This cradle-like feeling takes a little distance to become used to them but once you have they provide valuable stability to your stride. They are dynamic, meaning they engage when you need them to. For those unfamiliar with the GuideRail support system, you have two pieces of midsole foam on both the medial and lateral sides of your heel that cradle your foot while wearing them. The Adrenaline 22 is the third edition to feature Brooks GuideRail system. Once they are broken in they become more comfortable as the miles add up. Like other Brooks offerings I’ve reviewed, the Adrenaline has about a 20 to 30 mile break in period. It is still a balanced ride, by being responsive but also slightly plush. There is a small but noticeable bounce to this midsole compared to the 21s. This year they have decided to simplify things by making the midsole completely out of DNA Loft. Comfort was also found throughout the midsole.īioMoGo DNA and DNA Loft were the midsole materials in previous models. The crash pad absorbed the impact of foot strikes allowing the Adrenaline to maintain comfort during runs. The flex grooves added flexibility which aided the transition from strike to toe off. Like last year you will find Omega flex grooves and segmented crash pads on the outsole. This rubber provides traction and handles all mother nature throws at it. A dense blown rubber is found on the outsoles of the adrenaline. As with my experience with Brooks I was looking to put more miles in them because the more miles you put into them the more comfortable they become. Regardless of those two things they were comfortable from the first step on. The 12 mm drop was felt initially on the first try on but my feet and legs adjusted to it.Īn 8 miler was their maiden voyage.The drop and firmness took some getting used to. There was a balanced, responsive, and plush fit to the cushioning of the Adrenaline, which resulted in instant comfort. The rest of the fit was wide from toe box to heel.

It was noticeable, but not uncomfortable. When I put them on for the first time I noticed a small amount of tightness in the arch area of my right foot. There are 9 colorways to choose from so you are guaranteed to find one that you love. The colorway of the Adrenaline is stylish, with an all black upper accented with pops of orange and blue throughout the trainer. The 21s were my first experience with Brooks Adrenaline so I thought about that experience when I opened the box of 22s.
