Product Information

Full details

The Brooks Glycerin GTS 23 trainers are designed for adult female runners seeking maximum softness and reliable support. Their key benefit is the combination of plush, nitrogen-infused cushioning with a GuideRails support system to help maintain a stable stride, ideal for daily runs and long distances. A potential caveat is that the supportive nature of the GuideRails may not be preferred by runners who exclusively need a neutral shoe. These trainers feature advanced cushioning, a breathable upper, and a durable outsole.

FAQs

What is the main difference between Glycerin GTS and Glycerin neutral models?

The 'GTS' in Glycerin GTS stands for 'Go-To Support'. These models feature the GuideRails support system to help manage excessive inward foot roll (overpronation), while the neutral Glycerin models do not include this support feature and are designed for runners with a neutral gait.

How do I know if the GuideRails system is right for me?

If you experience knee pain during or after runs, or if you've been told you overpronate, the GuideRails system can be beneficial. It's designed to offer support without being overly rigid, helping to keep your body in a more natural motion path.

What is the expected lifespan of the Brooks Glycerin GTS 23?

The lifespan of running shoes typically depends on usage, terrain, and runner's biomechanics. For the Glycerin GTS 23, expect optimal performance for approximately 300-500 miles (480-800 km).

Are these shoes suitable for walking?

Yes, the significant cushioning and comfortable fit make the Glycerin GTS 23 suitable for walking. However, their design is optimized for the specific demands of running.

Can I wear these shoes in the rain?

The engineered mesh upper offers some protection, but it is not waterproof. They are suitable for running in light rain, but prolonged exposure or heavy rain may result in wet feet. For heavy rain, waterproof running shoes are recommended.

What kind of socks work best with these trainers?

Moisture-wicking running socks made from synthetic materials or merino wool blends are recommended to complement the breathability of the upper and help prevent blisters.

Does the color affect the shoe's performance?

No, the color of the shoe does not affect its performance, cushioning, or support features. Different colors are purely aesthetic choices.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or constrictive.

Loosen the laces, especially around the midfoot, and re-lace them to a more comfortable tension. Ensure you have the correct size; consider trying a half-size larger if persistent discomfort occurs.

Slight rubbing or irritation on heel or ankle.

Ensure socks are pulled up correctly. The padded collar and tongue should provide comfort, but breaking in the shoes gradually may help. Check lacing to ensure it's not too tight in the ankle area.

Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time.

Running shoe cushioning naturally degrades with mileage. Consider replacing your shoes after approximately 300-500 miles (480-800 km) of use, or when you notice a significant loss in comfort and support.

Lack of traction on wet surfaces.

While the outsole is designed for grip, very wet or slick surfaces can reduce traction. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris. For extreme wet conditions, consider shoes specifically designed for wet-weather traction.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional softness and cushioning for comfort on long runs.
  • Integrated GuideRails provide excellent stability for overpronators.
  • Highly breathable upper keeps feet cool and dry.
  • Smooth transitions from heel to toe enhance running efficiency.
  • Durable outsole offers reliable traction and longevity.

Cons

  • May feel too supportive for runners who prefer a purely neutral shoe.
  • The focus on softness might slightly reduce ground feel for some runners.
  • Weight (308g) may be a consideration for competitive runners seeking minimalist shoes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Brooks Glycerin GTS 23 requires no specific setup. Simply ensure they are the correct size and lace them up comfortably for your run. The traditional lacing system allows for a customizable fit across the midfoot.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for running on roads and moderate trails. They are suitable for adult runners of all experience levels who benefit from a cushioned and supportive shoe.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: To clean, use a mild soap and cold water with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid harsh detergents and abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
  4. Laundering: It is generally not recommended to machine wash or dry running shoes, as it can compromise their structure and cushioning.
