Product Information

Full details

The Brooks Glycerin 22 GTS is a premium stability trainer designed for neutral runners and those who over-pronate and require extra support. It provides a plush, nitrogen-infused cushioning experience that maximizes comfort during long runs while the integrated GuideRails technology helps maintain natural alignment. While the shoe offers exceptional stability and comfort, its weight and highly cushioned profile may feel less responsive to runners preferring a lightweight, minimalist racing flat.

FAQs

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

The shoe features a 10mm drop, which provides a traditional heel-to-toe offset.

Is this shoe suitable for flat feet?

Yes, the GuideRails technology and wider base provide excellent stability for those with flat feet or over-pronation.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the integrity of the foam and the structure of the upper. Spot clean only.

How much does the shoe weigh?

The shoe weighs approximately 299g.

Is the Glycerin 22 GTS a neutral shoe?

It is a stability shoe; while it offers comfort suitable for many, it is specifically engineered with GuideRails to provide added support for those who over-pronate.

Troubleshooting

Foot slipping inside the shoe

Ensure the laces are threaded through the top eyelet to create a 'runner's knot' or lock-in lacing pattern.

Feeling of excess heat during runs

Ensure you are using thin, moisture-wicking synthetic running socks rather than thick cotton socks to maximize the upper's breathability.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Supreme nitrogen-infused cushioning
  • Effective stability via GuideRails technology
  • Highly breathable knit upper
  • Stable wide-base platform
  • Excellent for high-mileage comfort

Cons

  • Heavier than speed-oriented trainers
  • Higher stack height may reduce ground feel
  • Not intended for fast-paced tempo sessions

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best performance from your Glycerin 22 GTS, start by loosening the traditional lacing system completely before putting the shoe on to allow the upper to accommodate your foot shape. Secure the laces snugly, but avoid overtightening the midfoot to maintain proper circulation.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush or a damp cloth with mild soap to remove dirt. Do not machine wash.
  • Drying: Always air dry at room temperature. Keep away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can degrade the midsole foam.
  • Replacement: Generally, expect to replace these trainers every 400–600 kilometers, depending on your running surface and body weight, to ensure the cushioning properties remain intact.
