Brooks Running Technology

Brooks uses a range of materials and construction techniques to create shoes that are lightweight, breathable, and flexible, helping runners to move more efficiently and comfortably. Known for their innovative technology that helps runners perform better and prevent injury. One of Brooks key technologies is DNA cushioning, which adjusts to the runner’s stride, weight, and speed to provide personalized cushioning and support. This technology helps to reduce impact and improve shock absorption, making each stride more comfortable.

Brooks has also developed is GuideRails for “motion control,” which is designed to provide extra support and stability to runners who have a tendency to overpronate. GuideRails are located on the side of the shoe and help to guide the foot into a natural and stable alignment, reducing the risk of injuries and pain.
