Thank you for the update. I just got a pair a few weeks ago and so far with 35 miles, I really like them.
Hey Sum! Glad the Glycerin GTS 20s are working out well for you!
Awesome video! Just bought these shoes an hour ago, and your video made me excited to try them out when I get home! Thanks for the review
Thank you!....That's awesome! Let me know how they work out for you 👍
Hey OMV! Nice to meet you. Thank you for the video. I just bought myself a pair of Glycerin GTS 20 and I’m looking forward to getting them. I am currently using a pair of Hyperion Tempo, Ghost 14, Revel 5(more for walking) and I’m planning on getting the new Elite version. Best wishes from România, Europe!
Hey, Popa! Thanks for checking out my video and commenting! Let me know how you like the GTS 20!
Really great review! Thank you
You're very welcome! 👍
I have the 21 but recently bought two of the 20's and I love them.
I like the 20 a bit better than the 21s myself!
Love your enthusiasm!
Thank you! 👍😎👍
I have had the glycerin GTS for a year and they have held up well and perfect for my feet.
Glad to hear the Glycerin GTS is working out for you! 👍🏻
Hi , really interesting. I saw your video about the Kayano 29 and I remember the negative points highlighted. Now I would like to test those, because with Kayano I had some problem, the same that you mention in your video !!
Thanks for the comment! Let me know how the GTS 20s work for you if you decide to try them. Just went past 300 miles in mine.
Loved the review, subbed
Much appreciated! 👍😎👍
Yes, I find the same. It doesn’t feel as heavy as it is. I love running in my Brooks Glycerin 20’s. I don’t have the GTS version.
Brooks glycerin gts 20 has a lot of comfort. I seriously want a pair.
Also really good for high arches. Im not a jogger but i pace 3-4 mph.
I really enjoy my BROOKS GLYCERIN GTS 20, I'm looking forward to getting the new BROOKS GLYCERIN GTS model in 2023.
Me as well! Was my main shoe during last summer's Marine Corps Marathon training!
I was surprise that it was responsive when I tried to keep up w/ my faster friends. Might used for long runs with a few marathon pace portion. Was also thinking of purchasing the Kayano 30 for my long runs but as you said its hard to increase the pace on that shoe. Maybe the Kayano 30 can work as a recovery shoe instead or I'll get the 29 for more flexibility.
Great review! I have found the Glycerin 20 GTS a great shoe as well. Wanted ask if ever use orthotics in your shoes? I have had multiple foot issues and wondered fi you have had any luck w/ insoles. Thanks!!
Hey Tim! Thanks!....I actually used to wear orthotics back in high school and college, and tried them again about 3 1/2 years ago. For me, they actually made things worse! Same thing with after-market insoles! I walk barefoot all the time at home, and over the years my feet and arches have strengthened vs my younger days, however I feel the biggest reason I no longer use them is that today's stability shoes are so much better than in the past. The science is now moving away from severe motion-control as some pronation is necessary (natures shock absorber) to more gentle support. As for the insoles themselves, I find the included insoles have more than enough arch support for me in todays shoes. As you can see from my reviews, I can even wear some inherently stable neutral shoes these days, especially for racing!...As I'm not a Podiatrist, however, I would not suggest ignoring their advice, but would definitely challenge them if they pushed orthotics on me. Just my opinion.
Great long term review! Have you thought about possibly reviewing the new Mizuno Inspire 19? Seems they removed the post in this shoe and added cushioning.
Hey Tom! Thanks!.... I actually included the Inspire 19 in my Community Page Poll to decide on the next stability shoe to review. The Saucony Guide 16 won out, but I may try the Inspire 19 anyway considering I haven't worn/reviewed a Mizuno shoe as of yet. Thanks for the suggestion!
I have the regular and love it ! It will go 500 miles !! And I am 200 lbs almost and crush the midsole of a lot of shoes way before the outsole or uppers go out
That's awesome, Paul! It's a great shoe, and one of my favorites. Hopefully Brooks won't mess with a good thing!
Very comfy shoes. Getting my second gts my first pair i have about 500 plus hrs finally just started wearing out on the sole. Hoka , nike nope dont touch the glycerins period.
Thanks for the great review, glad they're holding up well. I just ordered the exact same pair two days ago, along with the Hoka Gaviota 4. I'm leaning toward using the Glycerins as a general, everyday shoe and the Gaviotas when I know I'll be logging heavy mileage during the day.
BTW, how long had you been wearing these before the outsole started separating?
Hey @Crusty_Otter!....Thanks for the comment! As for your question, the outsole hasn't separated at all. I use the Shoe Goo to build up the worn areas of the outsole to gain extra life. The outsole and midsole is holding up well after 300 miles 👍
@Old Man Van Running
I had no idea Shoe Goo could be used that way, that's handy to know. Can't wait to try these out when they come in, my last real running shoes were all leather Reeboks. Loved the light weight, plush cushion and the durability of the leather uppers. I haven't seen any all leather runners since that pair - close to 20 years ago. I'm still really curious about the Altra Paradigm 6 (?) and the Hoka Speed Goat 5 (?). Maybe when it's time to replace my current pairs.
Thanks for the review ! Can we use this for running and playing Tennis ?
Which shoe would you recommend for running and playing a sport such as tennis ?
Hi Yuvaraj! Thanks for checking out the video!...I wouldn't recommend playing tennis in a pair of running shoes as they are not designed for the lateral stresses that tennis shoes are and that tennis creates. The GTS 20 is nowhere near stable enough for tennis in my opinion. Another point would be that tennis shoes have soles designed specifically for that sport.
I study voice acting and one thing I can tell you is that you have a nice timbre, which is already light and high enough in terms of pitch to keep your audience engaged. Just be careful not to overdo it with the high-pitched voice, because then you go full on cartoon style (see the segment when you say "shoe goo").
P.S. the shoes are great :D
Thanks for checking out my video and for the constructive feedback. My style is definitely not for everyone, as some enjoy the more goofy stuff while others not so much. I will definitely take all feedback into consideration to improve my delivery so as to appeal to the largest audience. Thanks again! 👍
I love it when he says Shoe Goo ! Rock on OMV
I´m running in the Guide 15 for 6 months now and want to buy another stability shoe for slower longer runs. Like the Guide but i want to try something softer and more cushioned. What would you buy, this glycerin or the Hoka Arahi 6? Thanks for the great videos full of energy!
Hey @Bjoernify! 👋 Glad you like the videos!....I would hands down choose the Glycerin GTS 20 over the Arahi 6 for long runs. It's more cushioned but still has a little bounce to it. Stability excellent but not overdone. Was my primary long run shoe for my last marathon training block.
Cheers!
I actually just picked up the GTS 20's. Found them on sale at Dick's!! Out of the box I did a quick 2 mile run!! They were great!! Cushioning was great out of the box. The shoe did not feel heavy. I felt it had great propulsion also. I'd like to take them on a little longer haul and see how they do.
That's awesome! 👌 Glad they're working out for you! Definitely one of my favorites. They're a great long-run shoe 👍
Update!! Took them on a couple of longer runs (5-8 miles). Already the cushioning is kicking in nice!! My feet felt like I was running on pillows!! Can't wait to try the 21's!!!
I’ve never owned a pair of brooks I’m used to ASICS, I do have a pair of brooks coming in the mail tomorrow from Amazon I hope they’re worth it
Thanks for the comment! Let me know how you like them. 👍
Any updates?
Hey OMV! Great review! Would you recommed this for a novice heavy runner looking to run a gradual 5K about 5 times a week?Also can the guiderails be a probllem for me as I'm not sure if I pronate or not?
Thanks
Much appreciated! Thanks!...These might be fine based on your description. The great thing about the guiderails is that they provide subtle but effective control and can be worn by neutral runners as well as pronators. I do recommend trying them on to make sure they fit you well. Also, look for retailers with a good return policy just in case 👍
@@oldmanvanrunning Thank you for the reply!!
Would you say this is your preferred choice over the ASICS kayano 30 as a long run and or easy run shoe ? I have the tempus and ASICS superblast but want a really comfy shoe for long slow runs or recovery runs and I'm torn between the glycerine GTS. .. the Kayano 30 and the nimbus 25 and yes I know that isn't classed in the stability category .... And thoughts on those choices ? By the way I'm 175cm tall and weigh about 85kg
Thanks for checking in!....I would say the GTS 20 is my preferred choice over the Gel-Kayano 30. The primary reason for me is the comfort of the upper. I have struggled with hot spots in the Gel-Kayano while never having similar problems with the GTS 20. Both shoes are great for long and easy runs as far as cushioning is concerned....As far as the Nimbus 25, I can't say as I've never tried them....I just purchased the Glycerin GTS 21, and will be doing a video review of it and also a comparison between it, the New Balance Vongo V6, and the Gel-Kayano 30.
what do you think GLYCERIN GTS 20 compared with Tempus? Which one you will pick for your half marathon or full marathon?
Hey, Blue! If I had to choose between these two shoes for both races, it would be the Tempus in both cases. The only caveat would be if my goal was just to finish a marathon in comfort, I would pick the Glycerin GTS 20.
For someone who has trouble with shin splints and moderate arch in their feet, is this a good option? I’ve been debating between the Hoka arahi 6 and the glycerin gts 20
Thanks for checking out my video!...I can't speak specifically to shin splints, but either shoe would work for a moderate arch. Of the two, the Arahi 6 has a more pronounced rocker and is less cushioned than the GTS 20 .
Great review, how does this shoe compare to the tempus?
Thanks for the comment!....This shoe is heavier, less responsive, but more cushioned than the Tempus. I currently have both in my rotation, and use this shoe as my primary long run shoe while using the Tempus for up-tempo runs of all distances. The other difference is that the GTS 20 has a 10mm heel to toe drop whereas the Tempus is 8mm. Overall, the Tempus is the more versatile of the two shoes.
Okay 1, more question do you prefer the Glycerin GTS 20s or the Brooks Hyperion Tempo?
Two different use cases. The Glycerin GTS 20 is a max-cushioned daily stability trainer, while the Hyperion Tempo is a lightweight, stable-neutral shoe designed for fast training and racing. I love them equally for their specific uses.
I have a problem with my heels sliding in a shoe, will the heel and guide rails hold up with support as well as adrenaline's....I need support but want comfort as well
Hey, Kelley! There's a bit more cushioning here than in the Adrenaline, but it should hold up pretty well.
I put 800miles into mine. Literally looks brand spanken new but I'm retiring them for the sake of being bored running with them.
Prob the best shoe for beginners to build a base of weekly mileage without getting injuries.
Thank you Glycerin!
Thanks for the comment! That's awesome! 👌 The GTS 20 was my go-to marathon training shoe last summer, and I am looking forward to the GTS 21 later this year. Great shoe, and STILL in my rotation!
I went to a running store and the staff recommended this Glycerin 20s. I liked the way it fit compared to the other shoes I tried on. I have some pronation nothing too extreme. A little more in one foot than the other. They recommended this shoe with the Spenco total support max inserts. What are your thoughts on Inserts? Back story I am not much of a runner. In my prime, I did two 3-mile runs a week. I was able for 3 months to run 7 miles once a week which is the highlight of my running career. I did all of this without an insert or knowing much about my arch and pronation. So this time around I decided to do more research before getting back into running. What are your thoughts?
I wanted your opinion on if you think I should get the sneaker with the insert?
I think the Glycerin GTS 20 is perfect without an aftermarket insert. I find that it's often a sales tactic to get folks to buy something additional. For me, the only time I would consider another insole would be under the guidance of a Podiatrist. Shoe salespersons are not qualified to diagnose and prescribe. Just my two cents.
Sorry for the delay...I was preparing a reply and got pulled away.
@@oldmanvanrunningthank you very much
i have severe to moderate knee pain . any suggestions for a good shoe? i cant run just yet due to the pain . but i love to walk outside
Thanks for the question...Unfortunately, I am not qualified to diagnose the cause of your knee pain. My recommendation would be to have that assessed by a professional first before deciding on the appropriate running shoe. Hope this helps.
go go go- thanks Van
Thanks for the comment and support!
OMV how about the performance brooks glicerine GTS 20 vs Asics Nova Blast3
I haven't tried the Novablast 3, so I can't say for certain, but I think it may be more responsive due to lighter weight and the midsole.
Just bought them . Same colour. Run them tomorrow.🇳🇱
That's awesome! Let me know what you think of them.
@@oldmanvanrunning Yes I Will.👍🏼
Perfect shoe for me . The fit is perfect and liked the feel when running them. No problems so far.👌 . 🇳🇱
@caskstrength7629 That's awesome! Glad they're working out for you!
Glad these worked out so well for you. I have about 10 miles in mine. Def fit more TTS than the 19 but I'm finding them kind of narrow this go around but possibly loosening up? Did you have to go through a break in period? TIA!
Hey JB! The 20s did loosen up a bit over time, however they were very comfortable for me right out of the box. I wear a regular width D, and the toe box and midfoot fit very well. Are they a bit narrow for you in the midfoot or toe box?
@@oldmanvanrunning Thanks for the reply! Toe box rubs my right big toe a bit and my right foot it feels too snug in the mid foot. Right is my wider foot. No issues on my left. I am picking up the tempus and guide 15 this week too (guide 15 is super discounted right now). Currently starting to build base miles in prep for eventual marathon prep for first marathon attempt at Cape Cod marathon in October. Probably doing the Cheshire half marathon again in April too :) I'm a bigger runner from lifting weights (5'7" 175 pounds) and have struggled with IT band left leg injuries and right calf/PTT/ankle injuries in the past and I'm finally giving in and going with stability shoes from the start to give my legs a break.
@@JB-hq9yj Got it. Hopefully they'll loosen up a bit for you. Interested in how the Tempus and Guide 15 compare for your feet. Let me know....I'll be running Cheshire again as well! Please say hello if you're there!...I will be doing a video on my approach to injury prevention, including my strength and flexibility program, in the near future. We're all different, but I've had some similar issues that have benefitted from it. Stay tuned!
@@oldmanvanrunning Sounds great I'll def check it out. I ran Cheshire last year too, hit my goal of sub 2 hours, I didn't see you there but there was a ton of people and you're def much faster than me! If I see you this year I'll def say hi. Thank you!
I'm a size 13 and I've looked at a couple Brooks and seem they run smaller, does this shoe run smaller or more true to size?
Thanks for the question! For me, the GTS 20 is true to size. It's got more room in the toe box than the GTS 19 as well as the Adrenaline series.
I went up 1/2 size on the glycerin 20.
Im about to buy, which would u recommend Adrenaline gts 23 or glycerine gts 20?
Thanks for the question.....For me, it's the Glycerin GTS 20 hands down. More cushioned and more responsive in my experience. Also, the 12mm heel to toe drop in the Adrenaline is just too high for me. The Glycerin is 10mm
My glycerin 20 gts were delivered yesterday, size 7 and i found the inner guide rail putting pressure in my inner foot. Should i go 7.5 uk size now or 8?
Im thinking of getting the normal ones over the gts, what do you think?
@@sarthakboi The regular should be fine as long as you don't require stability features.
I bought this shoes,is this shoes durable,do you like its looking
Thanks for the questions!..These shoes are very durable. I have over 300 miles in mine and expect at least 400 miles. As for looks, they're pretty nice as well 👍
Whats the difference between these adrenaline and ghost?
The Glycerin GTS is more cushioned and has a lower drop (10mm vs 12mm). Also it's more responsive. 👌
Obviously not a trail shoe, but you think it could hold its own on some moderate trails with some rocks?
I think it could, however the outsole may not last as long as a trail shoe would. It also may not be as stable depending on the type/size of rocks. If minimal, it may work ok.
@@oldmanvanrunning thanks
Love that color of glycerine gts but can't seem to find anymore.
Hey Mike! Road Runner Sports has this color in stock: www.roadrunnersports.com
Should I buy the regular one or the GTS?
All depends on whether you need a stability shoe or not. If you normally wear stability shoes, I would recommend the GTS.
@@oldmanvanrunning thanks for the advice! Not sure about if I have over pronation, but the outside of my shoe wears out faster. Will try them in store.
Glycerine 20 vs GTS 20 which is better?
Only difference is the guiderails in the GTS which adds stability. If you are a stability runner, the GTS is the better choice.
@@oldmanvanrunning And what about the comfort and sole quality, i guess it is the same?
@@dr.atiravkapoor6827 Yes..The same
Le glycerin 19 gts molto meglio delle 20 per la mia esperienza. La tomaia ha ceduto sull'aluce.
E' stata la prima volta che le brooks mi hanno deluso ed ho dato prevalenza alle Saucony Guide 15 e Tempus.
My apologies, Raffaele. Would you be able to translate this comment to English? Thank you sir.
He said he preferred the 19 GTS to the 20, that the front wore out, and that he is going to try the Guide 15 and Tempus. And I agree, the 19 felt a bit harder in the beginning but were very comfortable for me in the long run, while my 20 are causing me blisters and I have to wear band-aids. I'm also going to try the Guide 15, as they are half the price of the Brooks (those get almost no discounts in my country).
@MaQy That illustrates how a shoe that works great for one may not work for another. In the end, each of us needs to find what works for our unique physiology. Hopefully, my experience with a shoe will be beneficial to more people than not....The Guide 15 is a great shoe! 👍 It is on the firmer side, but I have really enjoyed it. Let me know what you think....Thanks for the translation.
