Brooks Women's Adrenaline Gts 20 Running Shoes

Product Information

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. Want to see even more running shoes? We have plenty for you to browse, including men’s and women’s running trainers. Running shoes are specifically created to be breathable and flexible while providing support and bounce to optimise your run, so we recommend taking your time and finding the right pair for you. The shoe is stable without feeling clunky, and the clean new upper gives it a polished look. Fleet Feet testers praised the shoe’s staying power as one of the most reliable stability rides around. So I take the extra 20 seconds to snug up the laces on Adrenaline! They start to loosen slightly about 4.5 miles into a run, and the fit relaxes too much if avoid an extra tug-through at the start (if they’ve been loosened for all-day comfort). Last year’s shoe employed oval-shaped perforations to vent heat and moisture out of the shoe; this year’s version has more uniform openings over the forefoot that switch into lines around the midfoot (as far as we could tell from our testing, this is a purely aesthetic update).

Reflective patches atop the posterior heel and running along the lateral toe alert drivers in low light. Arch height is medium. 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. In this range, you’ll find Brooks Adrenaline GTS 20 and 19 models, plus we can show you the latest ranges of Brooks GTS 21, Brooks GTS 22, and many more besides. We also have Brooks Adrenaline GTS women’s and men’s varieties, so no matter who you’re shopping for, you’ll find something for them here.Given the narrow design of Brooks, I’m up a half size and so take extra care to tighten the laces toward the ball, or I get blisters from friction. If long runs of 10+ miles are your main training motif, yet you want a shoe that can also handle intervals, go with the Adrenaline GTS 20. Last year, Brooks added the new guide rails to the Adrenaline. This year, they’ve updated them slightly. In a small alteration to the GTS 19, Brooks are now offering a co-bonded set- up, meaning the guide rail sits bonded into the midsole and runs along the lateral side of the shoe, from the heel, all the way along to the forefoot, offering extra support. In addition, Brooks is determined to prevent knee and hip pain by guiding foot motion, offering holistic support for the runner.

The Brooks Adrenaline GTS is one of our most popular running shoes at Run4It. They might just be one of the best stability running shoes ever made. Now on its 23rd edition, the latest Brooks Adrenaline features the most cushioned underfoot feel to date. This is because the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 23 has been updated with DNA LOFT v2. The most noteworthy change is the use of overlays. Brooks stripped the midfoot overlays off the 20’s upper for a cleaner overall look. 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.

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. Our testers were impressed with the amount of support on offer, one writing, ‘I usually have to wear custom insoles but found that I didn’t have to in this shoe. I loved the arch support and the stability was fantastic.’ 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. Rubix and Adrenaline function well to guide the foot, for the same workouts; the determining factor for you might be Rubix’s drop height of 8 mm. compared with Adrenaline’s 12 mm.

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.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 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. Fans will also notice different shoelaces. The laces in the 19 were flat with a slight bit of stretch, but the laces threaded through the 20 are tubular and noticeably stretchier—they’re the same laces our testers loved in the Brooks Ghost 12 review. 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. 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. The new engineered-mesh upper design is lighter yet maintains structure with support strips from the medial heel up to laces, and down to the early midfoot; 3D Fit Print offers intricate design features without bulk. New Balance Rubix has a similar (surprisingly) narrow fit with ample cushion that is more firm than it looks.

Just like the midsole, the outsole didn’t get any appreciable alterations. Both models have the same overall pattern and use the same flex grooves for a natural heel-to-toe transition. A major difference is the midsole foam with Ravenna’s full length BioMoGo DNA offering support in a responsive shoe and Transcend’s full length DNA LOFT foam providing a plush ride throughout footstrike; both are 10 mm. drop in the latest models. Adrenaline combines the benefits by offering a plush “crash pad” of LOFT foam in the heel and the lighter responsiveness of BioMoGo in the forefoot, making it ideal for the runner who wants one shoe for all types of workouts.
