ForeverRun Nitro 1

Yes, for most runners it fits true to size, so order your usual number. The fit is secure and slightly snug rather than roomy, with a medium-width toe box and excellent midfoot and heel lockdown. Runners with wider feet or high-volume forefeet may find it tight and could consider going up half a size. If you are between sizes or have a broad forefoot, try it on first, as the secure fit is central to how the shoe supports you.

It is a strong choice for marathon training miles rather than race day itself. The plush NITRO cushioning and stable, planted platform protect your legs over long steady runs, and the shoe holds up well deep into a session. At 274g it is too heavy for a race or fast workouts, so most runners pair it with a lighter shoe for speed. As a durable, supportive workhorse for building weekly mileage, it does the job very well.

Yes, it suits beginners who need stability, especially if you overpronate or are on the heavier side. The support is built in naturally, so it guides your stride without feeling like a brace, and the generous cushioning is forgiving while you build fitness. The main caveats are the weight and price, so if you want something lighter and cheaper to start with, a neutral trainer like the Puma Velocity Nitro is worth considering first.

Both are supportive daily trainers, but they guide the foot differently. The Brooks Adrenaline GTS uses a more traditional guided-support system that some runners feel more directly, while the ForeverRun Nitro builds stability into a wide base and structured chassis for a more natural feel. The Puma is the plusher, more protective of the two, and the Brooks is a touch lighter and more everyday-versatile. Severe overpronators may prefer the Brooks, while runners wanting soft, planted comfort lean Puma.

Durability is one of its strengths. The dense NITRO midsole resists packing out, the outsole rubber is hard-wearing, and the structured upper holds up to heavy use, so it is built to absorb serious weekly mileage. That robustness is part of why it weighs 274g. For runners who want a stability trainer that lasts a long training block without going soft, it is a dependable, long-lasting option that justifies its £150 price over time.

It is not built for speed. The weight and firm, planted ride make it feel sluggish when you try to pick up the pace, and there is little spring at toe-off. It is happiest at easy and steady efforts where its cushioning and stability shine. If you want one shoe that covers both long runs and the occasional tempo, you would be better with a lighter, more responsive trainer and keeping the ForeverRun for your easy days.
