You might not notice every precisely turned tuned groove on the sole of your show or the high-tech weave that makes your jacket so breathable. An ethical global supply chain starts with factories and suppliers who share our values and our commitments to respect human rights, advance worker well-being and ensure sustainable manufacturing. GUIDERAILS HOLISTIC SUPPORT SYSTEM: We've shifted our focus beyond the feet to the most injury-prone part of a runner’s body: the knees.

The forefoot has been given a bit more room in this model to ensure that the upper encloses the feet without becoming too rigid. We use marketing, analytical and functional cookies as well as similar technologies to give you the best experience. They cup the foot on the sides, though the GuideRail acts as more of an under-arch support than anything else.The heel has a hard internal counter, so the Guiderail doesn’t add value other than visual symmetry. This technology provides support to the knees when they tire by guiding the feet through their gait cycle.

The mesh is softer, and so are the round laces that replace the flat kind used on the previous model. The ‘BioMoGo DNA cushioning’ and ‘DNA LOFT Crash Pad’ have been designed by Brooks to feel extremely cushioned. The upper is almost one-piece – the arch side has a thicker mesh with fused reinforcement and Brooks logo. The Adrenaline GTS 20’s sole unit has undergone slight changes from the 19’s overhaul to retain the soft DNA LOFT crash pad in the mid-to-lateral heel, which now tapers forward to gradually transition into the familiar BioMoGo DNA foam supporting the rest of the shoe. 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.

The Nike stability shoe hasn’t been updated in a while, so we have a feeling this will be the last of its kind from the house of Swoosh. GUIDERAILS HOLISTIC SUPPORT SYSTEM We’ve shifted our focus beyond the feet, to the most injury-prone part of a runner’s body: the knees. Our testers found the upper to be extremely comfortable, with none reporting any rubbing or blisters, even on long runs. The following size chart is a guide to Brooks clothing and footwear sizes with a comparison to European and US sizes.

Since the GTS 20 is, for all practical purposes, a neutral shoe, you can tap into something like the Nike Vaporfly (4% and Next %), Hoka Clifton 6 or the new Balance 1080V10. Brooks hasn’t changed its rubber formulation, and that means that you get decent traction under most surface conditions. 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).fit print across the new engineered mesh upper also provides structure, and the same proven fit that the Adrenaline is known for. With the Glycerin GTS 20, Brooks introduce their new nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 cushioned midsole. SUPPORT AND CUSHION: Provides just the right amount of stability and support, great for overpronation while providing high energizing cushioning.
