Through an upgrade of the Adrenaline GTS 5’s, Brooks was actually able to successfully improve upon what was arguably the best stability shoe on the market.

Product: Brooks Adrenaline GTS 6
Price: $90.00
Type: Stability
Fit: True to size and width
Weight: 11.8 oz (Men); 9.75 oz (Women)
Pronation factor: Moderate Over-Pronation
Best for: Runners with a medium build and low to medium arches

This is one of, if not the, best choice for moderate over-pronators who want an amalgamation of stability and cushioning. Although we had some quams regarding breathability, the Adrenalines received exceptional reviews from our wear-testers; all of whom were very impressed.

If the 5’s were already top-notch why should you check out the 6’s? Simple: because Brooks was able to make these trainers even lighter; taking an ounce off of the overall weight. In addition to being lighter and just as sturdy as the 5’s, the 6’s also posses more flexibility in the forefront for extra comfort. The heel-to-toe transition is fluid and smooth while still providing the stability and structure required by moderate over-pronators through their Progressive Diagonal Rollbars.

Brooks has also just released the Adrenaline GTS 7’s. Feedback of the 7’s has been positive thus far, but the best part about this new release is that the 6’s are now being marked down at nearly every specialty running store and national distributor. For example, they are going for as low as $65 on Road Runner Sports (depending on your size). Regardless of which version of the Adrenaline’s you decide to pick up, we think you’ll find them to be an excellent (if not the best) stability shoe choice you have made in a long time.
