Customer Reviews Brooks Adrenaline GTS 19

Strange Fit. The toe box was fine but the middle of the shoe felt too narrow. So then I tried wide but the toe box was waaay too big. Just a weird fit for me compared the the last pair I had.

I was excited to try Brooks shoes, as I'd heard so many good things about them. Less than three months after buying my first pair, I'm not excited anymore. This particular pair was supposed to support my ankles - not so much. And the soles are coming apart. So disappointing...

I have been using Adrenaline for over 15 years. Never was able to find any better shoes. Models 10, 11 were the best for arch support, stability, breathability and cushion. ASR and GTX models were excellent. Was a bit disappointed with 15 model (they felt harder), but when bought 19 it was a big disappointment. No arch support, so this is not stability shoe for me anymore. So bad, I have to look at different brands... Dear Brooks! Don't ruin great shoe, bring old Adrenaline back!

I've been running on Adrenalines for a long time and they have always worked for me until this version! First, they run longer, but not a full 1/2 size longer so I can't find the right fit. I'm usually an 8, but 8 is huge and 7.5 is just a touch too small. Also, these are so wide in the lacing area and the ankle has a weird fit. I can't lace to the extra lacing holes for a snug fit, and without it my foot feels wobbly. Literally, every other version has fit perfectly. This also has less support and I've had foot/ arch pain after running in these. Why change a perfectly good, litearlly famous, support shoe?

I run 3-4 days a week. Roads only. Adrenalines have been my go-to for the last 8 years. Never a problemuntil I started wearing the 19's. It started on the outside of my right foot. After a run my 5th metatarsal felt like it was broken. I couldn't put weight on it without experiencing pain. Attempts to rehabilitate, stretching/exercises/not running, did nothing. (Background on me: I am a sports massage therapist) As soon as I would return to running the pain would be back. Now it has progressed to not only that area, but also the area between my right malleolus & my achilles on the lateral side. My low back on the right side and my right hip also appear to be suffering as this has no doubt caused a change in my gait. Nothing in my routine has changedjust the shoe. I had a sneaking suspicion that the guide rails may be correcting my overpronation a little too much, but did not know anyone who also used the same model and therefore had no comparison besides my own experience. Cut to about an hour ago when I spoke with my sister-in-law. She is having the same foot problem. Guess what model she is wearing? Yep, the 19's. As long as these guide rails are a thing, I'll have to find another shoe to run in. Disappointing and frustrating.

When I discovered Brooks Adrenaline GTS in 2014, I happily found the best shoes ever for me. I've been wearing Brooks Adrenaline GTS for 6 years, running happy without any more injuries. Then I came to the GTS 19, and after a couple of runs I got hips troubles (pyriform and middle gluteus syndrome, bilateral). Then I found out a pair of GTS 18 lost in a store... and my running turned ok again. Adrenaline are supportive shoes till the GTS 18 edition. GTS 19 (and subsequent) are not supportive shoes any more. Very cushion, but no more support for pronation. GTS have become neutral shoes. It's a pity. I don't know which my next running shoes will be. Surely no more Brooks Adrenaline. It's really a pity.

I ordered these shoes a couple of days ago and was quite disappointed to find out that they didn't actually have them in stock. Why would you sell the shoes if you didn't have them? I went back to check and it still says that they are in stock. I was really looking forward to these shoes but I guess I'll never get to try them out.

I have worn GTS's for as long as I can remember. The changes in the 19's made my knee hurt. I tried two different pair of the 19's but still knee hurt. I don't look the fact a person can get wides in two shoes one always being black. I see the wideS this year is black and greyish. My feet get hot in darker shoes. I am sad to say I won't be wearing anymore of GTS's. I have switched to the Bedlam those have a wide toe box and haven't had issues with my knee since switching. As long as the Bedlam 2 is the same as Bedlam I will continue wearing Brooks

I have been wearing Adrenaline's for 15 years without any issues. I bought 2 of the 19, assuming they'd be the same running shoe I loved. There is nothing similar about this version. The mesh is too thin and soft, not holding the foot in. My achilles constantly aches when I wear these. This happens when I wear both of the 19s I bought, and never happens with my other Adrenalines which I still have. What happened to this model? I'm concerned about trying the 20, so will probably switch brands.

I hate the toes of these shoes! There's hard pieces that are supposed to keep the shape but they are now creased in both shoes and hurt my toes.

I loved my last pair of GTS 18s. I am incredibly disappointed in the new version. I won't be buying Brooks again, sadly. I really loved the support and cloud-like feeling I got from running in my others, but these just make everything hurt so much. These don't have the support for over pronation like they used to.

I have been using adrenaline shoes for more than 5 years, they were great, now, the new adrenaline 19, dont give the support I used to have with the others Adrenaline version, and my feet and knees are painful. I will recommend to the one that the design that they need to correct the shoe is created a bad alignment. Now I am looking to other brand's shoes to give the support and confort adrenaline use to give me.
