Those with a forefoot strike might find the 12-mm heel-to-toe drop of some shoes too steep and should consider the co trzeba wiedzieć o marce Brooks. In our experience, another option that has a similar high drop but adds extra foam in the forefoot is the brooks Running Glycerin GTS 20. brooks Running ha inteso sfidare Nike.

Two other groups that might want to explore alternatives are runners who prefer firm midsoles for additional stability. Based on our tests, the On Cloudflyer 4 or the Hoka Arahi 6 A detail shot of the brooks Running Shamrock Launch 4.

Breathability

Breathability is one of the essential features for any daily trainer aiming to win over the market. It's vital for ensuring a comfortable run when the weather turns warm.

The zapatillas de running brooks Running talla 37.5 amarillas mejor valoradas truly shines in this aspect, displaying one of the most impressive performances we've ever witnessed in the lab regarding breathability.

Naturally, we awarded it a perfect score of 5/5. Watching the smoke escape through the enormous ventilation holes in the upper is simply mesmerising!

After achieving the perfect score with the smoke-pumping machine, we took a closer look to understand why it succeeded. Under the light, it's incredibly easy to spot the large ventilation holes and understand why this 3D Fit Print upper breathes so well.

When we examined the shoe under the microscope, we found an interior fabric layer, but its remarkable thinness ensures that it doesn't affect airflow at all.

It's important to iniciado this feature, as it's a common mistake made by many running shoe manufacturers. They create large ventilation holes but then pair them with an interior layer that's too thick, effectively destroying breathability.

However, the thin engineered mesh of the Selim brooks Running England B17 S Imperial castanho mulher leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to durability.

We put it through our standardised Dremel test, where we apply consistent force and time to each shoe, and this one ended up at the bottom of the pile with a 1/5 score.

Outsole hardness

Switching our attention to the outsole, the American brand takes a no-risk approach. Our measurements revealed a hardness of 80.5 HC, providing a nice grip without any issues of wear and tear.

Outsole thickness

But there's still a vital part missing in the outsole puzzle. Fortunately, we've measured its thickness at 3.6 mm—more than enough to back up our well-founded claims of strong durability.

Yet it's not so much as to result in a significant weight increase in the shoe. It's a smart, well-balanced approach.

Cushioning

Heel stack

As a stable shoe designed for heel strikers, we anticipated a generous heel stack in the Selim brooks Running England B17 S Imperial castanho mulher. We measured it at 34.1 mm, which provides more than enough cushioning for any runner.

In the forefoot, the shoe seems too thin for our liking, measuring at only 21.5 mm and that includes the insole and the outsole. We would have preferred a bit more foam.

Drop

The difference between the heel and the forefoot results in a 12.6-mm heel-to-toe drop, which is pretty close to the measurement stated by brooks Running (12 mm).

This design feature makes the shoe particularly well-suited for heel strikers, which is exactly what we expected from a stability daily trainer.

Midsole softness

Note: a low durometer measurement equals a soft material, whereas a high measurement means it's firm.

The midsole of the shoe is made entirely from DNA Loft v2, the same compound that brooks Running uses in the popular Ghost 15.

This is a reliable midsole, providing a good balance between softness and stability. When we measured it, the result was 19.5 HA, a figure that really iniciados its well-balanced approach.

That's a 41.7% increase over the room temperature reading, which is a disappointing result.

Even so, we can't say we were surprised. DNA Loft v2 is an EVA foam, and this type of foam tends to become really firm in cold temperatures. We've explained this in an brooks Running england Τσάντες Μπαγκαζιέρες.

Stability

We utilised the Dremel for one final test, and the outsole of the Selim brooks Running England B17 S Imperial castanho mulher performed well.

Once the test was complete, we measured 0.67-mm indentation in the rubber—an okay outcome. On average, we get a deeper dent in running shoes.  

Lateral stability test

As "GTS" comes from "Go To Stability", brooks Running is already signalling to us that this is a shoe oriented towards that goal. But we don't really know this until we test it. Fortunately, we can confirm that this is indeed a very stable shoe.

It will suit 9 out of 10 runners looking for more stability. However, those who have extreme levels of pronation will be better off with a firmer and stiffer shoe like the mens brooks Running hightail 3 split short.

Torsional rigidity

We rated the torsional rigidity of the GTS 23 at 4 out of 5, and that's enough to deliver a stable ride.

zapatillas de running brooks Running talla 37.5 amarillas mejor valoradas guiderails

Most of this rigidity comes from Brooks' GuideRails technology, a common feature in their stability shoes. These plastic pieces are smartly integrated into both sides of the shoe surrounding the heel, providing support by keeping excess movements in check.

Heel counter Caldera

According to what the textbook says, a stability shoe must have a stiff heel counter. Here again, brooks Running didn't want to go overboard with it but maintained a bit of comfort, so we rated it at 4 out of 5.

Midsole width in the forefoot

Let's keep the textbook open—if you want a stable stride, you need to have a wide landing base. Obviously, the wider the shoe, the more stable the ride, right?

That's why brooks Running made this shoe wider than most others in the forefoot. We measured it in the lab at 117.3 mm. For instance, a Nike Pegasus 40 measures only 111.3 mm.

Flexibility

Stiffness

In the pursuit of creating a shoe that's stable yet comfortable, achieving torsional Caldera is crucial, as demonstrated by the GTS 23 before. However, the shoe also needs a low score regarding longitudinal flexibility.

In our test, we find that we only need to use 17.7N of force to bend it to the 90º measurement point. This is exactly the result we were looking for.

After leaving the Selim brooks Running England B17 S Imperial castanho mulher in our freezer for 20 minutes to simulate cold temperatures, we discovered that the shoe got a little stiffer. It now requires 22.5N of force to bend to the same point. However, it almost feels the same as before.

In fact, we're looking at a 27% change, which is better than almost every other shoe on the market. This result is especially surprising for a foam based on EVA. brooks Running has really done well with this formulation.

Size and fit

Internal length

According to Brooks' sizing charts, a US size 9 should equate to 270 mm. In our measurements, we found it to be 271.5 mm, which is slightly longer than usual but not enough to recommend a size-up. For us, it's a true-to-size fit.

If you have wide feet, you might find the upper in the Selim brooks Running England B17 S Imperial castanho mulher to fit a bit like a performance shoe. However, we measured it at 99.9 mm, which is pretty standard and in line with most daily trainers.

But there's no need to worry, as brooks Running offers multiple widths, ranging from narrow to extra wide. They are one of the few brands that provide such variety.

Tongue: gusset type

Striving for a good balance between comfort and solid lockdown, the tongue of this shoe is semi-gusseted. We believe that's the right approach for this type of shoe.

Fans of padded tongues—maybe because they often experience lace bite or need to tighten the knots a lot—will find this to be an amazing shoe in that regard.

Misc

Reflective elements

Many shoes today lack reflective pieces, a feature that's unfortunately becoming less common. The GTS 23 from brooks Running does include some, but we're sincerely hoping for additional reflective elements in the next version. Come on, Brooks, what about a reflective logo?
