Simply put, GTS stands for Go-To-Support. Support can mean different things depending on how it’s discussed, so let’s run through what we mean at Brooks when we say support.
GuideRails™ support system is built into the footwear midsole and revolutionizes traditional stability technology found in running shoes. Delivering on-demand support, GuideRails™ allow your hips, knees, and joints to move within their unique motion path while you run – all without traditional posts.
This innovative new form of stability doesn't "correct" your stride. Instead, it assists your body in finding its natural path, or Run Signature.
How It Works:
A good way to think about how GuideRails™ works is to picture a bobsled track. As the bobsled rockets down the icy course, the crew works to guide it down the "line" – the ideal path through the course. The fastest times are achieved when the sledge glides effortlessly down the course with limited side-to-side movement.
Now, let’s apply this to the runner:
Much like the bobsled, runners perform best when they stay within their personal "line" – what we like to call their Natural Habitual Joint Motion. GuideRails™ are designed to do just this – help runners maintain the most efficient and natural motion throughout the run.
