Brooks Mens Adrenaline GTS 20 Running Shoe

I have been running in the Adrenaline GTS model since version 6, usually putting about 400 miles on before swapping out for new (2 pairs per year on average on the roads). I am a not big / not small, about 5'11" and 188, and the GTS have been a very reliable sneaker for me over the years. I have put about 50 miles on this pair since buying them, and I think this is the best version yet. I thought the move to the "guiderails" in version 19 might have been a mistake, but in this version, which seems to be a little more stripped down than prior versions, everything just works well. I did move down a 1/2 size from prior versions, 12.5 normal width now vs. 13 normal width. You won't mistake this for a racing sneaker, but as a solid daily trainer that you can easily log miles in, it remains a go to sneaker for me.

To start, I'm 6'5 and 335 lbs with a diagnosed hammer toe. I was up to 365 after my wife had a baby, and have worked my way down 30 lbs since February, albeit painfully. It came to a point where my old running shoes were hurting more than helping, so I decided to look for a new shoe to help me continue my weight loss and train towards my eventual goal of a half marathon in November.So to Google I went. After coming through countless top running shoe lists and looking for shoes that are rated to heavier runners, I came across this one. I'm not used to spending much on shoes, but with how far I had come, and the pain level my feet were in after every run, I pulled the trigger.These shoes are everything I hoped they would be and more! The cushion and support they offer has virtually eliminated any foot pain, as well as the knee pain I developed. I have noticed an immediate increase in endurance and overall comfort during my runs, and even my speed has increased! I never thought a shoe could make this much of a difference, especially for a larger guy. Most reviews for shoes are from average size guys, or at least not touching 300 lbs. It's good to know that this shoe's reputation holds up, even in the larger sizes. I couldn't be happier and plan to keep using these shoes throughout my training, hopefully during the half marathon, and well beyond that.

I haven't liked the Brooks adrenaline series since the 2014's, but they got it right with these 20's. If your feet tend to over pronate, and you have trouble with plantar fascia these shoes are perfect.

Husband has flat feet. These cushion, support and are light weight. He loves these trainers so much. Wears them for walking, running and at the gym. Highly recommends to anyone with flat feet.

Feedback: GTS - the 19 version is my favorite. GTS 20 - its ok but not like GTS 19. It has less comfort in the front of the shoe. It is lighter which is a plus for some. For me the loosing comfort which is the # 1 reason I use brooks the last 11 years was a set back. I am returning to exchange for GTS 19. If you do want the shoe to be lighter than the GTS 19 these will be a win for you with a little less comfort in the front.

1st and foremost a, I would advise anyone who is looking at these shoes to go to a running store and get fitted for a Brooks adrenaline. They run about a size larger, and are specialized for specific types of feet and running style. That being said, I use these to replace my adrenaline 19s which i got about a year ago. Personally, I'm a big fan of the guard rails and love the 5th. my 1st time running on them I did 3 miles with no problem, even cutting off 30 seconds per mile. Brooks has been a reliable brand for me, so I'll be sticking with them for a while. Plus, the price point can't be beat in any store

I've been using Nike running shoes for years without knowing if they were the right shoe for me. After having a gait analysis I learned that I'm an over-pronator. I've known for a while that Brooks shoes are very popular among the running community, so I decided to adventure to try a shoe for my specific needs, and I don't regret the decision. Best running shoes I've ever had.I mainly use these shoes for running long distances. I haven't had any issues so far. I really like the looks and they are very comfortable.

I just received these today in size 9 wide. To compare, I tried on the Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 36 in size 9D (medium) and it fit perfectly. I have a one of the Adidas Ultraboost 20s in 9D and it's fine. However, with these, I researched and found that Brook's width in most of their shoes run more narrow, so I went with wide and it has the same fitment as Pegasus and Ultraboost 20s. So, for these,, I'd recommend going 1/2 a size up or going wide if a "D" width fits like a sock for you.Overall, They are quite comfortable and offer plenty of cushion from heel to toe. I plan on doing short distances with them, like 800m - 5000m, but are obviously built for longer distances due to the cushioning. If you plan on doing mid distance or sprint training, I would say these would be nice on your shins, ankles, and knees but aren't mean for speed training. I'll update in a few months.

Great feeling shoe, unfortunately I went half a size up as recommended on many sites for Brooks and was a little big, would recommend sticking with true to size. My actual size was not in stock, will definitely buy once back in.

No surprise to me again , these Brooks GTS 20's everything I expected.Have notched up 20miles this week and the difference has been epic.Replacement for my GTS 18's which have now become my walking trainers.I change every 350miles of running which usually takes me about 2yrs.Have had many Brooks runners and they never fail to satisfy.Comfortable, lightweight & value for money.

These are the most technologically advanced support shoes on the market. Rightly described as the Tesla of running shoes for anyone with a pronation or mild injury. Nothing else has so much clever support and is made as well. These wil last for ages.

Great trainer. however, you need to order a half or full size bigger than your normal size. I needed to upsize by a full size. The delivery was shocking, I was given a delivery date which is longer that a prime subscriber expects, I was then told it was out for delivery and then they run out of time so re-scheduled and I'm a prime subscriber - seriously concerned about consumer service over returns as well.

... Für Überpronierer!Ich liebe Brooks Schuhe und es gibt für mich keine Besseren.Ich laufe wöchentlich ca. 30km und bin der typische Plattfußläufer, dank den Brooks Schuhen kann ich meiner Leidenschaft, dem Laufen, ungehindert nachgehen, ohne dass ich Schmerzen o.ä. davontrage.Einmal Brooks immer Brooks :-)

Quite dissappointed. The shoe was damaged just after my 3rd wear. I expected a 100£ shoe to last me much longer than 3 wears. The comfort is good enough but I do not think the materials quality is upto the mark. You might be better off buying ASICS or other stability brands.

Bought the gost 12 last week and these are more comfotable for me just getting over morton nuroma so i recommend these

Shoe description all wrong says UK 10 but shoe is actually UK size 9. Amazon should check before shipping

Beware! When buying from Amazon.com sizing stated 10.5 UK, received US size 10.5 which is a full size smaller!Nice looking trainer though.

loved my pair of Brooks Men's Adrenaline Gts 19 so getting the 20 as my next running shoe was an easy choice.

Like running on air. Can’t wait to run every day in these

Fit as expected, a few glue drops on the seams...noticeable on the Black

Mit einem Brooks Laufschuh tut man seinen Füßen, den Beinen und dem Rest , einfach nur eine Wohltat zuführen. Man muss natürlich wissen welchen Typ Schuh man brauch oder besser gesagt will, bei der Größe eine Nummer mehr nehmen und schon ist man auf der Gewinnerstraße unterwegs.

Ich bin Laufanfänger und habe die Schuhe laut Laufschuhkonfigurator gekauft. Bin knapp 1,90m und wiege 120kg. Die Schuhe passen perfekt und dämpfen richtig gut. Mit anderen hatte ich Schwierigkeiten auf Grund meines schlechten Trainingszustandes. Diese Schuhe hier aber sorgen dafür das meine Schienbeine und Knie nicht zucken beim Laufen. Einfach klasse!

Im Gegensatz zum Brooks Defyance (mit dem ich auch sehr zufrieden war) ist dieser Schuh leichter. Allerdings auch nicht ganz so stabil. Ansonsten ist die Verarbeitung tadellos. Größe 44 (wide) passt mit orthopädischen Einlagen für "normale" Schuhgröße 42,5.
