Brooks Men's Adrenaline Gts 20 Running Shoe

Product Information

The smooth-transition design makes it feel lighter than it is, while it still sports the cushion and stable upper of a traditional heavy-duty distance shoe; the thin outsole will be the first to go. And its stable fit gives you the footing you need for speedwork and explosiveness, making it a good option for cross-training and gym work.

This includes GuideRails that will keep you moving in comfort while they correct any excess movement in your gait. The outsole is also well covered by a thick layer of rubber that covers almost the entire region, conferring more than adequate protection. Importantly, at the top of the big toe, Brooks designers have opted to include a small reinforced patch. That's because its stability features, while effective, aren't overpowering or so rigid that they make you clumsy when you try to twist, flex, or pivot.

I did break a cardinal rule and even bought a brand new pair the day before my target marathon performance (having run in this same shoe training the past few months), and it was perfect.

Like other Brooks models, it comes in four different width sizes in both the men’s and women’s versions. The combination of “StealthFit” plus “Support” would create a comfortable lifestyle shoe that will handle a few miles on the weekends, or a moderately supportive shoe for low-stability needs.Minor changes to the base and added medial support strips to an overall slimmed-down upper mean this Go-To-Shoe just keeps getting better!

A plush tongue stays in place put does not connect to an internal bootie like Transcend’s, and Brooks does not cinch on heel support to cut weight. All of the above combine to produce a shoe that thankfully is not overly-plush/sinking cushion, and an extremely fun ride. Work through a stiff upper to break the shoe in yet have more stability long haul, or try the StealthFit option to skip that step. Take your pick from the dependable Asics GT-2000 8, the New Balance 860 V10, and the Nike Structure 22.

To get to the current badassness of the GTS 20, Brooks preserved the baseline Adrenaline model and added a few new features. With regards to style, they went all out to diversify and offer tonnes of cool patterns and colours for all runners' tastes. Otherwise, the GTS is a very comfortable neutral – uh, stability trainer that works for most runs except speed days. The stretchy ankle opening reminds me of New Balance’s Fresh Foam Vongo V4, which I really like and just pulled out for some miles yesterday. We've shifted our focus beyond the feet to the most injury-prone part of a runner's body: the knees.

A neutral shoe makes up roughly 80% of available running shoes and have the same level of cushioning in the heel and the forefoot making it suitable for a large section of runners. The heel cup and collar padding also work quite well together to gently clasp around the heel and ankle, so the shoe adheres really well. Overall, I'd say it's definitely worth a try to get a feel for this new option in stability technology and see if it works for you! The outsole pattern has the same general design as previous models, with diagonal hash marks gracing the rubber pattern (why?

There's very little slippage, and most runners will never have to worry about anything approaching a blister. The Classic fit option combines a standard, durable, double-layer engineered mesh upper with traditional lacing and a moderately-plush tongue. This may not be an issue if most of your miles are on pavement, and depends on other factors of course — please note I am a 140 lb midfoot striker.
