Customer Reviews Brooks Adrenaline GTS 25

The extra wide was just wider than I thought it would be ~ the wide option ended up better choice.

I loved the look and really wanted to love these on my feet. My right foot felt great but my left foot was getting irritated by the back of the shoe where the extra support is. I ordered my normal 8.5 med width. When the left foot felt a bit tight in the heal area I order the 1/2 size bigger to size 9. When I got them I felt this size was a bit large and decided to send them both back. I am very sad that I had to return them because I really loved the look and the right foot felt great.

Returning because they make me over pronate. I don’t over pronate when I’m barefoot, but it was very noticeable with these shoes.

I'm returning due to the odd cushioning in the ankle. I can feel it and worried that it will rub and cause a blister. Really wish the heel area had the cushion spread out because the rest of the shoe felt great. I ordered wide and felt like my toes had enough room but rest of shoe was snug.

Shoes uncomfortable-very little cushion. Really tight width -wise.

These sneakers have a wide toe box that reduce the stability for my average sized foot. The sole is all foam with some grip pads on the bottom and the shoe is light as a feather. The sneaker doesn't feel or look like it is worth the price. It is similar to a sneaker made for TJMaxx, maybe a little nicer. My old Hokas feel better. The cushioning just isn't there for me either. I bought these because people raved about the 24s being great for relieving plantar fasciitis. I can feel the slate floor in these when I walk. They are going back.

I love the look of the shoes. But I have a heel spur on the right foot. Love my Adrenaline 24's but the 25 seems to curve in at the heel, pressing on that heel spur. I love the look and they feel great on my left foot. But my right heel can't handle that pressing in. Sadly, I'm returning them.

I bought this shoe to replace my Brooks 2020 Ariel as advised by Zappos. It is nothing like the Ariel that was terrific. Fortunately, i bought up what I could find of those online. Great for overpronation. I do not like the shape of the front of the shoe either strange shape.

The Brooks Adrenaline GTS 24 in 6 D fits perfect with my orthotics. I had to send back the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 25 in 6 D as I was walking out of it with my orthotics. Definitely runs larger than the GTS 24.

I’ve worn Adrenaline shoes for years. I’m a high school administrator and they are typically the only shoes I can wear when I have to stand a lot that don’t make my feet, knees, and hips hurt. They have been my go to shoes for years. However the new 25s aren’t made the same. They fit is much longer and wider even after returning and reaching for a smaller size. They are spongier than the older models and feel much less supportive. They also seem to put more weight on my heels rather than distributing the weight evenly. I’m not sure I’ll wear this pair again which is a shame considering the amount of money I spent.

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.

My Arch could not reach lip to tie shoe laces, this shoe is fine for with but right foot ankle stabilizer overall to tight, not like my new balance fuel cell that fits my size properly 7 ww.

Beware major overhaul. I've worn Adrenalines exclusively for decades. The GTS 25 feels like a completely different shoe. Very narrow toe box and wide heel. Overly clunky like a Hoka on steroids but not in a good way (for me). Many seem to enjoy this model but mine went straight back and I'm on the lookout for a new go-to.

If you liked the 24s you will not like the 25s. They changed the model significantly this year and while it looks better, it is a total different feel and not in a good way. The heel no longer comes in contact with the ground and is too loose around that area in general. What I loved about the 24s was how planted I felt while walking. The 25s get rid of that feeling and sacrifice stability for looks.

Too short and not enough support

79 years old. Size 5 1/2 in regular shoes, 6 1/2 in Brooks is fine. I just can’t get used to the current bulky style. I feel like I’m wearing boxes filled with packing material. Tried a few different color combinations to see if anything would work for me. No luck. Used to run. Now I walk 3-4 miles/day. Fortunately I have 3 old pairs of shoes that will suffice until style changes.

I was not happy with anything about this shoe except the color. I have worn an 8.5 M for 40 years and that is what I bought. Unfortunately, this shoe does not fit the norm of 8.5 M, not even for the "Brooks" brand 8.5M. My toes were so close to the end of the shoe they hurt. There was no arch support whatsoever and the comfort was a 1-2, not very cushy at all. I am not sure if a 9 would work or if I needed a 9.5, which I have never worn. The width wasn't terribly tight, but being a usual Medium, I might try a 9 Medium next time. I will not be rebuying or exchangeing this particular shoe.

These are just ugly on my foot. It looks like I'm wearing a covered horseshoe. Plus they're hard, as if there's no cushioning at all.

Physical changes to shoe design cause calf cramps and severe pain to my inside tendon with my custom orthotics.
