About this style

The Glycerin 22 trainers from Brooks are designed with road running in mind. They're made in a flexible lace-up style, with breathable mesh uppers for lasting freshness. The brand's DNA Tuned nitrogen-infused cushioning soaks up shocks to protect your joints. Small cells in the toes make for energising toe-offs, while larger cells in the heels ensure plush landings.

Lightweight and stable

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Glycerin 22s were my first pair of Brooks running shoes after being a lifelong New Balance user. I have used my Glycerin 22s for the past 3+ months for all of my road runs of between 3-9 miles and I have been so happy with them I am looking forward to my next pair of Glycerin's when the time comes. Overall, the fit is consistent with other running shoes, I sized up a whole size (I wear a 9.5 in dress shoes and 10.5 in running shoes). The shoes are light but have sufficient support that I don't feel like there is a compromise in the stability of the shoe in exchange for weight. Also, I really like the laces. The laces are lightweight but also feel like they hold up really well during runs. All together, I love the Glycerin 22s!

The Glycerine 22 is my favorite running shoe

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Brooks Glycerine 22 is my favorite running and walking shoe because it’s comfortable enough to wear all day and provides great support and cushioning.

Great Shoes!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the Brooks Glycerin 22! The cushioning is soft and comfortable without feeling unstable. They’re great for both running and walking. They fit true to size. I would definitely buy them again.

Go to a store first to make sure of size

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shoe didn't fit the same way as my 1st pair, both the same size but not the same fit. My feet feel sore and tired by the end of a work day I do like the cushion and shoe just need to probably get different size

The best walking shoe

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A clear winner. I walk a lot at trade shows, and I have tried many of the other top brands that claim their shoes are good for walking, but the Brooks Glycerin 22 is clearly my go-to from now on. I have 4 pairs

Good for the first couple of wears

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So at first I love them. This is my third pair, but the big toe is starting to indent and it’s really hurting my big toe. It makes me sad cause they’re expensive and I kind of feel defeated lol I wish I had another pair or maybe they’re too big.

Very comfortable. Unfortunate I had my foot ran over by a car and the Cushioning left me with only soreness. I will keep buying more as they are very well put together.

Nice comfy jogger, not for competitive running

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall very comfortable right out of the box, no break in needed. I am now older and no longer doing competitive racing so these are perfect shoe for fitness jogs and walks. My only complaint is there are some sharp seams in the toe box that are uncomfortable when going downhill. Seems like they could smooth it out a little more

True believer.

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So hard the truth. I first tried these on after a day of abusing my feet. I was disappointed. They fit too well. The next day put 5 miles on them and they’re now a permanent part of my running shoe rotation. Which is now all 100% Brooks. Guess I’m now a true believer.

Back from the dead

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shoe has been a game changer for me. Backstory: I rolled my ankle in Dec 2025 (badly- walking boot, brace, the works) and couldn’t walk or run for several weeks. Decided to try a new shoe and this one fit the mold. It’s supportive, springy, soft, light. When I wear this shoe I can’t tell I even hurt my ankle. Still rehabbing the ankle but this shoe has significantly brought me back.

Love it so much I bought 2.

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this shoe. I have had several foot issues this last year, and I was looking for a neutral shoe with good cushion. I found it in the Glycercin 22, and I bought a second pair.

Perfect

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I always have trouble finding the right fit. My flat wide feet are a curse but these were perfection right out of the box: great support, a roomy toe box and ideal ventilation.

Love them!

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great shoes. Glycerin and Ghost are my must-haves for cushion all day when I'm on my feet. Now I'm buying for friends and family to turn them onto Brooks. I think back to my days of working long shifts in uncomfortable shoes and I cringe- what was I thinking?! It should be noted, I wear a 9.5 wide in women's, and I do a 9 regular in men's. Both sizes are great.

Stylish and sturdy

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Glycerin 22 is my go to shoe for my daily runs. This Glycerin shoe provides enough support and cushion for my feet and it is stylish too. They also last. They are a pricey shoe but I get my moneys worth out of them because they last and last.
