Full details

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for people with flat feet?
Yes, the Glycerin 22 features a neutral support profile and a generous internal volume that works well for many foot types, including those who need to insert their own orthotics.
How do I know if I need the GTS version instead?
The GTS (Go-To Support) version includes GuideRails technology for extra stability. If you notice your feet or ankles rolling inward significantly, the GTS version may be a better choice.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While excellent for walking and running, the high-cushion stack height may provide less stability for heavy weightlifting or lateral-movement-heavy gym classes.
How long should these trainers last?
Typically, these trainers are rated for 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and biomechanics.
Is the Glycerin 22 waterproof?
No, the engineered mesh upper is designed for maximum breathability rather than water resistance.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure on the top of the foot
Try an alternative lacing technique, such as the window lacing method, to relieve pressure on the midfoot.
Heel slipping while walking or running
Use the extra eyelet at the top of the lacing system to create a 'runner's loop' or heel lock for a more secure fit.
Pros and Cons

- Versatile internal fit accommodates orthotics

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Brooks Glycerin 22 trainers last, start by ensuring the laces are tightened evenly across the eyelets to maintain the intended structure of the upper. If you utilize custom orthotics, remove the existing sockliner before inserting your own to ensure the Linear Last construction maintains its volume.
Care Instructions:
- Hand wash using mild soap and a soft brush.
- Remove the insole and allow both to air dry in a well-ventilated area.
- Avoid direct heat or tumble dryers, as high temperatures can degrade the nitrogen-infused midsole foam.
- Do not machine wash.
