Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Glycerin 22 is designed for neutral runners seeking maximum comfort and impact protection during long-distance training on asphalt. Featuring advanced DNA Tuned nitrogen-infused cushioning, this shoe offers a plush, stable ride that supports consistent mileage. While it provides excellent volume for various foot shapes and orthotics, its substantial cushioning profile may feel less responsive to runners who prefer a firm, minimalist ground feel.

FAQs
Is the Brooks Glycerin 22 suitable for stability needs?
No, the Glycerin 22 is classified as a neutral shoe. If you require significant arch support or correction for overpronation, consult a professional to see if your orthotics fit this model.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The Brooks Glycerin 22 has a 10 mm drop, which is standard for traditional training shoes.
Can I use these for trail running?
These shoes are designed specifically for asphalt and concrete; the outsole grip and upper protection are not optimized for loose trail terrain.
How long should these shoes last?
Typical mileage for a high-cushion trainer is between 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running form and the surfaces you frequent.
Are they true to size?
Brooks generally fits true to size. The Glycerin 22 includes extra volume in the construction to accommodate different foot shapes.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping in the heel
Try the 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' lacing technique to secure the ankle collar against your foot.
Foam feeling hard after storage
Runners often find nitrogen-infused foam performs best at room temperature; let the shoes acclimate to your environment before wearing.
Pressure points on the top of the foot
Adjust the laces to bypass the eyelets directly over the pressure point to create more clearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Glycerin 22s, remove them promptly after runs and allow them to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources, which can degrade the foam. Because the Linear Last construction offers extra volume, these shoes are highly compatible with custom medical orthotics; simply remove the factory sock liner before inserting your own. For cleaning, wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid submerging them in water or using a washing machine, as high temperatures and agitation can damage the adhesive and structural integrity of the midsole.
