Brooks Women's Adrenaline Gts 20 Running Shoes

Product Information

To explain further, the extra support won’t inhibit you if you don’t need it. At the same time, if your feet start to roll in further, the support guides your ankles and knees through a better path. In fact, Brooks’ research showed them that this style of support is the best way to reduce knee problems during running. As the support helps you when required, it works well for runners whose left and right legs move in distinct ways from one another. For example, you may only get one sore knee during a run. Brooks says it made a small change this year to the way it manufactures the GuideRails in the shoe. Instead of making each part separately and putting them together afterward, the new process creates the midsole and GuideRail components at the same time for a more cohesive guidance system. We position the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 23 in our Float Experience category because the cushioning feels soft, plush and forgiving underfoot. This means they’re most suited to slower to steady paced runs and are an excellent choice for long distance runs. It’s for these reasons that the Adrenaline GTS are very popular marathon running shoes. If you’re looking for maximum cushioning, you may want to consider the Brooks Glycerin franchise. Like the GTS 19, severe overpronators might struggle with the GTS 20 – the guide rail does not have the traditional support of previous versions of the adrenaline, but has more of a neutral fit that caters for the mild overpronator. DNA cushioning But, and this is a big but, that’s a bit pointless if you’re then going to lug around a 300g+ shoe as a neutral runner. Moreover, if you’re doing 30 miles per week, you probably know more about your pronation than most and can choose shoes accordingly.

Separate foams heel to toe mirrors Brooks’ neutral trainer Ghost with the addition of the GuideRails® Holistic Support System, which also offers guidance on the Ravenna and Transcend.

Here’s the beauty of Brooks’ newly Guided foot motion: the same level of support in Adrenaline 19-20 is offered in a more plush version, Transcend, and a more speed-focused version, Ravenna. The Adrenaline 20 is as solid of a running shoe as you’ll find. In an era when running shoe tech is pushing the limits of human performance, the no-frills feel of the Adrenaline won’t surprise you—and that’s exactly why we love it. Like other Brooks running shoes, designers outfitted the 20th edition of the Adrenaline with GuideRails—Brooks’ new, holistic answer to stability. While support or stability shoes have historically solved only for overpronation with a medial post, this GuideRail technology shifts the focus of support from your foot to your knee.

There aren’t many differences between the 19th and 20th versions of the Adrenaline, so fans of the outgoing model will find a nearly identical experience in the new one.With the price point of the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 22 I’d tend to think it’s marketed at the enthusiastic daily runner. Someone who's cruising 30 miles a week. With a stability system that goes above and beyond, it completely makes sense. However, there's a caveat.
