Brooks Adrenaline GTS 7

Adidas Gigaride A3

Adidas Gigaride A3 has an outsole that maintains integrity regardless of temperature. The shoes come with a comfortable seam-free fit technology and a molded EVA sockliner. The forefoot is built for long-lasting luxury and functionality.

Brooks Adrenaline GTS 7

The Brooks Adrenaline GTS 7 is crafted for runners who over pronate while running. It provides a very firm arch support and lots of cushioning for comfort.

Design and Style

The A3 Gigaride look stylish and cool for streetwear as well as running or for the gym.
Many runners feel that these shoes are good looking.

Durability

Many runners commented that the shoes last as expected and do not lose their cushioning as they age. This is due to Adidas's special technology and seam-free manufacture.
Many runners commented that the Brooks have good durability. The good durability is especially felt in the heel area and the shoes last for a relatively long time even when running on hard surfaces. For some runners, the shoes last for about 500 miles � which is quite a lot more than normal shoes should.

Low Cost

The A3 gigaride are very cheap.
For most people, the Brooks Adrenaline seem like a very good bargain.

Support

The shoes provide very good support for most people, yet they manage to still be comfortable. Many runners who experienced injuries or tenderness in the knees, ankles or feet feel that the shoes support them well and prevent additional damage. Note that for runners with higher arches, orthodics or inserts may be required.
Runners with pronating feet usually find these shoes to have very good support and that they help stabilize their feet. The shoes are considered supportive for high-arched pronating feet, but some runners will still need orthodics. If you do, you'll find that the insoles of the shoes are removable, and that makes insertion of orthodics very simple. Some health professionals recommend this shoe to their clients.

Lightweight

While not as lightweight as other models, most users feel that the Gigaride are lightweight and good for training.
The Brooks Adrenaline weigh 9.5oz (269g) � which is very lightweight.

Comfort

For most runners, the shoes are very comfortable, and provide good cushioning. The material they are made of is breathable - this is important to prevent overheating of the feet. Many runners who had hill spurs or knee and lower leg injuries feel that the Gigaride's cushioning reduces impact on the knees. Many runners commented that the shoe has a narrow structure, and that it fits quite tight. As a result, for feet that are wider than regular, you might want to look for wider models. Only a few runners feel that there is not enough arch support or that shock absrption is not ideal, and some commented that the structure of the sole may not make these shoes suitable for non-running activities.
Many runners comment that the shoes are good for people with slight over-pronation. Most runners feel that the shoes are quite roomy in the toe box, so much that a few even complained that there is extra room there. They Brooks Adrenaline are usually a very good fit for runners with feet that are a little wider at the front. The shoes have very good cushioning and shock absorption, allowing users to run on very hard surfaces with no problems. A few runners commented that the shoes make them walk straight (which is a good thing). Many runners felt that the shoes are extremely comfortable from day one, without having to "break them in". They are also a good fit for runners with low arches and those who experience knee-knocking when they run.

Best running shoe ever!

(Score 5/5)

I absolutely love this shoe! They are soo comfortable and look great on. I have flat feet so I have a hard time finding running shoes that fit me, infact I havent bought a pair of running shoes in almost 3 years because I havent found any that fit right. I tried this brand on at a department store and loved them, but not the price. So when I found these on amazon I had to have them and am sooo glad that I did!!! Recommend them to anyone and everyone!!!

Treadmill friendly

(Score 5/5)

I love these shoes. I was always an avid outdoor runner however due to my current location (deployed overseas) I'm unable to run outside. I have tried mutliple times with various shoes to run on a treadmill but always found the constant pounding to become to much for my knees. These shoes are perfect! I gave them a test run on the treadmill this morning and was pleasantly suprised by the support and additional "bounce" they offer. I just got them yesterday and am already shopping for another pair!

overall very good

(Score 4/5)

Size seems a little small compared to previous generation adidas running shoes I've own. Excellent flexibility and road feel - very responsive and cushioned. If you prefer a firmer feel (e.g. like Asics cushioned shoes), this will feel too squishy. Very attractive design. Laces are strangely short, but adequate (typically my laces are much too long). Nice improvement over previous generations of the air cushioning Adidas - design of the sole no longer allows rocks to get stuck in bottom of shoe.

Overall very good. Price/value and smaller sizing were criteria that led to lack of an "excellent" rating.

Great running shoe but why is price way up?

(Score 5/5)

The double-edged sword of rating a product highly: you help out fellow shoppers but then the vendor raises the price. I bought this exact shoe 1-1/2 yrs ago for $45 w/free Super-Saver shipping. Now the shoe costs $73 + shipping? Maybe we should all keep our mouths shut. And what's w/the different pricing for different sizing? Sounds like discrimination to me. Could be a federal offense.

I've given it 5 stars to see how much higher the price rises.

Awesome shoe!

(Score 5/5)

I have been wearing these shoes for 6 years now. Every year I buy the updated model of the same shoe. Once you find a running shoe that fits there is no reason to ever shop around again. Before spending the money though, I would suggest hitting a running store and having them evaluate your feet to tell you what type of shoe you need. A good fit is important to help you stay injury free. Once they find you a good fit you can just re-buy that same shoe for years to come. Initially it might be a bit more expensive as you will feel obligated to buy the shoe from the specialty running shop. But,for following purchases you can just hop online and buy the shoe from the cheapest vendor. This has been a great shoe for me!

Good overall running shoe

(Score 4/5)

I've tried many running shoes (I run marathons although would call myself an amateur runner), and by trial and error and advice of other runners found this shoe. Brooks Adrenaline is an all-around good shoe. Good support without being too tight through the toes. For long distance running I get 1 size larger than my regular shoes - I wear 6.5 and get 7.5 for running. I tie the laces all the way to the end to avoid my foot slipping forward and banging my toes. The GTS7 is an older model but got this for $30 less than the most recent model and honestly I haven't found they have changed much so it is a good value.
