Women's Glycerin 22

• Weight: 9.1 oz / 258.0 g (for a standard women's size 8)

• Midsole Drop: 10 mm (heel-to-toe offset)

Materials and Technology

• Midsole: Uses DNA Tuned foam infused with nitrogen. Larger cells in the heel absorb impact for soft landings, while smaller cells in the forefoot create a springy toe-off.
• Upper: Made from an engineered double jacquard knit mesh that stretches, breathes, and keeps feet cool.
• Outsole: Built with durable RoadTack rubber and flex grooves to improve traction and smooth out heel-to-toe transitions.
• Sustainability: Contains 61.3% recycled materials in the upper construction.

Length and Sizing

• True to length: Most wearers find that ordering your normal running shoe size provides the correct fit.
• No guessing needed: You do not need to size up or down for length.

Width and Toe Box

• Mixed opinions: Opinions on width are mixed: some runners report a slightly narrow fit with a cramped toe box, while others find the stretchy double jacquard knit upper very accommodating.
• Multiple widths: Brooks offers this shoe in standard, wide, and extra-wide options if you need extra room.

Heel and Lockdown

• Secure hold: The midfoot and heel provide a strong lockdown with virtually no heel slippage.
• Stiff counter: The structural heel counter is firm, which works well for stability but may feel stiff against sensitive heels.

Best Uses

• Recovery and Easy Runs: The nitrogen-infused DNA Tuned foam absorbs shock exceptionally well at a relaxed pace.
• Long Distance Training: High cushioning and a smooth 10mm drop protect legs during extended road miles.
• Heel Strikers: The softer heel landing zone cushions rearfoot impacts before transitioning smoothly forward.
• All-Day Wear: Plush collar padding and a breathable upper suit long shifts on your feet or daily walking.

Key Features

• DNA Tuned Midsole: Softer foam in the heel for impact protection and firmer responsiveness in the forefoot for toe-off.
• High Stack Height: A tall 38mm/28mm platform (10mm drop) provides a protective barrier against hard concrete.
• Breathable Upper: Redesigned mesh allows high airflow for warm-weather runs.
