Brooks Adrenaline ASR

The Adrenaline ASR has been discontinued. If you're looking for something new, check out the best trail running shoes for 2023.

Good shoe for stability and durability.
Use: short trail runs
Break-in Period: few runs
Weight: 200
Price Paid: $75
Good: light, flexible, good for light/moderate trails (DRY trails), good smooth ride, not clunky or heavy in any way. Nice ankle stability and good laces too, they stay tight during a race =).
Bad: I just found out (the hard way) that these shoes do not descend well on wet ANYTHING. My old Asics Gel Eagle Trails were like suction cups and I could bomb down wet trails. Not these. I was tiptoeing down Mt. Greylock, losing time, getting passed left and right. At one point I had no choice but to run on wet rocks and both feet came right out from under me. Luckily I had grabbed a tree and was able to stop myself from bashing my head on the rocks. Oh and they run VERY hot - the material is supposed to be water resistant (hahahahah) so these shoes do not breathe well at all.
Needless to say I won't be buying these again. They have some good qualities, but for agressive trail running on gnarly trails there are better shoes out there.
Materials: stuff
Use: single track, technical mountain trails
Break-in Period: a couple of 30-45 min runs
Weight: 155
Price Paid: $80
