Customer Reviews Brooks Adrenaline GTS 25

I've been wearing the Adrenaline line for over five years. Other than GTS 24 (which I did not like at all!), I have been pleased with the Brooks line. GTS 25 has more cushion and a bit of a bouncier feel, in a good way. The ankle area feels a bit loose to me, so I have to lace up through the heel lock, which is okay, but it does take me longer to get into the shoe as the full lacing make the shoe opening a bit smaller. I only wear these shoes to the gym and they are terrific on the weight floor and the treadmill, but the heel is fairly large and does not fit well inside the rower foot plate. The shoe color options for the wide width women's shoe stinks. Come on Brooks, if you're reading this, do better. And maybe bring back GTS 23! Overall , I do like the shoe and recommend it.

I usually order a half size up in the adrenaline. That's what I did this time and fit was perfect. My only complaint is that I wish there were more styles in the wide width.

This is, in my opinion, an outstanding pair of athletic shoes! The fit on my narrow feet (I got the narrow size) is just right. They are a little more padded than the 24 but still better at stability. These are my new favorites, edging out my ASICS, New Balances, and other Brooks pairs. I had plenty of room to insert my orthotic insole without sizing up. Love the color, too. Thank goodness, I didn’t have to buy black again because I require narrow sizes.

I’ve worn Adrenalines for years and loved them all until I got into the 20s. . I couldn’t wear the 22s (orthotic didn’t fit), skipped the 24s based on the reviews, and after the great 23s decided to try the 25s. They are awful. It was like walking on marshmallows. I returned them and will have to find something else. They felt like completely different shoes, not the supportive, firm, amazing Adrenalines of old. And the price went up!

I have been a diehard Brooks fan since an ACL repair / PT. And while I’ve liked the various styles, this has been my favorite so far. I recently developed plantar fasciitis and I’ve been in there 24/7. They have made such a difference. Love these!

What great shoes these are! I absolutely love the feature added to the back of the shoe which makes it so easy to pull the shoes on. The arch support is wonderful, the soles are great (and I was a little worried as they are so creatively made) and the color is BEAUTIFUL! Thank you so much Brooks for the terrific update on the Adrenaline that I've been wearing for years! Better than ever!

I have been wearing my new Brooks Adrenaline GTS 25 about a month now and have to say I am disappointed in them. They are somewhat wide in the toe box which is good for me. The problem is they are so spongy feeling I have lost that good, stable support I loved about previous versions of this shoe. That sponginess may be great for runners but for this senior citizen with two knee replacements not so good. I have been wearing this style for several years and own multiple pair that have been great in the past. I will be looking for different walking shoes.

I've been wearing Brooks for over 10 years. 12 narrow. The last three versions of the Adrenaline have been going downhill. The last two versions, I couldn't even wear and had to return them. Toe box is way too narrow in comparison to previous versions. Quality of shoe has gone downhill also. I have 8 year old Brooks that I wear for yard work and they have more arch support in them than the GTS23's that I have. Brooks has lost their way trying to keep up with fashion vs function.

Love Brooks. This model runs slightly larger and wider than others.

Can we get the GTS 23 design back? This was better than the 24 but I hate the new DNA cushion. It takes away the stability of the original shoe and the entire reason I loved them.

I waited to review these until I had worn them through all the hills of Lisbon and now that I’m home I can confirm - most comfortable “wear all day” shoes I’ve ever had. I struggle finding good looking well fitting shoes for my bunions and plantar fasciitis but these are little miracles. I am buying another pair to have on deck when I wear out the first ones.

Pretty sneaker but not enough toe room at the tapered top -that feature helps shoes look less like clown shoes-am keeping these until a larger size arrives to see if my toes feel less scrunched . I put my own orthotics in which made shoe much more comfortable. I like that the soles of these were not those sky high white foam things.

I have a pair of these, and I HATE them. I have been wearing Brooks Adrenaline for years. These feel a LOT SMALLER and narrower than all of my previous pairs. I will NEVER buy Brooks again!

Fit was great! Good for my over pronation.

Nice shoe but I have knee and foot issues . Cushiony . I need a more deep stable heel cup . My one ankle tilted to the side in these which caused knee pain . It’s just not a good shoe for me .

Compared to other Brooks, it felt 1/4 to 1/2 inch longer. Otherwise very similar in fit to my other Brooks shoes. Good amount of cushion.

I have been wearing Brooks for YEARS! I mostly gravitated to the brand because of the availability of extra wide. These shoes have definitely surpassed previous models. I work for a big box company and stand on cement floors for all of my shifts. I just wish they would offer more color options.

Great shoes. Comfortable with good arch support. You can remove insert and put in your own custom orthotics.

This was weird. Ordered the same shoe, but in a different color, and the shoe was too small. Reordering in the larger size, but there is something definitely wrong with quality control within the same shoe line.

This brooks sneaker is completely different from all others. Very odd elasticity around the inner rear section and the tongue. Didn’t like the fit. Very narrow despite saying wide width.

I am a long-term Ghost wearer because of their toe box and support. I have had plantar fasciaitis, a couple of foot surgeries, and I work on my feet all day. However, the newest rendition of the Ghost narrowed the toe box and the cushion seems harder/flatter. I saw the reviews for these and gave it a try. OMG! They are so much more supportive than Ghost. I LOVE them! I think I am permanently switching from Ghost to Adrenaline GTS.

they fit my feet well and helps to keep me from pronating. They are very comfortable.

I ordered a size larger than my usual. I'm thinking that I may be moving into a larger size in my older age. The shoe is very comfortable. Gives m good support and hopefully will help resolve my sciatica.
