Brooks Men's Adrenaline Gts 20 Running Shoe

Product Information

New, integrated GuideRails support is smoother than ever while just-right cushioning softens every step. The New Balance Fresh Foam Vongo V4 and Mizuno Inspire 15 also delivers a supportive ride without a medial post. One of the major accomplishments of new EVA foam technology such as this (DNA LOFT) is that it is ultra-soft and responsive at the same time, without sacrificing durability.

It's obviously not a deal-breaker, but it's a consideration for those of us with that pernicious habit of dragging ass for the last, let's say 40%, of literally any workout. The first run confirmed my choice to go with my preferred running-shoe size and not go up as I did in Brooks prior to these revamped GTS models of 2021/22.Neither is it soft; even with the recent weight reduction, the Adrenaline still tips the scale at over 10-ounces. It's possible that it might block exterior moisture from getting into the shoe, but it's most likely to help the toebox keep its shape and possibly as a bit of fortification. When I was putting in the long miles, it definitely made a difference that I could feel in my knees and calf/Achilles, and shorter recovery of problem areas.

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. I can confirm that this is a much faster, more responsive ride with great transitions, while still supporting my overpronation. It is actually made with a system that controls motion in the foot to minimize this chain of reactions. Although, there’s a lower chance of that happening on the 20 as it swaps the flat laces with soft round ones. While it has some kick to it, there's not a lot of fighting against the shoe for good foot placement.First slipping on Adrenaline 20 revealed a semi-plush upper reminiscent of Transcend 6 (especially the heel collar) with a notably more firm midsole from its cushioned cousin. It uses the supple padding that's become synonymous with the Brooks name to ensure you're never suffering from lack of cushioning. While it is true that this latest update of one of Brooks Running 's flagships does not bring radical changes, it does improve the feeling of comfort, fit and dynamism in running.
