Product Information

Full details

The Brooks Glycerin 22 GTS is a premium stability running shoe designed for adult female runners who require plush, nitrogen-infused cushioning coupled with advanced support technology. Its standout feature is the DNA Tuned midsole and GuideRails system, which offer a soft landing and controlled stride, though its 299g weight and wider base may feel bulkier to runners seeking a minimalist or lightweight speed trainer.

FAQs

What is the heel-to-toe drop of the Glycerin 22 GTS?

The shoe features a standard 10mm drop.

Is the Glycerin 22 GTS suitable for flat feet?

Yes, the GuideRails system is designed to provide stability for over-pronators and those who need extra arch support.

How heavy is the shoe?

The weight of the Glycerin 22 GTS is approximately 299g.

Can I use custom orthotics with these shoes?

Yes, the internal volume and padding allow for the use of most standard custom orthotic insoles.

Is the upper material waterproof?

No, the Double Jacquard Warp Knit is designed for maximum breathability and does not feature waterproofing.

How often should I replace these shoes?

We recommend replacing them every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style and the surface you run on.

Troubleshooting

Feeling pressure on the top of the foot

Try skipping the bottom lace eyelets or using a different lacing technique, such as the window-lacing method.

Upper feels too tight or restricted

Ensure the knit material is not pulled too taut during the lacing process; the warp knit is designed to accommodate foot swelling.

Excessive wear on the outsole

Check your running gait for heavy heel striking or dragging; if the rubber wears unevenly, consult a local running shop for a gait analysis.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptionally soft, nitrogen-infused cushioning
  • Effective stability through the GuideRails system
  • Highly breathable knit upper for temperature regulation
  • Stable, wide base platform
  • Padded interior reduces friction and pressure points

Cons

  • Heavier than lightweight racing trainers
  • The wider base profile may not suit every runner's foot shape
  • Increased stability features can feel bulkier

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best performance from your Glycerin 22 GTS, start by loosening the laces fully before inserting your foot to prevent premature strain on the heel counter. The traditional lacing system is designed to provide a secure lockdown, so adjust from the bottom up to ensure an even distribution of pressure across the midfoot.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Wipe away loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid fully submerging the shoes in water.
  • Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or dryers, which can damage the nitrogen-infused foam.
  • Replacement: Depending on surface types and intensity, consider replacing your shoes every 300 to 500 miles to maintain the effectiveness of the midsole cushioning and support structure.
