Brooks Adrenaline GTS 25

Brooks Adrenaline GTS 25 review: what runners say

Fit

True to size with a wide toe box. The heel collar, redesigned with a raised flat-knit edge, feels bulky to several runners.

Feel

DNA Loft v3 cushioning is softer than previous versions, with a smooth transition from impact to toe-off. Feel ratings diverge: some find it sufficiently responsive, others describe it as overly firm.

Durability

RoadTack rubber outsole with selective coverage in high-wear zones; build quality rated 9/10. Expected mileage not explicitly quantified, but the compound is considered world-class for longevity.

Best for

Daily trainer for runners seeking moderate stability on asphalt. Suited for heel strikers, beginner runners, and those who want a no-fuss daily training option. Some field testing suggests it is less suited beyond 10K distances.

Weak points

The raised heel collar is the most recurring criticism across sources. Weight remains high for the category. The drop reduction from 12 mm to 10 mm is flagged as an issue for runners who relied on the extra heel elevation.
