Most comfortable shoe for my foot. I practically live in these and even have a pair that are only ever worn inside my house.
I'm glad to see that a lot of others who reviewed the Adrenaline GTS 24 felt the same about 23 being much better. I alternated between two pairs of 23s and they lasted me a little over a year since I am always on my feet for work. I bought a 24 earlier this year to replace my worn 23's. They worked on me for a couple of months, but then I started to feel a strain on my foot a couple of weeks ago. I thought it was my socks, but the strain was instantly relieved after removing the shoes with my socks still on. After recovering from the strain, the 24's still feel comfortable but I cannot walk in them for as long as I used to in the 23's. Really sad about this. I hope they bring back the make of the 23.
I am used to wearing Ghost and thought I would try Adrenaline knowing full well they have more support. The toe box is shallower, initially causing some pressure on my big toe. The tongue over the dorsum of the foot was also very tight. I ended up having to change the lacing pattern 3 times before the shoes were wearable for longer than 10 minutes. The soles felt very hard with no shock absorption whatsoever. I tried them for 3 weeks but they made my feet tired, I was not happy. This season it has been difficult finding a color option that suited my needs. Been spoiled by the lovely Ghost blue ‘camo’ design with black soles. Has to return the shoes for refund.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Adrenaline GTS 24 has become my new go-to sneaker for running and everyday use! This is the first time I've worn a sneaker from Brooks and I'm so glad I gave these a try! I have flat feet and normally grab insoles to put in my sneakers, but not with these! These offer the best arch support that I’ve ever experienced! The fit of this sneaker is spot-on perfect and the comfort is impeccable and makes me feel like I’m walking in clouds! Adrenaline gts24 is crafted beautifully, and the fabric holds so incredibly well! I adore the design of the shoe, and it’s easy to pair with most neutrals. There’s nothing I would change about these sneakers. I would buy them again and again!!
Love the new adrenaline GTS. Comfort and style in one, and love the black colourway, as it goes with everything. Got these for my regular walking, but have ended up wearing them regularly for my marathon long distance prep runs and super comfortable and surprisingly light. These run small though, I had to size up half a size from my normal in brooks and other brands.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've just recently gotten back into jogging after several years and wanted to invest in a high-quality running shoe. I am mainly running on a treadmill and have found these new Brooks Adrenaline GTSs to be very supportive and comfortable. They are very springy and the fabric is breathable. I love the simple/classic style of the shoe. Initially thought the heel cushion was too firm/tight but now I really like it and it adds stability to my heel. I've had Achilles tendonitis in the past and that hasn't been a problem with these new shoes. Looking forward to logging lots of miles with these.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm really enjoying these shoes! Though it fits slightly snug, it still has a great fit to it and has felt comfortable despite all day wear, including time on the treadmill. The cushioning of them make my feet feel like normal after taking them off, instead of feeling achy or tired. I am a minimalist, so I really appreciate the simple design and colors - it makes it versatile and easy to wear casually like with jeans and when working out in athletic outfits. The only thing I would change is the standard laces - I did buy my own laces (a little longer and a tighter elasticity) as the standard ones that come on them felt lower quality compared to the shoes themselves. Overall, I would purchase again!
Coming out of the Adrenaline GTS 23, I thought I'd try the latest Ghost series shoe. Big mistake. It was way too short/tight in the toebox -- even though I went up 1/2 size (which I do for most athletic shoes). So I went back to the Adrenaline GTS 24... and I love it! More room in the toebox than the Adrenaline GTS 23 and more cushioning in the heel; it's a tad less supportive on the sides, but it's negligible. Only annoyance is that the shoelaces are significantly shorter on the 24 series, so I get frustrated putting them on. Hoping they stretch out with wear. Overall, a great and comfortable running/workout shoe... I recommend sizing up 1/2.
Highly disappointed! Something has changed with the newer version. I have always swore by Brooks Adrenaline sneakers for running. I ran two marathons in them but now with the GTS 24 I can barely run 2 miles without discomfort. The first time I ran in them I had a blister and blamed it on my socks. I tried again in socks I have always run in and yet again another blister. The sneaker is even falling apart. Each time I take the sneaker off, the sole comes out with it. Whatever you have done differently, has been an utter disgrace to your sneakers. I can no longer wear this brand.
The BEST shoes known to human kind. I wore them only twice before wearing them for the full Hyrox race and you would not have known otherwise. PS, this is the 2nd pair I now own!
