Full details
The Brooks Glycerin 22 trainers are designed for adult female runners seeking maximum cushioning and a highly adaptable fit for daily training. Featuring the innovative DNA Tuned foam, these shoes excel at absorbing impact and providing a smooth, effortless transition from heel to toe. While they offer exceptional comfort and support for those using custom orthotics, the added volume in the Linear Last construction may feel slightly spacious for runners with narrow feet.

FAQs
Is the Glycerin 22 suitable for flat feet?
Yes, the spacious Linear Last and the ability to accommodate orthotics make it a great option for runners with flatter arches.
Can I use these for speed training?
While these are designed for comfort and distance, their plush cushioning makes them less ideal for short, high-intensity speed intervals compared to a lighter, firmer racing shoe.
What is the difference between Glycerin and Glycerin GTS?
The standard Glycerin is for neutral runners, while the GTS (Go-To-Support) version includes GuideRails technology to provide extra stability for runners who tend to overpronate.
How long should these shoes last?
Typically, the cushioning in daily trainers like the Glycerin 22 is rated for 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and biomechanics.
Are these waterproof?
No, these are designed with breathable mesh materials for ventilation and are not waterproof.
Troubleshooting
Feeling too much movement inside the shoe
Try the 'runner's loop' or 'lock lace' lacing technique to secure the heel and midfoot more firmly.
Foam feels firmer than expected in cold weather
This is common with many foam compounds; allow the shoes to warm up to room temperature before wearing for a more compliant feel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best performance from your Glycerin 22s, ensure the laces are adjusted to lock the midfoot in place, especially given the extra volume of the Linear Last. If you wear custom orthotics, simply remove the factory sockliner before inserting your own. For care, keep these shoes away from high-heat sources like radiators, as this can degrade the foam properties. If they get muddy or wet, remove the liners, stuff the shoes with newspaper, and let them air dry in a well-ventilated space. Avoid machine washing to preserve the integrity of the adhesive and foam bonding.
