The Brooks Adrenaline GTS 23 is the latest iteration of the brand’s popular stability running shoe, known for its combination of support, comfort, and durability. The "Go-To-Support" (GTS) in its name highlights its purpose: providing runners with a stable, supportive experience while still delivering a smooth and cushioned ride. Here’s a detailed review of the Adrenaline GTS 23:

Comfort and Cushioning:

The Brooks Adrenaline GTS 23 continues to use the DNA LOFT v2 cushioning, which offers a softer and more plush underfoot experience than previous versions. This cushioning is designed to absorb impact and provide a smooth ride, making the shoe ideal for long-distance runs and daily training. The cushioning strikes a balance between softness and responsiveness, ensuring that the shoe doesn’t feel too mushy while still offering ample protection and comfort during runs.

Stability and Support:

As a stability shoe, the Adrenaline GTS 23 is equipped with Brooks’ GuideRails® support system. This innovative technology helps to keep excess movement in check, particularly for runners who overpronate (when the foot rolls inward too much during the gait cycle). The GuideRails® system is integrated in a way that provides support only when needed, making it less intrusive than traditional stability features. This allows for a more natural running motion while still offering the necessary support to prevent knee and ankle misalignment.

Upper Design and Fit:

The upper of the Adrenaline GTS 23 is made from engineered mesh, which is both breathable and supportive. The mesh allows for good airflow, keeping your feet cool during runs, while also providing a secure fit that adapts to the shape of your foot. The 3D Fit Print technology enhances the structure of the upper without adding extra weight, ensuring that the foot remains stable within the shoe without feeling constricted. The heel collar and tongue are padded for added comfort, reducing the risk of irritation during longer runs.

Ride and Performance:

The ride of the Adrenaline GTS 23 is smooth and consistent, thanks to the combination of DNA LOFT v2 cushioning and the Segmented Crash Pad in the outsole. The Segmented Crash Pad helps to ensure a smooth transition from heel to toe, contributing to the shoe’s overall comfort and performance. The shoe is well-suited for a variety of runs, from daily training to long-distance running, where comfort and stability are key. The Adrenaline GTS 23 also performs well at moderate paces, though it’s not designed for speed-focused workouts.

Outsole and Durability:

The outsole of the Adrenaline GTS 23 is designed for durability, with strategically placed rubber in high-wear areas to enhance traction and extend the life of the shoe. The tread pattern provides solid grip on various surfaces, including wet roads, making the shoe versatile for different running conditions. The durability of the outsole, combined with the high-quality materials used in the midsole and upper, ensures that the Adrenaline GTS 23 can handle high mileage without significant wear and tear.

Weight:

For a stability shoe, the Adrenaline GTS 23 is reasonably lightweight, which adds to its versatility. It doesn’t feel overly heavy or clunky, making it a comfortable option for daily training without feeling weighed down.

Aesthetics and Style:

The Brooks Adrenaline GTS 23 has a modern, sleek design with several colorway options that appeal to a wide range of tastes. The overall look is clean and professional, with an aesthetic that balances performance and style.

Use Cases:

  • Overpronation: The GuideRails® support system makes the Adrenaline GTS 23 ideal for runners who overpronate or need additional support to maintain proper alignment during their runs.
  • Long Runs: The balanced cushioning and stability make this shoe a great choice for long-distance running, where comfort and support are crucial.
  • Daily Training: The Adrenaline GTS 23 is versatile enough for daily training, providing the right mix of cushioning, support, and durability.
  • Recovery Runs: The plush cushioning and stable ride make this shoe well-suited for recovery runs, offering protection and comfort for tired legs.

Summary:

The Brooks Adrenaline GTS 23 is a top-tier stability shoe that offers a comfortable and supportive ride for runners who need extra guidance during their runs. It’s well-suited for those who overpronate or prefer a more stable running experience, without compromising on comfort or responsiveness. With its durable build, modern design, and reliable performance, the Adrenaline GTS 23 continues to be a go-to option for runners seeking a balance of support and cushioning in their daily training shoe. Whether you're logging long miles or just need a dependable daily trainer, the Adrenaline GTS 23 is an excellent choice.

Adrenaline 23 vs Adrenaline 22


When comparing the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 23 to the Adrenaline GTS 22, there are a few key updates and differences that reflect Brooks' ongoing efforts to enhance comfort, support, and overall performance. Here's a detailed comparison between the two models:

Cushioning and Midsole

  • Adrenaline GTS 22: The Adrenaline GTS 22 featured DNA LOFT cushioning throughout the midsole, providing a good balance of softness and responsiveness. The cushioning offered a smooth ride, particularly for long-distance running, without feeling too plush or sluggish. The GTS 22 was well-regarded for its reliable cushioning that worked well across various distances and running intensities.

  • Adrenaline GTS 23: The GTS 23 continues with DNA LOFT v2 cushioning, which is an updated version of the midsole material. This version is designed to be slightly softer and lighter while maintaining the smooth, balanced ride that the Adrenaline series is known for. The cushioning in the GTS 23 feels a bit more plush, offering better shock absorption and comfort, especially on longer runs. The overall ride remains smooth and stable, but with a touch more cushioning compared to the GTS 22.

Stability and Support

  • Adrenaline GTS 22: The GTS 22 featured Brooks’ GuideRails® support system, which provided holistic support to keep the runner’s stride aligned. The GuideRails® system was effective at managing excess movement and was particularly beneficial for runners who overpronate. The support was noticeable but not intrusive, allowing for a stable and controlled running experience.

  • Adrenaline GTS 23: The GuideRails® support system remains in the GTS 23, offering the same reliable stability and support as in the GTS 22. However, Brooks has slightly refined the system to integrate even more seamlessly with the shoe’s overall design. The support feels more natural and less noticeable, contributing to a smoother running experience while still providing the necessary stability for those who overpronate.

Upper Design and Fit

  • Adrenaline GTS 22: The upper in the GTS 22 featured engineered mesh with 3D Fit Print technology, providing a snug and secure fit. The upper was breathable and adaptable, though some runners found it slightly less structured in the midfoot, which could affect the fit for certain foot shapes.

  • Adrenaline GTS 23: The GTS 23's upper has been updated with a more refined engineered mesh that improves both breathability and structure. The fit in the GTS 23 is slightly more snug and secure, offering a better lockdown, especially in the midfoot area. The upper is designed to adapt better to different foot shapes, providing a more comfortable and personalized fit. The heel collar and tongue have also been tweaked for additional comfort and reduced irritation.

Ride and Performance

  • Adrenaline GTS 22: The ride of the GTS 22 was smooth and stable, making it a solid choice for long runs and daily training. The shoe offered consistent performance with a good balance of cushioning and support, though it leaned slightly towards a firmer ride compared to more cushioned models.

  • Adrenaline GTS 23: The GTS 23 offers a slightly softer ride, thanks to the updated DNA LOFT v2 midsole. The ride remains stable and supportive, but with a bit more comfort, especially on longer runs. The Segmented Crash Pad continues to ensure smooth transitions from heel to toe, but the overall feel is more cushioned and comfortable than in the GTS 22.

Outsole and Durability

  • Adrenaline GTS 22: The outsole of the GTS 22 featured durable rubber with a segmented design to provide flexibility and traction. The shoe offered good durability and grip, suitable for various surfaces, including wet roads.

  • Adrenaline GTS 23: The GTS 23 maintains a similar outsole design but with slight improvements in rubber placement and tread design for enhanced grip and flexibility. The durability remains strong, with the shoe capable of handling high mileage, and the tread pattern has been optimized to offer better traction, especially in wet conditions.

Weight

  • Adrenaline GTS 22: The GTS 22 was reasonably lightweight for a stability shoe, making it versatile enough for daily training without feeling too heavy or clunky.

  • Adrenaline GTS 23: The GTS 23 maintains a similar weight profile, though it feels slightly lighter on the foot due to the refined upper and the updated midsole cushioning. This contributes to a more comfortable and agile running experience.

Aesthetics and Style

  • Adrenaline GTS 22: The GTS 22 had a modern design with a variety of color options, appealing to runners who value both function and style. The overall look was clean and functional.

  • Adrenaline GTS 23: The GTS 23 builds on this with a more streamlined and polished aesthetic. The design is sleek, with updated colorways that are vibrant and appealing, giving the shoe a more premium look.

Summary:

The Brooks Adrenaline GTS 23 is a refined and slightly more comfortable version of the GTS 22. The updates in the GTS 23, particularly in the midsole cushioning and upper design, make it a better option for runners seeking enhanced comfort, especially on longer runs. The shoe offers a softer, more cushioned ride while maintaining the same reliable stability and support that the Adrenaline series is known for.

  • Choose the Adrenaline GTS 22 if you’re happy with a firmer, more responsive ride and prefer the feel of the previous model's fit and structure.
  • Opt for the Adrenaline GTS 23 if you’re looking for a softer, more cushioned experience with an improved fit and a slightly lighter feel.

Both models are excellent choices for stability runners, but the GTS 23 offers some small but meaningful upgrades that enhance the overall running experience.




Get The Right Size!

Improper shoe sizing and shape are the primary cause of ingrown toenails, bunions, corns and hammer toes. Sounds fun, doesn't it? It's not. Shoes that don’t fit your feet correctly can also lead to muscular imbalances in the body, opening the door to foot, knee and hip injuries.

 

The More You Know..

    Most runners get shoes too small for them because they don't take into account these factors:

    • When a load is applied to your foot by running, your foot will spread up to half an inch in length. One shoe size is only 1/3 inch.
    • If allowed, your foot will splay 15 percent in width under load.
    • Your foot is widest at the toes (but most shoes are not).

     

    Tips on sizing

    • Do not assume you are the same size as a previous shoe.
       
    • If your feet are slightly different sizes, get your shoes to fit the larger foot.
