FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?
The Glycerin 22 is a neutral shoe. If you have flat feet and require significant arch support, you may need to insert your own specialized orthotics into the shoe.
Can I use these for trail running?
These are primarily designed for road and paved surface running. The outsole is not optimized for technical, uneven, or loose terrain.
How long should the foam last?
Typically, the cushioning in running shoes like the Glycerin series remains effective for 300 to 500 miles, depending on your weight, running style, and surface.
Is the sizing consistent with previous models?
The Glycerin 22 features a 'Linear Last' for more volume, which may result in a slightly more spacious feel compared to older, tighter-fitting models.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Measure your feet at the end of the day when they are at their largest to ensure the most comfortable fit during your runs.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure points near the midfoot
Try adjusting your lacing technique to a 'runner's loop' or loosen the laces slightly across the eyelets to take advantage of the Linear Last volume.
Foam feels damp after a rainy run
Remove the insole and stuff the shoes with newspaper or a dry cloth to absorb moisture; let them air dry in a well-ventilated area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience with your Glycerin 22, confirm your size fits with a thumb's width of space at the front of the shoe. If you use custom orthotics, the sculpted interior is designed to accommodate them comfortably. For maintenance, avoid machine washing; instead, spot clean the upper with mild soap and cold water. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to preserve the integrity of the foam cushioning.
