Confluence Running
The Adrenaline GTS 25 is an everyday stability trainer with GuideRails support and DNA LOFT v3 cushioning. It is worth considering if you want a guided, steady road feel without a rigid corrective shoe. It works across routine mileage, walks and long shifts on your feet.
The GTS 26 is the newer generation, but the GTS 25 still deserves a side-by-side fitting when its available size and price suit you. Compare it with a neutral Ghost to decide whether you enjoy the difference in support, especially on paved neighborhood and rail-trail miles.
Fit before category
The important question is whether the GuideRails ride feels comfortable with your natural movement. Check the correct width, instep pressure, forefoot room and heel hold. The Adrenaline family has changed over time, so your old size isn't the only guide. Walk and jog in the shoe if you're able, then compare another supported or neutral option. Choose based on fit and comfort instead of a stability label.
We fit shoes against your foot shape, width, comfort, movement and intended use—not just a label like “neutral” or “stability.”
How the shoe works
GuideRails guidance, nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, engineered mesh upper and RoadTack road outsole. Suited to daily road mileage and walking.
