Summary
The Brooks Glycerin 22 is a premium cushioned running shoe designed for runners who prioritize comfort and long-distance support. It features Brooks' signature DNA Loft cushioning technology, providing a plush, smooth ride for neutral runners seeking maximum cushioning. Compared to other models in Brooks's lineup, the Glycerin 22 offers more cushioning than the Ghost series, focusing on supreme comfort rather than speed. Although it's a bit heavier than models like the Brooks Launch or Levitate, which are geared toward faster pace running and responsiveness, the Glycerin 22 excels in absorbing impact, making it ideal for runners who prefer a gentle and supportive feel during their runs. This model is best suited for long runs on roads and paved surfaces, offering a luxurious experience for runners who have a neutral stride and prioritize a soft underfoot feel.
