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.

I purchased these for the high heel drop because I have Achilles tendonitis. However, the shoe runs quite small and the heel cage is narrow and rigid which causes significant pain in the Achilles area. I will have to return.

I've been wearing the Brooks Glycerin for years and am disappointed with this version. One shoe fit perfectly but the other shoe felt a half size too small with my toes jammed to the front of the shoe.

I usually wear Adrenalines but liked the look of these. I knew immediately when I put them on that they didn’t work for me.

I love the look and style of these shoes. I usually size up by half to 9.5 for all my running shoes. I did this with the Glycerin 22 and it's still very tight in the toe box. Unfortunately, my toes become numb when trying to run in this shoe.

I like the way the shoe fits and feels, and the maroon color is lovely, but I hate the big bulbous toe box.

Over-all the shoes were good but the toe box was too big. I normally get a “wide” but a medium might have been better. I had to return them.

I have worn a 7.5 in Brooks consistently. These Brooks are too short in the toe bed. My toes hit the front, making it uncomfortable to wear. I really was hoping this edition would have been the one to replace my Ghost 14's, which are the most perfect fit for me. The rest of the sneaker was nice and soft with enough cushioning to protect my foot. I have a more narrow foot, and I need to have a nice and wide toe bed. I think I have to search for another sneaker company, sadly.

I returned this shoe because it felt too snug in the toe box and the base of the shoe felt too clunky.
