Men's Adrenaline GTS 24

Support That Feels Natural. Comfort That Keeps You Moving.

The Brooks Adrenaline GTS 24 is designed for runners and walkers who want a secure, steady ride without stepping into a shoe that feels heavy or overly corrective.

It has enough cushioning for everyday training, long walks, and extended time on your feet, while Brooks’ GuideRails support system adds guidance when your stride needs it. That balance makes the Adrenaline a practical option for everything from a first training program to regular weekly mileage.

At Dave’s Running, the Adrenaline has remained a trusted fitting-room favorite because it solves a common need: comfortable support that feels easy to wear.

For runners and walkers searching for a dependable stability shoe with a familiar fit, smooth cushioning, and plenty of everyday versatility, the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 24 is a shoe we recommend with confidence.

Why We Recommend the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 24

A good support shoe should help you feel more confident—not make you feel like the shoe is controlling every step.

That is one of the reasons the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 24 continues to work so well for so many people.

We regularly fit it for runners who want more structure than a neutral shoe provides, but still want a smooth and comfortable ride for daily use. It is also a popular option for walkers and customers who spend much of the day on their feet and prefer a stable platform beneath them.

The strength of the Adrenaline is its balance.

The cushioning softens impact without making the shoe feel unstable. The GuideRails system adds guidance without creating an aggressive sensation beneath the arch. The upper secures the foot without feeling stiff, and the overall ride remains consistent from the beginning of a run through the final miles.

It is not designed to be the lightest or fastest shoe in your rotation. Instead, it is built to be the shoe you can rely on for steady mileage, comfortable walking, and everyday movement.

Within the Brooks lineup, the Adrenaline GTS 24 is the dependable support counterpart to the neutral Brooks Ghost. It provides a more guided experience while maintaining the comfortable, familiar feel many Brooks customers already enjoy.

Fit & Sizing

✔ True to Size  ✔ Secure Fit through the Heel  ✔ Supportive Midfoot Fit  

✔ Medium-Volume Fit  ✔ Breathable Mesh ✔ Multiple widths  ✔ Works with Orthotics

The Adrenaline GTS 24 has a traditional Brooks fit that feels secure without being overly restrictive. The heel stays comfortably in place, while the midfoot provides enough structure to keep the shoe feeling stable during running and walking.

The toe box offers reasonable space for natural movement, but it is not especially wide in the standard version. Customers with a broader forefoot, bunions, swelling, or a higher-volume foot may feel better in one of the available wide or extra-wide options.

Because the factory insole is removable, the Adrenaline can also accommodate many custom and over-the-counter orthotics. Keep in mind that an orthotic may reduce the amount of available space inside the shoe, so width and overall volume should be checked carefully.

For running, we generally recommend allowing enough room for the foot to expand as the miles add up. Your toes should not press against the front of the shoe, and the widest part of your foot should line up comfortably with the widest part of the platform.

Our Shoe Fit Specialists can help you compare sizes and widths if you are unsure which Brooks Adrenaline GTS 24 fit is best for you.

Comparable Shoes

Support shoes can feel very different even when they are designed for similar runners. These are several models customers often compare with the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 24.

Brooks Ghost 17

The Brooks Ghost offers a similar everyday feel but without GuideRails support. It is a better choice for runners who like Brooks’ fit and cushioning but feel more comfortable in a neutral running shoe.

Brooks Glycerin GTS 22

The Brooks Glycerin GTS provides a softer and more premium underfoot experience while still including GuideRails support. It may appeal to runners and walkers who want more cushioning than the Adrenaline delivers.

ASICS GEL-Kayano 32

The ASICS GEL-Kayano offers a broader platform and a more substantial cushioning experience. It can be a good alternative for runners who want premium comfort with a different style of support and a more planted feel.

HOKA Gaviota 6

The HOKA Gaviota combines a wide base, high cushioning, and a rocker-shaped transition. It may work better for someone who prefers a rolling sensation through each step rather than the more traditional feel of the Adrenaline.

New Balance Fresh Foam X 860

The New Balance Fresh Foam X 860 is another versatile daily support shoe. It may be especially appealing to customers who prefer New Balance’s fit, need additional forefoot room, or want to compare a different approach to stability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 24 good for beginners?

Yes. It can be a strong option for a new runner who feels comfortable in a support shoe.

The ride is predictable, the cushioning is forgiving, and the fit feels secure. Those qualities can help beginning runners focus on building consistency rather than adjusting to an overly specialized shoe.

Not every new runner needs added support, so the best choice is always the shoe that feels most natural during a fitting.

Is the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 24 good for marathon training?

Yes. The Adrenaline GTS 24 works well for regular mileage, easy days, recovery runs, and long training efforts.

Its cushioning provides dependable protection, while the GuideRails system can add useful guidance when fatigue begins to affect your stride. Runners who want a lighter option for faster workouts or race day may pair it with a second shoe.

Can I walk in the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 24?

Yes. It is an excellent option for fitness walking, treadmill sessions, neighborhood walks, travel, and everyday activity.

Many walkers appreciate that it feels cushioned without becoming overly soft, while the stable platform provides a secure feeling beneath the foot.

Is it comfortable for standing all day?

For many customers, yes.

People who work in healthcare, education, retail, warehouses, restaurants, and other jobs that involve long hours on hard floors often look for this combination of cushioning and stability.

The proper size and width are important. A shoe that is too short, narrow, or low-volume will not remain comfortable through a full day, regardless of how much cushioning it has.

Does the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 24 work with orthotics?

It works well with many orthotics because the original insole can be removed and the shoe is available in multiple widths.

The correct fit can change once an orthotic is added, so it is best to try the shoe with the insert you plan to use. Some customers may need a wider width to maintain enough space inside the shoe.

Is the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 24 a good option for plantar fasciitis?

No shoe can diagnose or treat plantar fasciitis.

However, some customers dealing with heel or arch discomfort prefer the Adrenaline because of its cushioning, secure heel, 12 mm drop, and stable platform. Others may feel better in a shoe with different geometry or a different level of support.

We recommend a professional fitting and guidance from a qualified medical provider when pain is ongoing or severe.

Is the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 24 good for overpronation?

The Adrenaline is often chosen by runners and walkers who benefit from moderate guidance, including some people who overpronate.

Its GuideRails system is designed to help reduce excess movement without using the traditional firm post found in many older stability shoes.

Overpronation is only one part of selecting footwear. Overall comfort, foot shape, mobility, injury history, and movement pattern also matter.

How does the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 24 compare with the Brooks Ghost?

The key difference is support.

The Adrenaline GTS 24 includes GuideRails for added guidance. The Brooks Ghost is a neutral daily trainer without that support system.

Both offer comfortable cushioning and a familiar Brooks fit. Runners who prefer a more guided platform may choose the Adrenaline, while those who want a neutral ride may feel better in the Ghost.

How does the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 24 compare with the Brooks Glycerin GTS?

The Adrenaline GTS 24 has a more traditional and grounded feel.

The Brooks Glycerin GTS offers a softer, more luxurious cushioning experience while still providing GuideRails support. The Adrenaline is often chosen for reliable everyday training, while the Glycerin GTS may appeal more to runners and walkers who prioritize plush comfort.
