It's easy to become shoe-obsessed when styles you love are on sale. When you can find a classic pair of white leather sneakers for under $100 or even handsome Italian-made Chelsea boots that won't break the bank, it's easy to load up the shoe closet when savings are on your side. That's especially true for running shoes—the comfortable, functional, athleisure-loving kicks that your arches just can't get enough of. And recently, one of the best models from Brooks just took a whopping discount.
Right now, the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 22 is on sale for just under $90—a 36% discount on the original price of $140. These running shoes have earned over 1,300 five-star ratings, making them the second-most popular pair of Brooks running shoes at DSW. They're available in 10 subtle and vibrant colors and come in sizes 8 to 14.
Brooks' Adrenaline GTS 22 is a road running shoe with a little extra support that's perfect for 5Ks, neighborhood walks, and everything in between. With its 12mm heel-to-toe drop, a natural forward motion is promoted with each step to provide a comfortable running experience. Enhancing that comfort is the ventilated mesh upper and the brand's well-cushioned foam midsole that's soft and shock-absorbing. There's also a grippy rubber sole with a specifically segmented tread pattern to provide traction and durability in critical locations.
The "GTS" in the name of this running shoe stands for "Go-To Support." This means that the shoe has been built with the brand's "Guide Rails," a design feature that moderately increases stability for overpronation and flat feet. You'll notice the lateral lines along the sides of this shoe, which are indicative of that support. Brooks says to think of them like bumpers on a bowling lane, but it's a way of making sure a foot is properly cradled inside the shoe. If you don't need as much support, it's worth checking out the neutral Brooks Ghost 15.
The Adrenaline GTS series is a consistent bestseller for Brooks that's loved by shoppers for its support, longevity, and thorough comfort. They've also received a Seal of Acceptance from the American Podiatric Medical Association, which explains why many shoppers say they've found relief wearing these shoes. "This is my first pair of Adrenaline GTS. I believe I have found my favorite shoe," one shopper said. "My feet feel so much better and pain-free after wearing these than my other type of Brooks."
It seems to be a very common theme among reviewers. "These are awesome for folks with plantar fasciitis," a shopper said. "The shoe provides great support for my legs and allows the pain that I was having in my feet to go away," another said. One shopper said they'd been through the wringer with other brands until they came upon this pair. "The Adrenaline 22 GTS are great walking shoes…I’ve tried dozens of shoes but none are as ideal as these," they said.
But runners have been impressed with the Adrenaline GTS as well, saying they provide enough support for marathons. "Love these shoes," one shopper said. "I buy two of each year's version now—one to train in and one to run the Chicago Marathon in. Great shoes, very comfy with the support I need for my high arches and bad pronation."
Since the newest model has been released, shoppers are swooping in to get the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 22 on sale—that's why some sizes in select colors aren't available anymore. We're expecting this shoe to continue to sell out, so if you've been looking for a good supportive running or walking shoe with a proven track record, get one of these today while sizes are still available.
