These shoes have the comfort and support you need as soon as you get your foot inside. They have cushion as you step and give you a small bounce to come back off the ground. I liked the color combination of black and gray. It makes them easier to wear as an everyday shoe as well. The thick sole adds to the comfort but is slightly odd looking for a male shoe.

The fit and feel of this shoe is nice. It has a boxier toe frame than my hyperions; theyre also a little heavier to pick up. The design aesthetically is fine, I am not picky about what my shoes look like. Theyre more muted and are suitable to wear as an every day shoe as well. You cant go wrong with Brooks. The knit fabric is airy. Feels like youre running on a cloud with the support stack under the heel. The cushioning is fantastic. Again, cant go wrong with brooks - theyre versatile enough that you can wear them for almost any activity.

These are the most comfortable running shoes i have ever used. Since the inception of out of box experience, these shoes are very light and the difference from my previous ones are a major difference. The first time i tried the shoes on I couldn't believe just how light my feet felt. When pressing pressure on the heel of the foot feels just as amazing, the support these shoes have have a unique feel to it, almost like a memory foam type of feeling. As an experienced runner, I know running on pavement/cement takes a major toll on your knees... but these shoes have completely changed that feeling too. Previously, i would feel my knees and calfs feel sore and achy after a run, but now with these shoes that feeling is actually gone and i am now able to run a little more on distance with confidence. I would absolutely recommend these shoes to all distance runners, especially if they run on pavement/cement. 10/10 for me.

Ive been a casual runner my whole life due to knee pain from a past knee surgery. These are my first pair of Brooks running shoes and I noticed almost immediately that my knee pain is significantly less when I wear these! They fit perfectly, plenty of room in the toe box without being too loose. I havent put too much mileage on these yet, but so far they seem very sturdy and durable while being breathable. Definitely my new go-to shoes, even for walking around the zoo with my kiddos. Theyre so comfortable!

The Glycerin 22 strikes me as a very versatile shoe that can be used for several different activities. From daily casual wear, to walking, to training, to running, it can be what you need it to be. Im putting the Glycerin 22 to work as a running shoe. The shoes felt a bit bulky at first but that wasnt the case. The fit is true to size and they are very comfortable. My favorite quality is in the heel construction. The counter is solid, and the collar is very comfortable. Overall, very stable, but not too tight. The collar and tongue are just as comfortable, if you decide to utilize the last eyelet as well. Lastly, if max cushioning is what youre looking for, well, you can feel the cushion from heel to toe. Ive logged just over 20 miles on short runs, and the Glycerin 22 continues to deliver. My only concern would be the longevity of the max cushioning, but as of now, Im looking forward to continued performance.

When it comes to running shoes, comfort and support are often at the top of the priority list, and this sneaker delivers in spades. Ideal for neutral runners, this model features a midsole with DNA Tuned Foam, which provides a plush yet responsive feel with every stride. The cushioning is especially notable in the heel area, offering a soft landing that reduces impact during long runs. The upper is equally impressive, providing a comfortable and secure fit. The construction keeps the foot locked in place without feeling overly tight. An elastic pull tab at the heel makes slipping the shoe on and off a breeze, which is a nice touch for those in a hurry. The ample padding around the heel further enhances comfort and stability, ensuring a snug, locked-in feel throughout your run. Design-wise, this shoe surprises with its sleek silhouette. Despite the substantial cushioning, it doesn't look bulky. The steel gray, double-layered jacquard air mesh upper is both stylish and breathable, adding a modern flair to the overall look. However, the outsole could use a bit of improvement. While it's more than adequate for warmer weather and indoor gym workouts, the grip could be better for wet or slick conditions. If youre running in inclement weather or need superior traction, this may not be your ideal choice. In summary, this sneaker is far from a racing shoe, but it's an excellent all-around running companion. The cushioning is by far its standout feature, making it a fantastic option for everyday runs. If you're looking for a workhorse shoe to add to your rotation, this one ticks many boxes. However, if grip is a top priority for you, especially in rainy conditions, it might not be the best fit.

After years of working and being on my feet for hours I finally had to find a shoe that would give me comfort and support for my long work days. After trying on the Brooks Glycerin 22, I knew I found the shoe that I was looking for. The sole padding on the shoe is extremely comfortable and feels like youre walking on a cloud. Im able to walk for hours at work and no longer feel pain in my heels after a few hours in at work, now I have 0 pain at all thanks to the Glycerin 22. The gray and black color way also makes the Glycerin 22 extremely stylish and can be paired with any outfit. I highly recommend the Brooks Glycerin 22 and look forward to purchasing more in different color ways. Overall if I had to rate this shoe Id have to give it a 10/10.

At first glance, Brooks Glycerine 22 looks sleek with the taller sole on the outside of the shoe. The toe box is wide and comfortable yet sturdy. Air flow is maximal with the mesh-like vented fabric. I tend to supinate when active. The back, outer sides of the shoe soles do not feel stable with this form. The rest of the shoe feels soft yet supportive. If I were to change anything, it would be the support in the heels of the shoe. Overall, Brooks Glycerine 22 is a shoe many runners should consider due to the broad sole, flexible fabric, and cushioned landings.

I have had a number of pairs of Brooks, but these take the cake. When I first tried them it felt like I was running on clouds, I could not believe the difference. The shoe is so exceptional that it has added not only speed to my runs, but distance as well. Just an incredible shoe and I cannot say enough good things. I have the grey/black ones and they also look stylish too which I fund helpful when I am traveling.

I have been a distance runner for over 20 years and although I no longer race competitively, I still start each day with some road mileage. I have gone through lots of shoes over the years but the new Brooks Glycerin 22 running shoes have been perfect for my new road route. The soft impact on the heel is great for pavement running while also allowing to disperse weight to the toe in stride to provide a great burst of energy into forward momentum. I am typically a size 11 and I found that these were true to size. I was skeptical about the weight by the looks of the shoe, however I was very surprised by how light these shoes were and how they molded to my foot on my first run. The slick fabric around the ankle and sole of the shoe make slipping these shoes on and off easy. These are by far the most comfortable running shoe I have ever worn and the comfort does not come at a cost to looks, as I have found with many running shoes. I have worn these shoes out on many casual occasions as well. I love my new Brooks Glycerin 22 running shoes!

I love the look, fit and feel of these shoes. The fabric breathes really well even if I'm sweaty. The insole definitely has a bounce to it that I greatly appreciate and it feels like walking on clouds. The design is stylish and neutral so I can confidently wear them with almost any outfit too and not feel like they look out of place. I don't notice any strain or fatigue after running in them and they are super comfortable to wear all day at work as well. I would highly recommend these to any runner or anyone who just spends a lot of time on their feet.

I love these running sneakers! I have just started to train for an upcoming 10K race. I have put on about 30 miles in these sneakers so far and my feet are never sore after the runs. I HIGHLY recommend these sneakers if you are in need of some new running gear. They are stylish and they fit perfectly for my feet (size 12). I couldn't be happier! A+++

The Brooks Glycerin 22 shoes are probably the most comfortable shoes Ive ever worn in my life. They fit true to size and do not require breaking in before feeling comfortable. The soles provide excellent for all sorts of exercises and casual wearing. The length of the laces are perfect as well. Long enough to make tying easy yet short enough to not dangle to the ground or look bad. The design is very conservative. Basic gray fabric color with black souls. Colored trimming would be a nice touch but the neutral color design is something you cant go wrong with. The fibric is light, durable, and cleans easily. The fabric design also makes the shoe very breathable keeping the feet cool during training. My favorite part of the shoe is by far the unmatched comfort. This should be anybodys go to shoe for long distant running or working a job that requires long durations of standing. I dont have any real criticisms about this shoe. The design could use a spash of color but many people including myself like a conservative neutral design such as this shoe.

As mentioned above, this is my first pair of Brooks and (at least so far) they are truly the best running shoes I've ever had. Like the kind of running shoe that makes you excited to go for a run because you get to put them on and really use them to do what they are designed for. The first thing I noticed about them was the remarkable bounce and cushion in the sole. Impact with the ground makes your stride feel electric in these shoes. I want them to be my full-time running shoe. As in, I try to only wear them when I run but I find myself wanting to wear them when I'm just out and about with my wife and kids too. They just feel and look too good to wait on the next run.

One of the most comfortable running shoes I've ever worn is the Brooks Glycerin 22, which I've been wearing for quite some time. It doesn't matter if I'm walking or jogging for long distances; the fit is snug and supportive, and the cushioning is so soft that it makes every step feel effortless and smooth. During my runs, the breathable fabric helps to keep my feet cool and comfy, and the sleek and modern design manages to be stylish without being excessive. One of the features that particularly struck out to me was the ultra-soft cushioning, which not only offers remarkable support but also lessens the impact that is felt on hard surfaces. If I had the ability to modify anything, it would be to have additional color selections that are suitable for a variety of styles. Runners and anyone else who is on their feet for lengthy periods of time will find this shoe to be ideal because it provides outstanding comfort, support, and style.

I have not previously wore any Brooks, so I am unable to compare to previous styles of this shoe. I have heard great things regarding the style and comfort of this brand and overall pleased. I am a nurse and on my feet a for hours at a time. I also enjoy working out multiple 3-5 times per week including cardio and weight lifting. These shoes are lightweight but still provide support throughout the foot, arch and ankle. There is plenty of cushion for comfort but still firm enough to be supportive. The shoe laces are good material and stay tied during various activities without having to double knot it. The fabric of the shoe is breathable. It runs true to size for me compared to other shoe brands. Overall the shoe is comfortable and provides the support expected, however I am not crazy about the look of the shoe. Personally I would prefer a slimmer design of the shoe paired with the comfort and support of this style. I would prefer a slimmer shoe.

The Glycerin 22 are so light amd comfortable that I forget that I am wearing them. They are a nice grey shade that match with any clothing. The fabric is breathable and is very well stitched and pit together. Great quality. While running my heels have lots of support and great cushioning. My feet feel less achy after a run. The design surely has the running dynamics in mind. This is my new go to running shoes. It is a perfect fit. What I might add is some reflective material to aid visibility for those who run outdoors.

The fit and feel were what I would expect from a running shoe. It had lots of cushioning and had a nice rocker kind of step when you would walk in the shoe. It definitely is a max padding kind of running shoe for me. I was typically a mid foot striker and found issues that the mid foot area did not have as much padding as the heel area. The design of the shoe looks great, although there are little holes on the side of the insole on the outside that just doesnt make sense and I dont know what purpose they have other than that overall the shoe looks great and feels great. It could be worn casually or during sporting events. The fabric was super nice. It felt breathable and soft. I liked the larger toebox. It felt like my foot had to move around a little bit. It didnt feel too tight on the upper part of my foot and the heel clipped him pretty nicely it felt like a solid shoe on my foot. Honestly, the thing I like the most was the padding. I would totally use it as a shoe for walking and doing walking types of low intensity activities but for me as a runner I need something thats a little more neutral and has more midfoot support.

My husband has been using the Glycerin 22 for a few weeks now. From the moment he put them on he said he felt like he was walking on clouds. He says that the fabric is very soft and cushioning and that his feet could breathe. He has used them for running outside in the cold, on the treadmill and even for cross training workouts. They are very versatile, he can go from workout to run errands without having to change his shoes! Overall, his favorite thing about the Glycerin 22 is just how comfy they are! No need to break them in, just tie the laces and hit the road!

I recently picked up a pair of the Men's Glycerin 22 running shoes, and I have to say, my experience has been quite impressive. Starting with the fit and feel, I found them to be incredibly comfortable right out of the box. The cushioning is plush without feeling overly squishy, which is a balance I really appreciate during my runs. They fit true to size for me, providing just the right amount of room in the toe box while maintaining support around the midfoot. Ive used them for both short runs and longer distances, and they have held up beautifully, offering great support without causing any fatigue or discomfort. As for the design, I think the Glycerin 22 looks fantastic. The sleek lines and modern aesthetic are attractive without being too flashy. I opted for the darker colorway, which gives the shoe a more versatile look that pairs well with both running gear and casual outfits. Its always a plus when a running shoe can transition easily into daily wear. Now, lets talk about the fabric. The upper is made from a breathable mesh that offers good ventilation, which is essential for those longer runs, especially in warmer weather. The materials feel high-quality and durable, which is reassuring for anyone who regularly puts their shoes through the paces. The sock-like fit provided by the upper also adds to the overall comfort, making them feel almost custom-fit. What I liked most about the Glycerin 22 is the incredible cushioning it offers. As someone who often deals with minor joint discomfort, the plushness of the midsole is a game changer. It really helps absorb the impact during runs, making the experience much more enjoyable. If I could change one thing, it might be the weight. While the cushioning is impressive, I did notice that they feel a bit heavier compared to some of my other running shoes. This isnt a deal-breaker, but I think a lighter option would be perfect for speed work or races. Overall, the Men's Glycerin 22 has proven to be a fantastic shoe for both training and everyday wear. The combination of comfort, style, and durability makes it a worthwhile investment for any runner. Im excited to put more miles on these and see how they hold up over time!

The Glycerin 22 Brooks Running Shoes fit snuggly but comfortably. They hold your feet well but have a spacious toe box. The design is very sleek and minimal, the black shoe sole makes the sole not look overly big. The silver grey upper matches anything you might be wearing while out and about, running or daytime wear. The design is minimal and quite sleek. The fabric upper is breathable, soft and non abrasive. I have had no issues with foot sweat. I like how bouncy they feel, they give me a bit of spring when Im running. The stiff insole makes them very stable. And the foot rolls off smoothly when Im running. Overall very comfortable shoe I would highly recommend.
