Distilled from the video reviewers — the score, what they praise, where they push back.?

Adrenaline GTS 25
across 5 reviews
3.5/5
divided
Reviewers praise
  • Guide rails on both medial and lateral sides deliver gentle, non-intrusive stability suited to overpronators and oversupinators alike
  • Improved heel bevel and reduced drop create a noticeably smoother heel-to-toe transition compared to prior versions
  • Padded, well-fitting upper with wider forefoot accommodates a broad range of foot shapes, including higher-volume feet
Reviewers push back
  • Midsole foam is cushioned but dead — no energy return or bounce, feeling flat compared to newer-generation foams
  • Warmer, less breathable upper becomes uncomfortable in hot conditions
  • Forefoot firms up noticeably over longer distances, causing discomfort for some reviewers past seven or eight miles
A dependable, well-rounded stability daily trainer that rewards runners needing guided support, but offers a cushioned rather than energetic ride and runs warmer than many alternatives.
— best for: Runners and walkers who overpronate or oversupinate, want reliable daily-training stability without aggressive correction, and prioritise consistent protection and fit over a lively or springy ride.
Fresh Foam X More v6
across 5 reviews
4.0/5
mixed
Reviewers praise
  • Exceptional cushioning and plush ride from the large Fresh Foam X midsole, suited to recovery runs and all-day standing
  • Notably improved stability over the previous version via a wider outsole platform and stiffer heel counter
  • Roomier toe box with more volume than the prior version, accommodating wider feet
Reviewers push back
  • Completely unsuited to faster-paced running — the high stack and soft foam make picking up the pace laborious
  • Stretchy laces can cause the fit to feel loose during runs, requiring mid-run adjustments
  • Breathability is only adequate; the padded upper can feel warm in hot conditions
Reviewers broadly agree the More v6 is among the softest, most cushioned shoes available for easy runs and all-day wear, with meaningful stability improvements over its predecessor.
— best for: Runners and on-feet workers who prioritise maximum cushioning and all-day comfort over pace or energy return, including those who need wide or extra-wide sizing.
Reviewers disagree · Adrenaline GTS 25?
Alastair Running 4.0/5
Doctors of Running 3.0/5

Reviewers disagree on whether the version-25 changes constitute a meaningful upgrade or merely a sideways step — one calls it 'side step rather than a huge leap forward' while others describe the heel transition improvement as the best in the line's history

Reviewers disagree · Fresh Foam X More v6?
Hes Kicks 4.5/5
kofuzi 3.5/5

Reviewers disagree on whether the v6 is softer or firmer than the v5: the blind-test channel found the v6 noticeably softer, while the physio-focused reviewer and the Ben Parkes channel describe it as somewhat firmer underfoot

I've run in Brooks Adrenalines for years, starting with the 19, 20 and most "recently" the 21 which were my favourite running shoe of all time. So much so that I kept buying pairs on discount years later. When the stock finally depleted, I tried the 22 and absolutely hated them! Awful, stiff, uncomfortable and cheap feeling shoes. Yuck!

The New Balance Fresh Foam X More v6 are easily the most comfortable sports shoes I’ve ever worn, with incredibly soft cushioning that still feels stable and supportive during long days on my feet. Since wearing them, I’ve had no more foot or joint pain, even after workouts or extended periods of walking. They feel lightweight, responsive, and perfectly balanced, making every step smooth and effor newbalance.com.au
