Road & trail running shoes — men and women


Brooks

Brooks is a running specialist. The brand focuses on one thing — helping you run better — with shoes built around cushioning, support and durability. Whether you log easy miles or chase a personal best, there's a Brooks model for your stride.

Neutral or support

If your foot rolls inward too much (overpronation), a support shoe like the Adrenaline GTS guides your stride. If your foot is stable, a neutral shoe like the Ghost or Glycerin lets it move naturally.

Road or trail

Smooth, cushioned outsoles for the road; aggressive lugs and protection for the trail. Pick the surface you run on most.

The model families

Ghost: the versatile everyday neutral trainer. Glycerin: maximum plush cushioning for long runs. Adrenaline GTS: the reference support shoe. Launch: lighter and faster for tempo work.

Are Brooks good running shoes?

Yes. Brooks is a running specialist that does nothing else, known for its cushioning and support. The Ghost (neutral) and Adrenaline GTS (support) are among the most recommended models for daily training.

How do Brooks shoes fit?

Brooks generally fit true to size. Some models like the Adrenaline can run a little small at the toe: if you have a wide foot or are between sizes, go up half a size.

Are Brooks good for plantar fasciitis?

Yes, many runners with plantar fasciitis like Brooks for their cushioning and support. A support model like the Adrenaline GTS or a well-cushioned model like the Glycerin are often recommended.

How do I wash my Brooks shoes?

Remove the laces and insole, brush off dirt, then hand-clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid the washer and dryer, which damage the glue and foam; air-dry them.

Where are Brooks shoes made?

Brooks is an American brand (Seattle) whose production is mainly in Asia, like most major running brands.
