I am a flat arch n wide footer guy. I am also a heel striking running guy. This shoe provides enough cushion n support for me. I just hope its durable n last long as my previous Asics Gel Kayano 22 (finally died on me after 7 years). Now giving Brooks a try. I'm averaging 4-6 miles every alternate day runner btw.
@@matheusrural I'm also a flat arch guy and been running with glycerin GTS for about 6-7 months now. I've tried other shoes (HOKA, asics, etc...) but they all did not work very well for me. Glycerin and GTS are the only shoes that work very well for me, especially running 4-6 miles every other day.
I’m 210lbs at 6’3 and I’m wondering if the stiffer foam would be better for a heavier person? Because I know with vehicle what can be a very soft and comfortable suspension on one car would be a horrible suspension that keeps bottoming out on a heavier vehicle…. And I can’t help but think the same mechanics would apply here no?…. so what might not feel pillowy to someone who weighs 150 pounds might feel pretty soft to someone who weighs 70 pounds more? Because 150 pound person and a 220 pound person can’t both get the same results out of the same foam right?…. I’m just thinking out loud here but if anyone has any advice if I’m not completely off base or actually onto something feel free to let me know what this is my thinking as I have your person but maybe I should be doing for stiffer foam like these have. Or am I just wrong?🤔
For some of us who want some stability in the GTX, softer isn’t better. I thought these were better than the adrenaline as a stability shoe. Plenty of cushioning and responsiveness without being too soft.
If I were Saucony, I'd feel called out on simplifying the lineup. They did a decent job with the Endorphin series, but they still have way too many shoes on offering. They could simply call the Guide something like Ride S and the Tempus the Speed S.
Hi, I don't know if I pronate more or not. I have just started training/running, heavyweight, height 1.85cm. Not looking for race or long marathons, just for daily 10km walk plus intermittent runs. Which would you recommend? GLYCERIN 20 REGULAR, OR WITH GTS? And apart from Glycerin, which shoe? Also considering Speed 3. I could buy two pairs, if it would help. Thanks!
Hi, just check the wear on your old shoes... if it wears quicker on the medial (inside) side then you over pronate and will need the GTS and there is more wear in the middle to lateral (outside) side then you supinate and should be ok with a neutral shoe
This video could have been 6 minutes shorter. And you have almost no information about the actual shoes you are holding. What we got instead was a lecture on the product development of shoes. Total bait and switch. Stop yapping and give the information that you say that you are going to give in the thumbnail.
Could I ask Tim how many kms you've put into them? My experience with a previous Glycerine is that they do last forever, but without much of a "special" feel, like in the Novablast or Invincible for example which keep that feeling mile after mile!!
@@bev9708 212 km since 14 July. My main shoe in 4 shoe rotation. I don't have any experience with the Novablast yet. Will definately try those out as well!
@@timverkoyen8742 Oh thanks so much Tim... I'm very curious to see how well they last over time, but I suspect very well!! The Novablast lasts phenomenally well also!!
Interesting you feel this way about the 20 when Tom over at Run Testers LOVES this for his easy miles. I do wish there was a more standardized language for shoe properties. Trying on every shoe for feel isn't realistic in markets outside the US (and frankly likely smaller markets IN the US...)
I'll be honest witchu guys, i watch DoR purely for entertainment purposes. Not gonna buy any of these, not even considering, way waaay out of my budget... Brooks, Asics, Nike wut?... forget about it brah, that's pricey... hahaha Will do my 1st ever race in October and my workhorse shoe is an old as f Kalenji (Decathlon store brand shoe, it's Europe based). It's simple shoe, cushioned, comfortable, durable as hell. I think I bought it for 30 euros or som like that...
@@michaeltanel3815 I'm from Europe. Nah man... low end Nike ain't shit. It's essentially a brick compared to mid range priced Decathlon shoes. Kaleji shoes are alright for running (not exceptional but alright!), even putting in lot of miles. Personally I am running 60-70k/week, mosf of these are in the Kalenji pair. I don't have blisters from them, pain or let alone injury. They are perfectly fine. They are not pretty, not exciting tech, but does the job. I didn't really want to buy from Decathlon just because it's an unpleasant place to shop, but can't argue with value, man...
@@kylestephens9593 Fair point for your experience. Personally, I've tried them here in Canada and they're all way too low and soft. Not blisters but unpleasant/harsh midsole to run in.
@@michaeltanel3815 yes, they don't have soft models, even their softest shoe is rather harsh, i mean for most tastes. i like them, for me softer shoes than decathlon's just don't work, i gave it a try with couple different pairs, but started fo feel pain. kalenji doesn't give me any issues. they are heavy, not grippy and looks like what dads would wear to do yard work but they do work for running, and i mean running not casually jogging. i am a slow runner, but i put in lot of kms in these
I get the previous year's model when they go on sale with the new model coming out, or the year's before even, plus that way I know how the longevity is on them too. I've had €30-€40 shoes in my younger days but no way my body could handle that any more, plus I question the longterm effects of such shoes on your joints over time for those of us who run every or most days!! 🤷🏻♀🤷🏻♀

Now*?
I love the ASICS Kayano 22! I have two more brand new ones, but now they are too small for me!! :( I switched to this shoe too!

Looooove my glycerine 20 GTS. Many easy miles in them. To me the shoe feels nice and cushioned.
