Brooks is known for dependable, comfortable trainers in plenty of widths: the Ghost and Glycerin for neutral runners, the Adrenaline GTS for stability, the Hyperion line for speed and the Cascadia on the trail.

Brooks' most cushioned GuideRails shoe pairs DNA Tuned foam with firm, centred support for relaxed miles. Very stable and durable, but heavy and short on rebound.
A light, plated trail shoe with DNA Flash v2 foam and a SkyVault plate that doubles as a rock plate. Stable and grippy for fast running on easier trails, if not especially springy.
Brooks' sub-200 g marathon racer with DNA Gold PEBA foam, a carbon SpeedVault+ plate and a steeper rocker. Its best Hyperion Elite yet, though still a step behind the top super shoes.
192 g7 mm dropCarbon platepropulsivestable£240 RRP
Brooks' first PEBA trail racer, combining DNA Gold foam, a carbon-infused Pebax plate and Vibram Megagrip Elite. Fast and stable over long, runnable trail races, at a steep price.
275 g6 mm dropPlate / rodspropulsivestable£225 RRP
A light, low-key trainer with a firmer, ground-connected ride and a DNA Flash forefoot. Great value for quicker days if you don't want a max-stack shoe.
A lighter, more modern Ghost built on DNA Hype foam with a gentle rocker and a premium knit upper. Comfortable and flexible for everyday miles, though the bounce is milder than the name suggests.
A big-stack trainer pairing DNA Gold PEBA foam with a nylon SpeedVault plate. Cushioned yet controlled for long runs and steady tempo work, though heavy for an uptempo shoe.
286 g6 mm dropNylon plateresponsivepropulsive£170 RRP
The Ghost's familiar ride adapted for gravel, towpaths and easy trails, with DNA Loft v3 foam and a grippy lugged outsole. One shoe for mixed routes, though heavier than it looks.
A taller, softer take on Brooks' budget Revel, borrowing ideas from the Ghost Max for comfortable easy miles. Strong value and durable, though heavier and stiffer than the regular Revel.
A softer, bendier take on the Glycerin with a dual-density DNA Tuned midsole and a premium knit upper. Lighter than the Glycerin 23 and easy to run or walk in, but not especially lively.
Brooks' tallest, softest road shoe, built on a thick slab of DNA Tuned foam with a rocker. A comfortable cruiser for slow miles, but heavy and short on rebound.
Brooks' heavy-duty GuideRails stability shoe for runners and walkers who want maximum support. Very stable and secure, but heavy and flat-feeling for faster running.
