[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.
I have been very happy with and continue to rotate several Brooks Adrenaline shoes; which is why I bought these mostly for early morning dog walks and beach...But in only a few months and with much less use than my two other Brooks Adrenalines, these are wearing down fast on heel area- smooth and no tread. something seems defective or deficient in materials. I will return to REI where I bought them. But curious if others have experienced similar rapid deterioration.
GOOD: Great fit, they feel like they gently hug your feet. I was worried about the toebox size (read it was small) but it actually was big enough. I tend to 'raise' my toes while running, specially going downhill, but had zero issues. ISSUES: I have very flat feet, and the support is good, not stiff. But I started to run recently, and I haven't developed ankle strength yet. So it started to hurt my arches pretty soon, when my ankle muscles 'gave up. I would give them a try if you have 'mild' flat feet, or if you have been running for more than couple months and have already build up some (some!) strength in your arches.
[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.] The Adrenaline GTS 24 is quite comfortable for moderate lengths of time. However wearing them for extended periods causes quite of pain on the inside of the foot - on the bone that sticks out below and in front of the ankle bone. I have flat feet and thought the extra support would be of benefit. Not so sure now. My daughter, who has foot problems, suggested wearing the shoes for short periods at first would allow me to adjust to the new form. I am a 12-B in normal shoes and am wondering if I should have ordered one of you shoes that come in narrow - or would that make the adjustment period worse?
[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.] I am no longer a runner, but someone with a totally fused left ankle and a replacement ankle on the right (most recent, done Jan '25). I also had a left knee total replacement. Throughout all of my rehap physical therapies, I have worn Brooks Adrenaline. I had 3 different sizes as I went through various levels of foot swelling due to the surgeries. This Weatherize model is providing me with more structure and a feeling of improved support. I really like them. I just recently had told my wife that I need to add another pair. I'm almost 70 yr old but am now averaging about 6400 steps a day.
