Yes, the wide platform and Guiderails technology provide the necessary stability and support for runners with flat feet or overpronation.
Can I use these for speed work?

The Brooks Glycerin 22 features a 10mm drop.
How do I know if I need the GTS version?
The GTS (Go-To Support) version includes Guiderails technology specifically designed for runners who need additional support to keep their knees and hips aligned.
How long should these shoes last?
Typically, these running shoes are rated for 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface, body weight, and foot strike pattern.
Are the materials sustainable?
Yes, the upper is constructed using 61.3% recycled materials.
Troubleshooting
Heel slipping while running
Try the 'runner's loop' lacing technique to create a tighter lock around the ankle collar.
Upper material showing premature wear
Ensure your toenails are trimmed short to prevent internal abrasion of the jacquard knit.
Cushioning feels stiff out of the box
The nitro-injected foam may require a break-in period of 20-30 miles to reach optimal responsiveness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Glycerin 22, ensure you have the correct size for your gait cycle, as the knit upper provides a forgiving fit but requires proper lockdown via the laces. These shoes are compatible with various aftermarket orthotics if additional arch support is needed. For care, avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the specialized DNA Tuned foam. Instead, clean the upper with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. If the shoes become soaked during a run, remove the insoles and stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture, allowing them to air-dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
