Supportive Running Shoes for Men: Brooks Adrenaline GTS 22

This men's shoe is designed for runners seeking a smooth ride with great cushioning and trusted GuideRails support that won't distract from the joy of running. The Brooks Adrenaline GTS 22 is a certified PDAC A5500 Diabetic shoe and has been granted the APMA Seal of Acceptance. It is recommended to order Brooks running shoes 1/2 to one size larger than your dress shoe.

The shoe provides the right balance of stability and support, ideal for overpronation, while offering high-energy cushioning. It is suitable for road running, cross-training, the gym, or any other activity. The predecessor model was the Adrenaline GTS 21.

The updated midsole features 100% DNA LOFT cushioning paired with the Segmented Crash Pad, resulting in an even softer, smoother ride and a more seamless transition from landing to toe-off. The modernized upper utilizes the 3D Fit Print technology, offering the structure and proven fit the Adrenaline is known for without excess bulk.

The GuideRails Holistic Support System shifts the focus beyond just the feet, targeting the most injury-prone part of a runner's body: the knees. The GuideRails help keep excess movement in check, allowing you to move comfortably.

For product care, machine wash is recommended. The shoe is of imported origin, with a rubber sole and synthetic outer material.

When comparing the Adrenaline GTS 22 to other Brooks models, it falls under the Support category, offering Cushion Level 2 of 3.

The Revel 6 is a Neutral cushioned shoe with a responsive and springy experience.
