Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Glycerin 22 is designed for adult male runners seeking a premium, cushioned experience for daily training and recovery runs. Its standout feature is the proprietary DNA Tuned foam, which provides exceptional impact protection and comfort for long-distance efforts. While highly supportive and spacious enough for custom orthotics, the added volume of the Linear Last construction may feel too loose for runners who prefer a locked-in, racing-style fit.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?
Yes, the Glycerin 22 offers a neutral, cushioned platform that accommodates various foot shapes, including flat feet, and works well with custom orthotics.
Can I use these for marathon training?
Absolutely. They are specifically built to handle the high mileage and impact protection required for long-distance training blocks.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300-500 miles, depending on your weight, running surface, and individual gait mechanics.
Is this a stability shoe?
The standard Glycerin 22 is a neutral running shoe. If you require significant stability features, look for the 'GTS' (Go-To Support) version which includes GuideRails technology.
How should I clean the DNA Tuned foam?
Wipe the foam midsole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Never submerge the shoes fully or put them in the laundry.
Troubleshooting
Feeling a lack of heel lockdown
Try using the extra top eyelet to create a runner's loop (lace lock) to tighten the collar around your ankle.
Excessive dirt or mud accumulation
Allow mud to dry completely and gently brush it off with a soft-bristled brush before using a damp cloth.
Foam feels unresponsive after many miles
Rotate your shoes to allow the foam 24-48 hours to decompress and recover between long runs.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Superior impact protection from DNA Tuned foam
- Generous fit suitable for those needing extra room or orthotics
- Smooth and intuitive heel-to-toe transitions
- Versatile for both recovery jogs and steady-state mileage
Cons
- Volume-heavy design may feel bulky to some runners
- Not intended for high-speed racing or track interval sessions
- Limited to road-focused surfaces; not ideal for technical trails
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best performance from your Glycerin 22s, ensure the lacing system is adjusted to accommodate the added internal volume; utilizing the "runner's loop" at the top eyelet can help secure the heel if you find the fit too roomy. The shoe is fully compatible with most standard and custom-molded orthotics due to the generous depth of the footbed. Regarding care, avoid machine washing or drying, as this can break down the adhesives and foam properties. Instead, clean the exterior with a soft brush and mild soap, then allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the cushioning materials.
