Expert Review Sources

  • RunRepeat : 82.6 / 100 — « The Glycerin GTS 22 doesn’t try to reinvent anything—and that’s part of its charm. We found in the lab that it delivers a support-loaded ride with top comfort for long runs and world-class outsole durability. Brooks introduced the DNA Tuned midsole as its major improvement, which felt a bit firmer than expected on our runs, but for those who enjoy a stable underfoot experience, it does the job. In our view, it's a good upgrade and a worthy 22nd chapter in the series! »
  • Doctors of Running : 80.4 / 100 — « Designed for road runners seeking a dependable daily trainer option, the Brooks Glycerin GTS 22 provides neutral biomechanical guidance and a well-centered heel bevel (a 10.1 mm drop). Its balance of shock absorption and responsive rebound meets every expectation for daily trainer training. »
  • The Running Collective : 79.9 / 100 — « Across our daily trainer testing on road, the Brooks Glycerin GTS 22 delivers a smooth, dependable ride powered by its DNA Loft v3 midsole. Its upper lockdown and outsole durability on road make it a standout contender at $180. »
