Brooks Glycerin 19 Men's Road Running Shoes, Navy/Blue/Nightlife

Product Information

Kaleb: "This is my first pair of Glycerin shoes, and I have been impressed with the upper so far. The 3D Fit Print design provided a secure wrap that was very adaptable to my foot shape. I also appreciated the room in the forefoot, which allowed for toe splay. I did experience some Achilles irritation from the heel collar, but this problem dissipated after a short break-in period. I also found the upper to be on the warmer side when I was running in hotter conditions." You won’t experience “your softest run ever” in the Glycerin 19 like Brooks advertises. Compared to the other max-cushioned trainers, the Glycerin 19’s ride is a tad firmer but it is more stable because there is less lean bias.

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! 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 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. 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.

Rather than correcting how your body moves, GuideRails help your hips, knees and joints find their ideal path. Brooks says encouraging your natural motion path makes it easier to maintain your most efficient stride.This was my first experience with Brooks’ top-tier stability technology so I went in with few expectations. The DNA Loft midsole was a comfortable and cushy ride from the first step. 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.
