Our Verdict

ASICS GT-2000 14

Brooks Adrenaline GTS 25

The ASICS GT-2000 14 and the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 25 present two different approaches for a stability trainer to correct stride patterns. The Brooks shoe is a bit more intrusive in its approach, with a firm medial post that guides your foot back into a neutral position if you over-pronate. The GT-2000 14 takes a softer approach, with a pod of springier foam on the medial side that is meant to bounce your foot back to neutral if it rolls inward. Neither shoe does much to bounce your foot forward, although the ASICS shoe does have better energy return.
