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.
[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.
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.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently got into running. I've slowly worked my way up to running not just on a treadmill, but out and about in my town in preparation for some casual marathons this upcoming year. I have found that wearing proper shoes are essential. But, I never imagined just how helpful they could truly be. These shoes fit perfectly allowing room for breathing, but not sliding around inside as I run. The shape of the shoes really add a spring in your step and make each stride smooth and feel like there's low impact from running on concrete. I love the extra pep it puts into my step! Plus they are super cute!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been wearing Brooks Adrenaline GTS for close to 15 years, and nothing else compares. I tend to roll my foot as I run, and these shoes consistently give me the stability and balance my stride needs. Every time I’ve tried another brand, I end up coming right back to the Adrenaline GTS. The newest model is my favorite yet. The added loop at the heel is such a simple feature, but it makes slipping the shoes on so much easier. After all these years, the Adrenaline GTS still delivers exactly what I need — comfort, support, and reliability.
The colors and patterns are fun, but these are definitely the worse pair of adrenaline I have purchased, they do not need to be so thick at the sole, go back to the adrenaline 23 those were the best. I have always had hip and foot issue and adrenaline was my go to pair I could count on but this version caused pain within 20 mins of wearing the shoes. I'm a nurse and I depend on comfortable shoes, If i wanted thick shoes/soles, I would buy Hokas, so please go back to the previous versions. Brooks you can play with the pattern and color of the shoe but you don't have to completely change the version of the shoe.
