Brooks Men's Adrenaline GTS 22 Supportive Running Shoe - Stability

Our review of the Brooks Men's Adrenaline GTS 22 finds it best for runners who want reliable support on everyday road runs and training miles. The Adrenaline GTS 22 is built around a stability platform that adds guidance without feeling heavy, making it the single best reason to buy: steady support that still feels soft and protective underfoot. For anyone needing added support rather than a purely neutral ride, this shoe balances cushion and structure for predictable, comfortable runs.

Key Features

• Supportive GuideRails: Provides lateral stability to help keep the foot aligned during longer runs and reduce excess motion.
• Balanced Cushioning: Midsole foam offers a soft and protective ride that works well for everyday training and recovery runs.
• 12mm Midsole Drop: A moderate heel-to-toe drop that promotes a stable gait and a familiar feel for many road runners.
• Lightweight for Support Shoes: At about 9.1 oz it delivers stability without the bulky weight of heavier motion-control trainers.
• Road-Focused Outsole: Designed for pavement and treadmill use with a durable rubber pattern for consistent traction.

Who It's For

The Adrenaline GTS 22 is aimed at runners who need added support during daily runs, folks who appreciate a softer, protective midsole, and those training for moderate-distance road running. It is a solid choice for runners who value a guided ride that reduces pronation without feeling overly firm or intrusive.

Runners looking for a purely neutral, highly responsive racer, or the most cushioned long-distance option may prefer other models in the Brooks lineup. If you want maximum softness for ultra long runs or track-speed responsiveness for race day, consider a neutral or speed-focused shoe instead.
