FAQs
What is the difference between the Glycerin 22 and the Glycerin GTS 22?
The GTS model includes the GuideRails holistic support system, which is designed to provide extra stabilization, whereas the standard Glycerin 22 is a neutral shoe.
Is this shoe suitable for cross-training?
Yes, its broad platform provides the stability needed for most gym and cross-training activities.
How long should these shoes last?
Generally, running shoes like the Glycerin GTS 22 remain effective for 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style and surface conditions.
Can I use my own custom insoles?
Yes, the Glycerin GTS 22 features a removable sockliner that allows for the insertion of custom orthotics.
What does PDAC A5500 certification mean?
It means the shoe has been certified as safe for people with diabetes, ensuring it meets specific requirements for depth, width, and cushioning to prevent foot complications.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure points across the top of the foot
Try an alternative lacing pattern, such as skipping the eyelet where the pressure occurs or using a 'window' lacing technique.
Upper material appears slightly discoloured after outdoor use
Use a damp cloth with mild detergent to spot clean the knit; avoid using harsh chemicals or bleach which can degrade the synthetic fibres.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Glycerin GTS 22, it is recommended to allow the foam to decompress for 24 hours between heavy usage sessions. The double jacquard knit upper should be cleaned by hand using a soft brush and mild soap to avoid damaging the fabric structure; do not machine wash or dry the shoes, as high heat can compromise the adhesive and midsole integrity. If you wear custom orthotics, the internal volume is generally accommodating, but always verify the fit without the provided sockliner if necessary. Ensure the laces are tightened evenly to maintain the support provided by the integrated upper structure.
