While on the shopping mood, I updated my running kicks at lunch today. I left the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 9 with the *boy* in DC so I didn't have to lug back and forth, but with 300+ miles, I was ready for an upgrade.
Truth be told, I was never 100% happy with the GTS 9 version . I hate to say that, as the marathon magic did happen in them, however, the ITB problems started soon after, and the little things about the shoe never felt 'right.' They always felt a little stiff, rubbed my Achilles, and I just didn't love them - as I had loved the GTS 8 for the years I had been wearing them.
With the GTS10 release and reviews, it sounds like Brooks has listened to feedback. Here's to hoping the sizing still works and I am cushy and happy again as I continue to up the miles - 4 runs and 15 miles last week!!
I WISH I could wear Brooks because I really love the company, but the shoes just didn't fit my feet quite right when I tried them.
