Amazon.com | Brooks Men's Adrenaline GTS 22 Supportive Running Shoe | Road Running

Another one of the many superlative Brooks athletic shoes. I evaluated the GTS 22 against the Brooks Beast; and chose the Beast over the GTS 22 only because I have weak ankles and arches, and the Beast is a little more supportive for these conditions. But the Beast is also heavier and stiffer. The GTS 22 on the other hand is more flexible and comfortable, and because of those qualities it is probably a better choice for most people.But either shoe is a terrific choice; and Brooks in my experience are very well made and especially durable, compared to other brands.

These are the perfect walking and running shoes for me. I have issues with other brands that squeeze my toes together, regardless of the shoe size. These shoes have a roomy toe box that allow my toes to fully splay with each step. They are very light and comfortable, and have just the right amount of cushion for prolonged activity.

What is particularly nice about this shoe is that it comes in narrow widths. Because of the mesh top I won’t wear it if it’s wet or cold. It offers good arch support and a solid heel. Very comfortable!!

I go to Orange Theory - a High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) exercise class - about 5 times per week. There is a combination of rowing, running, and weights / agility. I think these shoes are excellent for Orange Theory, as their stack height (height of the midsole foam) is reasonable, there are some guardrails to provide stability, and enough cushion for 3 to 5 mile runs on the treadmill.Surprisingly, finding a good pair of shoes for the rowing machine can be difficult. If the shoe has too much foam and overly cushioned, one loses a lot of force in the leg drive due to the cushioning in the shoe. The Adrenalines have a reasonable amount of foam and the foam is a bit more firm, so not as much energy is lost in the shoes during the row.The shoes have "guard rails" around the heel of the shoe. The idea behind these guard rails is to limit the heel movement if one overpronates (role in) or supinates (roll out). These guard rails really help with agility exercises that have a lot of lateral movement, keeping the foot planted in the shoe. I have tried agility exercises in running shoes that have high stack heights and limited lateral stability and I;m always afraid of rolling an ankle.The shoes are designed for running and they are comfortable for the treadmill. I can easily do 3 to 5 mile runs with no issues.The fit is ample - the toebox is pretty wide. The feel of the foam is firm, rather than squishy like some of the new foams. There's plenty of rubber on the outsole, so they won't wear out quickly.The only con with these shoes is the foam is the tried and trued EVA (essentially Styrofoam and Elmer's Glue), which I find tends to break down faster than some of the new foams like Adidas Boost, Nike React, and Saucony's Powerrun .

Nice shoes... perfect fit...VERY comfortable! After reading some other reviews left by others, I wasn't sure if I was making the right choice or not, however, they feel great! The arch support is very nice, not over bearing, just right. I am a retired mailman after 32 years and thousands of miles on these feet. I usually have problems finding shoes that fit this nice hopefully they will hold up as well! I am tempted to get another pair, these are so nice!
