How it ranks
The Brooks Adrenaline GTS 20 ranks below most daily trainers in our data. Durability and cushioning are its strongest sub-ratings. Looks scores well below its other sub-ratings. The rating rests on 10 runner reviews and 12 other rated shoes in the Adrenaline GTS product line. Another 2 reviews would set the confidence on this shoe's own reviews.
Confidence
How settled the rating is against every other rated shoe. A shoe can rate high on confidence with relatively few reviews of its own when its product line has a long record and external ratings from retailer sites agree. Confidence will score low when we have few ratings or when runners disagree.

Overall
I've had multiple pairs of this as my daily trainer. Each pair lasted well over 500 miles, the most recent one retired at around 1000. Not the best looking, not the most cushioned, but it just keeps on going.
