Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Glycerin 22 is a premium neutral running shoe designed for runners who prioritize maximum cushioning and a smooth, plush ride. It is an ideal choice for road running, gym workouts, or daily cross-training, offering an accommodating fit for various foot shapes, including those requiring PDAC A5500 diabetic certification. While it excels in comfort and stability, it is a neutral platform, meaning runners seeking significant overpronation correction should look toward the GTS version of the series instead.

FAQs
Is the Glycerin 22 suitable for flat feet?
Yes, it is a neutral shoe that provides excellent cushioning, but if you require heavy arch support, consider consulting a podiatrist regarding the use of orthotics with this model.
How does this differ from the Glycerin GTS 22?
The standard Glycerin 22 is a neutral shoe, while the GTS (Go-To-Support) version includes GuideRails technology for those who need extra pronation control.
Can I use these for long-distance marathon training?
Absolutely. The high level of cushioning is designed specifically to maintain comfort over long distances.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
The jacquard knit is breathable rather than waterproof, so they will get wet in heavy rain.
How often should I replace these shoes?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and weight.
Troubleshooting
Heel slippage while running
Try the 'runner's loop' lacing technique to secure the heel more firmly in the collar.
Knit upper feels too tight or constrictive
Loosen the laces starting from the eyelet closest to the toes to allow the jacquard material to expand naturally.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, replace the factory laces with your preferred tension once you have broken in the shoe. As the upper is made of a double jacquard knit, it is susceptible to staining; spot clean with cold water and mild detergent only. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can compromise the integrity of the DNA midsole foam. If you use custom orthotics, the internal volume of the shoe is accommodating enough to handle most standard aftermarket insoles. Ensure the shoes are fully air-dried away from direct sunlight after any wet-weather activity to preserve the knit materials.
