Ghost 3 Awarded Runner’s World’s “International Editor’s Choice”

It’s déjà vu all over again… first Runner’s World awarded “Editor’s Choice” to the Ghost 3 in the magazine’s Fall 2010 Shoe Guide. They said “It’s still light and zippy while being supportive enough to protect your legs on long runs,” adding that testers enjoyed the shoe’s snug fit through the heel and midfoot.

Then on November 5, Runner’s World announced that the Brooks Ghost 3 had won the “2010 International Editor’s Choice” award at the magazine’s annual International Shoe Awards Party. Selected from 90 performance running shoes reviewed in the magazine throughout 2010, the Ghost 3 was voted “the shoe heard ’round the world” by Runner’s World’s global editors.

“The ‘2010 International Editor’s Choice’ award for the Ghost 3 honors the hard work our team relentlessly invests in building great product that runners want and need,” said Jim Weber, president and CEO of Brooks. “This is an exciting time for Brooks, and this recognition fuels our drive to keep giving runners positive and unique product experiences for seasons to come.”

Brooks Trance™ 10 vs. Brooks Adrenaline™ GTS 11: What’s the difference?

We are frequently asked what the real difference is between the Brooks Adrenaline™ GTS 11 (the newest version of our award-winning, most popular, best-selling Go To Shoe) and brand new Brooks Trance™ 10.

Both shoes provide support for the same type of runner: the moderate overpronator. With that said, there are a few key differences between these shoes:

- One of the biggest differences is the fit. The Adrenaline™ GTS 11 has its signature “midfoot wrap”, now enhanced with an adjustable stretch lacing system for a secure, foot-hugging fit so that you’ll feel “at one” with the shoe. In comparison, the Trance™ 10 feels like it has a roomier, wider toe box.

- The Trance™ 10 now features our patent-pending Brooks® DNA technology, with full-length DNA adaptive cushioning. By contrast, the Adrenaline only has DNA pods in the heel and the forefoot.

- The materials in the upper of the Trance™ are top-of-the-line premium plush and softer, which adds to the cost. It’s the Cadillac of shoes.

Both shoes are great for moderate pronators, but the difference is in the ride. The Adrenaline™ GTS 11 gives me a snugger fit, making me feel a little more “in touch”. The Trance™ 10 feels like running on clouds — super comfortable. I happen to prefer the GTS, but it’s personal preference. That’s why we make different types of shoes, after all.

Trail runners rejoice — the Cascadia 6 is available now! We added our adaptable Brooks DNAcushioning to the heel and forefoot of the Cascadia, creating customized comfort and a shoe that adapts to different surfaces. In addition, we made sure the midfoot saddle is our most conformable and adjustable, offering an unsurpassed glove-like fit to almost any foot, and further perfecting the locked-in feel for ultra-stability. Then we added a medial forefoot pivot post with four points of contact – providing 4×4-like suspension in a much more sustainable way. Oh, and we added all that while making the shoe nearly an ounce lighter. Sweet!
