Runners with flat feet and overpronation love the Adrenaline GTS 24 for its stability rails and cushioning; it's lightweight, versatile, and feels great for both easy runs and faster paces.
Brooks' marketing claims about cushioning, support technology, and immediate comfort are well-supported by owner and reviewer data, with strong scores on comfort (4.2/5) and stability (4.5/5). However, the pitch glosses over real fit inconsistencies—particularly toe-box tightness—and durability concerns (3.5/5) that prevent the shoe from delivering all-day comfort universally, especially for wider feet.

About
What it is.
Brooks positions the Adrenaline GTS within its stability-trainer family, aimed at runners and walkers who need mild pronation support paired with a plush, comfortable upper. It fills the role of a dependable daily trainer — the kind of shoe chosen for broad consensus and low risk rather than for standing out on spec sheets or premium branding.
It suits feet that benefit from guided support and a cushioned ride straight out of the box, without a break-in process. It's a poorer match for wide or high-volume feet, or for runners who preferred the firmer, more traditional medial-post feel of earlier stability shoes.
The verdict
The Brooks Adrenaline GTS 24 ranks as the top choice for flat-foot runners, backed by 4.7/5 stars from nearly 3,500 buyers who praise its stability and immediate comfort, though some report fit inconsistencies and reduced cushioning compared to earlier versions.

What owners single out
Review 7's complaint about reduced cushioning aligns with the durability and material quality concerns that undermine the shoe's long-term value proposition.
In their words
“These are the best shoes I have ever owned. I previous had the Ghost and I thought they were fantastic, these are next level. I wear these for working on my feet all day, running, HIIT, everything. The two best things for me with Brooks shoes are that the D width easily fits my orthotics, and from the minute I put them on they don’t need wearing in, no blisters no rubbing, nothing. I didn’t think ”

“Coming from the adrenaline 22 which was very comfortable but slightly wide in the toe box. The 24's my foot would slide forward hitting the end of the shoe even though I had plenty of room. TighteningThe laces started to hurt my ankle after a bit. They added more cushion, which just feels stiffer in the front and gave it less of a heel to toe drop. Creating an extreme toe off when you walk or run.”

Promise vs. proof.
We lifted Brooks’s headline product-page claims and checked each against what owners and expert reviewers actually report.
Brooks' marketing claims about cushioning, support technology, and immediate comfort are well-supported by owner and reviewer data, with strong scores on comfort (4.2/5) and stability (4.5/5). However, the pitch glosses over real fit inconsistencies—particularly toe-box tightness—and durability concerns (3.5/5) that prevent the shoe from delivering all-day comfort universally, especially for wider feet.
“mesh upper provide a secure yet breathable fit”
Toe box runs snug for some feet
While the mesh upper is described as well-padded and secure by reviewers, fit inconsistencies—particularly toe-box tightness—undercut the breathability benefit for some wearers, with fit & sizing scoring only 3.8/5.
“Coming from the adrenaline 22 which was very comfortable but slightly wide in the toe box. The 24's my foot would slide forward hitting the end of the shoe even though I had plenty of room.”

Cushioning“nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 foam offers soft, smooth cushioning for a plush underfoot feel”Holds up
Owners and reviewers consistently report that the DNA LOFT v3 foam delivers a soft, cushioned ride with a plush underfoot feel, with comfort & cushioning scoring 4.2/5 and multiple reviewers praising the softer, more cushioned midsole.
“Between the comfort of the midsole, nice and soft landing, but with those stability rails, it's like that perfect combo of being able to land soft but staying strong and stable.”

Support Technology“GuideRails support technology helps keep your feet, knees, and hips properly aligned”Holds up
The GuideRails support technology is widely praised by reviewers and owners as providing effective stability and alignment support without feeling forced or bulky, with stability & support scoring 4.5/5.
Platform“stable yet cushioned platform”Mixed
The shoe delivers a stable and cushioned platform, but some reviewers feel the added softness has diluted the stability the model was historically known for, creating a trade-off rather than a clear win on both fronts.
All-day Comfort“ideal for runners seeking reliable support and all-day comfort”Mixed
Owners report immediate comfort and reliable support for most wearers, but durability concerns (3.5/5 score) and fit inconsistencies mean all-day comfort is not universal, particularly for those with wider feet or sensitivity to toe-box fit.
“These are the best shoes I have ever owned. I previous had the Ghost and I thought they were fantastic, these are next level. I wear these for working on my feet all day, running, HIIT, everything.”

You need a proven shoe with broad consensus and minimal risk.
Established Brooks brand, 3476 reviews at 4.7/5, and a mature model with settled design make this a low-risk, consensus pick for daily training.
You want a dependable daily trainer without overspending on premium branding.
At ~$73, the Adrenaline GTS 24 delivers strong comfort and stability ratings with a trusted brand, offering solid value for runners seeking a mid-priced stability shoe without luxury markup.
You want a shoe that works straight out of the box with no fuss.
Reviewers praise immediate comfort and wearability; the GuideRail system offers support without requiring adjustment or learning curve.
You seek a shoe that delights beyond specs—design, feel, or passionate community.
Reviewers praise comfort and the new foam feel, but the tone is practical and functional rather than passionate; it's a solid workhorse, not a beloved icon.
You demand top-tier performance with no compromises across all aspects.
While highly rated overall, reviewers note the softer midsole dilutes the stability it was known for, and fit/durability are mid-tier—not best-in-class across the board. Consider Ghost 18.

Frequently asked
What buyers want to know.
Is the Adrenaline GTS 24 good for flat feet?
Yes. Reviewers call it a comfortable, reliable stability trainer with a GuideRail system that offers support without feeling bulky. It ranks as the top pick for flat-foot runners and has strong buyer ratings.
What changed in the new version compared to the older model?
The midsole is now softer and more cushioned without adding much weight. Reviewers are split on whether this is better: some feel the added softness makes it ride more like a neutral shoe and worry longtime users will miss the firmer, more corrective feel, while others find the support well-balanced.
Who should not buy this shoe?
Runners with wide or high-volume feet may struggle, as the toe box and heel run snug for some. Also skip it if you relied on the older model's firmer medial-post stability and want that same corrective feel.
How does the fit compare to other daily trainers?
The shoe has a locked-in heel and well-padded upper that reviewers praise for comfort. The toe box fit is inconsistent: some found it more accommodating than before, while others found it snug or short. The shoe comes in a wide range of sizes and widths.
Is the cushioning enough?
Reviewers are divided. Some see the moderate stack height as balanced and ground-connected; others feel it offers less cushioning than rival daily trainers. The new foam does provide a plush, comfortable ride, but expectations vary on how much impact protection that delivers.
What is this shoe best used for?
It works well for runners or walkers who want a dependable daily trainer with mild pronation support and a comfortable, well-padded upper.
