Brooks Women's Glycerin 19 Running Shoe

Product Information

For less experienced and heavier runners, the Glycerin will be able to handle any kind of speed and distance. For more control, our women’s Glycerin GTS 20 and men’s Glycerin GTS 20 are designed to keep you steady. Built-in stability support keeps you grounded and a plush interior softens every step. Even as you take routine runs, you're giving your feet a little TLC. These adaptations happen every time your foot touches the ground. The Glycerin has a lighter and overall softer version of the DNA Midsole for an even more plush ride. The Glycerin 17 inherits most features from its predecessor including the upper, midsole, and outsole design.

The Glycerin 18 is a really well-rounded running shoe,” he says. “I didn’t have to think about the cushioning or my footstrike. It just turned over naturally from step to step.” You don’t need to worry about the midsole breaking down prematurely because you don’t live in an anaerobic landfill (hopefully)! The BioMoGo technology is not patented because Brooks wants other companies to be more environmentally friendly. Best use for Brook Glycerin 18The latest versions of the Nimbus, Triumph, and Clifton are all softer shoes than the Glycerin 18. Now, with the release of the Invincible, it’s hard to imagine that any shoe could be softer. Disclaimer: I love these shoes so much that It may sound as if Brooks is paying me to write this, or that I know nothing about shoes, but no, Brooks is not paying me, and I have experience with over 100 different running shoe models. The Glycerin may be sleek, but it is certainly heavy-duty. All the materials in the shoe are very high quality and durable. The redesigned mesh upper sports fewer overlays, and the sidewall pattern of the midsole is slightly different. Neither of those changes affect the overall ride.

Even with the plush feel, though, the DNA Loft doesn’t dampen the spring in your step. One tester says the ride feels pleasantly energetic, giving just enough bounce to avoid the sinking-into-sand feeling of other super-soft shoes. I have never run in a more comfortable shoe, and I cannot fathom that a more comfortable shoe exists on the market.

The best running shoes make sure your feet keep up with your running ambitions. Find the most comfortable running shoes made for how you race -- with support to help you reach each mile marker. The Glycerin shoe collection is road running shoes designed to keep that fresh-footed feeling as you pound the pavement. While the standard Glycerin model is a maximum-cushioned, neutral trainer, the Brooks Glycerin GTS 19 and 20 (newly released in July 2022) are classed as stability trainers. Stability running shoes such as these are ideal for runners with overpronation, who need more ankle support and a less flexible sole. Also, this shoe is great for most runs, but although they are responsive, they do not work as well as other shoes on the market that will respond better to the high pace. If you want a shoe that won’t cause your feet any problems, these are the move. Brooks’ logo is Run Happy; the Glycerins make that a reality.

A padded tongue and collar add an extra secure fit to keep the foot from slipping in or out of the shoe. Additional support is provided through the 3D Fit Print technology prints on the sides, which are stylish yet functional and add a splash of colour while reinforcing the structure of the shoe. Designers also lightened the load from 17 to 18. Brooks says the men’s Brooks Glycerin 18 drops almost half an ounce from the previous version, and the women’s Brooks Glycerin 18 is down about .2 ounces. Heavier runners and lighter runners alike will enjoy the Glycerin 18. The Glycerin works best as a daily road running shoe, but can really handle anything if you push it.This most recent edition has a similar midsole and outsole as previous versions, but Brooks has made a great update to the upper. I gave the Glycerin 17 a 100/100, but they somehow have improved it again. Looking past the technical parts, though, the Brooks Glycerin 18 is a simple running shoe. The mesh upper features a mellow pattern and streamlined silhouette, and the six-hole lacing system with an empty seventh hole is standard for most running shoes. The updated design of the foam does cut down on some of the weight and offers a slightly softer ride. However, the difference during side-by-side runs, has been negligible. The one area where the Glycerin 19 beats all other max-cushioned trainers is its magnificent upper which is an engineering masterpiece. Running enthusiasts who enjoy the Nike Downshifter, Mizuno Wave Rider and New Balance Fresh Foam Arishi will also enjoy the Brooks Glycerin 17 for the way it supports dynamic, multi-directional movement.
