Good review. I almost bought a pair of the GTS 20 at a discounted price. I am 70 and run in stability shoes primarily. I decided to go with the Saucony Omni 22, a brand I have used in the past with good luck. The Omni 22 is much more cushioned than the previous versions and appears to be an upgraded the the Guide 16 with the same medial post and a bit wider last. It feels like it has a bit of a rocker and it ran really smoothly. I tried the Adrenalin GT 3, but it was too firm and I did not like the higher drop. Keep up the good work.
Great to know! I have been considering the Omni after Matt mentioned it in a video. How is the forefoot stability? I was also wondering if if was more stiff with a rocker so I appreciate you mentioning that.
@@Echom4-kr5elI found the shoe to be pretty flexible and allowed me a full range of motion for my ankles during push off. The forefoot is wide and I found my normal size (12.5) ran a little large across the midfoot and just a little bit long. You might want to try a half size down. The tongue is gusseted and not padded much at all. However, it did not bother me on a five mile run. Longer runs might be different. Great stability and cushion for a tricky knee and that has sold it for me.
Absolutely loving my Glycerin GTS 21! Any suggestion of a comparative shoe to add to the rotation? Haven’t been able to nail one down so far that has the same feel.
I love the glycerin, I’ve tried adrenaline 23 gts and launch 10 gts and don’t get my wrong both are good shoes but these were the only shoe that took the pain away from my legs and helped me with my strides.the adrenalines felt heavy and didn’t have enough cushion and the launches were light and had support but again that cushion I ran a 5k and had to slow to a walk as my calves were in pain, but I also have low arches and wide feet. But these felt almost as light as the launch and more support and cushion than the adrenaline. I know peoples feet are different but if your like me with short stocky legs , wide feet low arches you might like these, I might get another pair just for walking
I am looking at purchasing the Glycerin GTS 21. The outside edge of my right foot tilts down. After wearing shoes for six months, they tend to wear down on that outside edge which causes minor pain in my right foot. A shoe salesman told me that this shoe has stability and cushion to help avoid this type of wear. Do you believe this to be correct? Thanks. George
Hey guys. I’m just trying to get back running and am rehabbing a few issues, both in my lower calf (believe bed to be tendinitis) and some post tib tendinitis. I’ve read to great page you put out about post tib issues and found it really helpful. From what I’ve read, it seems a higher drop of 8-12mm would take some pressure off my achilles and calf and for the post rib issues, some sort of guidance is worth trying. I don’t pronate too much and my wear signs are that of a neutral runner. I’m set to try either this, the triumph 22 or the new Tempus 2. Any of them or any other shoes that you think would be the best shot?
I own 3 pairs of brooks auroras, one I retired at 500 miles, and 2 have about 150 miles on them. Have this shoe, and have tried 2 other brooks nitrogen infused shoes, and find them just too darn firm. Bring back the aurora!

SAUCONY Tempus
@@joshbrock1751 I second that! only supportive shoe built for speed

So the Adrenaline will provide better control and support for a heel striking over-pronator?
About to do a video on this, but yes. -Matt
@@DoctorsofRunningI’d love to know which one has the stiffer forefoot, adrenaline or glycerin gts.

I can't say enough good things about the glycerin. I had terrible foot pain and when I started wearing these the pain went away

In terms of softness, how would you compare the Glycerin 21 with the Nike React infinite fkt 3?
Hello bro i want to buy this shoe pls suggest me is it good for long walk and whole day wearing? and howz this color of the shoe!
whats the option alternative to this great model ?
I own 3 pairs of brooks auroras, one I retired at 500 miles, and 2 have about 150 miles on them. Have this shoe, and have tried 2 other brooks nitrogen infused shoes, and find them just too darn firm. Bring back the aurora!
I had the glycerin 20 and it didn’t support my arch at all, even with orthotics. Is this better in the 21?
Try the brooks beast? Or the asics GT-2000
@@iloqin speed 4 is wonderful. About to receive my Superblast.
@@Echom4-kr5el Those are different shoes in general. Beast and GT2k are for arch/stability. I heard the tempus is a fast shoe and also stability.
@@Echom4-kr5el whats your recommendation for a high arch ?
@@pratikmanghwani7417 I’m using the kayano 31. Subtle stability and supports the arch well. More than the 30 for me.
Is this a good shoe for Achilles tendon pain
Is the forefoot width wise the same as the non-gts version?
Yes. The guide-rails, a slight upper change, and a bit more rubber are the only differences between the two.
