FAQs
Are the Glycerin GTS 22 shoes good for overpronation?
Yes, the integrated GuideRails support system is specifically designed to stabilize the gait and assist those who experience excess movement or overpronation.
Can I use these for marathon running?
Absolutely, the cushioning and stability features make these a popular choice for long-distance road running.
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the structural integrity of the shoe. Stick to gentle hand cleaning with a damp cloth.
What is the difference between Glycerin and Glycerin GTS?
The GTS model includes the GuideRails support system, whereas the standard Glycerin is a neutral trainer without that specific stability feature.
How often should I replace these trainers?
It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300 to 500 miles, depending on the intensity of use and terrain.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure points on top of the foot
Try adjusting the lacing pattern to a 'window lacing' style to relieve pressure over the bridge.
Excessive movement or heel slippage
Use the extra top eyelet for a 'runner's loop' or heel lock lacing technique to secure the ankle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Brooks Glycerin GTS 22 trainers last as long as possible, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in: Wear the shoes for short intervals initially to allow the knit upper and foam to adapt to your foot shape.
- Sizing: These trainers are sized for adults; ensure you wear your standard athletic shoe size to accommodate for natural foot swelling during exercise.
- Cleaning: Hand wash the shoes with warm water and mild soap. Never machine wash or put them in the dryer, as this can break down the adhesives and midsole cushioning.
- Drying: Air dry only. Remove the insoles to speed up the drying process and avoid placing them near direct heat sources.
