FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?
Yes, the Glycerin 22 is a neutral shoe with a broad platform that provides excellent stability and cushioning for various arch types.
Can I use these for marathon training?
Absolutely. The maximum cushioning is specifically designed to handle high-mileage training blocks and protect your joints during long runs.
How long should the cushioning last?
Typically, you can expect the DNA Tuned cushioning to maintain its integrity for 300-500 miles, depending on your running surface and body weight.
Is this shoe machine washable?
No. Machine washing can compromise the structural integrity of the knit upper and the chemical bonds in the midsole foam.
What is the primary difference between the Glycerin and the Glycerin GTS?
The GTS model includes Brooks' GuideRails support technology for runners who need additional stability for pronation control, whereas the standard Glycerin is a pure neutral shoe.
Troubleshooting
Foot movement or sliding inside the shoe
Try a 'runner's loop' lacing technique to secure the heel lock and ensure the laces are snug, though not constricting.
Midsole feeling stiff out of the box
The DNA foam requires a short break-in period of 20-30 miles to fully adapt to your gait and soften to its optimal performance state.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Glycerin 22, ensure you have the correct size and width for your foot shape, as the knit upper is designed to accommodate various volumes.
Care Instructions:
- Wipe down the upper with a damp cloth if exposed to mud or dirt.
- Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent midsole compression damage.
- Remove the sockliner after wet runs to help the interior dry completely.
- Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as high temperatures can break down the adhesives and foam properties.
