Brooks Glycerin 22
The Glycerin 22 debuts Brooks's DNA Tuned midsole in the standard Glycerin: larger, softer foam cells in the heel and smaller, responsive cells in the forefoot. The result is a plush premium trainer that soaks up easy and long-run miles while feeling less mushy than earlier Glycerins.
Reach for the Brooks Glycerin 22 for everyday training miles, long runs and easy recovery days. It's a neutral shoe, best for runners with an efficient stride who don't need pronation support. The tall, soft stack favors comfort over ground feel. That's great for high mileage and bigger runners, less so for racing snappiness.
- Plush yet controlled DNA Tuned cushioning
- Premium, comfortable upper
- Smooth heel landing for high-mileage training
- A bit heavy for faster days
- Premium price for a daily trainer
