I'm such a newbie but I over pronate pretty much like this and my local running shop suggested the brooks glycerin 22 gts. Been out in them today and oh my lord, they're amazing! The support is something else l! Well worth the money!

What about the new Revel Max? They may work. Also the Ghost Max work. I have the Glycerin GTS 22's in the same color, actually. Have you tried the shoes with the original insoles?

I went to feet fleet as a totally new runner and they suggested a stability shoe. I went with the glycerin GTS and while they are super, super comfortable, after about 7 weeks I thought they were just too soft and cushy. My feet were always sore. Went to a very active and independent running shop to get fitted again and I now am running in the Ghost 16s which I love so much more. I had nothing to compare the glycerins to so I didn’t really know what to expect but I prefer a shoe with less cushion.

I only have two. Easy/recovery: Brooks Glycerin 22 GTS Tempo/workout/long run: asics Superblast 2 I think I’ll be using the superblast for my upcoming races too

I really like them. They have a very wide base so are nice and stable, especially considering how soft the foam is. Some say they are only good as easy runs but it’s been the opposite for me, they feel nice and responsive. Are they as stable as my Glycerin 22 GTS? No, but they certainly haven’t caused any issues for me

My local running store told me I overpronate and said the Brooks Glycerin GTS 22 was one of the better options for me. I used them for about a week and they gave me a wicked blister on the inside of my heel. I exchanged them for a Brooks Ghost 17 (which I think is a neutral shoe) and have been so much happier. Just my personal experience

Im 86kg, CrossFiter and training to improve my running. Previously I used the UA Infinite Elite 2 but I found them quite unstable. Tweak my ankle.pretty bad in an agressive turn. Switched to the Glycerin 22 GTS (support version) and I have find them quite stable for picking the pace but soft enough to protect my joints. They are not for sprinting that said but in my capacity they give me what I need in 5k and onwards.
