The update of one of Brooks Running ' s most iconic sagas remains true to its essence, offering a more natural and less aggressive ride for the running foot. v=1653860894"}},"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]},{"id":36881106698393,"title":"5. The reconfigured sole-to-sole ratio allows DNA LOFT augmentation for even more extreme softness underfoot without losing responsiveness or durability throughout your run. It’s upper is not as premium as the Transcend’s upper, but everything else tips too deeply into the Topo’s favor to not go that route. The Transcend series has seen some ups and downs over the years but the Glycerin 19 GTS has had a real makeover.

I caught myself enjoying slow-paced runs and quickly started wearing the Brooks shoe for casual wear as well as long days at work, requiring a lot of standing. Super soft cushioning DNA loft cushioning provides a soft and relaxed feel to the sole of the foot without losing responsiveness or longevity, while the Ortholite insole provides excellent wearing comfort. It isn’t the fastest or lightest but it will almost certainly become my next go-to trainer for the next 1000+ kilometres. If you are familiar with the Brooks Transcend, you will notice a few tweaks from the Transcend 6 to the 7. I appreciate the full disclosure that you’re neutral runners, but it’s hard to parse out whether this is a good shoe for the runner it is actually designed for.

What sets it apart is the GuideRails technology of the midsole – a support system that reduces the rate of pronation to align your body into its most efficient motion path. According to Brooks, Guide Rails will come into play, as needed, for both support oriented and neutral runners (as their stride falls out of place). If you have any questions, comments or queries about the Brooks Glycerin 19 GTS or where it sits with regards to the Glycerin 19, or if you've been a Brooks Transcend 7 wearer previously and you want to let us know how you've gone please contact our Sportitude shoe experts. I have tested a number of “rails” type support shoes including, React Infinity, Solar Boost and Altra Paradigm as well as less overt raised midsole side wall type support shoes such as Nike Zoom Vomero 14. This includes a full ground contact outsole with strategic zones of harder wearing rubber and super plush full-length DNA Loft cushioning.Sam: The Arhai 4 takes a different approach to support with a very broad platform and a slightly firmer J Frame EVA on the medial side. Nothing has really changed with regards to where they've placed the GuideRails on the medial side from the Transcend 7 and the Glycerin GTS 19. I jumped right in with the shoe but they really didn't feel fluid and comfortable until after about 20 miles. It's not overly intrusive which is great because the thickness of memory foam around the internal heel collar is just about perfect. This shoe feels very supportive, and this update has not gotten rid of the classic features that we love about the Brooks Beast/Ariel.

Overall the midsole here provides as cush a ride as the Glyercin but with that noticeable support from the rails. That's going to provide a stable feel around the back of your heel so when you contact the ground your heel doesn't move around. Let’s begin with the fact I have never run in a version of the Brooks Transcend, so I had no idea what to expect, except for no medial post (which I greatly appreciate). A new version that incorporates the company's star midsole, the DNA Loft, which favors a more natural and efficient running stride. Said one: ‘The Transcend has middle-of-the-road cushioning—not too soft that I feel like I’m wearing bedroom slippers, and not too firm that I feel every crack and pebble beneath my foot.Icons caret-sm-white star-half circle-drag icon-checkmark-nocircle icon-envelope Left Arrow Scroll down Scroll down close Expand Scroll down quote-marks squiggle Play Play Pause Pause long squiggle squiggle 1 close filter-icon Info Compare Compare Selected Information Check Icon Plus Icon Minus Icon Check Icon Check Icon IoLfEV84vfPSqP3site turnto. One of our testers, Paul Fenton, summarised this shoe nicely: ‘I would recommend this shoe to anybody who wants a dependable, comfortable training shoe that could be used across a wide range of conditions and courses.

It’s a stable running shoe and Brooks are using their GuideRail technology on that medial side so it's catering for a mild overpronator.In the last year I’ve run 10+ miles more than 60 times, so safe to say I know how my legs should feel during and after a longer run, and this was a unique and unpleasant experience.
