Review on Men's Athletic Shoes: Brooks Adrenaline in Alloy Grey and Black by Robert Robertson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Well stitched and supportive - are the laces too short?

I became a fan of Brooks sneakers (sneakers) This is my first pair of Adrenaline GTS. I like light colored sneakers (my wife doesn't) and when I was looking for a new pair I wanted something supportive first and if they were in a light color it would help me decide. They are well done. It's not the lightest running shoe, but the construction makes it worth the weight. Ankle support is good. The fit is great and adapts to every foot width. I have a problem. I need to use orthotics to support my arches. My orthopedic insoles fit very well in the shoes. They lift the foot in the shoe but create more volume. The laces can only be tied with my orthopedic insoles. The laces are maybe an inch or two shorter than previous Brooks shoes. I had to tinker around a bit to find a good compromise. I love these very comfortable and supportive shoes and for the gym or casual wear they are well made and supportive.

Pros
  • The comfort is amazing and the color combination looks beautiful
Cons
  • hard to crack
