On the run

GT-1000 15: Budget stability that gets the job done. Secure and confidence-inspiring, with a broader platform than earlier GT-1000s that works well for heel strikers. The ride is firm-ish and lacks bounce, so it’s better for shorter runs.

Adrenaline GTS 25: The steady everyday stability shoe. Balanced, smooth and predictable, and a little softer than the GTS 24. The GuideRails keep your knees tracking straight, and you notice them most when your legs are tired.
