Customer Reviews Brooks Adrenaline GTS 22

Love this shoe! It quiets my foot pain, allowing me to keep moving!

TL/DR: Highly recommend for everyday wear (standing and walking) for those who are heavy or overpronate. For that same audience, recommend a max support shoe like the Ariel for dedicated, frequent running. Longer review: I've been using the Adrenaline GTS for years as a walking shoe. I'm heavy (over 200 lbs.) and overpronate, but hate wearing the max support shoes as non-workout street wear. Max support shoes feel like pillows tied to your feet (comfortable, but bulky) and are noticeably workout shoes (chunky design and bright color combos). The Adrenaline GTS, specifically the black-on-black, is streamlined and subtle enough in a casual wardrobe for everyday use without feeling or looking like you're wearing your workout shoes. As both someone who is heavy and an overpronator, the Adrenaline GTS is a perfect everyday walking shoe. It is supportive enough to mediate my overpronation while walking, has good arch support, and a cushiony sole. Even after a whole day of standing and walking, nothing aches (not my feet, ankles or knees). I would recommend to other heavy and/or overpronators for everyday walking/standing use. That said, while sufficient in a pinch for occasional running, sports or even hiking (I've done all those things in these shoes) if you're heavy or an overpronator and need a shoe for frequent running, you may want to go with a max support option like the Ariel. The Ariel is bulkier, which is is great for correcting pronation and providing even more cushion for those who run heavy. The downside of the Ariel is it's so visibly a workout shoe. With it's bulkier design and lack of a monochromatic color scheme (there's always a bright color accent) it's not as subtle for everyday street wear as the Adrenaline. Note: I also love that Brook's women and men's shoes of same model line are exactly the same. They are the same shoe, just a different size label inside. I wear a women's 10W and can get the men's regular width 8.5 and they look EXACTLY the same.
