About 2 years ago I went to a local running store where they had a treadmill setup with staff trained to examine ankle roll and pronation. They recommended the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 6 - wow, what a difference it made.
I'm not an avid runner, but I know it's time for new shoes. What model does Brooks make that's similar to the Adrenaline? I went to the store and tried on the Glycerine, which feels similar. But I'd optimally like to get the same kind of shoe.
Thanks.
The Axiom is like a lightweight version of the Adrenaline. Hope that helps some.
Most similar to the Adrenaline is the Adrenaline...
If you loved the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 6, first try the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 8.
If you want the top-of-the line Adrenaline, try the Brooks Trance 8. If you want a lightweight Adrenaline, try the Brooks Axiom 3. If you want a hybrid between the Adrenaline and the Trance, try the Brooks Infiniti.

Actually, the Infiniti is more like a hybrid of the Adrenaline and the Axiom. Brooks divides the 4 models into "Guidance" and "Stability". The Axiom and the Infiniti are in Guidance and the Adrenaline and the Trance are in Stability.
That being said, I wouldn't recommend the Trance unless you enjoy running in cinder blocks. I love Brooks, but that model sucks. If you don't want the latest Adrenaline, go with the Infiniti -- I'm very pleased with it (though I prefer the Axiom).
+1 - The Trance is overpriced and (at least for me) the poorest of choices when it comes to Brooks.

I loved the Brooks Burn 2 and thought the Burn 3 was decent. What would be a replacement for those?
Good stuff from China Star.
I'm a dedicated Adrenaline user, but have also tried several other models (Axiom, Trance, ST3, Trail Addiction). The Axiom is a lighter version of the Adrenaline, the ST3 is a super light version with less support (and they don't last too long, a good racer), and the Trance feels like a firmer Adrenaline. In my experience, the Trance does hold up longer, but it's not worth the extra coin. I use the Adrenaline as my everyday shoe, and the ST3 for races and speedwork.
Thanks for the input.
I think I'm going to go with the Adrenaline or the Axiom.
Has anybody had any experience with the Ghost and if so how it compares to the Burn? Thanks.
much higher off the ground and much more durable. still build for the supinator, but not really a lightweight trainer anymore. Kind of like a lightweight glycerin, but still 11oz or so.

I'd like to know too. I used to swear by the Asics Cumulus line, but I think the Burn 3 is now my favorite training shoe ever.
We got in the Ghost today. The response already is very positive. (A couple of Kenyans training here really liked them, and some local 5Kers liked them as well.)
Size 9 weighed 10.6. So in terms of weight, it is not a lightweight, but not standard either. It runs lighter than it weighs, which is nice.
The fit is snug, but not Burn 3 snug. Runs about 1/4 size short.
The key is that the midfoot truss is flexible enough to allow the foot to move naturally. (Lydiard would be proud.) It has the cushioned feel of a trainer, and the flexiblity of a racer, which is a unique feel, one that is more than welcome.
Aside from the toe piece, which might hit some toes a bit awkwardly, this shoe is awesome.
To those of you interested in what is similar the the Burn, the Ghost is its replacement. The Speedstar from Asics or the 826 from New Balance would be similar as well.
Pring,
Since you had success with the Adrenaline 6 you should have no problem transitioning into the Adrenaline 8 that is in stores now. If you are looking for another comparable option from Brooks, I would urge you to try the Trance 8 that hit stores this week. The Trance has the same stability characteristics as the Adrenaline, but with a few extra cushioning technologies.

Any recommendations for a stability shoe in $50 range? I've been running in Adrenaline GTS 7s, but looking for something a bit cheaper. Thanks
has anyone run in the Brooks Dyad?
stick with the Adrenaline. Excellent shoe
each brooks shoe offers slightly different perks.
i found a cool website that offers cheap brooks shoes and free shipping. you can find out much more about each brooks shoe from this site as well.

MRC guy, that website is out-dated.
