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 — 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
