Brooks Running Shoes
Brooks continues to move the running world foward with their breaking new ground in their use of environmentally friendly materials in their running shoes. They have proven that you don’t have to sacrifice quality to help out mother earth. They’ve proven their success in making the best running shoes, being awarded many times as Editor’s Choice by Runners World for various shoes in their lineup, from Brooks Cascadia 4 Trail shoes to the Brooks Defyance.
Brooks Adrenaline GTS 10
Brooks Adrenaline GTS 10
Winner of the Runners World Best Update for Winter 2009, the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 10 is a Stability shoe designed for light to average weight, normal-arched runners looking for a stable trainer. The shoe does have a lot of support for a Stability shoe, so if you are thinking a Motion Control shoe may be too much for you, but you want to maintain a good amount of stability, the Adrenaline may be a good shoe to try out.
With the Adrenaline GTS 9’s success, the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 10 has a lot to live up to, but from hearing from other runners who have made the step up to the 10’s, almost all have been pleased with the familiar feel of the 10’s.
Brooks Glycerin 8
Brooks Glycerin 8
The Brooks Glycerin 8 is a Neutral shoe that has been awarded Runners World Editors Choice for Spring 2010.
The Brooks Glycerin 8 is the first shoe from Brooks to contain their new technology called Brooks DNA. This fancy sounding technology basically means that the cushioning adapts to the unique needs of each runner. If you are heavier, it supports more, if you are lighter, it supports less because it doesn’t need to. The Glycerin has always been known as a good supportive shoe able to handle the foot strike of bigger runners.

Brooks Addiction 8 running shoes
Brooks Addiction 8
Brooks Addiction 8 running shoes belong to Brooks motion control running shoes line. In the motion control category, the Addiction is consistently one of the top selling motion control shoes in the $90 level.
The Brooks Addiction provides good cushion. If you compare the Brooks Addiction with the Brooks Adrenaline, the Addiction is more cushioned and is much more stable. The Addiction is heavier than the Adrenaline but more stable.
Brooks Beast running shoes and Brooks Ariel running shoes
Brooks Beast
The Brooks Beast is the typical shoe for heavier runners who overpronate severely. Even if an overpronator, that may not be the right shoe. The Brooks Beast is a big motion control shoe, not really for slight overpronators. Standard/premium stability shoes can work just fine in many cases.
The Brooks Beast shoe has more of the high-end stuff than the Brooks Addiction. For the money, the Addiction is a good shoe, but it doesn’t stack up to the Brooks Beast for heavy severe overpronators.

Brooks Switch 2 running shoes
Brooks Switch 2
Brooks Switch 2 running shoes are the last shoe that we’ll cover in our posts on Brooks guidance running shoes. Its the low end of Brooks Guidance Shoe Category. The Medial posting is minimal, similar to how the Asics 1110s were from a few years back. The post is almost directly under the arch and lacks the Dual-density posting of many of the higher-end Brooks shoes. Its pretty soft but nowhere near the softness of the Brooks Radius. Its on the heavy side. Fit is typical of Brooks, i.e. wide forefoot, snug arch.

There is a non-toxic additive to the new material which encourages anaerobic microbes to begin breaking [...]
