Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Glycerin 23 trainers are designed for adult male runners seeking exceptional comfort and smooth transitions, particularly for training and long-distance running. Their key benefit lies in the updated DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, providing an extra-soft feel underfoot. A potential caveat is that while designed for comfort, serious runners might find the cushioning slightly less responsive for high-intensity speed work.

FAQs
Who is the Brooks Glycerin 23 designed for?
The Brooks Glycerin 23 is designed for adult runners, particularly males in this variant, who prioritize soft cushioning and comfort for training and long-distance running.
What is the main benefit of the DNA LOFT v3 cushioning?
The main benefit is its exceptionally soft feel underfoot, providing superior comfort and reducing impact on joints during runs.
How does the upper provide a good fit?
The renewed engineered mesh upper is designed to adapt to the foot, offering a secure and ventilated fit that prevents slipping and keeps feet cool.
Are these shoes suitable for speedwork?
While comfortable, the primary focus is on soft cushioning for endurance. Runners seeking a highly responsive feel for fast-paced speedwork might consider other models.
How often should I replace my Glycerin 23 trainers?
It's generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300-500 miles, but this can vary based on your running habits, weight, and the surfaces you run on.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the shoe's materials and construction. Hand wash with mild soap and cold water, then air dry.
What does 'UK 13' refer to?
'UK 13' refers to the United Kingdom sizing standard for adult male footwear.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks. Check the lacing for tightness; loosen if too restrictive, or tighten if there's too much foot movement. Allow a break-in period for the shoes to mold to your feet.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
While DNA LOFT v3 is durable, cushioning does degrade with extensive use. Consider replacing the trainers after 300-500 miles, depending on running surface and individual wear patterns.
Excessive sweat or heat
The engineered mesh offers ventilation, but extreme conditions might still lead to heat. Ensure socks are moisture-wicking. Clean the shoes to maintain optimal breathability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box, requiring no specific setup. They are compatible with standard athletic socks. To care for your Brooks Glycerin 23 trainers:
- Cleaning: Remove excess dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cold water with a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Air dry the trainers naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
