Product Information

Full details

The Brooks Glycerin 22 GTS is a premium stability running shoe designed for adult runners who prioritize maximum plush cushioning and structured support. It is an ideal choice for those who need to manage over-pronation while maintaining a soft, comfortable ride during high-mileage training; however, its emphasis on stability and weight-adding support features makes it less suitable for runners seeking a lightweight, minimalist racing flat.

FAQs

What is the drop of the Glycerin 22 GTS?

The shoe features a 10mm drop.

How much does the shoe weigh?

The shoe weighs approximately 299g.

Is this shoe suitable for flat feet?

Yes, the GuideRails support system is designed to help reduce over-pronation, which is common in runners with flat feet.

Can I use these for trail running?

These are primarily designed as road trainers. While the rubber outsole has good grip, the plush cushioning may be unstable on technical, uneven trail terrain.

How long should these shoes last?

Typically, running shoes provide optimal support and cushioning for 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and gait.

What is the difference between Glycerin and Glycerin GTS?

The GTS (Go-To-Support) version includes the GuideRails technology for added stability, whereas the standard Glycerin is designed as a neutral shoe.

Troubleshooting

Feeling pressure on the top of the foot

Adjust the tension of the laces. Try using a 'window' lacing technique to bypass the specific eyelet causing pressure.

Excessive moisture or overheating during long runs

Ensure you are using moisture-wicking synthetic running socks rather than cotton, which retains sweat.

Slippage in the heel area

Use the extra eyelet at the top of the shoe to create a 'runner’s loop' (heel lock) to secure the ankle more firmly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior impact absorption for joint protection
  • Highly breathable upper material for temperature regulation
  • Effective stability features for over-pronators
  • Plush, high-comfort internal fit
  • Durable outsole suitable for daily road running

Cons

  • Heavier than neutral performance models
  • Not intended for speed-focused racing
  • May feel too bulky for some runners

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best experience, secure the midfoot using the traditional lacing system, ensuring it is snug but not constricting to avoid pressure points.

Compatibility: This shoe is a high-volume, support-oriented trainer. It is best suited for road running or light gym activity. It is generally compatible with aftermarket orthotic insoles if you require custom arch support, provided you remove the stock sockliner first.

Care Instructions:

  • Clean by hand using a soft brush and mild soap and water.
  • Never machine wash or machine dry the shoes, as high heat can damage the nitrogen-infused midsole foam.
  • Air dry at room temperature away from direct sunlight.
  • Rotate your shoes daily to allow the cushioning foam to recover its shape after long runs.
