Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Glycerin 23 is a premium, neutral road-running shoe designed for runners who prioritize maximum cushioning and a smooth, fluid ride. Featuring nitrogen-infused DNA Tuned technology, these trainers offer a highly responsive experience for daily mileage or long-distance training sessions. While they excel in comfort and durability, runners seeking a lightweight, minimalist racing flat may find the substantial cushioning profile slightly bulkier than specialized speed shoes.

FAQs
Are the Glycerin 23 shoes suitable for flat feet?
These are neutral trainers. If you require significant arch support for flat feet, you may want to consult a professional for custom orthotics.
Can I use these for trail running?
While the outsole is durable, these are specifically designed for road surfaces; they may lack the aggressive lug depth required for technical trails.
How many miles can I expect from these shoes?
Generally, running shoes last between 300 and 500 miles depending on your running surface, gait, and body weight.
Is the upper waterproof?
No, the engineered mesh is designed for maximum breathability rather than water resistance.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the stock insoles are removable, allowing you to insert your own orthopedic inserts if needed.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping or feeling loose inside the shoe
Try the 'runner's loop' lacing technique to secure the heel lock and tighten the midfoot fit.
Excessive dirt accumulation in the mesh
Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently dislodge debris from the mesh pores after every outdoor run.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Glycerin 23 trainers, follow these maintenance practices:
- Break-in Period: Wear the shoes for short walks or light runs before committing to long-distance sessions to allow the mesh to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft brush. Use a damp cloth with mild soap for spot cleaning. Do not machine wash or dry, as this can degrade the foam integrity.
- Drying: Air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators, as excessive heat can deform the cushioning layers.
- Rotation: Rotate with another pair of running shoes to allow the foam to fully decompress between runs, extending the life of the nitrogen-infused material.
