Tracksmith Eliot Ryder Review: A High Cushion Shoe in Disguise
Shoe and Gear Reviews
Treat Your Feet to Cushy Comfort
The Brooks Glycerin GTS 22 is a plush, high-cushion trainer that’s seen a complete midsole upgrade this time around. This iteration features new DNA Tuned cushioning, a finely-tuned, nitrogen-infused foam that creates different zones of comfort. Larger cells in the heel give you a softer feeling while the tightly packed cells create a more responsive experience at toe-off. When you need a little extra guidance, the Glycerin GTS 22 has your back with the GuideRails support system. This innovative technology supports your body’s natural motion to help keep excess movement to a minimum.
Brooks didn’t stop at a midsole redesign, they kept the upgrades coming with an all-new double-jacquard mesh upper. This upper feels more luxurious than the previous warp-knit material, adding thick cushion around your heel and ankle. To help increase the longevity of the Glycerin GTS 22, strategically placed rubber is used along the outsole, enhancing the overall traction and durability.
Features & Benefits:
- DNA Tuned foam cushioning is nitrogen-infused for a plush yet responsive experience
- GuideRails supports system helps guide your stride, keeping excess motion to a minimum
- New engineered double jacquard knit upper adds flexibility for a more accommodating fit
- Rubber outsole provides enhanced grip and traction on various surfaces
- A broad platform helps stabilize your foot to encourage smoother transitions

Glycerin GTS 22 Review [Staff Review]
I've been super happy with these shoes! I had never been a huge Brooks fan but these shoes are really nice. They're soft but responsive and lightweight enough. I think this is a great light stability shoe! However, after only a handful of wears, the material around the front of the shoe is buckling in.

I believe there's a new version of this that may have come out in late fall, so it's possible I'm now wearing one of the last of the old type. I wear these Gylcerin GTS sneakers constantly for their comfort and cushioning, especially for someone with bad ankles. However, this means I also have to buy them constantly, because they lose their cushioning quickly. If you can afford more than one or two purchases a year, I strongly recommend them, and maybe the newest version has solved the problem. I hope so.

Glycerin GT 22
I love these shoes and pretty much wear nothing else (which means, unfortunately, that I buy many pairs a year--cost is my only complaint). They cushion beautifully but don't feel like you're walking on the moon, and give the right support for Achilles tendinitises like mine.

Brook's Women's Glycerin GTS 22
These cushion wonderfully, like walking on balloons. I have Achilles tendonitis and plantar fasciitis and both have been helped. Like all sneakers, if you wear them constantly (as I do), they wear down fast, and like all shoe companies Brooks is constantly "improving" the model, so just know what you buy and love today will not be what you buy and love in the future. But for today, they are great.

Cushioned [STAFF REVIEW]
Initially the Glycerin was very comfortable, cushioned and responsive however, the longer I wore it I started to get pain on the medial side of my ankle. The wide was a perfect fit and provided plenty of space.
