On the run

Adrenaline GTS 26: The steady stability shoe, refreshed. Soft, balanced and predictable, much like the GTS 25. The heel is softer than the forefoot, and the GuideRails stay out of the way until you need them.

GT-2000 15: Light stability with some pop. Resilient and snappy for a stability shoe, with more rocker than any GT-2000 before it. The support is steady without feeling heavy, and it handles faster runs.

The Adrenaline GTS 26 hasn’t been lab tested yet, so its feel ratings carry over from the GTS 25, which has the same foam and stack.

Fit

Adrenaline GTS 26. True to size with fairly generous volume and excellent heel lock, per early reviews. Narrow through extra-wide.

GT-2000 15. Snug and low volume, with a tapered toebox, so lace it carefully. Wide and extra-wide available.
