Glycerin StealthFit 21 (120410)

Trail running to road running recommendations. First off I'm really new to running but I have enjoyed trail running especially in my Asics Gel-trabuco 13, with no foot pain or leg pain, I also use them to hike and they've been a great all rounder. Unfortunately the trails in the UK have been battered with bad weather and it's just not enjoyable on them at the moment so I'm trying road running. A couple of years ago I bought some Brooks glycerine stealthfit 21, they were recommended for heavier runners, which I was (140+kg) and they seemed to help but never really enjoyable, that's why I changed to trail with the Asics. I've tried the Brooks again but they aren't very enjoyable and I get a bit of foot and knee pain. Over the weekend I took the Gel-trabuco 13's on the road for two 5k runs and no foot and knee pain, so I'm leaning towards getting new road shoes and after recommendations like the Gel-trabuco 13. I'm now 104kg with a goal of 100kg for now and reevaluate once I get to my goal on what I want my final goal to be. Having a look online it seems to be between the Asics GT-2000 14 or Asics Gel-kayano 32. Just wondering if anybody's had any experience with either and a heavier weight on them? There is nowhere local (within 1hr) to try them on or have a fitting so unfortunately I'll have to do it online.

They've been soft for me, but agree with the comments on instability and the thin tongue. Right now these are my only shoes, since I bought the Glycerin 21 stealth fits for long slow runs and hate them. Ive Been wearing these on long runs (15-25mi) at about a 10 minute mile pace. Not at all what they're meant for but have served me well so far. Im used to the instability at this point but when I first got them I thought I was going to roll and ankle with each step.

I’ve never had the glycerin max, but I have had the glycerin 19, 20 and 21 they all worked out great for me

Brooks Glycerin 22 or 24, or Brooks Glycerin Max are great options Max more cusion and standard glycerin great balance of comfort and stability.

Sales + runrepeat. Needs to be at least half off. If I’m being honest more like 66%+ off. I’m running in speed 2s, Boston 11s, triumph 19, and glycerin 20s because they were on sale.

The test seems accurate to what I've seen with the shoes I have (Mizuno Wave Sky 8 and Brooks Glycerin 20).

My shoe purchases this year: Nike Vomero 16 (£59.99) Brooks Glycerin 20 (£73.80) Mizuno Wave Sky 6 (£54) I haven’t paid full-price for a pair of running shoes since Vomero 1 came out, and that was only because the store did an excellent job with gait analysis that helped cure longstanding shin issues. Never buy budget shoes - buy great shoes at good prices from previous seasons.
