Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Glycerin 22 is a premium, high-cushion road running trainer designed for adult male runners seeking maximum comfort and smooth transitions during long-distance efforts. Featuring the innovative DNA Tuned nitro-injected midsole, it balances plush landings with a responsive toe-off, though runners preferring a lightweight, minimalist feel may find the heavy cushioning profile excessive for speed-focused workouts.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for a marathon?
Yes, the Glycerin 22 is specifically engineered for long-distance comfort and road running.
Can I use these for trail running?
They are designed primarily for roads. While they may handle groomed paths, they lack the aggressive lugs and protection needed for technical trail running.
How do I know if the UK 6.5 size fits me?
We recommend measuring your feet in the evening when they are at their largest and ensuring a thumb-width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Is the upper material breathable?
Yes, the engineered mesh upper provides significant airflow, helping to keep feet cool during long runs.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the standard inserts can be removed to accommodate custom orthotics if necessary.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure points on the top of the foot
Try an alternative lacing pattern such as a window lacing technique to relieve tension over the midfoot.
Midsole feels stiff after long storage
Runners may find that the DNA Tuned foam becomes more flexible after a few miles of use as the nitro-injected cells react to body heat and movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Glycerin 22 trainers, maintain a consistent cleaning routine. After muddy or dusty runs, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid submerging the shoes in water or using a washing machine, as this can degrade the foam integrity and glue bonds. Store them in a cool, dry area out of direct sunlight to prevent the midsole foam from compressing or hardening prematurely. If the shoes become wet inside, remove the liners and stuff them with newspaper to air-dry naturally away from artificial heat sources.
