Brooks Adrenaline GTS 25
Best for
- ✓Daily training and easy miles
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 25 offers a moderate stability experience, featuring a 10mm drop and a refined DNA Loft v3 foam that provides a softer feel compared to its predecessor. Runners will notice a smooth, balanced support across the platform, making it suitable for daily training. The shoe's fit is standard, with a snug midfoot and adequate toe box, though the overbuilt heel collar may affect lockdown comfort for some. While it excels in durability and stability for heel strikers, it lacks the lively bounce found in some competitors, and its weight may feel excessive for those accustomed to lighter options. Overall, it’s designed for runners seeking reliable support without the flash of modern aesthetics.
