As this is the only shoe I have ever run in, I don't know much about anything else.

4/5

Overall

These shoes work as training shoes and I used them as racing shoes for a while before I got spikes. I ran 350 miles in the first pair and they didn't have many problems, the spot above the big toe was getting thin and might have become a hole soon.

Great Shoe

Anonymous runner · Dec 6, 2023

4/5

Overall

Daily trainer for 6 years. Have gone through the different models and the adrenaline is consistent. Made for people who pronate. The guiderails make this more of a stability shoe than the other popular brooks options.

A great shoe for easy runs and long runs.

Overall

I ran about 700 miles before retiring this shoe. The stability and cushion were phenomenal, and I didn't notice any significant downgrade in cushion or tread until around 500 miles.

Durability and Comfort Hard to Beat!

Overall

I have owned 8 pair of Adrenaline GTS. Each pair has been very durable and provided solid comfort and stability on my daily runs of 3 to 5 miles. Great value for the price!
