Brooks Adrenaline GTS 25 vs Brooks Ghost Amp

Brooks Adrenaline GTS 25

± Divisive

Softer DNA Loft v3 and a lower 10 mm drop smooth the heel transition and make easy miles more comfortable, but the ride is still firm and short on energy return, and some testers find it dull.

Brooks Ghost Amp

+ Praised

Snappy and flexible at steady and tempo paces, with a lively forefoot and a natural feel; several testers find it firm and less bouncy than the DNA Hype name promises.

+ Praised

More foam in the heel and forefoot takes the edge off landings and suits daily mileage, though lab tests call it average and the forefoot firms up over longer runs.

Brooks Ghost Amp

± Divisive

The moderate stack protects routine miles without feeling bulky, but lab energy return is modest and the ride is firmer than expected.

Brooks Adrenaline GTS 25

± Divisive

A roomier forefoot and soft mesh improve comfort for many, but the tapered toe box, thick warm upper and heavily padded heel collar divide testers.

Brooks Ghost Amp

± Divisive

The padded knit upper locks the foot down securely and breathes well, but the tapered toe box and short fit force some runners to size up.
