How it ranks

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.”

My first pair of brooks, wasn’t expecting it to be as loose as it is, but the heel knot helps it to feel somewhat normal

20 mpw training for 5K and 10K came from the HOKA Clifton 8
5/5
Overall
I've been running on the Brooks Adrenaline GTS for almost 4 years. It has been an incredible trainer and I haven't had any injuries while I've wearing it compared to the times that I've tried other running shoes. It has quite a bit of cushion and is super great for logging miles on. I'm not a huge fan of using it for faster runs like intervals and sprinting, but it is able to hold its own if I forget my spikes. The stack height has had a couple of problems when going around corners or the curved sections of a track it tends to slip a bit, but this is easily fixed by adjusting the laces. Over all the Adrenaline GTS has been an incredible trainer that I've been using for years that I highly recommend.

Not the high-end innovation of some, but what do you need in a daily trainer. While other brands are not recognisable year on year, credit Brooks for consistency in a high quality product.

40 mpw training for ultramarathons came from the Saucony Guide 15

Overall
I've been using these shoes for more than a year. And have run few half marathons in it. They are very comfortable and gives good support while running..
I plan to use this for this year and the next before changing to the next pair.

It’s a daily trainer that gets the job done without being anything special or exciting.
