First Impressions, Match and Higher

The Adrenaline 24 could be very acquainted in feel and appear general, with an enhanced engineered Air Mesh higher that could be very comfy and breathable, with good construction and an accommodating match. The match remains to be accommodating, with ample room for my foot and is general true to dimension. I discover the higher to be safe for strolling, highway operating and really non technical path operating.

Most importantly for me is that they’re very comfy for lengthy days on my toes with room for foot swelling and so they keep cool and ethereal.

Just like the earlier model, the heel counter is sturdy, nicely structured and nicely padded.

The gusseted tongue is thick and cozy, offering good safety from the laces.

Midsole & Platform

The massive story right here for my part is the improve to the supercritical DNA LOFT v3 midsole foam. The v3 foam has a softer, extra compliant really feel that’s noticeable on the run for larger general consolation, but remains to be supportive sufficient for lengthy days on my toes as a nurse. When operating, they really feel gentle and responsive for a stability day by day coach, however are on no account an uptempo shoe.

Just like the earlier variations, the 24 has the identical supportive GuideRails that run alongside both facet of the shoe to offer high notch lateral help and stability with the medial rail considerably firmer than the lateral for extra pronation help there.

Outsole

The outsole has been noticeably re-designed, however usually retains an analogous format/ratio of uncovered foam. The brand new RoadTack rubber outsole is made with recycled supplies and its format integrates nicely with the shoe, providing good traction and a smooth touchdown with useful rebound. Sturdiness is thus far excellent.

Trip, Conclusions and Suggestions

The experience of the Adrenaline 24 is clean, supportive, steady and predictable, with the Information Rails offering a pleasant structured and steady really feel with out feeling heavy, stiff or clunky. Whereas not notably responsive or speedy, they don’t really feel sluggish or sluggish both.

The brand new DNA Loft v3 midsole is a giant enchancment over the earlier model, enhancing the cushion, consolation and general gratifying nature of the shoe, however with out compromising stability and help.

I’d suggest the Adrenaline to anybody on the lookout for an extended distance stability coach and even for individuals who may not even want stability, however simply need a good, nicely cushioned, straightforward going, predictable and cozy coach. After all if you’re in your toes all day as I’m as a nurse, then these are an amazing possibility as nicely.

In contrast all through, however the 24 with the Loft DNA v3 has a softer, extra full of life really feel, however nonetheless has loads of help for lengthy days. Match is comparable.

Saucony Information 16 (RTR Evaluation)

Each are very comfy, supportive and shut in stats, however I discover the Adrenaline to be just a little extra roomy within the forefoot and a contact extra supportive. It’s a flip of the coin actually.

Brooks Ghost 16: (RTR Evaluation)

The Ghost is lighter and just like the Adrenaline, has the identical Loft DNA v3 foam enchancment and RoadTack outsole, has related match, however just isn’t fairly as supportive for lengthy days in your toes. The 2 sneakers are very related if not the identical, with the first distinction being the Information Rails within the Adrenaline.
