Brooks Adrenaline GTS 9

Posted: 07/02/09
Updated: 11/02/09

'EXELLENT'

Strengths:
Soft and responsive and feels lighter than the 8...Not as "Hard" as the 8...more like the 7 BUT still the same supportive feel...just the cushion under the foot feels 'softer' than the 8...

Weaknesses:
Hope the softness doesn't shorten the lifespan...I am still doing 10 milers in my GTS 8's and they've got 460+ miles on em!!!

[Update 11/02/09] THE PRICE...UP £5...WHY???

Overall:
I run in the gts 6,7,8 and now 9 plus the ASR 4 and 5...and it feels very simular to the 7 for softness...8 was the hardest...we shall wait and see what they are like in 300 miles :)

Brooks Adrenaline ASR

Posted: 21/02/08

'AGGRESSIVE, STABLE AND WELL CUSHIONED'

Strengths:
The upper is water resillient and provided me with a little protection from the drizzle and the out-sole was very aggressive and gripped superbly- which worked well with the cushioning. Very simular to my GTS's BUT you must break these in!

Weaknesses:
You can run on pavement BUT not for too long, as it feels slightly less protective on flat and hard surfaces.

Overall:
A great off road shoe that you can use on the road but for a small percentage of the time.

Updated: 20/07/07

'GREAT FOR 5 MILERS BUT...'

Strengths:
Great and fast comfort for up to 5/6 miles light and fast but i'll stick to the Adistar for longer runs.

[Update 20/07/07] Garbage after 160 miles - like an effing flip[flop - nowhere near the adistar shoes1!!

Weaknesses:
After 6 miles, i can feel the ground more...

[Update 20/07/07] None

Overall:
Worth while getting for mid-week 4 milers and great for 3 mile speed sessions...not for the big ones!

[Update 20/07/07] garbage...
