Advice for Road Runners: The Brooks Men's Glycerin 22 Running Shoes feature DNA Tuned cushioning. The midsole strikes a great balance between softness and energy return.
Underfoot Feel
DNA Tuned consists of two types of nitrogen-infused foam. The heel section of the midsole features larger cells - offering an ultra-soft underfoot feel. In contrast, the forefoot section features smaller cells - delivering greater energy return.
For heel-to-midfoot strikers, the midsole should deliver soft landings, followed by energetic take-offs.
It's worth noting that the Brooks Glycerin 22 midsole is not as thick as the Brooks Glycerin Max midsole. The Glycerin 22 outsole also features more horizontal flex grooves, so the midsole should feel more flexible underfoot.
Upper Fit
A double jacquard engineered mesh upper comes with a flat knit collar. As a result, the Brooks Glycerin 22 Running Shoes' upper should be breathable, soft, and supportive.
Ideal Run Type
The Brooks Men's Glycerin 22 Running Shoes are suitable for both slower-paced and steadier-effort runs. This is because the midsole should feel comfortable and energetic to run in.
The Glycerin 22 are also a great choice for long distance runs. If you're looking for more support, we recommend the Brooks Glycerin GTS 22 Running Shoes.

Sizing Advice
Shoe size is a personal preference and everyone's feet are different, but we want to ensure you avoid any pain or discomfort from bruised toenails, rubbing, blistering or pins and needles.
Your running shoes should have enough width to allow you to spread your toes and should have some space at the front (we recommend having a half to one thumb's width of space from the end of your longest toe to the front of your running shoes).
This usually means that your running shoe will be at least a half size bigger than your regular shoe size though this can vary from brand to brand.
