Higher ratedRanked #1 in Best Running Shoes for Overpronation

Brooks Adrenaline GTS 25

4.5

$154.95as of Jun 7

The Adrenaline GTS 25 is the best overall stability pick for overpronation: Brooks' decades-refined GuideRails system steers the foot without the harsh feel of a traditional medial post, now on a softer DNA Loft v3 midsole and a more natural 10mm drop. RunRepeat scored it 87/100 and praised its excellent stability with subtle support, and Run To The Finish rated it 93%.

Strengths

— GuideRails support guides the foot without an aggressive, intrusive medial post
— Softer DNA Loft v3 midsole and a lower 10mm drop versus the 12mm of older models
— RunRepeat measured a strong 87/100 CoreScore

Watch-outs

— Heavier than last year at about 10.4 oz
— Support is subtle — severe overpronators may need a stronger shoe
— Not built for speed; firmer-feeling than max-cushion stability rivals

Ranked #5 in Best Running Shoes for Overpronation

Brooks Beast GTS 24

4.2

$160

The Beast GTS 24 is the maximal motion-control pick for severe overpronation: a heavy, firm, supremely stable trainer where GuideRails and a stiff midsole deliver the strongest correction in this group. RunRepeat called it 'world-class stability,' and Doctors of Running graded its stability an A — but at over 12 oz, it is a support specialist, not a do-everything shoe.

Strengths

— World-class motion control — the strongest correction in this group for severe overpronation
— GuideRails plus a firm midsole excel at preventing lateral and medial drift
— Built for flat-footed, severe overpronators who need maximal support

Watch-outs

— Very heavy at over 12 oz — the bulkiest shoe in the group
— Firm midsole gives a ride that is anything but lively or fun
— Overkill for mild or moderate overpronators

How they stack up

Brooks Adrenaline GTS 25

Lighter and more affordable than the max-cushion Saucony Hurricane 25 and ASICS Gel-Kayano 32, with subtler, GuideRails-based support rather than a tall cushioned platform. Offers more correction than the mild Saucony Guide 18 but far less than the maximal Brooks Beast GTS 24 motion-control tank.

Brooks Beast GTS 24

Far more corrective and much heavier than every other shoe here — it provides maximal motion control where the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 25 offers moderate GuideRails support and the Saucony Guide 18 offers only mild stability. Firmer and far less plush than the cushioned Saucony Hurricane 25 and ASICS Gel-Kayano 32.
