Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Glycerin GTS 22 is designed for adult male runners seeking a premium balance of maximum cushioning and reliable stability. This road-running shoe excels at providing soft, energetic landings and smooth transitions thanks to its nitro-injected midsole, making it an excellent choice for daily mileage; however, runners preferring a lightweight, racing-flat feel may find the focus on plush comfort slightly bulkier than minimalist alternatives.

FAQs
What does GTS stand for in the Glycerin series?
GTS stands for Go-To Support, indicating that the shoe includes Brooks' proprietary GuideRails technology for extra stability.
Is this shoe suitable for trail running?
The Glycerin GTS 22 is optimized for road running; while it can handle light, flat paths, it is not designed for technical or rugged trail conditions.
How do I ensure the correct fit?
You should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to accommodate foot swelling during long runs.
Can I replace the insoles with custom orthotics?
Yes, the stock insoles are removable and can be replaced with personal orthotics if necessary.
How long should these shoes last?
Most runners find that the cushioning and support remain effective for between 300 to 500 miles, depending on your weight, running surface, and gait.
Is this a neutral or stability shoe?
The GTS model is a support shoe, designed for runners who need guidance to keep their gait aligned, as opposed to the standard neutral Glycerin.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels too tight in the toe box
Try adjusting the lacing pattern to a 'window lacing' style to relieve pressure over the forefoot.
Visible dirt on the Air Mesh upper
Use a soft-bristled brush or a slightly damp cloth to wipe the surface; do not soak the material.
Midsole foam feels less responsive after many miles
Running shoes typically lose structural integrity after 300-500 miles; if you are within this range, it may be time to retire the pair.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Glycerin GTS 22, properly tighten the laces using the eyelet lock if you experience heel slippage to ensure the Air Mesh upper conforms to your midfoot. Compatibility is best with standard road surfaces; avoid heavy trail use to prevent premature wear on the outsole's flex grooves. To care for the shoes, never put them in the washing machine or dryer, as extreme heat can degrade the cushioning foam. Instead, remove the sockliner and clean the outer mesh with a soft brush and mild soap, then allow them to air dry naturally away from direct sunlight.
