Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Glycerin GTS 22 is a premium stability trainer designed for adult runners who require extra support without sacrificing cushioning or comfort. Its core benefit is a smooth, stable ride that corrects overpronation, though it may feel slightly bulkier compared to lightweight racing flats. Featuring a redesigned sole for improved flexibility and an engineered mesh upper, this shoe is perfect for daily high-mileage training sessions where foot security and breathability are essential.

FAQs
What does 'GTS' stand for in this model?
GTS stands for 'Go-To Support,' which is Brooks' signature technology for providing stability to runners who overpronate.
Are these shoes suitable for trails?
The Glycerin GTS 22 is optimized for road and paved surfaces. They are not recommended for technical trail running.
Can I remove the insoles to use my own?
Yes, the insoles in the Glycerin GTS 22 are removable to accommodate custom orthotics.
How often should I replace these shoes?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and weight.
Is the upper material waterproof?
No, the engineered Air Mesh is designed specifically for maximum breathability and is not waterproof.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure or hot spots on top of the foot
Try a different lacing technique, such as the window lacing method, to relieve pressure on the midfoot.
Outsole losing grip on wet surfaces
Ensure the tread is free of packed dirt or small stones; if the rubber is worn smooth, it may be time to replace the shoes.
Heel slippage while running
Use the extra eyelet at the top of the shoe to create a 'runner's loop' for a more secure heel lock.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Glycerin GTS 22, it is recommended to rotate them with another pair of shoes to allow the cushioning foam to recover. For cleaning, remove mud or debris with a soft brush and use a damp cloth with mild soap; never submerge them in water or place them in a washing machine. Regarding compatibility, these shoes are designed for standard adult foot shapes; ensure you use running-specific socks to prevent friction and maximize the benefits of the breathable mesh upper. If you utilize custom orthotics, the factory insole is removable, allowing for easy integration of your medical inserts.
