Brooks Men's Adrenaline Gts 20 Running Shoe

Product Information

This line is made with durable materials, so you can count on this pair to last you longer than many other brands. The heel has a hard internal counter, so the Guiderail doesn’t add value other than visual symmetry. The StealthFit upper option, available in both Glycerin and Glycerin GTS, allows for more stretch and a modern look and feel yet a less-stable resistance to motion. It’s worth pointing out that the Vongo has a 4 mm drop along with deep cushioning, so it is a better shoe for forefoot strikers than the GTS 20.

The Glycerin GTS 20 faithfully follows the Glycerin GTS 19 which combined the stable, smooth-ride tradition of Brooks Transcend with the brand’s long-running Glycerin name and more-trimmed design. The new improved Adrenaline GTS 20 is very different compared to previous models such as the GTS 17 or 18. The Brooks Adrenaline GTS 20 is a supportive, cushioned running shoe that provides extreme comfort while being flexible and reliable. With a softer medial side, the Adrenaline GTS 20 is a reverse stability shoe and closer to the Ghost than it has ever been.The fastest bobsleds are the ones that best slip down the grooves worn into the track with minimal lateral movement and chaotic noise.

Light runners doing low mileage with faster paces mixed in should look to Brooks’ Launch or Launch GTS (stability) over the Glycerin/Glycerin GTS. Since I already knew about the two layers of cushioning and the stability technology, I was anticipating a less than ideal assist for my fast miles. New for this edition is the addition of the GuideRails support system which helps to protect your knees by preventing excess movement. This will concentrate the force of the impact toward the outside area of the forefoot leading to some runners that supinate experiencing foot pain or even stress fractures as a result.

That's because its stability features, while effective, aren't overpowering or so rigid that they make you clumsy when you try to twist, flex, or pivot. These top of the rangeRunning shoes in cushioning for pronator runners maintain some overlays in the medial area, to reinforce the fit and running support. I took my Brooks on a few different runs—8 mile easy run, 12 miles with 3 miles at tempo pace in the middle, and an 18-miler long run at aerobic pace. The tongue's padding is thick, but more of a light foam to dampen the road noise bumping through the top of the foot and ankle.
