Soft and balanced cushioning: Full-length, responsive BioMoGo DNA cushioning provides a spring touch under the feet, while DNA LOFT in the heel ensures super soft landings. Although, there’s a lower chance of that happening on the 20 as it swaps the flat laces with soft round ones. It’s commonly used to help athletes run more efficiently and to identify movement related problems for people with injuries who are seeking new running shoes. This metric refers to the percentage of material by weight that has been recycled from post- or pre-consumer sources. If one looks past the raised midsole (Guiderails) sidewalls, then the Adrenaline is a supportive neutral running shoe.

Additional Benefits: The asymmetrical 3D Fit Print saddle is pulled at the heel and wrapped around your arch for a secure fit.Even though the medial midsole is slightly softer, its solid sidewall design provides greater stability than the grooved lateral side. Responsive BioMoGo DNA cushioning stacked above a soft DNA LOFT Crash Pad work together to provide a touch of spring underfoot while cushioning each footfall. Even the Glycerin 17 with its full-length DNA Loft midsole isn’t as soft as Brooks advertises it to be.

Correctly fitting shoes provide stability at the heel and will ensure there is no slipping or irritation at the Achilles tendon. These Rails, designed with the idea of bowling bumpers in mind, keep my knees in alignment because they gently direct off-kilter foot motion back into forward momentum. If the upper has split near the toe box you might want to consider going up a half a size or in some cases, change the width of your shoes.It also comes with a modern, sleek, streamlined upper that also offers the support and fit that long-time users of the GTS have come to expect. First slipping on Adrenaline 20 revealed a semi-plush upper reminiscent of Transcend 6 (especially the heel collar) with a notably more firm midsole from its cushioned cousin. MODERNISED FIT A streamlined, engineered mesh upper with 3D Fit Print offers the structure and proven fit the Adrenaline is known for — without excess bulk. The word “holistic” derives from the Greek holos meaning “whole”; the metaphorical usage means a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts—which is the perfect description for Adrenaline 20 (explained below). If you have had a good experience with your old shoes and have stayed injury free then you might, understandably, be reluctant to change brand or model.
