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

Our review of the Brooks Men's Adrenaline GTS 22 finds it best for runners who need reliable support on road runs and daily training. The single biggest reason to buy is its guided support platform that balances cushioning with stability, making it a go-to for those who prefer added support without heavy motion control. Fit and comfort are consistent with Brooks design: a soft yet protective ride and a moderate 12mm drop that helps smooth heel-to-toe transitions during everyday miles.

Key Features

• Supportive Construction: The shoe offers guided support to help control mild to moderate overpronation while keeping the foot comfortable on long runs.
• Balanced Cushioning: Cushion level rated 2 of 3 provides soft and protective landings without feeling sluggish for daily training.
• 12mm Midsole Drop: The 12mm drop promotes a stable heel-to-toe transition that many runners find familiar and predictable.
• Lightweight Feel: At about 9.1oz / 258g, the design stays relatively light for a support shoe, making it suitable for higher-mileage days.
• Road Running Focus: Built for road and everyday runs, the outsole and midsole tuning prioritize comfort and durability on pavement.

Who It's For

The Adrenaline GTS 22 is aimed at runners who want an everyday training shoe with guidance for overpronation and a cushioned, protective ride. It suits those logging frequent road miles, recovery runs, or those who prefer a stable platform for varied paces.

Runners seeking a super-cushioned maximal shoe, a neutral racer for speedwork, or a very low-drop performance trainer should look elsewhere; the Adrenaline focuses on supportive comfort rather than being the fastest or the plushest highest-cushion option in Brooks' lineup.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Reliable guided support that steadies the foot without heavy motion-control feel.
• Comfortable cushioning that provides soft, protective landings for everyday runs.
• Moderate weight keeps it versatile for longer runs while retaining support features.
