum cushioning and a soft feel, particularly for daily training and long runs.

How durable is the outsole?

The outsole has been improved for greater durability, designed to withstand regular use on paved surfaces and trails, offering good longevity for mileage.

Can the insoles be removed?

Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if needed.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort or rubbing during wear

Ensure the correct size and width. Adjust lacing to find a secure but not constricting fit. Break in the shoes with shorter runs before attempting long distances.

Cushioning feels too soft

This is an intentional feature for maximum comfort. If a firmer feel is desired, consider other Brooks models like the Launch or Ghost series, which offer a more balanced or responsive ride.

Mesh upper seems less supportive

The engineered mesh is designed for flexibility and breathability. For runners needing enhanced support, ensure proper lacing and consider if a stability shoe might be a better fit for your gait.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior softness and comfort due to DNA LOFT v3 cushioning.
  • Secure and breathable fit from the engineered mesh upper.
  • Smooth and natural ride enhances running efficiency.
  • Durable outsole for extended product life.
  • Excellent choice for high-mileage runners and those prioritizing comfort.

Cons

  • May feel too soft for runners preferring a firmer, more responsive shoe.
  • The focus on cushioning might not be ideal for speed-focused training.
  • While durable, the mesh upper's longevity in extreme conditions may vary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Brooks Glycerin 23 trainers are ready to wear right out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed primarily for road running and general fitness activities. They are suitable for adult female runners of all levels who prioritize cushioning and comfort.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: To clean, remove laces and insoles. Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cold water to gently scrub the upper and midsole. Avoid harsh detergents or soaking the shoes.
  2. Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid leaving them in damp or excessively warm environments.
