Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Glycerin 22 is an ideal choice for neutral runners seeking a high-cushion, plush ride for daily training. Designed to minimize impact through advanced nitrogen-infused foam technology, these trainers provide excellent comfort for long-distance runs and recovery sessions, though their focus on maximum cushioning may feel slightly heavier for those preferring minimalist racing flats.

FAQs
Is the Brooks Glycerin 22 suitable for flat feet?
Yes, the shoe features a neutral build and a wider fit due to the Linear Last, which can accommodate various foot shapes and orthotics effectively.
Can I use these for trail running?
These are designed as road trainers; while they provide great comfort on pavement, they lack the aggressive lugs and protection needed for technical trail terrain.
How long do these shoes typically last?
Depending on your weight, running surface, and intensity, the Glycerin 22 typically provides excellent performance for 300 to 500 miles.
Is this a stability shoe?
No, the Glycerin 22 is categorized as a neutral trainer designed for runners who do not require extra medial arch support.
How do I check my size for Brooks?
The Glycerin 22 follows standard UK sizing conventions. We recommend trying them on in the afternoon when your feet are slightly swollen to replicate running conditions.
Troubleshooting
Heel slipping during runs
Try using a runner's loop (heel lock lacing technique) to secure the ankle collar against your foot.
Upper material showing early signs of wear
Ensure you are using the correct shoe size to avoid excessive friction against the inner fabric from protruding toes.
Foam feels firmer than expected
The DNA Tuned foam may require a short 'break-in' period of 20-30 miles for the nitrogen cells to soften and adapt to your stride.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, verify your UK size against your previous running footwear as the Glycerin 22 offers a more spacious forefoot than previous generations. If you use custom orthotics, remove the stock insole before inserting your own to ensure proper seating. For cleaning, wipe down the nylon-based upper with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can degrade the integrity of the nitrogen-infused foam. Air dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area to maintain the longevity of the materials.
