Customer Reviews Brooks Adrenaline GTS 19

Very, very nice shoe. I had a pair of GTS 18's in a wider width since I need a lot of toe box room. My GTS 19's I bought in medium width and the toe box was plenty big enough and the shoe didn't look so much like a boat!

Awesome shoe! Much more cushioning support and toe box room than last year’s version.

HANDS DOWN - AWESOME, SUPPORTIVE, STABILITY SHOE. I love these so much, I have TWO pairs. One for running/working out and one to wear to work (I prefer to call them my "murdered out" Brooks cause they are ALL black and look fine with dress pants). Anyway - I have a slew of musculoskeletal issues due to a chronic condition - plantar fasciitis, posterior tibial tendinitis, runner's knee, ITB issues, and general pain BUT THESE SHOES HAVE BEEN AMAZING FOR ME. I wear custom orthotics, that fit easily into the shoe, and walking and running with these sneakers have been a dream - I walked 13 miles a day in Italy with them, no issues and have been slowly increasing my miles (up to 8) pain free and I feel the shoes are a definite factor. SOME THINGS TO NOTE: Not a lot of color combo options that are "cute" in my opinion, you WILL be higher off the ground in these, so be careful if on uneven ground, the laces are a bit long, so I double knot them. These are a very structured and supportive shoe, some may call them clunky, but I like that.

Like walking on clouds. My first pair of Brooks did not disappoint. They’re amazing and such a cute print!!!

I have a torn ankle tendon and I overpronate. My doctor told me I couldn't wear hills nor flats anymore. I didn't like that because it meant I would have to replace all of my nice shoes which costs lots of money, sigh. And the thought of not being able to wear my nice summer flats was disappointing. My doctor recommended Hokas. I ordered a pair and didn't like them because of the rolling motion. I'm a loyal New Balance customer so I went with the 940v3. They are perfect, However, New Balance's colors and styles are limited. I've never worn Brooks and after reading the great reviews about the Adrenaline GTS 19, I thought I would try them. I'm glad I did!!! These shoes are more comfortable than the New Balance 940v3 and PERFECT for my foot condition. I feel like I'm walking on air. I'm going to order from Books again. Thanks, Brooks and thank you Zappos for your great customer service.

I felt they fit much better for my foot at least than the Adrenaline 18, I transitioned to Ghost 10 which I loved but the Ghost 11 not so much these are something in between and aren't too wide or to narrow and pointy in the toe box. they are a stiffer shoe but work well for me. I get tired of the shoes always changing to I bought another pair to have when these wear out.

I wear size 81/2 or 9 in sneakers. I got these in size 9 and they fit, my toes just make it. The rest of the shoe is cushioned in a supportive way. The toe box, though roomy, is short. It works well for my foot but definitely fits shorter and fatter than most Brooks size 9( I sometimes get Brooks Ghost so I’m comparing to those). The “ fatter” part is fixed for me by tying laces snugly in middle. I like the look since rather than the “ lightbulb “ shape of some with broad toe box, this being wider in its entirety from bottom to top looks more balanced. My high arch has had no problems on jogs, but I may pull out the insole and put in a power step or Superfeet since I was advised to do that for foot/ back health for my high arch/ high volume feet. I feel fortunate to have found these and am glad I kept trying ( returned new Ghost since too light/soft for me).

I've been having foot issues for a while and couldn't find a comfortable sneaker. Well, these are worth every penny!!! I wish some of the other more conservative colors were available, or that the black didn't have bright streaks of color, but the style isn't bad.

This was a super comfy shoe. I have bunions so need something that does not rub inside my big toe and this one does not. I did order a wide for that reason. It was not huge around the ankle like so many wide shoes. It was snug all around and I think a great aerobics shoe. Good padding and arch support too. PS. To Brooks quit making white sided soles. Almost did not keep for that reason. Dark shoe and white soles is old fashioned.

I have worn this brand and style for about 10 years now and the 2019 model is a change. I understand from the manufacturer that this is supposed to allow the shoe to last longer and provide more stability. I hope so. I wear this model because it comes in a 2N. My traditional shoe size is a 7.5 and like most running shoes I wear an 8.5 rather than my regular shoe size. There's enough room in the toe box with the size up - I can't image how my toes would rub in my traditional size. For many years these shoes were blue - not sure I love the black but I don't hate it. They do provide the stability that I've come to know and appreciate. Overall, I like them and have never found a better shoe for my very narrow foot.

I normally wear a size 9. I ordered these in 9 and 9.5 and ended up keeping the 9.5. The 9's were a bit short in the toes. I haven't worn the shoes out yet, but from just trying them on they seem very comfortable and I like the fact that the heel is padded and doesn't gape open.

I wear a 8.5wide in non-running shoes, and the 9 extra wides in these were the best fit. They are a tad loose but the next size down would be too small. They are comfy with cushioned running socks and really snug lacing. It’s nice to finally find wide shoes that fit!

Great cushion and support. Tried these over the Asics GT2000 I’ve worn for the last few years. I have a flat foot and get joint pain up and down my legs if i don’t have enough support. Hoping to take these out and be pain free. If not ill go back to asics which have less cushion but are slimmer to my foot in the arch providing more support. Note that the grey/white/copper is not a white shoe but a light grey. I dont even know why white is in the description.

I wear a 7-7.5 in other shoes but usually go up a size in athletic shoes so I purchased the GTS19 in a size 8. I also have wide feet with taylor bunions so I always get an extra wide to allow some extra width for the bunionettes, extra thick socks, and my custom orthotics. I've worn these daily for almost 4 weeks now. These shoes are FABULOUS. Sure, they're more expensive than some of the other brands but these are well worth the extra. I was a loyal New Balance customer for many years until my most recent purchase. The quality is just not there like it use to be. I am now a Brooks loyalist. I am on my feet all day and not once have my feet been sore and I'm recovering from mild plantar fascitis too. I bought the black w/pink and they are much more attractive than in the photos. Treat your feet with Brooks!

I really like these shows. I will have to get new insoles because these have a bit too much arch for me but otherwise they are perfect

I love Brooks running shoes. This is my fourth pair in the past two years. I’ve had three pair of the Adrenaline GTS 18 and they fit my foot comfortably right out of the box. Full disclosure, I am not a runner, but between walking my dogs and walking on the treadmill, I log in six to seven miles most days. I have a narrow heel and have problems finding running shoes that are narrow through the heel, have a low profile but a wider toebox. Since finding these shoes, my feet have been happy. I was worried that the GTS 19 would fit differently than the 18, but I’ve not noticed a change in fit or quality. I find that this shoe runs a bit shorter than most. In a regular shoe I wear a 9 or 9.5 N depending upon the manufacturer. In running shoes I’m a 10 to 10.5 N. In Brooks I find that the 10.5 N is perfect.

This version is way better than the last one!!! Much more lightweight! Low profile!

I agree with others that the GTS 18 ran smaller but the GTS 19 seem perfect -- right from the moment that I put them on. I am not a runner but I over pronate and my ankles and knees will hurt. I didn't even have to change the inserts -- great support.

The GTS19 has got me back on track again! The GTS18 was a disappointment in terms of sizing and toe box fit. The new updated GTS 19 is back to what I was used to. The toe box it longer and wider, fitting like the old models. And the heel is better placed for me. It is a little heavier than the GTS 18 though. I was also able to go back to my original sizing of 9 versus 9.5 in the GTS 18. I agree with other reviewers the color combinations could be more attractive, but overall fit wins out for me every time.

I bought these shoes as potential alternative to the Brooks Addiction 13. I liked the white color and thought they might be a bit more "street" fashionable than the Addiction. I did not like these nearly as much as the Addiction. The toe box is VERY wide. Since I don't need that extra width for comfort, they just looked clunky and odd to me. As for sizing -- I am a 9 in most shoes, 9.5 in Asics Gel, 10 in Brooks Addiction. So, I wasn't sure whether I would be a 9.5 or a 10 in these. I ordered both. The 9.5 fit me, so they run a bit more true to size than the Addiction. I found the Addiction to be more supportive than these and certainly look better (for me) than these. I ended up returning both the 9.5 and the 10. I plan on purchasing another pair of the Addiction 13.

I am ambivalent about the GTS19s. I think they look great. I always buy the all-black version of athletic shoes and these look better than previous purchases. I also love the width of the toe box, which is perfect for my osteoarthritis. But I walk 40-50 kilometers a week so comfort is the single most import feature for me and these fall short in that department. My issue is that I seem to be developing a callous at the bottom edge of right heel. It could be my socks. I'm not sure yet. But if this issue doesn't resolve itself, I will be returning these. I previously wore GTS 17s, which I loved. I skipped last year's GTS 18s when I was able to find the 17s on sale.

My daughter had the GTS 18 for cross country and loved them. They fit her perfectly. Unfortunately, something has changed with the GTS 19. She cannot wear them. They cause her to over pronate her foot and roll her ankle when running. We had to return them to Zappos.

I have worn Adrenalines by Brooks for many years and loved the fit. Don't know why they drastically changed the fit and material but they are no longer a good shoe for me. I have severe foot problems so I am disgusted with the company for changing a shoe that was working so well for people like me.

These were awful. I have been running in the 18’s but needed a new pair to start training for a half marathon. I started breaking these in and felt they were tight across the toe box, but thought that they just needed to loosen up. I wore them to boot camp a few times, then for walking my dog and finally for some short runs. They were ok for working out in, but towards the end of a 3 mile walk were really pinching. I don’t know why I thought I should give them a shot on a 5 mile run, but i did. I ended up having to stop, take each shoe off readjust my socks and then loosen up the laces as much as possible. I even thought of just finishing in my socks, that’s how bad they hurt. I really wish Brooks would not change the models like this year to year. I has zero issues with the 18’s. Now, I’m sending these back and giving the Saucony Hurricanes a try.

This shoe runs a tad narrower than the other running shoes I tried, which is exactly what I need. The toe box is still very roomy. I tried so many other brands before finding these. Thank goodness for Zappos I could easily send them back. It was comical...the UPS store knew me by sight because I had to return so many! When I did discover how well these fit and how cushiony they were, I ended up getting three pairs! Best part (besides the great fit) was that I got them all on sale!
