Durability is generally above average for a daily trainer, with strong outsole and heel padding performance. However, the engineered mesh toebox is a weak point, scoring poorly in abrasion tests, which may lead to premature wear in that area. The outsole and heel are robust, balancing the overall score.
The Brooks Adrenaline GTS 23 is widely regarded by experts and users as a top-tier stability shoe for daily training, offering reliable cushioning, moderate stability via the GuideRails system, and high durability for road use. Its DNA Loft v2 midsole provides a soft yet stable ride, making it ideal for everyday runs and recovery efforts. The shoe performs well for long runs due to its comfort and support, though its moderate weight and high drop (12mm) make it less suited for faster tempo work or racing, where lighter, more responsive shoes are preferred. While the firmer forefoot allows for some uptempo efforts, most reviewers agree it lacks the responsiveness needed for true tempo or race-day performance. The Adrenaline is not designed for trail running, as its outsole and upper are optimized for pavement and lack the traction and protection required for technical terrain. User and expert consensus highlight its best use as a daily trainer and recovery shoe, with secondary suitability for long runs, but limited performance for speedwork, racing, or off-road use.
Ideal for Best suited for beginner to intermediate runners who need moderate stability for overpronation or extra support during daily training. Ideal for those logging consistent road miles, recovering from injury, or seeking a reliable, durable shoe for easy to moderate-paced runs rather than racing or maximal speed work.
The Adrenaline GTS 23 maintains the classic Brooks fit, with minor improvements in upper comfort and breathability. The shoe is especially well-suited for runners needing mild to moderate stability and those who prefer a traditional, secure fit. The plushness of the DNA LOFT v2 foam is slightly increased over previous versions, but the overall structure and fit remain familiar to long-time Adrenaline users. The shoe is optimized for heel strikers and daily training, with a 12mm drop and a balanced blend of support and comfort.
Sizing: Generally true to size; available in regular and wide widths. Fit is consistent with previous Adrenaline models, with minor tweaks to upper for improved comfort. Most users and expert reviews recommend ordering your usual running shoe size.
