Support Guide
Neutral
Brooks shoes that are designated “neutral” are designed to deliver comfort and durability for a neutral stride — one that doesn’t need additional support.
Support
Brooks shoes with the “GTS” designation feature our Go-To-Support, which helps keep runners in their natural stride, even when they tire. Think of bumpers in a bowling lane!
Maximum Support
To provide maximum support, we pair our go-to-support (GTS) with additional features such as an extra wide base to enhance stability.
Not sure if you need support?
Use the questions below or complete the self-assessment in our 5-minute Shoe Finder Quiz.
You may benefit from extra support if:
- Your knees move inward or touch when you do a simple squat
- You frequently get the same injury
- You pronate or supinate
- Your toes point in or out when you walk

Non Runner with Mid-foot arthritis
I have mid-foot arthritis in both of my feet. I was advised by my doctor to wear carbon plate shoes. I bought a pair of both the Catamount 3 &4 shoes for daily all around wear. They provide comfortable support for my feet without the stacked bouncy cushioning that another brand of carbon plate shoes that I also bought. The tongue of the 4s is very thin in comparison to the 3s. So far I’m very satisfied. I’m hoping Brooks will develop a cold weather version for winter wear.

I like 'em
I owned 3 pairs of the 2's, skipped the 3, and now have 60 miles on the 4. This is a fun shoe for pushing tempo on single track, and a tad softer under foot than the 2's. Historically, I get about 600 miles on Catamounts. I expect I will be buying another pair by August.

So far I’ve put on 60 snowy trail miles with them and I’m running happy! Very comfortable. Definitely want to see more colors. I will be using them for my upcoming ultra in May.

New go to shoe
Brooks Women's Catamount 4 shoes are ones that are must have for any avid runner. They have the unsurpassed comfort of Brooks but with added stability and support. They are true to size and have exceeded my expectations. The design is more modern and color choices are vibrant and fun. The fabric is breathable and very comfortable. When laced the shoe comfortably hugs your foot. No pressure excessive pressure points which makes wearing these for hours very easy to do. Great shoe and is now my go to for running and daily exercise!

Finally running trails in winter
I have logged a few thousand road miles on plated road shoes, and a few hundred easy trail miles in the summer in my Brooks Ghost shoes. These are my first plated trail runners. I haven't run trails in the winter, but the grip on these gave me enough confidence to try it out. Having now run about 50 miles in a variety of winter trails, my only regret is not doing this sooner.
The size and fit are consistent with my other Brooks shoes. I like the roomy toe box in Brooks and these don't disappoint. They have a very secure fit around the mid foot. They are remarkably light for trail runners. My size 12 weighs 11oz, which is only slightly heavier than my Brooks Ghosts. Yet they have both better cushioning and much better grip.
The dark teal-blue colorway with the bright orange band is quite attractive. The fabric is breathable and remains comfortable during long runs. Being 200lb, I was concerned about the durability of plated trail runners, but I've used these enough now that I don't think it's a concern. The energy return is excellent, even at my moderate pace.
Overall I can't find much to complain about. The only thing I missed versus previous trail runs is the slightly muted terrain feel. But given the cushioning, grip and energy return, I think it's more than a fair trade off. I would highly recommend these for trail runs.

New favorite shoes
These are my new favorite shoes. I love them. I have tried other similar products in the past and these Catamount sneakers really stand out.
First, they look fantastic. The colors are vibrant and bold, and also very pleasing to the eye. The blue-green color is so nice and goes with a wide variety of colors for clothing.
The fit is superb. True to size, comfortable, with plenty of room to move toes without any heel slippage. They are cushioned and sturdy, with good support.
Even though these are trail shoes, I am in a job where I am on my feet all day in a hospital, and these have felt wonderful at work. The cushion is great, and if I have to run or move quickly to a situation, the traction is excellent. Thus, I use them for multiple purposes.
The shoes are very comfortable, supportive and stylish. They are great for walking and running. The grip of the bottom leads to a feeling of security while running or walking on slippery or uneven ground. We live in an area with ice and sleet and this helps even with walking the kids to school. I like the style and look. The colors are fun. All around fantastic shoe. I would not change anything.

Perfect trail shoes for ultramarathon training
Trail shoes and I have a complicated relationship—As an ultramarathoner, I’m picky, they’re usually disappointing, and it’s rare to find a pair that doesn’t ghost me after the first muddy run. But the Brooks Catamount 4? These shoes might just be “the one.”
First off, they fit true to size, which means I didn’t have to play Cinderella with six different sizes. Out on the trails, they were like a trusty hiking buddy—grippy enough to handle mud and snow without face-planting, but not so aggressive that walking on flat surfaces felt like a punishment. The soles are Goldilocks perfect.
The fabric? It does the trick. It wicks moisture and dries so fast it’s like it forgot it was wet in the first place. Plus, the dark color scheme hides the shame of your muddy adventures, while the orange soles are perfect for saying, “I’m here, don’t run me over.”
My only gripe? The laces. I’d much prefer regular laces that don’t require a PhD in knot-tying.
All in all, these shoes made me feel like I could conquer the trails without slipping, soaking, or sulking. 10/10, would recommend—just bring a pair of new laces.

Versatile shoe for trail running
I’ve been running in the Catamount 4s on local trails for the last month and I definitely enjoy running in them. The shoes feel comfortable on long runs, and fit well when using the heel locks to lace them up.
The tread is medium grippy. On my local trail, there are some steep sections that are usually slippery when coming down with a typical running shoe. When wearing the Catamounts I felt very secure. I decided to try them out on some areas where I usually don’t descend and they did well on those too. On one of the runs, I tried to go downhill through a damp grassy section and the shoes were able to grip without any loss of traction.
The cushioning was enough to really dampen out any feeling of running on woodchips and small rocks. Even on rough terrain the cushioning is enough that it doesn’t greatly affect my ability to run.
As a more heavy-set runner, I appreciate that these shoes have kept my knees free from pain. I can’t put my finger on what Brooks does, but the ergonomics of the shoe definitely has been noticeable in reducing pain in my knees when compared to some other shoes. Even after some longer runs my knees and ankles are pain free allowing me to get more running in.
The upper fabric of the shoe is breathable and feels very comfortable. The color scheme looks cool, but not overly aggressive. I think they look very stylish. I like the laces too which are a thinner design that seems to hold knots a little better.
The only thing I would change on these shoes would be to increase the lace length by about an extra inch on each side so that it’s easier to tie the shoes on when using heel locks. When not using heel locks, the shoe can ride up and down on my heel which is less comfortable.
Overall, I definitely like these shoes. My knees are happy and the footing is secure on uneven terrain. I am recommending these to my friends.

Perfect All-Terrain Shoe!
The Brooks Catamount 4 has several features that make this shoe great for true all-terrain running.
Starting with the breathable mesh uppers, the material used has held up really well and seems very durable. In a couple runs so far, no fraying fibers visible as these shoes still look brand new!
I navigate paved roads on the way to the local trail system and the tread on the outsole responds perfectly to both conditions. Some trail shoes feel like trail shoes, where the traction can almost feel like you’re wearing cleats - not these! The nubs offer good traction in all-terrains, even in wet or dry surfaces.
For the feel inside, the cushioning is comfortable, supportive, and feels premium - which is what I’ve come to expect from a traditional Brooks’ product!
Overall, I have been very happy with these shoes and would recommend to all trail runners! This pair of Brooks shoes fits true to size and is consistent with all other previous pairs of Brooks I’ve owned, another kudos to the brand!
