Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Glycerin GTS 22 is a premium, high-cushion running shoe designed for adult runners who prioritize joint support and plush comfort during daily training or long-distance runs. It features the signature nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, which provides an excellent blend of softness and energy return, though the added stability features may feel slightly firm for runners seeking a purely neutral, minimalist experience.

FAQs
What is the primary difference between the Glycerin and the Glycerin GTS?
The GTS model includes the GuideRails holistic support system, while the standard Glycerin is a neutral shoe without that specific stability technology.
Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?
Yes, the Glycerin GTS 22 is specifically designed for high-mileage training due to its durable cushioning and joint-supporting features.
Can I replace the insoles with custom orthotics?
Yes, the insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if preferred.
How long should I expect the cushioning to last?
Generally, running shoes of this caliber last between 300 to 500 miles, depending on your weight, running surface, and gait.
Are these machine washable?
It is not recommended to machine wash your shoes, as this can damage the structural integrity and the DNA LOFT v3 foam.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure on the top of the foot
Try adjusting the lacing technique to a 'window lacing' pattern to relieve pressure points.
Increased slipping on wet surfaces
Ensure the outsoles are clear of debris or dried mud, as built-up dirt significantly reduces the traction of the rubber compound.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Superior plush cushioning for high-mileage comfort
- GuideRails system provides reliable knee and joint protection
- Highly breathable upper material maintains foot temperature
- Stable base perfect for daily training and long distances
Cons
- Stability features might be unnecessary for neutral-only runners
- May feel bulkier than stripped-down racing shoes
- Higher price point reflects the advanced cushioning technology
Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you wear the same type of running socks you intend to use for your exercise when trying them on. The engineered warp knit upper is designed to accommodate various foot shapes, but users with wider feet may find the standard width snug due to the structured support.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Hand wash with mild soap and cold water. Remove the insole and allow it to air dry separately.
- Drying: Never place in a tumble dryer or use direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can degrade the cushioning foam and adhesive.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the knit upper and rubber outsole.
