DESCRIPTION
The Brooks Glycerin 22, a neutral running shoe also available in the GTS version with Guiderail technology, features a nitrogen-infused DNA Loft v3 midsole. Its dual-layer foam construction ensures soft landings, energy return, and durability while offering a stable ride. With a 10mm heel-to-forefoot drop, the shoe provides a smoother midfoot landing experience compared to similar models. The snug fit of the updated upper, especially around the heel and midfoot, contrasts with the roomier Glycerin 21, while the toe box retains adequate wiggle room for most runners.
This iteration also boasts improved flexibility in the forefoot and consistent cushioning over extended use. Features include a padded heel cup, non-gusseted tongue, and additional lace holes for fit adjustments. Ideal for long or easy runs, the shoe comes in multiple widths and aligns in sizing with brands like Altra and Saucony. However, runners seeking a versatile option for speedier sessions may find it less suitable.
