Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Glycerin 22 is a premium road-running shoe designed for adult runners who prioritize maximum comfort and impact protection during high-mileage efforts ranging from 10k to full marathons. Featuring advanced DNA Tuned nitro-injected foam and a wide, stable platform, it excels at providing smooth transitions and an accommodating fit for various foot shapes; however, runners seeking a lightweight, high-speed racing flat may find its 274g weight and plush construction better suited for training than competitive sprinting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience with the Glycerin 22, ensure you are wearing the correct size; the Linear Last provides extra room, so your standard running shoe size should feel notably more spacious than in more narrow models. If you use custom orthotics, remove the stock insole to allow for proper volume management. For care, avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as this can degrade the specialized DNA Tuned foam and the jacquard knit structure. Instead, wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the foam.
