FAQ
Is the Adrenaline GTS good for beginners?
It is one of the most commonly recommended shoes for new runners, especially those who overpronate mildly. The GuideRails system provides gentle support without feeling restrictive, and the cushioning is forgiving for developing running form.
What does GTS stand for?
GTS stands for Go-To-Shoe, reflecting Brooks's intention for it to be a reliable default choice for stability runners. The name has stuck through decades of iterations.
How does the Adrenaline GTS compare to the ASICS Gel-Kayano?
Both are stability shoes, but the Adrenaline GTS uses a softer, more forgiving approach to stability with GuideRails, while the Kayano uses a denser medial post. The GTS feels lighter and more neutral, the Kayano more structured. Many runners prefer the GTS for its less intrusive support.
Does the Adrenaline GTS work for walking?
Yes, the plush cushioning and mild stability make it popular with walkers as well as runners. The accommodating fit with multiple width options and the supportive but not stiff ride suit walking use well.
Which version of the Adrenaline GTS is current?
Brooks iterates the GTS annually. Each version makes incremental improvements to the upper, cushioning, or support system while maintaining the core ride feel. Most reviewers find the differences between adjacent versions minor.
