Brooks

Adrenaline GTS 23 Running Shoe - Women's

DNA Loft v2 is Brooks' proprietary foam technology that combines softness, lightweight cushioning, and durability. The second version has been enhanced from the original to provide even better comfort and performance. This means you can enjoy a plush feel underfoot while still having the support you need for longer runs.

GuideRails are designed to keep your foot aligned during your run, preventing excessive inward or outward rolling (pronation or supination). This technology helps reduce the risk of injury by providing stability and support, allowing you to focus on your run without worrying about foot misalignment.

Engineered Air Mesh is a specially designed upper material that enhances breathability and support. Its unique patterns allow for better airflow, keeping your feet cool and comfortable during runs. Additionally, it provides a secure fit, which is essential for maintaining comfort and performance.

A 12mm drop indicates that the heel of the shoe is 12 millimeters higher than the forefoot. This design helps reduce strain on your calves and Achilles tendon, making it easier to maintain a comfortable stride, especially during long-distance runs. It’s ideal for runners who prefer a bit more elevation in their footwear.

"Moderate cushion" refers to the level of padding and shock absorption in the shoe. It strikes a balance between comfort and support, providing enough padding to protect against impact while still allowing you to feel connected to the ground. This is perfect for runners who want protection without sacrificing responsiveness.

If you’re looking for a shoe that offers comfort, support, and stability, the combination of DNA Loft v2, GuideRails, and moderate cushion is ideal. Additionally, if you often run long distances or have experienced foot misalignment issues, these features can enhance your running experience and help prevent injuries. Consider your running style and any specific needs you have to determine the best fit for you.
