• Brooks Adrenaline GTS 9 General Info:

The Adrenaline GTS 9 is the latest installment of Brooks best-selling shoe. It is a stability shoe aimed at runners who have low arches and tend to overpronate, while offering a still soft and cushioned ride. Brooks packed their best technology in the shoe, concentrating in the sole unit.

• Brooks Adrenaline GTS 9 Sole Unit:

A quick look to the medial (internal) side of the shoe quickly reveals the main stability support of the Adrenaline – the triple density medial post. The injection of a harder foam compound in the medial/arch side of the midsole is an industry standard solution for stability shoes, as it provide support to your foot just in the area where it is needed the most. Some brands, and Brooks is in there, actually deliver a three-density midsole, with a softer posting in the heel area.
Also visible on the medial side is the plastic shank of the Adrenaline, called DRB-Accel. The asymmetrical shank runs all the way across the medial post in order to offer the pronation support in the area where it’s most needed (see picture below). We particularly like the shank in this shoe.

The cushioning is taken care by Brooks Hydroflow system: chambers of a mix of silicone and oils that get progressively filled while the foot strikes on the ground. Both heel and forefoot are cushioned with this system.
Last, admirable, effort the Brooks put in this sole units is the use of BioMogo midsole material, which the house claim to be completely biodegradable.

• Brooks Adrenaline GTS 9 Upper:

The upper of the Adrenaline GTS 9 does not provide all the technologies you find in some other competitors (seamless construction, for example) but its design of synthetic overlays is very supportive and efficient – delivering an extremely lightweight stability shoe.
The upper fit of the Adrenaline splits testers in two: lovers and haters. Many of the latter are runners who run in the GTS 6, 7, or 8 who find this shoe less fitting than before.

• Brooks Adrenaline GTS 9 Opinion:

Brooks delivers a very good stability shoe at 105 $ price point. It is more cushioned than the GTS 8 but still more supportive and stable than its direct competitors (for example the Asics GT 2140 or the Nike Structure Triax +12) in an extremely lightweight package, give the amount of stability that it delivers.
Recommended to low arched and flat feet runners with a tendency to overpronate.
