Brooks Womens Adrenaline GTS 24 Supportive Running Shoe (Style 9K6K)

Our review of the Brooks Womens Adrenaline GTS 24 finds it best suited for walkers and runners who need reliable stability and plush cushioning. The single biggest reason to buy is the updated nitrogen-infused DNA Loft v3 midsole, which delivers noticeably lighter, softer cushioning while preserving the shoe's trademark support. As a certified PDAC A5500 diabetic shoe with the APMA Seal of Acceptance, it also appeals to those seeking medically informed features alongside everyday running performance.

Key Features

• Guides Rails Holistic Support System: Keeps excess movement in check and helps your legs stay in a natural motion path for fewer compensating movements.
• Nitrogen-infused DNA Loft v3 cushioning: Offers softer, smoother, lightweight shock absorption that adapts to each stride for longer comfort on runs or walks.
• Certified diabetic and APMA-accepted: The PDAC A5500 certification and APMA Seal of Acceptance indicate a design mindful of foot health and therapeutic fit needs.
• Engineered air mesh upper: Balances breathability, stretch, and structure so the shoe conforms comfortably without feeling rigid.
• Smooth transitions: A revised outsole and midsole shape promote a more fluid heel-to-toe roll for steady cadence and less fatigue.

Who It's For

The Adrenaline GTS 24 is ideal for runners and walkers who want dependable arch and gait support, including people with flat feet or mild pronation concerns. It is also a strong option for those who value cushioning that remains responsive over long distances and for users looking for certified diabetic footwear.

Shoppers who prefer a very narrow racing fit or who want an ultra-minimal, barefoot feel should look elsewhere; some customers report the shoe runs slightly narrow or small. If maximal speed and light weight for fast races are your only priority, a lighter racing flat would be a better choice.
