FAQs
Is the Glycerin 23 a stability shoe?
No, the Glycerin 23 is a neutral trainer designed for runners who do not require extra medial posting for overpronation.
What is the difference between the Glycerin 23 and Glycerin GTS 23?
The GTS (Go-To-Support) version includes GuideRails technology for added support for those who overpronate, whereas the standard Glycerin 23 does not.
Can I use these for trail running?
The Glycerin 23 is designed primarily for road use; while it may handle light, packed paths, it lacks the aggressive tread needed for technical trail running.
How many miles should I expect from these shoes?
Typically, you can expect between 300 to 500 miles, though this varies based on your running surface, gait, and body weight.
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard adult athletic sizing, but it is recommended to have a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slippage in the heel
Try the 'runner's loop' lacing technique to secure the heel cup more firmly against the ankle.
Upper mesh feels tight after long runs
Feet naturally swell during exercise; try loosening the laces in the midfoot area before starting your run.
Outsole collecting debris
Use a dull tool or toothpick to gently remove small rocks or pebbles from the outsole tread patterns to maintain grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Glycerin 23 trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, wear them for shorter sessions for the first few days to allow the upper to conform to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft brush. Use a damp cloth with mild soap for localized stains. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or putting them in the washing machine.
- Drying: Air dry only. Do not place them near radiators or heaters, as high heat can degrade the cushioning material and warp the foam.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
