The gusseted tongue (attached to the midsole) aids this fit as well, making it almost a glove like feel. This increases the temperature in the upper. Longtime fans of the Glycerin won’t notice many differences between the new model and the outgoing one, and the max-cushioned experience remains the same. One new feature of the Glycerin this year, though, is the addition of a support version, too—the Glycerin 19 GTS. The Brooks Glycerin has been around for 18 editions but this is the first with stability technology. So let’s introduce this technology by starting from the ground up. The upper of the Glycerin 19 feels so good that it was as if it was designed specifically for my feet. It fits true to size and the plush layers of mesh mold to your feet.

In years past, Brooks sold the Glycerin and the Transcend. Both shoes offered buttery cushioning that worked for long runs and recovery days; the Glycerin was the neutral version and the Transcend was the stability model.This upper of the new Glycerin melts away on your foot,” one tester says. “The upper material is soft and seamless, and it gives you amazing breathability.” They get stiffer too when cold. It's not a ton, but it's noticeable, which makes them even duller in the winter. We froze these shoes to 31°F (-0.6°C) and repeated our flex and durometer tests. The midsole was 17.4% firmer and the flex of the shoes was 60.2% stiffer than when measured at room temperature.

This has been the case for my Brooks experiences. Once they are broken in they were a dream to run in. The transition from impact to toe-off was one of the smoothest I felt in a max cushioned stability trainer. The amount of cushioning and feeling of it make the Glycerins GTS 19 perfect for easier and longer runs. Based on my experience with the Glycerin GTS it was the right move and I look forward to future versions. GuideRails work differently than traditional stability technology. While many stability running shoes employ firmer foams or pieces of plastic on the medial side of the shoe to mitigate the effects of excessive pronation, GuideRails works to keep your body in its most efficient motion path.Brooks Running is undoubtedly among the most respected brands out there regarding daily trainers and stability models. The Glycerin 19—available in both GTS (go-to-support)—is no exception and embodies Brooks’s DNA perfectly. Those who tried the 19 had only good things to report! The main feature of the upper is the fully gusseted tongue which Glycerins always have and that not even the Ghost 13 has. The cushion feels perfectly balanced,” one reviewer says. “It’s so soft, yet you don't feel like you are wearing a clunky, heavy, high-cushion shoe.” Browse the range of Brooks Glycerin trainers here at Start Fitness and discover your new favourite running essential. The big differences are that the Ghost has a combination of DNA Loft and BioMogo in its midsole while the Glycerin has a full DNA Loft midsole and the Glycerin has a softer, more comfortable upper than the Ghost.

This does two things: first, it increases the flexibility of the shoe and second, it isn’t as durable. They showed some wear after 75 miles, not drastic wear, but noticeable.Brooks draped the shoe in its 3D print mesh upper. The mesh provides different zones of stretch and structure, which gives the Glycerin a more dynamic fit. The mesh over the toe box has a bit of stretch to it, while the midfoot and heel are more static. This year, Brooks grouped the two together under the same name.
