Product Information

Full details

The Brooks Glycerin 22 GTS is a premium stability trainer designed for adult runners seeking maximum plush cushioning paired with reliable support. Its core strength lies in the nitrogen-infused DNA Tuned midsole and the signature GuideRails support system, which work together to create soft landings and stable, natural-feeling strides. While the shoe offers exceptional comfort and impact protection, its wider base and stability-focused engineering may feel too bulky for runners who prefer a lightweight or minimal racing shoe.

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the GuideRails system?

GuideRails are designed to support your feet by keeping excessive movement in check, which helps maintain a stable stride and reduces injury risk to the knees.

Is this shoe suitable for flat feet?

Yes, the GuideRails technology and the wider base provide the extra stability and motion control that many runners with flat feet find beneficial.

How heavy is the Brooks Glycerin 22 GTS?

The shoe weighs approximately 299g, making it a supportive, well-cushioned option for training rather than an ultra-lightweight racer.

Does the nitrogen-infused midsole go flat quickly?

No, DNA Tuned cushioning is engineered for durability and consistent energy return, though like all running shoes, performance will eventually decline after 300-500 miles.

Can I use these for trail running?

While the rubber outsole provides good traction, this shoe is specifically engineered for road surfaces and may not offer the protection or deep lugs required for technical trails.

How does the drop height affect my run?

The 10mm drop encourages a smooth heel-to-toe transition and is a standard offset for most daily trainers, providing a balanced feel for various foot-strike patterns.

Troubleshooting

Feeling pressure on the top of the foot

Loosen the traditional laces at the midfoot area or try a different lacing technique, such as the window lacing method, to alleviate pressure.

Heel slippage

Use the extra top eyelet to create a runner's loop (lace lock) to increase security around the ankle collar.

Upper material becoming dirty

Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry dirt; avoid harsh chemical cleaners which can damage the knit structure.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior impact absorption from nitrogen-infused cushioning
  • Supportive GuideRails technology reduces knee strain
  • Highly breathable knit upper for temperature regulation
  • Stable ride suitable for daily training
  • Secure fit with minimal slippage

Cons

  • May feel bulky for high-speed interval work
  • Heavier than lightweight neutral racing shoes
  • 10mm drop may not suit mid-foot strikers who prefer lower offsets

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best performance from your Glycerin 22 GTS, begin by adjusting the traditional lacing system to accommodate your specific foot volume; the padded tongue is designed to sit comfortably against the bridge of your foot once secured.

For care, avoid machine washing your trainers, as this can degrade the foam integrity and glue bonds. Instead, remove loose debris with a soft brush and wipe the knit upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators to maintain the elasticity of the upper and the performance of the nitrogen-infused midsole. If your insoles are removable, take them out between long runs to speed up the drying process and prevent moisture buildup.
