With a fusion & plate in my rt foot, new orthotics & walking 5km a day, all prior shoes pale in comparison to my new Brooks GTS 25's!! 2 pairs!! Love them! Absolute bliss with fantastic cushioned soles, material that breathes &, for once, great width at the front to accomodate orthotics & space. It's the perfect fit all round! Thanks so much designers!!
I have been walking daily (5-10 miles) for about 30 years. As I often walk on asphalt, the soles of my feet decided they wanted a bit of cushion. I also have bunions and too many walking shoes have a narrow toe box. I ordered my normal size in the Adrenaline GTS 25 in a wide width. They feel like a dream! They are roomy and stretchy in the front, but cup my heel with no slippage in the back. The cushioned sole feels stable and doesn’t affect my gait. They are a streamlined looking shoe. The only negative is, if I really had wide feet, the laces would be too short.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have had these for a few weeks now and loving them, They are more cushioned than the GTS 24's, they feel a bit like walking on clouds and give you a nice spring when running. I find these ones a bit more comfortable compared to the GTS 24's and 23's. I also really like the new heel tab which is helpful for pulling them on. The support is great and it feels like it's hugging my feet without strangling them. I'm a women's US 8.5 and the fit is spot on with previous versions.
I’ve been really happy with this product. It works exactly as described, feels well‑made and durable, and gives great results every time. The price is very fair for what you get, and it’s made my daily routine so much easier. I’d definitely recommend it to family and friends. It’s a great purchase all round!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have told ALL my friends and also got my husband a pair of these shoes. Also talked my Doctor into getting a pair and he loves them and now got a second pair. They have made all the difference with my pain! I never knew how much shoes could make a difference. If you are on the fence, let this be your sign to get Brooks shoes. Your body will thank you 🙏 Everyone tells me I should be a spokesperson for the company because I can’t quit telling ppl about them. That’s how much of a difference they have made for me. I am an avid outdoors hiker. Just got back from a 10 day hike. Usually I would have so much knee pain, and swollen feet. NO MORE! Thanks Brooks!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently received the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 25 and have been wearing them while preparing for an upcoming marathon. So far, I’m really impressed. The shoes feel comfortable right out of the box, with a great balance of cushioning and support. They provide a stable and controlled ride, which is especially helpful for me as someone with flat feet. I also like how well they fit—secure but not too tight. Overall, I’m very happy with this purchase and feel confident continuing my marathon training in them. Highly recommended!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very hard on my shoes. I walk 6 miles/day, every day, no matter what the weather it like. I have had multiple foot surgeries and have moderately severe bunions. I wear a women’s 12W! It was a nightmare trying to find shoes. Until I found Brooks. I thought my Ghost 16s were great….until I found the Ghost 17s. Superb shoes, I now own 2 pair. I decided to try the Adrenaline GTS 25 and am very pleased. The shoe is roomy…the toe box wide like the Ghost 17. The DNA LOFT soles are plush and have a bouncy feel. The shoe is light weight and supportive, which is extremely important after my surgeries. Wore them out of the box.
[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.
Very frustrated with the new design of the 25s. Adrenaline GTS has been my go-to for ten years with no trouble until now. I ordered my usual size, and no amount of adjustment of the laces kept the heel from rubbing against the insides of my heels. The padding around the heel seems lower because of the new suede lip around the opening, and forms a prominent ledge that catches my heel as I move. Below the padding, the heel feels too wide or deep. Have never had heel slip problems before this design. (Also do not love the new puffy look of the foam around the sole, but fit was main issue.) I had to return these.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes are the perfect mix of “I’ve got you” stability and “let’s float a little” cushion. The support keeps everything in line, and as an over pronater, I appreciate that. The guide rails give me steady strides from start to finish. And the cushion? Much better improvement over last years version. Definitely soft enough to keep your feet happy, but still responsive when you decide halfway through you’re suddenly a sprinter. Bottom line: Whether you’re chasing a PR or just chasing the post-race cocktail, these shoes will carry you there comfortably, confidently, and maybe even a little faster.
