Brooks Mens Adrenaline GTS 19 Running Shoe

My son is an over pronator and always struggled in sports complaining from arch pain, knee pain and back pain. He was going into a military youth program where he’d be involved in PT several hours a day. I reviewed several shoes and bought the two best ones I could find based on reviews and what fit my budget. One pair were ASICS and these were the 2nd pair. He got the ASICS first and really liked them. But once he got these, he said that these were the best sneakers he’s ever worn. His reasons were that they were extremely light weight as if he wasn’t wearing shoes at all, they look good (he didn’t feel like he looked like a dork in them), arch support was really good and impressive, and the back around below his ankle was soft enough that it didn’t hurt or dig into the back of his foot. It’s been about 2 months now that he’s been away and he still writes me saying that these shoes are holding up well and still his favorite go to pair for PT, while the other pair (ASICS) are good too but these are his favorite. He has no pain and runs 3 miles everyday in these shoes. I was very impressed myself and happy that I found these for him. Size was perfect fit and true to his foot size. These are an attractive shoe, well made, durable and great for people that have a low arch, flat feet and over pronators like my son. I highly recommend these shoes and I will continue to buy them for my son. These shoes stay in my Amazon favorites list. I hope they keep these on the market. My son is 16 1/2 years old, soon to be 17, 5’ 8.5” and weighs 212 pounds.

I own several pair of quality, high rated shows. I generally use a different shoe everyday of the week. I am going on 64 years old, and run a minimum of 10k per day (6.2 miles). I usually average 50-60 miles a week. I have been running since the 1980’s, it is a passion and a excellent form of exercise, This being said, shoes are so critical to performance and ability to maintain long term running ability. Currently, I run several brands of running shoes. These include Hoka, ASICS, Brooks, Skecher and Under Armor. As stated earlier, I try to change out the shoes everyday, to as to not develop side effects of faulty running design or materials. This could be anything from shins hurting, leg cramps, muscle strain, calluses, toe squishing, bruising, etc. That was until I got this pair of shoes. From the moment I received them, even up to writing this review, have I ever never known a more perfect fit in design, sizing, style, quality and over all excellent feeling out of a shoe. In the first week alone, this Brooks Adreniline GTS 19 has got 58 miles on them, and my feet have never felt better. These have even eliminated the pains I would feel in my hip, shin or calf, as I would with other shoes. I highly recommend you try these, especially if your a serious runner.

I am hard to buy shoes for and I NEVER get them online. But after New Balance shoes seem to fit worse and worse through the years, I thought I would try these. I do not have big feet, but they are wide, and I normally wear 10 EEEE. But as I've gotten older, my 4th and 5th toes are getting scrunched together and most shoes, not being wide enough, put pressure and sores on my toes. The problem with most "wide" shoes is that the shoe might be wide enough around the ball of the foot, but then the sides angle too sharply toward the big toe. I could not find any shoe in my local shoe stores to properly fit without putting too much pressure on my outer toes and I've tried many brands. I took a chance on these shoes and they are the bomb! On the advice of several others here, I got a half size larger (10.5) and the extra wide width. I have NEVER had a better fitting shoe, not even New Balance when they used to fit ok 20 years ago. The shoe is wide enough not only at the ball of the foot but it does not angle too quickly back towards the toes. I can literally walk for miles in these things and I wear them when I'm on the treadmill. NO blisters or red spots on my scrunched toes anymore. In fact, I liked them so much, I'm leaving a review on them here and buying another pair.

I am 68-yrs-old and work out 3x week, two hours per day. Early in 2019, I added HIIT training on a treadmill that had a setting for that option. The experience was thrilling, eventually alternating between 5.8 mph and 2.5 mph. My knee started hurting after awhile and I was instructed to back off, so went down to 5.4 mph for a shorter period of time. That eased the pain back, but I missed the thrill PLUS this has been great in lowering my BP. In the most recent issue of Men's Health, they recommended and pictured 5 running shoes. The Brooks suggestion especially mentioned it was good at reducing knee pain. I researched all 5 and thought I would give Brooks a try. I really appreciate the reviews on Amazon suggesting to order the shoes 1/2 size larger, which I did. When I received the shoes, it was a tight fit. I'm usually a 9, ordered it in a 9 1/2, but if I were at a sporting goods store, I may have tried on the 10, but would have settled for the 9 1/2. The 9 1/2 is very supportive. I've been running on the treadmill for two weeks now with no knee pain. I have bumped up the speed to 6.2 mph -- and the thrill is back!

I bought these after several years of using the Brooks S-257, which I bought from a local company which put customers on a treadmill and video recorded their gaits, and then recommended shoes (sadly no longer in business). Since that time I have been a less-than-serious runner, but in the last 2 years decided to get more serious/consistent about running. 257's got to the point of some pain after I would run a 5K, so I decided to start looking for a replacement. So as a complete novice, I know NOTHING about running shoes. I remember that I'm a mild over-pronator with somewhat flat feet. Time for Google. I started out with Brooks, because after all, they lasted me several years and were comfortable (if a bit heavy). Of course my trusty 257's have since been long discontinued. So after reading a lot of comparisons and reviews, I had to decide between (previous model) Brooks Adrenaline GTS 18 (on clearance, good price), or the new model Adrenaline GTS 19. Being frugal, I figured the 18's would be the best bet (saving $40). Also ordered the ASICS Mens Gel-Cumulus 19. The Cumulus are not great at all. They felt half broken-in after the first run, and my feet and hips were in some pain for a couple of days.. NOPE. Next run, GTS 18. Not as bad as the Cumulus, but still had that shockey kind of pain in my feet after running. The pain would last a day or more, so no good. Was really surprised that such a highly-rated shoe would hurt my feet and hips! So, time to bite the bullet and spend the dough-rey-me. Decided I would do my own comparison and ordered the Asics GT-2000 7 and these GTS 19. Was excited about the "rail" in the GTS 19. Revolutionary. Awesome. Best thing since sliced bread... but not for me. They really feel fine for the first mile or so (which I run in around 7 minutes), but then fatigue begins to set in, and I really have to kinda watch my gait. By mile two still ok, but have to begin considering my steps. The shoes are feeling kinda thin. I mean... I'm getting tired, and what form I may have becomes less than professional. Have to pay attention to try to monitor each step. But.. I only have 1.1 miles left. As I draw to a finish I don't care much about my gait. I'm just dragging my tired rear-end across the finish. At this point, I'm more concerned with salvaging my time and trying to finish strong and keep that spring in my step. BUT, my feet are feeling a bit worn (no pain, just tired), and feel like I should concentrate on each step, or I might actually hurt my feet. Also noticed that the tongue area was kind of rubbing the front of my ankle in an uncomfortable way. The shoe never really felt secure on my foot. I personally do not like tight-fitting shoes, but no matter how loose I tied them, the opening around the ankle felt stiff and kinda annoying. Like a stiff collar on a shirt. Is this really my best option????? Yesterday I tried out the Asics GT 2000 7. I ran my second best ever time. I didn't even think much about it. My feet never hurt, I don't remember actively concentrating on how my steps were coming down. I sit here typing this the next day, and my feet or hips don't hurt at all Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems to me that the Asics are more like my classic 257's. The GTS 19's will be going back.

In my job I walk between 5 and 13 miles per day on concrete. So having a comfortable shoe that supports me is vital. I have worn Keen lows for many years and while they give me the support that I need thier footbed is hard and tends to wear out my insoles that I needed to purchase @ $50 per pair every 6 months...so the cost of the Keens for a year were in excess of 275. I went to the local running store that my son uses (distance runner) and they found 3 shoes that fit but the Brooks Adrenaline GTS fit the best, light weight and other than a large arch support they were perfect. Highs * Price * Weight * Comfort * Construction Low * Arch support I have high arches and these do not completely fit the bill but after a day my arches do not hurt and the front part of my foot no longer has excruciating pain. Will keep wearing Brooks until something better comes out...

I am extremely flat footed which has caused leg/calf/ankle problems/pains over the year. I am in law enforcement as well as I work as an armed security guard so i am on my feet A LOT. A Physical Therapist recommended these shoes due to the amount of support they give. They fit and feel EXTREMELY comfortable and are the most comfortable pair of shoes I have ever owned. This is my 4th pair over a 4 year span so I average a pair per year. Considering how much I work out and work in/stand in a years time I feel they last very well. Each pair I actually keep and wear longer than a year. I just purchase a new pair each year. The oldest pair I have is 3 years old and use them to work in the yard and such. Highly recommend these shoes if your on your feet a lot.

These were my first ever running shoes and I really loved them. At first I started running in my everyday gym shoes, but eventually my feet and knees started to hurt. Getting these shoes entirely eliminated the pain in my feet and helped with my knees a lot too. After a couple months these shoes do seem to wear off especially when running on the road, the pain in my feet starts coming back and I do have to get the new ones, but all manufacturer's mention the distance-span limit upfront. I am a low intensity long-distance runner doing a couple hundred kilometres per month and right now I'm on my 3rd pair of this exact model. Despite it getting outdated, I don't really have any motivation to switch to the newer more expensive models. My main issue is the longevity because I don't want to be spending hundred $$ every couple months, but newer models don't offer any longer life-spans. The photo shows the condition of these shoes at the end of their running lifespan - so they are still in a perfect condition for biking or regular workouts. All-in-all great shoes.

They fit perfectly, running is very smooth, I love them.

I really appreciate Amazon as the shipping was fast enough that during pendamic these shoes as my I bought these for Hubby and so far it’s been a month and he is so happy that his knees don’t hurt any more . He would walk for long distances and work outs wearing these and he love it. He has flare feet and it’s the best shoes ever that he experienced providing the comfort to his knees and soles . Happy with my purchase and difinitely will buy again. Thanks Brooks adrenaline

Erano per un regalo e sono piaciute

I'm sad to say that I'm genuinely very excited about this shoe. The 2019 GTS has had a major redesign of the shoe uppers. And with that I am pleased to say that the stitched toe cap has been removed. For me these nearly always are the first thing to break. The front part of the shoe upper is now one continuous piece of fabric, which I'm hoping will be much harder wearing. I've just finished running this shoe in and the fit and feel is the same as previous generations, if not better. So I am very happy with my purchase and optimistic about how this shoe is going to work out in the long term [UPDATE: 100+ miles, no issues or loss of comfort]. And that's the review, but if you want to find out why I feel so positive then read the epic follow on below. I've been buying adrenaline GTS shoes every year for over 10 years. I run the same distance every week, same pace, same surface. I try to get a year out of them (which puts them on about 1000 miles). My typical GTS experience is that I buy them, after 8-9 months the toe cap starts coming unstitched, and by a year they are dangerous to run in (as my big toe is usually poking out the end). The exception to this is the GTS 11 and GTS 12 which lasted 14 months+ (I still have the 2012 model as my backup pair of running shoes). From 2012 the GTSs (while outwardly seeming virtually identical to previous versions) steadily deterioriated in quality until the GTS 17, which were absolutely awful. I had two 2017 pairs - the sole of the first came unglued in 3 months and the same happened to the second pair plus the toecap came unstitched within 6 months. But the GTS 18 - that was a fine shoe. Mine lasted well over a year (until the achilles padding wore out a couple of weeks back - which I think is one of the honorable ends for a running shoe). In my opinion the GTS 18 was the best shoe they've produced since the GTS 12. But the GTS 19 looks like it could be even better. If you squint you'd be hard pushed to tell the difference between the 12 and the 18. But the 19 is a different animal completely - it looks like a modern shoe. I'm hoping that the major redesign is an indication that they have taken feedback and improved the shoe. As opposed to just cranking the GTS handle. As always, time will tell.

C'est la troisième fois que j'achète ce modèle. Les évolutions d'une année sur l'autre sont mineures. Une constante le confort et la résistance pour un grand et fort gabarit.
