Best for
- ✓Daily training and easy miles
- ✓Budget-conscious runners
Avoid if
- ✕You prefer a low-drop or natural foot position
- ✕You want a lightweight racing or tempo shoe
- ✕You run primarily on technical trails
Consensus Summary
The Brooks Adrenaline GTS 24 offers a stable and cushioned ride, featuring a 39mm stack height and DNA Loft v3 midsole that provides a plush feel underfoot. The shoe is designed with GuideRails technology, which supports the foot without being intrusive, making it suitable for heel strikers and those needing stability. However, its 12mm heel drop may feel steep for runners accustomed to lower-drop shoes, and some find the midsole too firm for comfort during longer runs. While it excels as a daily trainer with excellent durability, it may not be the best choice for faster paces or varied terrain due to its weight and lack of energy return compared to lighter competitors.

- ✓GuideRails provide subtle stability support
- ✓39mm stack height for plush cushioning

- ✕Heavy at 312g for longer runs
