Product Information

Full details

The Brooks Glycerin 22 is designed for adult runners who prioritize maximum cushioning and a plush, adaptive fit during daily training. This shoe features nitrogen-infused foam for soft landings, though its focus on high-volume comfort may feel less responsive for runners seeking a firm, stripped-back racing feel.

FAQs

Is the Glycerin 22 suitable for flat feet?

Yes, the shoe offers a neutral platform with significant internal volume, making it suitable for many with flat feet, especially when paired with supportive orthotics.

Can I use these for speed work?

While capable, the Glycerin 22 is engineered for maximum cushion and comfort rather than high-speed responsiveness. They are best for easy runs, long runs, and daily training.

How long should these shoes last?

Typically, the foam and outsole are designed to maintain their integrity for 300-500 miles, depending on your running style and surface conditions.

Are they waterproof?

No, the double jacquard knit upper is designed for maximum breathability and is not waterproof.

What is the difference between this and previous models?

The 22 series features the updated DNA Tuned nitrogen-infused foam for a more refined, adaptive softness compared to previous versions.

Troubleshooting

Upper feels too loose

Use the extra eyelet at the top of the lacing system to create a runner's loop, which secures the heel and midfoot.

Foam feels 'bottomed out'

Rotate your shoes to allow the foam to fully decompress for 24-48 hours between runs.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptionally soft and plush cushioning
  • High-volume fit accommodates wider feet and orthotics
  • Smooth heel-to-toe transitions
  • Breathable and flexible upper construction

Cons

  • Heavier than performance-oriented racing flats
  • Soft foam may lack the ground feel preferred by some runners
  • Not intended for technical trail terrain

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best performance from your Brooks Glycerin 22, confirm you have the correct size; the Linear Last provides a generous fit, so ensure your heel is locked in using the 'runner's loop' lacing technique if necessary. These shoes are fully compatible with most third-party orthotics. To clean, remove loose dirt with a soft brush and wipe the knit upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Never machine wash or tumble dry your trainers, as high heat can degrade the nitrogen-infused foam and adhesives. Allow them to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
