FAQs
Is the Glycerin 22 suitable for flat feet?
Yes, the Glycerin 22 offers a wide, stable platform that provides support for various arch types, including flat feet.
How many miles can I expect from these shoes?
Generally, running shoes in this category provide optimal cushioning for 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and gait.
Does this shoe feature the Guiderails support system?
Yes, the Glycerin 22 utilizes integrated Guiderails technology to provide stability and support by keeping excess movement in check.
Can I use these for speed workouts?
While the shoe is very comfortable, it is designed for endurance and comfort rather than speed. You may find more responsive, lighter options for track intervals.
Are these shoes vegan-friendly?
The upper contains 61.3% recycled materials, though specific manufacturing processes for adhesives may vary. Please consult the Brooks sustainability page for full material transparency.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The Glycerin 22 features a standard 10mm heel-to-toe drop, which helps promote a smooth transition for heel and midfoot strikers.
Troubleshooting
Upper feels tight across the midfoot
Try adjusting the lacing pattern to a 'window lacing' style to relieve pressure while maintaining a secure heel lock.
Foam feels stiff in cold temperatures
The nitrogen-injected foam may firm up in near-freezing conditions; allow the shoes to warm up indoors before your run to restore original cushioning properties.
Heel slipping while walking or running
Utilize the extra eyelet at the top of the lacing system to create a runner's knot, which secures the heel more firmly against the back of the shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience with your Glycerin 22, it is recommended to wear the shoes with appropriate technical moisture-wicking socks to prevent friction. When the shoes become dirty, gently clean them using a soft-bristle brush, warm water, and a mild detergent. Avoid machine washing or drying, as the heat can compromise the integrity of the foam cushioning and adhesives. Remove the insoles periodically to allow the interior to air out, and store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent premature material degradation. If you use custom orthotics, ensure you remove the factory insole first to maintain the intended volume and support structure.
