Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Glycerin 22 is an ideal trainer for runners who prioritize maximum cushioning and a plush, supportive ride for daily miles. Its nitrogen-infused midsole technology provides an exceptional balance of softness and energy return, making it perfect for long-distance training or recovery runs. While it excels in comfort, users should note that the high-cushion stack height may feel less ground-responsive compared to dedicated racing flats or minimalist footwear.

FAQs
Is the Brooks Glycerin 22 suitable for flat feet?
Yes, the wide platform and stable midsole provide a supportive foundation that works well for many runners with flat feet or overpronation.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While excellent for running and walking, the high, plush stack height may feel less stable for heavy lifting or lateral-movement gym exercises.
How many miles can I expect from these shoes?
Typically, you can expect between 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface, body weight, and gait.
Does the upper stretch over time?
The engineered mesh is designed to be adaptive, but it will maintain its structural integrity better than traditional woven fabrics.
Are these waterproof?
No, the Glycerin 22 is designed for maximum breathability and will not repel water; they will get wet in heavy rain.
What is the weight of the shoe?
The Glycerin 22 is designed as a lightweight trainer despite its high cushion, balancing weight reduction with soft materials.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping at the heel
Try a 'runner's loop' or heel-lock lacing technique to secure the ankle collar firmly.
Midsole feeling 'dead' or compressed
Ensure the shoes have 24-48 hours to recover between runs, allowing the nitrogen-infused foam to decompress.
Upper material showing premature wear
Check your toenail length and ensure you are using the correct size; excessively long nails can puncture the mesh from the inside.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Glycerin 22 trainers, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, perform a few shorter runs to allow the foam to adapt to your specific foot pressure.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after muddy runs. If necessary, clean the upper using mild soap and cool water. Avoid submerging the shoes or using a washing machine.
- Air Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature. Never place them in a tumble dryer or near a direct heat source like a radiator, as this can warp the foam and compromise the glue.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent UV degradation of the midsole material.
