Brooks Adrenaline GTS 11
The Brooks Adrenaline GTS 11 is a soft yet solid stability shoe that offers runners a great fit and comfortable ride.
The shoe features many improvements over its predecessor the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 10. These include a softer gel cushioning system at the sole, a heel cradle to hold the foot in place more securely, and added straps in the upper for a more foot-hugging fit. The shoe also features a Progressive Diagonal Rollbar for optimum support, as well as Brooks DNA, which is a design feature that adheres to the runner’s foot for a fit that adjusts as the run progresses. The shoe is light, weighing in at 11.2 oz. for men and 9.1 oz. for women.
Users of the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 11 immediately noticed its improvement in the shoe’s overall soft feel. Testers loved the softness because it didn’t come off as overly squishy, and maintained a firm sense of stability that many stability-seeking runners are looking for. They loved the fit, particularly around the midsole area, as the shoe proved to be ideal for runners in need of added arch support. The fit around the heel has gotten good remarks due to the shoe’s heel cradle.
Many users noted that the shoe ran well in marathons, and provided an overall painless run. The GTS 10 may have been better in terms of pain relief from shin-splints, at least for those who recently upgraded to the 11. These users were avid users of the Brooks GTS line in general, and eagerly followed each installment as it came out because they were so satisfied with the previous installments in the GTS line as far as fit, cushioning, and comfort in the world of stability shoes.
The GTS line is so well received that avid runners have multiple pairs of these shoes.
In conclusion, the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 11‘s combination of comfortable softness and firm stability make it an ideal ride for runners with low to medium arches in need of extra support.
