How These Shoes Should Fit +
A proper fit makes all the difference in comfort and performance. Here's what to look for:
- Toe room: Leave about a thumbnail's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.
- Midfoot: The shoe should hug your midfoot snugly and securely—comfortable, not tight.
- Heel: A little heel slip is normal, especially in a new shoe—it typically settles as the shoe breaks in. A heel-lock lacing technique can help lock it in if needed.
- Platform: Your foot should sit squarely on top of the shoe's base, with no part of your foot spilling over the edge.
Sizing Notes for the Adrenaline GTS 25
The Adrenaline GTS 25 fits true to size for most runners. A few real-world notes from fitting these in our store:
- High-volume / wider feet: D width may feel snug—go to 2E. If you've worn 2E in past Brooks models, stay there.
- Narrow heel: The heel cup is well-shaped but firm. If you have a particularly slim heel, our staff can show you a runner's loop lacing technique that locks it in.
- Coming from the GTS 23 or GTS 22: The GTS 25 fits very similarly—if you owned the GTS 23, your size carries over.
- Coming from a Hoka Arahi or Brooks Glycerin GTS 23: The Adrenaline GTS 25 runs slightly more accommodating in the forefoot than the Arahi, and similar to the Glycerin GTS.
- Sock recommendation: A medium-weight crew or no-show running sock—OS1st Wicked Comfort or Balega Hidden Comfort both pair well. Cotton athletic socks will undermine the fit.

Frequently Asked Questions +
Is the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 25 good for wide feet?
Yes. It comes in Narrow (B), Regular (D), Wide (2E), and Extra Wide (4E) for men, making it one of the most accommodating stability shoes on the market. Customers with bunions, hammertoes, or simply high-volume forefeet do well in the 2E.
How does the Adrenaline GTS 25 compare to previous versions?
The GTS 25 succeeds the GTS 24. The most notable change is a new 10mm heel-to-toe drop (down from the 12mm the Adrenaline carried for years) along with a redesigned heel bevel for a smoother transition. It also adds a bit more cushioning underfoot. It continues to use nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 foam and the GuideRails support system. If you're coming from an older model, expect a familiar fit with a slightly lower, smoother-rolling ride.
Is the Adrenaline GTS 25 good for half marathon training?
Yes — it's one of the most popular shoes on training plans for first-time half marathoners. It handles weekday miles, long runs, and recovery runs comfortably. For race day, faster runners may want a lighter shoe.
Is the Adrenaline GTS 25 good for severe overpronation?
It's designed for mild to moderate overpronation. If you've been told you have severe overpronation or you're recovering from a posterior tibial tendon issue, you may need a true motion-control shoe like the Brooks Beast GTS. Come in for a gait analysis if you're not sure where you fall.
How long does the Adrenaline GTS 25 last?
Expect 300 to 500 miles of useful life depending on your weight, gait, and surface. Heavier runners and runners who exclusively train on concrete should plan toward the 300-mile end; lighter runners on asphalt and treadmill may stretch beyond 500.
Can I use the Adrenaline GTS 25 on trails?
Not recommended. The outsole isn't built for loose terrain or technical trails. It's fine on hard-packed dirt paths and gravel, but for anything beyond that, look at the Brooks Cascadia.
Is the Adrenaline GTS 25 good for walking and standing all day?
Yes — it's one of our most recommended shoes for nurses, teachers, retail workers, and anyone on their feet for long shifts. The supportive 10mm drop and DNA LOFT v3 cushioning take pressure off the heels and Achilles for long days.

How does the Adrenaline GTS 25 compare to the Adrenaline GTS 23? Brooks skipped the "24" number and went straight to GTS 25. The biggest change is the midsole foam — the GTS 25 uses DNA LOFT v3, a nitrogen-infused EVA that's softer and slightly more energetic than the standard DNA LOFT in the GTS 23. The GuideRails geometry was also refined for a smoother transition. Same fit, same drop.
