TFS Review: Brooks Adrenaline GTS 6

Posted January 6th, 2007 at 2:00 PM by Adam Jacobs

Section: Gear & Apparel, Running Shoes, Special Features, TFS Reviews

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.

TFS Review: Brooks Radius 6

This is the first of many shoe reviews that TFS will be publishing in the coming weeks. Check back often and feel free to send an email to thefinalsrpint@gmail.com with your feedback. Happy Holidays!

Product: Brooks Radius 6
Price: $85.00
Type: Neutral - Neutral Cushioned
Fit: True to size
Weight: 11.85 oz.
Pronation factor: Neutral to Slight Over-Pronation
Best for: Runners with medium to high arches and medium to large frames.

A solid choice for neutral pronators who like extra cushioning and some medial arch support. They will also appeal to slight over-pronators who enjoy a bit of additional support.

During our initial trials they seemed a bit too stiff, likely the result of the more supportive mesh upper, but don’t be scared away. After a few runs the majority of us began to really enjoy these puppies and found them to do very good job absorbing shock; making them an above average choice for those battling plantar fasciitis and/or minor joint pains.
