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.

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.
