Support level
Support Guide
Neutral
Brooks shoes that are designated “neutral” are designed to deliver comfort and durability for a neutral stride — one that doesn’t need additional support.
Support
Brooks shoes with the “GTS” designation feature our Go-To-Support, which helps keep runners in their natural stride, even when they tire. Think of bumpers in a bowling lane!
Maximum Support
To provide maximum support, we pair our go-to-support (GTS) with additional features such as an extra wide base to enhance stability.
Not sure if you need support?
Use the questions below or complete the self-assessment in our 5-minute Shoe Finder Quiz.
You may benefit from extra support if:
- Your knees move inward or touch when you do a simple squat
- You frequently get the same injury
- You pronate or supinate
- Your toes point in or out when you walk
- Neutral
- Support
- Maximum support
Go fast. Have fun.
Comfort at high speed
Lightweight cushioning
Our dynamic BioMoGo DNA midsole provides the cushioning you need without weighing you down.
- BioMoGo DNA cushioning adapts to your stride, weight, and speed to help reduce impact on your joints.
- Our cushioning technologies all start with DNA because they react to your unique stride.
Keep up your momentum
Quick transitions
Air-injected rubber at the front of the outsole grips the surface and propels you forward.
- We use air-injected rubber because it’s lighter and more flexible than traditional rubber.
- Quick transitions help reduce your ground contact times, keeping your stride quick and efficient.
Built-in breeze
Extra breathable
A new air mesh upper helps you stay cool while providing a snug-yet-secure fit.
- Did you know that air mesh can be key in wicking away sweat and preventing blisters?
