Why We Love This Deal
Runner’s, it’s go time: Shoe brands and retailers are trying to make room for next year’s running shoe models, and that means this year’s shoes are getting across-the-board discounts. Right now, you can find some of the best deals of the year on top-tier shoes. Brooks is a great example: The brand has banner discounts on popular shoes like the supportive Adrenaline GTS 24, the water-resistant Adrenaline GTS 24 Weatherized, and even the Catamount trail shoe. If you love a plush ride, you’re in luck: The max-cushion Glycerin 22 is on sale for $40 off.
The Brooks Glycerin 22 is on sale for $125, a 24% discount from its normal price of $165. This shoe is one of Brooks’ most popular trainers, and it’s currently on sale across the full spread of colorways with plenty of sizes in stock—very rare for a Brooks shoe.

The Glycerin is one of Brooks’ core training models, and it’s designed to offer a cushy ride for daily jogs and long runs. (Though shoppers note it’s also great for walking, too.) The 22nd iteration features an all-new midsole foam, DNA Tuned. This foam is infused with nitrogen gas, with larger bubbles in the heel and smaller bubbles in the forefoot. The larger bubbles promote soft, well-cushioned landings, while the smaller bubbles give the shoe a bouncy, propulsive feeling at toe-off. The Glycerin 22s also come with a revamped jacquard knit mesh upper for a more comfortable fit and increased breathability, so your feet don’t overheat when you’re really hustling. The shoe has a relatively wide sole shape for a naturally stable, planted ride, and generous rubber placements on the outsole create reliable grip on the pavement.
What Shoppers Are Saying
The reviews section for the Glycerin 22 is full of positivity, and shoppers really appreciate the shoe’s well-padded design. Reviewers say the Glycerin feels “amazingly comfortable,” like “cushiony heaven.” One runner even said this model is the “best cushioned shoe out there,” and another said “my feet fell in love” as soon as they tried the Glycerin on. While the Glycerin is designed for running, shoppers note its comfortable feel lends itself well to walking and casual wear, too. Shoppers report using these kicks for everything from training for an ultramarathon to walking around football tailgates. Bottom line: The Glycerin will keep your feet happy no matter your pace or location.
At 24% off, the Glycerin 22 will likely sell out fast, and many colorways already have quite a few sizes sold out. Snag your pair ASAP before these coveted kicks disappear.
