Customer Reviews Brooks Glycerin 22

Always liked the Glycerins for their roomy toebox, not only from a width perspective but the height of the toebox. Unfortunately these new ones do not have the same feel in regards to height of the toe-box compared to the 21s. They are morphing into the stealthfit in this way which is a bummer. Will stock up on the 21s and hope the 23 version is better!

Love these so far. Perfect amount of cushion and stability. I feel like I get more of a pop when I run vs. my old Glycerin 19s. My new favorite running shoe.

Loved the comfort! Great shoe!

These fit a little tighter than the glycerin 21 which is why I gave it a 2 star. Its been uncomfortable trying to break these in. Hopefully they will work out but its been a few weeks and Im still feeling a tight squeeze on my feet .

These are the most comfortable glycerins I have had since the 11s. They have an abundance of cushion when I run along with the subtle support that I like. Love the roomy toe box and that they dont have the extra huge thick base that look like moon shoes. They look really nice and great colors to choose from.

I'm already a Brooks lover and the Glycerin 22 did not disappoint! I'm a fan of a structured shoe. I like to feel support at my arch and around my ankle/heel. The wider toe box gives my toes plenty of space to support trail walking/running and a wide lateral feel. I wouldn't say this shoe is built for speed, but it has been nice for my morning walks on snow and ice. The design is very attractive, even though I seem to get it dirty within the first couple days of wearing them. They are breathable (not ideal for winter running/walking, but I'll love them in the other months) and the laces stay tied throughout wearing! I'm currently in my 3rd trimester of pregnancy and have been on my feet a lot on varied terrain, they have been supportive and easy to slip on and off when I didn't need to lace them up for a longer walk or run. Would highly recommend them to any person looking for a supportive, comfortable shoe for walking, running, and cross-training.

The Glycerin 22 are great shoes. I am on my feet 9 hours a day at work. I have no pains in my back or feet. These are only shoes you can wear out of the box. Other shoes I've had in the past needed to be broken in slowly not these shoe.

I am not an intense runner by any means but I do run daily for 2 miles. Its currently cold in New England and Im running in mostly dry weather though some days have had rain. These running shoes have been the most comfortable Ive come across. Theres more bounce to my step with less harsh contact against the pavement. I often get sore around the ball of my heel and toes but havent had any pain or soreness while wearing these. Ive actually been able to up my pace and complete my two miles in much shorter time span due to the comfort of these sneakers, which will encourage me to add miles to the daily routine. Really great looking sneakers too, the colors are dainty for me and Ive even worn these on my errands and while at the gym. They are breathable and dont cause my feet to sweat. Im usually a 6.5 but the 7 fit me perfect so Id say they might run a half size smaller than most.

I have worn Brooks for a few years, and this model is probably the best one yet. I wear these when I jog on outdoor paths, and they are incredibly comfortable. They give great stability and balance. I also have Plantar Fasciitis, and these sneakers are so easy on my feet with the cushioning it provides.I also find that they're easier to slip on with the way the back is designed. When jogging I feel like the footfalls are softer, and my run is balanced. Aesthetics wise, they are really pretty. I love the teal peaking out of the white and the soft pink rubber. I also wear these to work (healthcare) and get many compliments on how cute they are. I can work on my feet all day, and I don't experience any soreness. The only downside is getting stained when jogging on paths, but I just scrub them a little with a detergent pen and I'm good to go. Overall I would absolutely recommend these for anyone that needs a good comfortable shoe to walk, jog, or works on their feet all day!

I own so many running shoes and the Glycerin 22s are the most COMFORTABLE shoes I have ever stepped my feet into!!! When I tell you that these shoes will be worth every penny whether its running, work, training, cycling, etc these shoes are IT!!! It also helps with the fact that my feet normally have issues or get tired in shoes even the comfortable brands, but theseWOW Im speechless when it comes to the glycerin 22s and the fact that they are comfortable, AND BEAUTIFUL!!! The amount of compliments I have received everytime I am out in public is just WOW. I love the color way, the fact they are so breathable and comfortable is one of the things I can highlight. The fit was perfect, and very true to size!! GET THESE SHOES. YOU WONT REGRET IT!!! The pastels are BEAUTIFUL!!! I LOVE THESE SHOES!!!

These shoes are great! I cant get over how incredibly comfortable they are. Theyre super lightweight and airy, with great cushioning and absorbency in the heel. I also really enjoy the rounded toe design. Initially I wasnt a big fan of the heel areas appearance. But I enjoy how comfortable they are so much that it didnt deter me from frequently wearing them.

Ive found these sneakers to be very comfortable - probably equally as good for a long casual run as well as a very long walk. The front is very roomy for toes or if you have a wide foot (I dont have a wide foot but I like the roominess these offer.) They feel very durable and have high quality. Ive had great runs so far with these sneakers!

The Glycerin 22 is not only a cute shoe, but is very functional. This pair of shoes is my new go to for athletic shoes. They have been a great option for when I am working all day on my feet and for my daily exercise. They have a wider base which took a little getting used to for me, but once I did I have loved everything about the shoe. There is a noticeable difference when I put on the shoes in how I feel. The shoes are very light and they provide great support. I occasionally deal with hip and back pain when exercising and I havent noticed any pain when using these shoes. I would definitely recommend these shoes.

The Brooks Glycerin 22 running shoe is quickly becoming my favorite shoe from Brooks. As someone who wears their running shoes for both workouts and just day-to-day life, I need my shoes to be functional, comfortable, and stylish. These definitely fit the bill! The new DNA Tuned cushioned sole is so plush and softit feels like walking on memory foam! However, I dont find that my ankle stability is compromised, even with such a squishy-feeling base. Its actually quite bouncy and responsive, which makes my running stride really pop off the ground. I feel like my speed has increased without any extra effort on my part, and I have noticed my recovery is faster when I wear these. I also enjoy that theyve widened the uppers of the shoe. I had to return my Glycerin 21s because even with my average-width feet, the upper felt way too tight and would cut off my circulation. This edition of the Glycerin has solved that problem, offering a roomier fit that still secures my feet without the squeezing. I wear a size 7 in most shoes, and find that these are true to size. As far as construction goes, I appreciate that the mesh fabric upper is lightweight and breathable, providing plenty of ventilation for long workouts and hot days. It feels very durable, too. I also love the color! Mine are in the colorway White/Limpet Shell/Amparo Blue. I find it is the perfect balance of a fun, colorful shoe without being so bright and bold that you cant wear it with a lot of outfits. Its versatile, while still having personality. My absolute favorite part of the Glycerin 22s is the addition of the pull tab and heel collar. It makes slipping these on a breeze, and it helps protect my heels from chafing or blistering if Im wearing shorter socks. Its a genius detail and I want it on all of my shoes now! If I had to change anything, it would be the tongue. I always find myself pulling it up, wanting it just to be a tad bit longer, wider, and less padded. It doesnt really affect the wear of these shoes much at all, but its the one thing that I think could use a little tweaking to make these actually perfect. Otherwise, I think the Glycerin 22s strike the perfect balance of comfort, style, and support!

Caused more pain than anything. Super cute but didnt workout for me. Super disappointed

Perfect all around! My go to sneaker.

Awesome! Great cushioning and support.

When I put these shoes on, I felt like I could dunk a basketball! They are so comfortable and you really feel cushioned when running. They look good too. The only negative (which wasnt enough to deduct a star) is that the front of the shoe sometimes indents weirdly. I have to take the shoe off and pop it out from the inside when it does that.

The Brooks Glycerin 22 is a standout addition to the Brooks lineup, delivering a fantastic option for runners seeking a premium neutral shoe. As someone who typically gravitates toward stability shoes like the GTS series due to overpronation, I was intrigued to see how the Glycerin 22 would hold upand I was pleasantly surprised. Right out of the box, the design is sleek and modern, with an upper that feels soft yet secure. During my runs, I found that my feet stayed comfortably cool, thanks to the breathable mesh material. Even on warmer days, overheating wasnt an issue, which is a big plus. The cushioning is another highlightplush and responsive without feeling overly soft. For mid-range runs, the ample cushioning keeps my legs feeling fresh and supported throughout. What surprised me most was the level of stability the Glycerin 22 offers for a neutral shoe. While its not as structured as a true stability model, it provided enough support for shorter runs without leaving my feet feeling overworked. That said, for longer runs, I did feel the absence of the additional stability that the GTS provides. This shoe has earned a spot in my rotation and is a great complement to my regular stability shoes. If Brooks were to release a GTS version of the Glycerin 22, Id consider making it my go-to for all runs. For now, its a versatile, comfortable option that shines on mid-range and shorter distances. Highly recommended!

I love these shoes!! They are the most comfortable pair of running/cross training shoes I have ever owned. They provide a significant amount of cushion without feeling bulky or heavy, but with enough stability that I am completely confident running on uneven pavement. I would buy these shoes again and again hands down.

I walk/sprint on the treadmill 4-5x a week, and I have worn very old sneakers for years that definitely were not made for running. After wearing the Glycerin 22 sneakers, I know what a mistake that was! They are SO comfortable that I seriously feel like im running on clouds. My heels dont ache after like they did after running with my old ones. I am a size 8 and they fit true to size. They look much cuter in person than I was expecting too! I was iffy about liking the look of them, but The colors are girly and adorable, without too much of a pop (im not huge on too flashy) I have been using them on the treadmill for about 2 weeks, so I cant speak for the longevity of them just yet. I am so happy about these sneakers, I geniunely feel much more motivated to run into the new year!

Im always suspicious with new products I try. You never know how it will fit, too narrow or maybe too wide, will it be comfortable?! To my big surprise this pair checked it all. Perfect size fit, I like the design and color. In the future maybe they could produce not to bulky looking shoe, maybe slightly thinner on the sides and I wish for one color shoes, more like neutral so I can wear it even for just daily walks anywhere, because of how incredibly comfortable these are! The fabric is soft and pleasant to wear. I have very tired heels every day because Im on my feet for the most part. The back of shoe is like a sponge, hope it will last!This is my favorite pair now not only for my daily running routine.

At first I was skeptical about the Glycerin 22s. I have some of the best running shoes and couldn't imagine how anything else could compare. As a very busy mom of two and corporate professional, I am ALWAYS on the go. Shoes are extremely important since I am in uncomfortable stilettos about 40 hours a week. When I am not in stilettos, I need full comfort and support. From the moment I put on the Glycerin 22s, I knew they were going to be life changing. I'm not sure what mystical technology is in the shoes, but they provide more comfort than my house slippers. Once I decided to journey into the outside world with them, I found myself bouncing and jumping around simply because I felt I was walking on clouds. I've specifically noticed the comfort under my baby toes and the perfect contouring around each of my feet. Don't get me wrong, it's not just the extreme cushion, but the structure of the shoe, fabric used, and arch support also make them into my new favorite runnings shoes. With these shoes, they thought of everything, including built in reflectors for when I run at night and convenient loops behind the heel to put them on with ease. I'm planning an eight day vacation next month where I expect to walk at least 10 miles a day. The design and overall look of the Glycerin 22s offer such a wide variety of styling that these will be the only shoes I bring on the trip.

This is my new go to pair of shoes. Coming from a runner and busy nurse practitioner. These shoes have changed my outlook, uncomfortable shoes. They have been great for early morning workouts indoors this time of year in addition to working 12 hour days. These shoes are the epitome of comfort with just the right amount of extra support and cushion in the heel.

The Glycerin 22 running shoes are my new favorite. My feet feel cushioned and encased in a very high quality product. I ordered size 8 but if you like room in your shoe Id tell you to size up. They fit well but on the smaller side. They make me want to run! The design and color is great and very much my style, but these shoes have more to offer than just how they look. They absorb shock well and while running is usually high impact, these change the game completely and make it feel low impact. I would absolutely recommend these for someone looking for a reliably comfortable and performance-oriented option.
