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.
For testing purposes, I wore both theBrooks GhostandBrooks Adrenalinefor all the workouts below (at a minimum).
What is Brooks?
Brooksis a Seattle-basedsportswear company making high-performance sneakers, clothing, and accessories.
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.
Which should you choose?
Choose theBrooks Ghostifyou have a neutral or high arch and do not need extra stability.
TheGhostandAdrenalinesneakers areboth extremely comfortableand great for all running experience levels.
