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.

Bought these to replace my existing same model and no idea what happened but my old Glycerin with 450 running miles on them have better cushion. The recent ones are literally like running wearing dress shoes. Not sure if there was a redesign or what happened

Not sure if the value is worth it, but these are mostly comfortable. My feet are incredibly picky on what feels good, so I may be skewed. They look nice and provide excellent cushion. I don’t love the top edge of the collar as they are not well padded

I was shocked at how two shoes from the same company can have such different fits. These were a full size too large compared to another Brooks shoe that fit well.

Left shoe mid sole deforms way too easily and pushes up into arch. This is my 3rd pair of Glycerin but first issue I’ve had. Hopefully just a one time glitch.

I purchased this brand at the recommendation of my podiatrist, but unfortunately, they pinched my toes and did not feel as comfortable as the Hoka Bondis, so I returned them. I really wanted to like the shoe. I received a couple of compliments on these sneakers during the few days I wore them to work.

I used to wear Brooks Ghost, for years. But, Brooks has changed their shoes. I can't find a single one that will fit my foot any more. I ordered the 15EE. The Glycerin, like the last few versions of Ghosts are half size short and narrow, even in wide. The toe box narrows too sharply causing my big toe to rub and the shoe to crease. Brooks no longer an option for larger size feet running shoes. Such a disappointment.

I always buy men’s because the colors are better than the women’s and they start at a wide width. These are narrower than the women’s.

The shoe was smaller and tighter than expected. The quality of the shoe was excellent. I wasn't really excited about the color, but that was my mistake. I was disappointed with the packaging of the shoes. The packaging was poor and distracted from the quality of the shoes. I am exchanging them for a size larger and possibly another color.
