Our verdict

The Кроссовки brooks asteria running оригинал a robust and well-constructed daily trainer, ideal for those requiring moderate stability. It's extremely cushioned, comfortable, and supportive, with an outsole that lasts forever. However, we also noticed that the upper tends to run warm and the shoe doesn’t perform well at faster speeds, limiting its versatility across different weather conditions or paces. Despite these issues, we think it's still an exceptional pick for those seeking some support without committing to a full stability model.

Who should NOT buy

Brooks has done a fantastic job with this shoe, but we've found in the lab that it has certain drawbacks, particularly its weight. For instance, shoes like the Hoka Arahi 7 and the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 23, which we also tested here in the lab, are be better options if you're not looking for a max-stack shoe.

Additionally, we do not recommend this model for most runners with a forefoot striking technique due to its high drop. We suggest the Saucony Tempus Супер кроссовки brooks вьетнам оригинал р 39.

Cushioning

Heel stack

In the heel, we measured 37.2mm following World Athletics guidelines, firmly positioning the Glycerin as a max-stack, mild-stability running shoe.

While this might initially spark concerns about getting proper support, we can confidently say it does a great job—it's impressively cushioned and remarkably stable.

Midsole softness

Note: a low durometer measurement equals a soft material, whereas a high measurement means it's firm.

One aspect Brooks could have considered tweaking in this GTS version is the foam. However, we found that it remains unchanged, featuring the same foam that is used throughout the Glycerin series. From our perspective, opting for a slightly firmer compound could have enhanced stability even more for this model.

Consequently, we discovered that the GTS version continues to use the nitrogen-infused EVA known as DNA Loft v3 (20.9 HA). It's a reliable foam that offers sufficient energy return and pop for everyday running.

This test highlighted a significant hardness in the foam when exposed to cold temperatures, which could affect performance for those who live in colder climates.

Stability

Lateral stability test

The "GTS" in the shoe's name stands for "Go To Support," and indeed, support is where this shoe truly excels.

Brooks zapatillas de running Brooks trail constitución media talla 45 Go To Support

It's important to note that Brooks doesn't market this as a stability shoe for severe overpronators, but rather as a hybrid—somewhere between a robust stability shoe garrett leight brooks x 48 10th anniversary limited edition sunglasses 2083 48 bt pgn.

It's exceptionally effective for runners with moderate stability needs, subtly enhancing gait correction and promoting a smoother stride without being obtrusive.

Torsional rigidity

One standout feature when comparing the GTS with the regular edition is its enhanced torsional rigidity, crucial for its mild-stability role.

We scored this feature a robust 4 out of 5, which is significantly higher compared to the standard model's 2 out of 5. This difference highlights the GTS version's focus on providing more support over a flexible ride.

The heel reveals a similar story—we encountered the same large silhouette found in the neutral daily trainer, measuring a significant 100.2 mm.

This dimension fits well within the expectations for a mild-stability running shoe, although it's notably large for a neutral trainer. It appears to us that Brooks opted to standardize the sole across both models, but using the GTS version as a foundational blueprint.

Initially, we were concerned about the GTS's torsional rigidity, but our worries were alleviated after conducting our 90-degree bend test.

The force gauge registered only 23.4N—a relatively low measurement that reassures us of its inherent flexibility. This confirms that the GTS is still suitable as a comfortable daily trainer, ideal for easy paces or even casual walking with your dog.

Weight

Despite weighing 10.6 oz (301g), we were quite pleased with the outcome, as it's only 0.8 ounces heavier than the standard version.

Given the additional rubber in the heel, the GuideRails system, and the reinforced heel counter, the slight increase in weight is quite reasonable!

Breathability

The zapatillas de running Brooks trail constitución media talla 45 borrows the majority of its elements from the Glycerin 21, the go-to model for neutral runners. This includes the upper's warp knit material which, unfortunately, does not excel in breathability.

After our evaluations, we assigned it a modest 3 out of 5 rating. While not terrible, it definitely shows potential for improvement, particularly for those seeking a shoe for hot weather runs.

When we shone a powerful light through the sliced upper, the near absence of light passing through highlights the limited ventilation.

Brooks zapatillas de running Brooks trail constitución media talla 45 microscope

Delving deeper, we examined the knit upper under our microscope and noted a very dense material with barely any ventilation holes—just tiny spaces that don't allow much air to flow through.

Brooks zapatillas de running Brooks trail constitución media talla 45 upper

Despite these shortcomings, the thick upper does contribute positively to comfort, a quality we confirmed through hands-on testing.

Similarly, we were pleased to find substantial padding in both the tongue and heel, consistent with the neutral version of this model.

Toebox durability

Our initial test using the Dremel on the GTS 21 focused on assessing the toebox's durability. We awarded it a modest score of 3 out of 5, which is a positive result, especially for a knit upper.

We're quite satisfied with this, considering the Glycerin's luxuriously plush upper. This performance confirms our belief that the shoe offers decent resilience, especially given the softness of its materials.

Outsole hardness

We turned the shoe over to examine the outsole closely, starting with the hardness of the Roadtack Rubber. The GTS variant, designed specifically for mild-stability runners, includes additional coverage in the midfoot to mitigate wear from overpronation.

Our tests showed the Roadtack Rubber has a hardness of 87.0 HC, emphasizing that this outsole is primarily built for lasting durability over everything else.

Misc

Reflective elements

It came as a letdown to find out that the Glycerin 21 GTS lacks any reflective elements, much like its non-GTS counterpart. We are convinced that incorporating reflective details could significantly benefit runners who prefer late-evening or early-morning runs.
