Today we’re checking out what is rated as the best ‘All Rounder’ running shoe – a shoe that can support you in a variety of environments. In fact, Brooks say that ‘GTS’ stands for ‘Go To Shoe’.
Now, we know that most of us consider this job as exercise in itself, and we would join you in that! It’s just that with running shoes, there seems to be one for everything, we thought it would be a good idea to offer the best rated shoe that can handle a variety of surfaces as there will be many of us who find themselves working in a variety of environments. As the saying goes “One glove does not fit all” in this case, it’s a shoe…!
So, how does this shoe do what it does in being able to handle different surfaces, and keep you on track? Brooks, a dedicated running shoe based in the UK, have developed various technologies that help it do just that, so lets just go through them.

Brooks, one of the finest running shoe manufacturers around, have developed a simple yet effective means of aiding your foot to stay aligned correctly in the form of pieces of firmer foam on each side of the heel area – that which is on the inner part of the shoe reduces the roll of the foot towards the big toe. The other on the outer side is a little firmer, keeping your heel in check and ensuring as smooth and straight a roll of the foot as possible. The idea behind this is to align your foot and knee movement, ensuring that your knee (the most complex joint in our bodies) support isn’t compromised and so not put unnecessary strain on the muscles and ligaments that support it’s working.

Brooks have developed foam that is super soft yet supportive – they’ve packed it into the base of the heel area, which gets the bulk of your body weight with each stride. They’ve also encased the outer edge of the heel area with it, with it then providing soft support down into the rest of the sole. You can even wear these shoes with a good eco-conscience - it’s even bio-degradable!
