Brooks Men's Adrenaline Gts 19 Running Shoes

I've been using Brooks Ravenna for several years now, and I find them a great shoe, light, springy and feel fast. But recently after suffering from several small injuries I found my toes (mainly 2nd) take a hammering during longer runs to the point where they are swollen and bruised. I think this is a result of over pronation. I can't even remember when I last had normal toe nails on these toes.Anyway I thought I'd try the new GTS 19, which has slightly more support and what a difference.. I've done 2 runs now, one short (7k) and one longer (15k) and I've certainly felt a difference. Firstly this shoe is so comfortable, there is a lot of protection from the hard surface (something I like).Secondly it feels like there is less pressure on my toes during and after running. The shoe feels fast, or fast enough for me. So far so good. I've tried the GTS before (15 I think) and didn't get on with it, but this is a massive improvement. I went 1/2 a size up on my normal shoe size and the fit is perfect. So, if you are looking for a comfortable supportive shoe give this a go.

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.

Great shoes, this is my 8th pair of Brooks adrenaline running shoes. They are always comfortable and fit the same as the pair before. Good shoe, and I usually get about 600 miles out of each pair.

These running shoes are great. Lightweight and very comfortable. A perfect fit. They provide additional support due to the wider heel and better arch design. They are an upgrade from Brooks Revel 2, which was a good shoe in its own right! Adrenaline 19 is well worth the extra money. On a 10km run, my feet felt right at home.

I get these as I know this model running shoe is light, comfortable and most importantly supports my overpronation and shin splints!These are that comfortable they quickly became my everyday walking shoes.They wear quickly as quite soft. (I think its something like 500 miles) but I'm done way more than that, but the grips are starting to peel and break, but that is kind of expected after running/walking so many more miles than the life expectancy of the shoe

Brooks Adrenaline 19 are very comfortable, stable and well cushioned shoes. They provide a wide toe box and good heel support. For brooks running shoes I always get 1/2 - 1 size larger than my normal shoes to have space in front of my toes. First I bought Adrenaline 21, but had to return them as the edge pressed on my ankle bones. Fortunately, the older model has slightly lower or softer edges and fits perfectly. My first run, 12K on uneven, wet ground went great. I did not notice any difference in shoes fit compared to my previous daily runner, Brooks Ghost 12. The main difference is in their performance, the new shoes feel like having springs on my feet. I would recommend to anyone who is like me relatively new to running not to use the shoes long past their recommended total distance. With the new pair I noticed that amortisation on my old Brooks, which served me for 1500km, did not function well anymore.

These are my third pair of Brooks Adrenaline and probably not the last. I run over fifteen miles a week, off road and on difficult terrain. The shoes perform well and last much longer than other brands of a similar price.

Upgraded my Adrenaline GTS 6s to the 19s - brilliant decision. I would have gone down the Asics Gel Kayano route but I'm glad I didn't. Was suffering from knee pain with the old shoes and this has totally disappeared. Shoes are a perfect fit and really comfortable to run in. I should have made the switch years ago. The GTS 19s offer great support for the overpronating runner. Only downside is they're not waterproof but they dry very quickly. Don't delay, buy today!

Perfect trainer for running and daily use

I moved from a Brooks addiction (10 year user) to this. Definitely lighter than the Addiction series. I am still getting used to this..so I will reserve my comments for later.

I love the comfort , I love the fit , I love the way they feel , I have noticed that my feet do not get that tired feeling after wearing these all day , and I think they look great. I highly recommend the Adrenaline GTS!!

This is my third pair of Adrenaline GTS 19s. Being an "old guy" now, comfortable, supportive sneakers are really critical to maintaining mobility and balance. Type 2 Diabetes does tend to cause foot problems and while other shoes offer "cushioning and major arch support" they are often heavy, clunky, and difficult to walk in.Adnrealine GTS feel wonderful from the very first time I put them on, and though I've continued to search for other "more supportive" shoes, I always come back to these!

Great running shoes. It protects the sheen, ankles and knees.
