Brooks Adrenaline GTS 25 vs New Balance Fresh Foam X 860v15

Buy the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 25 if you want maximum, proven stability with a soft, plush ride and a wide range of widths and sizes. Buy the New Balance Fresh Foam X 860v15 if you prefer a lighter, lower-drop shoe with a rocker that rolls you forward and stability built into the platform rather than a medial post. Both are daily stability trainers that reviewers rate highly; the Brooks leans softer and more supportive, the New Balance leans smoother and more natural underfoot.

• Choose the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 25 if you overpronate, want GuideRails support and plush DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, and need a 10 mm drop with narrow to extra-wide width options.
• Choose the New Balance Fresh Foam X 860v15 if you want a lighter stability trainer with a 6 mm drop, a rocker profile and a gusseted tongue that stays put.
