Brooks Men’s Adrenaline GTS 22 Supportive Running Shoe

I bought these shoes about a year ago. I am on my feet for most of my shift so they have a lot of miles on them. They are as comfortable today as they were the day I bought them. Almost every other shoe I have had breaks down in about a month’s time. You may think to yourself that it’s too much money to spend on a pair of shoes. Well think again. Before I got these shoes I was buying new ones every couple months with the second of two months being very uncomfortable. So do yourself a favor and buy Brook’s brand shoes.

For me Brooks is fantastic. They fit to size and are perfect for someone with a wide foot. I purchase this brand over and over.

Tenis de muy buena calidad, cómodos y bonitos

I’m not familiar with the Brooks brand so I gave these a try. It is pretty much the perfect shoe. Stylish, comfy, great value for price. I will definitely be a repeat customer of these shoes and the brand in general. Just blown away by the quality of this shoe.

I go to Orange Theory – a High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) exercise class – about 5 times per week. There is a combination of rowing, running, and weights / agility. I think these shoes are excellent for Orange Theory, as their stack height (height of the midsole foam) is reasonable, there are some guardrails to provide stability, and enough cushion for 3 to 5 mile runs on the treadmill.

Surprisingly, finding a good pair of shoes for the rowing machine can be difficult. If the shoe has too much foam and overly cushioned, one loses a lot of force in the leg drive due to the cushioning in the shoe. The Adrenalines have a reasonable amount of foam and the foam is a bit more firm, so not as much energy is lost in the shoes during the row.

The shoes have “guard rails” around the heel of the shoe. The idea behind these guard rails is to limit the heel movement if one overpronates (role in) or supinates (roll out). These guard rails really help with agility exercises that have a lot of lateral movement, keeping the foot planted in the shoe. I have tried agility exercises in running shoes that have high stack heights and limited lateral stability and I;m always afraid of rolling an ankle.

The shoes are designed for running and they are comfortable for the treadmill. I can easily do 3 to 5 mile runs with no issues.

The fit is ample – the toebox is pretty wide. The feel of the foam is firm, rather than squishy like some of the new foams. There’s plenty of rubber on the outsole, so they won’t wear out quickly.

The only con with these shoes is the foam is the tried and trued EVA (essentially Styrofoam and Elmer’s Glue), which I find tends to break down faster than some of the new foams like Adidas Boost, Nike React, and Saucony’s Powerrun+.

Worn them twice so far. Comfortable to walk but a bit too stiff for my liking while running on asphalt. I hope this means they will last longer…
Laces stay on, good grip, nice colours, they feel ok for 5km runs so far. They have reflective elements, so great for running before sunrise/nightfall.
Soles look resistant. But only time will say.

I’m a 10.5, but I’ve always bought Brooks on 11 for better comfort on long distances (for me at least: 18-25kms). Never disappointed.

Purchasing and delivery experience went perfect. Exceeded expectations (bought from US store and delivered internationally)
