Adrenaline GTS 25 Running Trainers

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great shoe! Very cushy and comfortable. Took a little walk on the treadmill when I first got them, then daily wear. No sore feet. No break in time. Just great support as soon as you put them on your feet! Comfy and sleek looking.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I normally buy Glycerin GTS and I absolve those shoes. Because I need an all black shoe for work and the new Glycerin GTS doesn’t offer all black, I was forced to try these instead. I work between 12-14 hours a day and walk a lot of steps each day. I can only afford to buy one pair each year and this was it. The shoe itself is a really good shoe, that being said, this shoe is not for me. It’s mostly comfortable but tends to make my feet feel tired by the end of the day. With the Glycerin GTS my feet didn’t feel tired even wearing one year old shoes walking over 36,000 steps each day at Disney. That’s the comfort level I was looking for. While this shoe is still amazingly, it’s just not enough for me.

I wanted to love these shoes but they don’t work for me. I bought them and walked around in them for a few weeks and then all of a sudden they started causing me to have intense pain on the top of my left foot by my fourth and 5th toes…almost like it was compressing a nerve. Wearing other shoes does not bother it, it only hurts when I put these on. Maybe I should have sized up even though they felt like they fit fine and a size up felt too big. Pretty shoe but apparently don’t work for my feet.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my daughter first pair of Brooks. She loves them so much she even asked me for a second pair different color of course. Very comfortable. Fits perfectly.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been wearing Brooks Adrenaline for many years! Until now they were my absolute favorite shoe. I think they have gotten inferior to the way they used to be. I am so disappointed and will need to find a new brand.

I have been a loyal Brooks Adrenaline wearer for years, but unfortunately the Adrenaline GTS 25 (Grey/Coconut/Gold) has been a disappointment. I purchased these in May, and the gold color has already noticeably faded. I don’t wear these as my everyday shoe or for heavy activity. I mainly use them for doctor’s appointments, physical therapy, and light errands, so I expected them to hold up much better. My older pairs still look and perform better than these. The biggest issue is the heel. This is the first pair of Brooks that has caused pain around my Achilles and heel, and I even developed a blister from the rubbing. At first I thought I was imagining it, but after wearing them several times it became clear the shoe was causing the problem. When I’m not wearing Brooks, I’m usually in Crocs, so I know the irritation is coming from this pair. Another frustration is the shoelaces. They seem shorter than previous versions. If you lace the shoes using the top eyelets for a more secure fit, there is barely enough lace left to tie them comfortably, making that feature almost unusable. I’ve always trusted the Adrenaline line, especially the GTS 22, which remains my favorite. Unfortunately, the GTS 25 feels like a step backward in comfort, fit, and overall quality. I ended up returning them because they simply didn’t work for me.
