I love Brooks, I have used them for a long time, but I'm very disappointed in the quality of this pair. Fabric started to wear down and fray right below the ankle and the sole wore down quicker than usual.

This is my first time trying Brooks Adrenaline GTS 19's and I was really excited. When I received the shoes they were a little snug, but eventually became comfortable. I used the shoes mainly for just day to day activities because they seemed nice. I got the shoes right before the pandemic. I was disappointed to see how quickly they became worn out, after only about a week of use. The top of the shoe is tearing and the soles are also worn and aren't very sturdy. Overall a nice shoe but disappointed because I don't think they'll last much longer.

This is my second pair of Adrenaline GTS 19's. I find Brooks shoes very comfortable and supportive. I am a race-walker and walk about 60 minutes a day. I got the new pair around the beginning of the pandemic. I was totally surprised that the rim around the top had totally worn through on the inside of both shoes. The black nubs on the soles have worn off on the toes . They will not last much longer. I love the shoe, but the quality has not lived up to Brooks standards.

I have been a huge Brooks fan since I started running 3 years ago, and Adrenaline has been my go-to shoe. Sadly, the GTS 19 just doesn't seem to offer enough support with the Guide Rails - I miss the GTS 18. I just made it to 500km with these, I got 600km with the GTS 18. I've had to switch brands for a shoe with a bit more support, but would switch back in a heartbeat if Brooks brought back foam support like with the GTS18 (and the trail version of the Adrenalines, too!)

Please bring back the GTS 18! My first pair of Brooks was the adrenaline GTS 18 and completely changed the way I view running shoes. They took so much pressure off my feet, ankles, knees, etc I would forget I was running. I over-pronate so I need a shoe designed with this in mind. They held up their good condition for what felt like forever. I purchased this new model about 6 months ago, and they have been killing me for the last 3 months. Even in their brand new condition, they were not half as efficient as the 18. My feet slide inwards towards each other and the arch support is lacking. I have been trying to "ride" it out to make it feel worth the purchase, but this model is unfortunately subpar In terms of durability. Pleaaaaase adjust accordingly!

Too dark but aside from that I am happy with the shoe

I have flat feet and these shoes felt awesome on my arch but the sizing seemed way too small. I usually wear 9.5 and got 10, too small. Exchanged for 10.5 and still too small. Toes were cramped and felt like they were going to burst out of the top of the shoe whenever I walked.

The GTS 19 adds the guide rail system which strenghtens the stability of the shoes. However, it is not comfortable to wear.
I mainly want to get these shoes for walking. The 12 mm off set is high for me.

Thought I would try this brand because I am looking for a comfortable work shoe. The cut of the shoe just wasn't for my foot. With each step, my foot would slide forward and as a result my foot just didn't feel stable and supported. I returned them.

I usually wear 9.5W - 10W, which I ordered first; however my toes were not comfortable so ordered 10.5W. The length was fine, but the mesh top wore on the top of my toes, not allowing enough height. Disappointed.

I've been buying the Adrenalines for years and this version was very different. The soles feel thicker/higher and I think it's contributing to myback pain. It goes away when I wear my old ones.

Needed a deeper toe box -- also concerned about the lack of rubber on toe edge.

I ordered the GTS 19 to replace my current GTS 18 and they are not the same fit as the GTS 18. They feel fine length wise but the toe box and overall width of the 19 feels narrower to me. I do not have wide feet but I could tell they are not made the same. I was disappointed because I really loved the GTS 18.

The first 3 days it was like walking on pillows. My feet felt great! supported, wonderful. The service from ZAPPOS was super. But now I will have to say I must be adding some insole supports to them. The foam has compressed and the shoes are no longer supportive, as they were in the beginning. Im disappointed. I wish the euphoria had been longer!

The fit and style are just right for my Size 5 feet yet I do agree with other reviews that Brook shoes have changed in the last few years. I really don't feel the quality is as good. My main concern is the cushioning for the bottom of my feett. I use these shoes for the gym and while they are fine for weight machines and light walking the ball of my foot gets sore after being on the treadmill for awhile. Hopefully I just need to break them in. The other silly thing are the shoe laces - they are the cheapest type you could possibly put on a pair of shoes. I will probably swap them out.

I like the look of these. They are not uncomfortable, however I need them for standing all day and my feet still hurt at the end of the day. Ultimately I returned them.

Bye, bye Adrenaline. You’re just too unpredictable! My feet may have found a new love in the Ravenna 10. I have owned two older versions of the Adrenaline which I loved. I’ve tried to buy newer versions, and end up sending them back. The 19 is too short, even though I ordered a half size up; basically, these 19s are just a poor fit in all respects.

I have been trying to find a Brooks shoe that I can walk in. I have pain in the ball of my foot and big toe and hip. I am discovering that 12mm drop is too much and causes increased pain when walking. It put pressure on my knees also. These are stability shoes and I think that made my problems worse also. I appreciate Zappos so much for letting me try these shoes and return. I have to get out and walk in them to know what they are going to do. I think Brooks are excellent shoes, it is just finding the right combination of drop, width, and arch support. Thank you again Zappos for being the best place to buy shoes.

Lovely shoe but not for me. the width of the toe box was not secure enough for my 4A foot, even with my orthotic in place. Your service is wonderful and I won't give up in future!

They were a little wider than I like but not uncomfortable. Every review I read talked about how much cushion was in the heel, I didn't find that to be true. The shoe is comfortable but didn't meet my expectation.

The shoe is very comfortable, almost like slippers, but the toe box is too narrow. I ordered the same size I wore for the Adrenaline 18, but putting the two models side by side, it's very apparent the 19's toe box is narrower, I can see my little toe pushing out against the side of the shoe. Odd, since multiple reviews indicate others feel the 19's run wider in the toe box. I'm going to have to return them, unfortunately.

I wish it had better arch support like my last pair of Brooks. They looked really good.

I loved the look of these shoes. I am confused on the size though. I ordered the same size I always do in Brooks but they are too short (pushing on my big toe) I am going to try and go up a size and then review again.

Loved these shoes. My feet never hurt while doing my HIIT workouts. Too bad they started to come apart after 6 weeks! The whole bottom of the shoe started coming apart at the bottom. Rubber would literally flap on the side. Very disappointing for shoes that I loved and hoped would last A LOT longer.
