user: I've been told I overpronate and need a stability shoe. Daily training, around 30 mi/wk. What do you recommend?
assistant: You're looking for a shoe that gives you guidance without feeling clunky — and at 30 mi/wk, durability and versatility matter. I have three solid picks that handle mild-to-moderate overpronation well.
**Adidas Supernova Solution v2** is my top call here. It's a PEBA-based stability trainer ($140) that Doctors of Running calls "one of the best stability shoes of 2025" — soft, bouncy, and the guidance is built into the geometry (sidewalls, lateral bevel, medial wedge) rather than a rigid post, so it doesn't feel restrictive. The wider fit is a bonus if your forefoot runs generous. Mild-to-moderate stability that breaks in nicely over the first 50–100 miles. 400+ mile durability, and it's versatile enough for tempo work and long runs.
**ASICS GT-2000 v13** is a lighter alternative ($140). Doctors of Running actually prefers this over the newer v14 for runners wanting a more versatile guidance-style stability shoe. It's narrower in the forefoot than the Solution 2, so fit depends on your foot shape, but it's snappier and a touch more responsive — still mild stability, still durable (400–500 miles). Good if you want something that feels a bit more "trainer-like" and less cushioned.
**ASICS Gel-Kayano v32** ($165) is the heritage stability option — high cushion, strong medial support, and Run Moore notes it's evolved into a genuinely runnable daily trainer, not just a support crutch. It's heavier and more protective, which suits runners who want maximum guidance and don't mind a softer, more planted ride. Better for easy-paced miles than tempo work.
The Solution 2 hits the sweet spot for you: soft enough to feel good on 30 mi/wk, stable enough to manage overpronation, and priced right. Do you have a narrower or wider forefoot, and are you planning to do any tempo or speed work in your daily trainer, or mostly easy miles?
user: Is the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 25 still considered the standard or has something dethroned it?
assistant: The **Brooks Adrenaline GTS v25** is still solid — it's reliable and has a genuinely better heel transition than older versions — but it's no longer the default pick for overpronators. The issue is that DNA Loft v3 midsole lacks bounce and firms up noticeably past 7–8 miles, which makes it better for walking and shorter runs than the 30 mi/wk daily training you're doing. Doctors of Running notes the forefoot becomes "uncomfortable on longer runs" as the midsole hardens with mileage, and that's a real concern at your volume.
**The Adidas Supernova Solution v2** has dethroned it for your use case. It's the same price ($140), but the Dreamstrike+ PEBA midsole is bouncier, more forgiving over accumulated miles, and versatile enough to handle easy runs, tempos, and long efforts without that mid-run firmness creeping in. Doctors of Running calls it "one of the best stability shoes of 2025" — softer, wider fit, and the stability breaks in nicely rather than feeling rigid from day one. The Solution 2 is built for the kind of consistent 30 mi/wk training where you need a shoe that stays responsive across the week.
If you want to stick with Brooks, the **Adrenaline GTS v25** is fine for easy recovery days and shorter runs, but I'd rotate it with something bouncier (like the Solution 2) for your longer efforts and tempo work. The Adrenaline's mixed reception reflects that split personality — great for some runners, but not ideal as a sole daily trainer at your mileage.
