Womens Glycerin GTS 22 Supportive Running Shoe - Plush GuideRails

Our review of the Womens Glycerin GTS 22 finds a cushioned, stability-focused road running shoe that suits runners who want plush landings without losing forward momentum. The biggest reason to consider these is the combination of DNA Tuned cushion and GuideRails support, which together deliver soft, responsive heel-to-toe transitions while keeping excess motion in check. Fit and breathability are improved by a new double jacquard knit upper, making the Glycerin GTS 22 a sensible pick for daily runs, gym sessions, or anyone needing an accommodating, supportive trainer.

Key Features

• GuideRails support: Holistic support system guides the foot along its natural motion path to reduce excess movement and help stabilization during runs.
• DNA Tuned cushion: Dual-size midsole cells create a soft, plush heel landing and a responsive forefoot toe-off for smoother transitions.
• Accommodating fit: Double jacquard knit upper offers flexible, breathable coverage that adapts to the foot while holding up to regular use.
• Smooth, stable transitions: A broad platform and tuned heel-to-forefoot geometry promote steady heel-to-toe roll for road running.
• Certified diabetic shoe: PDAC A5500 certification means the shoe meets standards for diabetic footwear needs.

Who It's For

The Glycerin GTS 22 is best for recreational and everyday runners who prioritize cushioning and joint-friendly support, especially those who benefit from stability features to manage excess pronation. It also fits well for cross-training and gym use when a stable, cushioned platform is helpful.

Runners seeking an ultra-narrow racing fit or those who prefer a minimalist, low-profile shoe should look elsewhere, as the Glycerin GTS 22 emphasizes plush cushioning and a broader, more stabilizing platform rather than maximum speed or minimal drop. Also, shoppers who need an exceptionally wide toe box may find the forefoot feel snug.
