[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First and foremost, the fit of these shoes is incredible. Straight out of the box, they felt like they had been molded to my feet, and I was thoroughly impressed. After putting some miles on them, they’ve only gotten better. I prefer a wider shoe and these manage to provide the perfect amount of room without feeling loose. I’ve also been really impressed with how well they’ve performed in the cold/rainy weather we’ve had. The traction is excellent, and they don’t soak up water like other shoes I’ve owned. The quality is on par with everything else I’ve used from Brooks, so I fully expect these to last a long time!
Definitely noticed the improvements, feels less like a road shoe and more born for the trails which is exactly what I was looking for. My favourite road shoe but capable of getting wet and muddy! Did I mention Snow haha, kept my toes from frost bite for those 3hrs.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We received these shoes for my husband. He recently started running. He noted that these shoes are very comfortable and have a decent fit. He especially enjoys how lightweight they are on his feet. He noted that he often forgets he is wearing them. He has seen an improvement in his soreness since wearing these shoes during his running sessions and casual activities while wearing them. He enjoys the mesh fabric, style, and colors. They aren’t too flashy, they look sharp, and they get the job done! Overall these are an excellent product for the casual or periodic runner.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband is so happy with the Adrenaline GTS weatherized. They fit true to size and they are light weight. The best part is wearing them in the cold and rainy weather has just enhanced his enjoyment of these shoes. The shoes are so comfortable they don’t need a break in period between running and wearing them to Disneyland he has thoroughly enjoyed them and his feet have been left blister free. He is normally not a huge fan of all black shoes but these take the cake because they look nice on and with the comfort they are perfect. He said if he would have give any feedback he would make them in more colors. He looks forward to running in them on the streets and at the gym daily. They are a great buy and I would definitely recommend them. He can’t wait to wear them to Disneyworld soon!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I started wearing these shoes to train for a half marathon. They have been so comfortable and provide great support - I need shoes with arch support, and after my longer runs, my feet have never been sore. I also wear these shoes for 12-hour shifts at work and my feet feel great after being on my feet for so long. I have recommended these to my friends and coworkers because of how comfortable they are.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These feel like running on a cloud! With running as much as I do, it’s nice to have a little added cushion and arch support to help support me through the long miles. I run on pavement often and typically it makes my knees hurt, but with these shoes the added cushion really adds an element of protection! They’ve got great traction so when the snowy weather finally hits, I will be all set up!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Brooks Adrenaline GTS 24 Weatherized is a solid update to their popular weather-resistant running shoes. It provides excellent stability and cushioning, delivering a plush yet responsive feel. The shoe fits true to size, and despite having somewhat wide feet, I found it comfortable with plenty of space in the toe box, which is typically a problem area for me. The water-resistant upper kept my feet dry in light rain, with water beading off right out of the box. However, I did notice that the padding around the heel feels shorter than expected, leaving more of your sock exposed, which could result in your foot getting wet in moderate to heavy rain. I’ve mostly used these shoes for shorter runs (5K), and they’ve been comfortable throughout. I'm confident they'll perform just as well on longer runs. Overall, the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 24 Weatherized combines comfort, stability, and weather protection, making it an excellent choice for year-round running.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The best thing about the shoe is how soft it is to run on and the cushioning on the inside. My foot never felt sore wearing these for hours on end. However, that is where the good qualities about the shoe end. Even though the shoe was the perfect size, whenever I would bring my foot forward, my foot constantly felt like it was going to come out of the shoe. I could never get it snug enough to make the foot feel secure without making it overly compressed. I tried different alive techniques and sock types, but nothing worked. Furthermore, the heel drop at 12mm is a lot. I typically run with 4mm or less, but hike in 8mm, so I did not think 12mm would be that much different. I was wrong. The 12mm drop, combined with my foot not feeling secure caused walking/running downhill unpleasant, and somewhat painful on my knees. I think if the drop was a little less or my foot was more secure, this wouldn’t be an issue. Going up hill was no issue though. The black with neon highlights are simple, but inoffensive, so won’t knock it for that.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Adrenaline GTS 24 Weatherized running shoe is the most comfortable yet sturdy shoe that I have worn. Dependable and stylish, the Adrenaline GTS 24 is the perfect shoe for intense workouts or casual wearing for going about your day to day. It fits true to size and doesn't take effort to slip on or off. It conforms to your feet to the point where you wouldn't know you were wearing a high quality shoe. Stylistically, you are going to stand out. Simple but, jarring; people will want to know what you're wearing. The durable fabric is tough and will hold up in even the harshest of conditions. The Adrenaline GTS 24 can be put through the paces and will get you through the toughest of obstacles. Overall, the Adrenaline GTS 24 Weatherized shoe is the most comfortable and durable shoe I have worn.
Much better than the regular Adrenaline 24s. The improved traction, stiffer weatherproof materials and more cushioning on the inside make this feel much better than the normal 24’s. Even if you don’t need the weatherproof aspect of the shoes. I believe these are a more comfortable and better made shoe from the second you put it on. If you were a fan of previous versions of the adrenaline line, this one is more akin to those.
