Product Information

Full details

The Brooks Glycerin 23 is a premium road running trainer designed for adult runners who prioritize maximum underfoot cushioning and long-distance comfort. Featuring an engineered mesh upper and a responsive rubber outsole, these trainers are ideal for daily training sessions where impact protection is key; however, those seeking a lightweight racing shoe may find the substantial cushioning profile slightly bulkier than minimalist alternatives.

FAQs

Are the Brooks Glycerin 23 shoes suitable for trail running?

These trainers are specifically designed for road and pavement surfaces. They may lack the aggressive traction and lateral stability required for uneven trail terrain.

How do I determine if these are the right size?

You should have approximately a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for natural foot swelling during exercise.

Can I replace the provided insole with custom orthotics?

Yes, the Ortholite insole is removable and can be replaced with custom-fit orthotics if required for your specific foot mechanics.

How many miles should I expect from these shoes?

Generally, running shoes maintain their cushioning integrity for 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running gait, body weight, and the surfaces you frequent.

Is the Glycerin 23 a stability shoe?

The standard Glycerin 23 is a neutral trainer. If you require extra support, look for the 'GTS' (Go-To Support) version which includes GuideRails technology.

Troubleshooting

Feeling of slippage inside the shoe

Ensure the laces are secured using the eyelets correctly and consider a 'runner's loop' lacing technique to lock the heel in place.

Insole sliding or moving

Remove the Ortholite insole, clean any debris from the footbed, and ensure it is placed flat before reinserting.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior underfoot cushioning for joint protection
  • Breathable mesh upper maintains foot temperature
  • Consistent and smooth heel-to-toe transitions
  • High-quality insole provides immediate step-in comfort

Cons

  • Not intended for high-speed racing or track sprinting
  • May feel heavy for runners who prefer minimalist footwear
  • Primary focus on road surfaces rather than trail environments

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure optimal longevity of your Glycerin 23 trainers, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  1. Initial Break-in: Wear the shoes for short intervals initially to allow the cushioning to mold to your foot anatomy.
  2. Cleaning: Remove excess dirt with a soft brush and clean the upper using mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or drying.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent foam degradation.
  4. Air Drying: If the shoes become wet, remove the insoles and stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture, allowing them to air dry naturally.
