Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Glycerin 22 is designed for adult runners and fitness enthusiasts seeking premium underfoot cushioning and a highly accommodating fit. Its primary benefit is the innovative DNA Tuned foam, which provides exceptional impact protection for a smooth ride during daily training or long-distance efforts; however, those who prefer a firm, responsive racing shoe may find the soft, plush feel of this model less suitable for high-speed interval work.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for walking?

Troubleshooting
Heel slippage while running
Try the 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' lacing technique to secure the ankle collar more firmly.
Insole sliding during activity
Ensure the insole is pressed completely flat into the footbed; if it continues to shift, ensure there is no debris underneath.
Foam feeling compressed after a run
Give the nitrogen-infused DNA foam at least 24 hours to recover its shape between long runs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your Glycerin 22, ensure you are wearing the correct sock thickness to match the extra volume of the shoe. When using orthotics, remove the factory-supplied insole entirely before inserting your custom pair. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud or debris from the outsole. Use a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe the upper; avoid submerging the shoes in water or putting them in a washing machine, as high heat and detergent can break down the adhesives and the integrity of the foam cushioning. Always air dry your trainers away from direct heat sources like radiators.
