Personally, Ivehad countless experts recommendtheBrooks Ghostrunning sneakers for my feetbut I have friends who swear by theBrooks Adrenaline.

For the purpose of this review, Ispent at least one week exclusively running in each shoe.

Im not training for a race at the moment, so I typicallyrun four to five days per week.

The brands designs are known fortheir cloud-like comfort, stability, and support available in a number of models.

PodiatristAnne Sharkey, DPM, previously told me theGhostare specifically great for those withhigh archesorwide feet.

The midsole is made of the brands DNA Loft v3, a Nitrogen-infused foam.

Even on my longest run (10+ miles), these shoes are extremely comfortable.

The Guiderails technology really doeskeep your stride smooth over long or short distances.

The cushioning feels extremely soft, yet still supportive.

However, a brand like Hoka will likely feel even softer.

There are mixed reviews on which shoe is softer, but I personally find theAdrenalineto be slightly more cushioned.

TheGhostsneaker wins this category, as a carbon-neutral shoe with 67% recycled materials in its upper.
