The Brooks Glycerin 22 is a durable daily trainer ideal for runners prioritizing comfort and stability. Our lab tests reveal that the upgraded DNA Tuned foam, combined with a higher stack height, enhances cushioning while maintaining necessary support.
With a significant weight increase, the Glycerin 22 now weighs more than previous iterations, which may affect some users. The ultra-breathable upper contributes to overall comfort, but the stiffer construction may not suit all preferences.
