Good shoes, however they quickly wore out even with only 30 mile weeks.

Good Support

Anonymous runner · Jul 20, 2019

4/5

Overall

This is my third iteration of the Brooks Adrenaline GTS. Many happy miles on those past. Shoe provides good support for my running style. One small complaint with the GTS 17 is the design of the material wrapping around the toe box would sometimes give me a blister on the inside of the foot. Something I did not experience with past GTS models.

The shoe holds up very well, I run between 40-50 mpw. I do not pronate, but love the extra support and the way that the shoe holds up without wearing out to quickly.

Brooks Adrenaline

5/5

Overall

I have used the Adrenaline shoes from Brooks for the past 10 years. The latest iteration is very similar to the previous ones. These shoes provide great cushioning and hold up well even after 500 miles. They are a little on the heavy side but they are versatile enough for all distances and terrains.

Amazing Overall Stability Shoe

Anonymous runner · Jul 4, 2018

5/5

Overall

Overall, this is an amazing stability shoe. From the start, I have never had any problems with the comfort. The durability of this shoe is amazing too. I've been running with this shoe for over 6 months now, and while the rubber on the bottom of the shoe is fading away, I am still able to run with the shoe without any discomfort. This is more than I can say for the Nike Zoom Odyssey or the Mizuno Wave Inspire lineup.
