I am a casual runner, especially as a mom of 3, finding time to run is difficult. I have always loved this brand of shoes in the past, they are great for support, especially as someone who has aches and pains with age. I really enjoyed these Brooks, Adrenaline GTS 24 GTX, I thought they were comfortable and breathable. The support/cushion is great and one of my first runs back after baby number 3 felt great! I run around the neighborhood and sometimes sidewalks and roads aren't in the best shape, lots of cracks and uneven spots. When running in these shoes I felt that the cushion helped to absorb some of the uneven changes, which means I'm less likely to fall or roll an ankle. I also felt there was some bounce, making my runs feel better. When I first took the shoes out of the box, I was worried because of the height, that they would feel heavy, but not at all! I have been trying to get back into the habit of running and have been able to take about 5 runs and they are still in good shape. These are definitely my new go to running shoes. I have use them in the rain and they had great traction. One draw back I did notice is that the shoes do squeak a little bit. This doesn't bother me, because I only wear them for running, so I am not wearing them daily or indoors. However if you are planning on making these shoes your everyday shoes, that may be something that you find annoying. Overall these shoes are flexible, lightweight, and super comfortable. I look forward to many future runs in these shoes!
