FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?
The Glycerin 22 offers a neutral platform. If you have severe pronation issues, you may want to look into the GTS (Go-To-Support) versions of the Glycerin line.
Can I use these for trail running?
These shoes are designed for road surfaces. The outsole lacks the aggressive lugs necessary for technical trail terrain.
How long should these trainers last?
Typically, these high-mileage trainers will maintain their performance characteristics for 300 to 500 miles, depending on runner weight and surface terrain.
Are they waterproof?
No, they feature an engineered mesh upper for maximum breathability and moisture management, but they are not waterproof.
Can I replace the insoles with custom orthotics?
Yes, the stock insoles are removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if required.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure points on the top of the foot
Try adjusting the lacing technique, such as using a window-lacing method to relieve pressure on the midfoot.
Excessive wear on the outsole after short duration
Check your running gait to ensure you are not dragging your feet, and confirm the shoe is being used primarily on road surfaces.
Shoes feel tight after a long run
Foot swelling is common during long-distance efforts; ensure you are wearing the correct size and try wearing thinner moisture-wicking socks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper care will extend the life of your Brooks Glycerin 22 trainers.
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, allow 15-20 miles for the midsole to adapt to your specific stride.
- Cleaning: Hand wash using a soft-bristle brush, mild soap, and cold water. Never machine wash or machine dry, as high heat can degrade the cushioning foam.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the mesh and foam from breaking down prematurely.
- Rotation: To maximize the lifespan of the DNA LOFT v3 foam, consider rotating these shoes with another pair to allow the cushioning to decompress between runs.
