The BEST!

One of the best tennis shoes I’ve ever owned! I’m big into exercise and love walking. I aim for 20k-30k steps per day and a lot of that comes from treadmill walking when I’m not hiking. With treadmill walking I definitely need a supportive shoe that still has great cushioning or I get crazy foot cramps. I also just slightly overpronate and old injuries cause my feet to swell a bit. I also have sacroiliac joint pain so I need shoes that help lower back pain and alignment; it’s not crazy bad but something that cheap unsupportive shoes aggravate. I used to swear by AS!CS GT 2000 models but the last few releases have been so uncomfortable. I also heard great things about Brooks so I did some research and decided to invest in these. I’m glad I did because these fit every need. They’re beyond comfortable; the insole reminds me of Clark’s Cloudstepper shoes which are crazy comfortable just these have more targeted support and recovery. My back feels better, my feet swell less, and my persistent foot cramps are probably 95% better. The fit is great, roomy in the toe box so no pinching, I don’t have wide feet but I dislike if my toes feel cramped. I’d say these maybe run just a hair big. Size is my go to size for tennis shoes but it generally takes a few weeks of wear to scratch the shoe a bit for that size to feel perfect. These size 7s fit out of the box like I’ve had those few weeks of wear; which is great as long as they don’t stretch more. I’ve worn them for about a week and they haven’t really stretched so I think the size will remain fine. However if you’re between sizes I’d maybe recommend sizing down instead of the normal size up rule with tennis shoes. These are expensive shoes but for me they’re 100% worth it and I will purchase again when I need a new pair; they seem durable so hopefully they’ll last longer than most shoes. Highly highly recommend especially for anyone with foot and back pain or for anyone who puts a lot of miles on their shoes. Bonus I normally don’t run because of foot pain but jogging on the treadmill actually felt good in these so I’d say great for runners too!

Best in the category for a reason.

These feel like the standard for a reason. The support is well-balanced without feeling overly stiff, and they’re comfortable right out of the box for both running and walking. The fit is secure, and they hold your foot in place without feeling restrictive. What stands out is how reliable they are—nothing flashy, just consistent cushioning and stability that works well for everyday use. They’re especially good if you want support without overthinking it or dealing with trial-and-error from other brands. Overall, they just do the job really well, and it’s easy to see why they’re considered one of the best in the category for overpronation control and joint alignment.

Wonderful shoes

I did a lot of research on shoes that would be the right fit for me and chose these. I have rheumatoid arthritis and for the last several months I've had pain in my hips and knees as well as a bone spur under my right heel. These were comfy right out of the box. Walking became so much easier thanks to the design of the shoe. It has a wide toe box and a lot of extra sole on the sides giving me more stability. My knees no longer ache and hip pain is much improved. I ordered a half size larger than I usually wear and they fit great. Oh and the pull tab on the heal is most helpful. They aren't cheap but we'll worth the price. If you're on the fence, go for it!

Best version of Adreneline GTS so far!

Since 2020, I have purchased 11 pairs of Adrenaline for their support, comfort, and great colors. I stand on my feet for about 30 hours at work per week. The Adrenaline GTS 25 are the best so far. They were immediately comfortable when I put them on. Other likes: 1) the higher and snugget fit around my ankle; 2) the midsection has a comfortable grip due to the new subtle hour-glass shape; 3) shoe laces are long enough to easily tie, and 4) the finger hook is great for pulling on the shoes. The Brooks website and several running magazines compare the specific GTS 25 re-engineering with previous model(s) if you need more specific details.
