BrooksGlycerin GTS 22
With nitrogen-infused cushioning and GuideRails stability, the Glycerin GTS 22 delivers a plush yet supported ride for moderate overpronators. Soft, steady, and confidence-inspiring, it’s designed to bring comfort and alignment to every mile.
Details
The Brooks Glycerin GTS 22 serves as the plush, stability-enhanced sibling of the Adrenaline, offering luxurious cushioning with guided support for runners who want a soft yet structured ride. Its nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 foam is tuned with dual-size cell engineering — larger cells in the heel absorb impact with plush, springy cushioning, while smaller cells in the forefoot create snappier, more responsive toe-offs for efficient forward motion.
To maintain smooth alignment, the GTS 22 utilizes the trusted GuideRails support system, providing moderate overpronation control that keeps your stride steady and natural without introducing intrusive stiffness. This balanced stability encourages a worry-free run, allowing you to relax into the shoe’s fluid heel-to-toe transitions.
Up top, the double jacquard knit upper offers breathable adaptability with a soft, gently accommodating fit across various foot shapes. Supple, stable, and silky-smooth underfoot, the Glycerin GTS 22 is a reliable companion for stacking mileage or simply savoring every comfortable step.
