As someone who used to be a Brooks Adrenaline regular, despite the variety of footwear I wear and test, a stability shoe is always in my arsenal. That "type" of shoe is changing radically as we redefine what stability means in the footwear world. The Strata 2 is a mixed example of this shift. It is smooth riding in the front, slightly lower drop yet has a stiff heel with a very traditional post and rigid heel. It has served as a shoe that I pull for on days I am beat up or looking to handle longer miles. Yet it has the hint of something faster that has been able to handle my increased addition of hill repeats and strides after runs. 361 is on the right track so let's talk about this.
