Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Glycerin 22 is a premium, high-cushion road running shoe engineered for adult runners seeking maximum comfort during long-distance efforts ranging from 10k to marathons. By utilizing nitro-injected DNA Tuned foam and a wide, stable platform, this shoe provides excellent impact protection and smooth transitions for neutral runners. While its sophisticated cushioning offers an incredibly plush ride, the added volume and soft structure may feel too relaxed for runners who prefer a locked-in, race-day precision fit.

Troubleshooting
Feeling of slippage in the heel area
Try a runner's loop (lace lock) lacing technique to increase tension around the ankle collar.
Upper material showing signs of dirt
Gently clean the knit upper using a soft brush and mild soap, then allow to air dry away from heat.
Midsole foam feels less responsive after many miles
Allow the shoe to rest for 24-48 hours between runs to let the cushioning material recover its shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, verify your size as the Glycerin 22 has a more generous, high-volume fit compared to previous iterations. If you utilize custom orthotics, remove the stock Brooks sockliner before inserting your own to ensure the depth remains correct. For care, keep the shoes away from extreme heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can degrade the foam properties. If the shoes become wet, remove the insoles and stuff them with newspaper to air dry naturally in a cool area. Regularly brush off mud or dirt from the knit upper to maintain breathability and aesthetic longevity.
