Durability is consistently rated above average. DoctorsOfRunning reports minimal outsole wear after 50 miles and expects the tough outsole material to outlast most trainers. User and retail feedback corroborate strong build quality and longevity, with few complaints about premature wear.
The Brooks Glycerin GTS 22 is widely recognized by experts and users as a premium, high-stability daily trainer with plush, nitrogen-infused cushioning (DNA Loft V3) and a secure, supportive fit. Its moderate-to-high medial support and high stack height make it ideal for overpronators and runners seeking comfort and protection during everyday runs and long distances. The shoe's weight (10.7 oz men’s, 9.4 oz women’s) and focus on stability over speed limit its suitability for tempo runs and racing, where lighter, more responsive shoes are preferred. While the cushioning and support are excellent for recovery runs, the shoe is not designed for trail use due to its road-focused outsole and lack of traction for technical terrain. User and expert consensus consistently highlight its strengths for daily mileage, long runs, and recovery, but note its heaviness and less responsive ride for faster efforts.
Ideal for Best suited for beginner to experienced runners who overpronate or require extra stability, especially those logging high weekly mileage, recovering from injury, or seeking maximum comfort for easy and long runs. Ideal for runners prioritizing support and cushioning over speed, including those who spend long hours on their feet.
The Glycerin GTS 22 is designed for runners needing extra support but wanting a plush, premium feel. The upper is more accommodating than previous versions, and the platform is broad for added stability. The shoe is not stiff, allowing for natural foot movement, but is not as flexible as lightweight trainers. No carbon plate or aggressive rocker geometry is present. The fit is especially well-suited for medium to slightly wide feet, and the plush interior enhances step-in comfort.
Sizing: True to size; no need to size up or down. Consistent with previous Glycerin models and standard Brooks sizing.
