Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Glycerin 22 is designed for adult runners who prioritize maximum cushioning and long-distance comfort in their daily training. Featuring the innovative DNA Loft v3 foam, this shoe provides a plush, responsive ride that minimizes impact during high-mileage efforts. While it excels at providing a soft landing, users should note that the high-cushion stack height may feel less ground-connected for those who prefer racing flats or speed-focused minimalist footwear.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?
Yes, the Glycerin 22 is specifically engineered for long-distance training and provides the necessary cushioning to support feet during high-mileage weeks.
Can I use custom orthotics with the Glycerin 22?
Yes, the internal sockliner is removable, making it compatible with most aftermarket or custom orthotic inserts.
Is this shoe good for flat feet?
The Glycerin 22 provides neutral support. While very comfortable, those requiring significant stability for overpronation may want to look at the 'GTS' (Go-To-Support) version of the Glycerin.
How often should I replace these running shoes?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and body weight.
Is the upper waterproof?
No, the engineered warp knit is designed for breathability. It will not keep feet dry in heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Knit upper feels too loose after several miles
Try the 'runner's loop' or 'lock-down' lacing technique to secure the heel without overtightening the forefoot.
Visible dirt build-up in the knit mesh
Allow the dirt to dry completely and use a soft-bristled brush to gently flick the particles out of the weave.

- Smooth ride transition from heel strike to toe-off

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the lifespan of your Brooks Glycerin 22, ensure you have the correct size for your gait cycle, allowing roughly a thumb's width of space at the toe box. Compatibility with orthotics is generally good due to the removable sockliner. For care, avoid machine washing or drying, as this can break down the adhesives and foam properties. Instead, clean the upper with a soft brush and mild soap, and air dry them away from direct heat sources like radiators. If the shoes become soaked, remove the insoles and fill the shoes with crumpled newspaper to help draw out moisture while maintaining their shape.
