Brooks Adrenaline GTS 25

A moderate stability shoe best suited for walking and shorter runs, offering reliable medial support and the smoothest heel transition in Adrenaline history, though the DNA Loft midsole lacks responsiveness and firms uncomfortably on longer distances.

A consistent and reliable moderate stability shoe with the best heel transition in Adrenaline history thanks to the new 10mm drop, but the DNA Loft v3 midsole lacks bounce and firms up uncomfortably on longer runs, making it better suited for walking and short-to-moderate distance running than longer efforts.

Best for: Short to moderate distance runs and walking for overpronators who want consistent moderate stability at the heel and midfoot

Best for: Walkers and standers who want strong medial arch support and a grounded, stable feel
