The Brooks Glycerin 19 is the latest model in Brooks’ cushion collection, favored for steady kilometers alongside the Ghosts, Adrenaline GTS and Trace. It’s designed for neutral runners – those who have a relatively high arch or who don't overpronate when they go through their gait cycle – and provides a heightened level of cushioning, making it one of the best running shoes for supination.
How we testedWe put the Brooks Glycerin 19 through its paces. Starting off with a couple of shorter runs to get used to the fit and feel, we then took the shoes for a couple of longer runs to make sure our feet were well adjusted. For the ultimate test, we committed to running a full marathon in the Brooks Glycerin 19. Read on for our verdict.
The Brooks Glycerin 19 is available in two versions: standard and GTS . The latter is designed for those who tend to overpronate, and features GuideTails technology in the midsole. Here, denser sections of foam are added to the sides of the shoe to stop the foot from collapsing inwards when you run. This is designed to offer better ankle, knee and hip support and reduce the chance of injury.
The upper is a 3D engineered mesh that almost feels like a knit, and contours to the shape of your foot. It feels secure, but not suffocating. The tongue and gusset are cushioned and extend all the way over the top of the foot, too, so you don't have to worry about rubbing on those particularly long days. Compared with the 18, the interior has been updated to be softer.
PerformanceThe Glycerin 19 is designed for easy paces, and this is where it excels. We ran in the shoes straight out of the box, taking them on a couple of shorter, relaxed runs. We found that the shoes caused some achilles discomfort and blistering on the right foot to begin with, but this subsided after about 3-4 wears. Overall, the ride was pillowy and comfortable. It’s clear why these have been one of Brooks’ most popular running shoes for several years.
How dafuq is this science and not blatant consumerism?
