How it ranks
The Brooks Glycerin 22 is one of the strongest daily trainers in our data. Comfort and durability are its strongest sub-ratings. The rating rests on 4 runner reviews and 12 other rated shoes in the Glycerin product line. Another 8 reviews would set the confidence on this shoe's own reviews.
Excellent
Confidence
How settled the rating is against every other rated shoe. A shoe can rate high on confidence with relatively few reviews of its own when its product line has a long record and external ratings from retailer sites agree. Confidence will score low when we have few ratings or when runners disagree.
