It’s commonly used to help athletes run more efficiently and to identify movement related problems for people with injuries who are seeking new running shoes. 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 internal heel counter is top notch to direct heel motion forward, with padding around the collar that is ultra in the back and tapers toward the laces.

The GTS 20 consists of a new and improved upper that has shaved some weight, making the overall shoe lighter and more responsive. 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. There are a couple of full grooves along with a bridged one, so the midsole doesn’t bend every easily – which makes push-offs less of a chore. Its balance of plush cushioning with flexibility, stability and secure fit make it the perfect shoe for those that want a smooth ride but need support.

BALANCED, SOFT CUSHIONING: The DNA LOFT Crash Pad cushions each footfall and works with BioMoGo DNA to adapt to your every stride. Nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3, super soft cushioning optimised to be lightweight, responsive and durable with plush comfort. Soft and balanced cushioning Biomogo dna and dna loft cushioning work in synergy to create the right softness to the sole of the foot without losing responsiveness and longevity.

GUIDERAILS HOLISTIC SUPPORT SYSTEM We’ve shifted our focus beyond the feet, to the most injury-prone part of a runner’s body: the knees. 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. The adidas Solar Glide ST 19 is a softer and more responsive running shoe with a wee bit of medial side support.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.

Overpronation in the arch can affect the whole body and cause discomfort in the heel, ankles, achilles tendons, shins, outside knee, outer hip, as well as the arches. Our roadmap to use recycled raw materials initially focuses on post-consumer sources, such as plastic bottles. The imminent arrival to the market of the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 20, one of the models with the greatest weight in the catalog of the North American firm, is attracting all the attention.

Responsive BioMoGo DNA cushioning stacked above a soft DNA LOFT Crash Pad work together to provide a touch of spring underfoot while cushioning each footfall. Another noteworthy thing is that the offset has a drop of 12 mm for both men and women, which is similar to that of its predecessor the GTS 19. Since the GTS 20 is, for all practical purposes, a neutral shoe, you can tap into something like the Nike Vaporfly (4% and Next %), Hoka Clifton 6 or the new Balance 1080V10.

Gone was the medial post that had been present since 2003, replaced by less aggressive guide rails that run around the outside of the upper. The Brooks Women’s Adrenaline 20 uses holistic guide rails to make sure that every step you make is guided to the correct position for your feet, and your knees. For whatever it is worth, models like the Glycerin 17 and Transcend give a higher level of high-mileage comfort.

Because of the extra protection, daily mileage shoes tend to be heavier than their race day and tempo counterparts. 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.
