How it ranks
The Brooks Adrenaline GTS 22 ranks among the stronger 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 55 runner reviews and 12 other rated shoes in the Adrenaline GTS product line.
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.
Confidence
95/100
“Support nearly gone after 150 miles; feels like neutral shoe.”
“Rough ride with rock-hard foam that's very uncomfortable.”
“Extensive 12mm heel-to-toe drop shifts foot strike to forefoot.”
“Feels like bricks on feet compared to springy foams from other brands.”
“Rigid upper/heel in newer models can aggravate the Achilles.”
“Comfortable but clunky; outsole wears out after 400 miles.”
“Does an excellent job of providing stability to reduce pronation.”
“It has quite a bit of cushion and is super great for logging miles on.”
“Enough cushion alongside stability for 16-mile long runs without excess shock.”
“Normal width blows out and becomes too loose; narrow version holds better.”

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.

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.

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.

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!
