Replacement for Adrenaline 24, hate the 25
I have been wearing Adrenalines for the last few years. Had maybe 6 pair total. 23s were nice and I actually loved the 24s but I know unsure not the consensus. They fit really well and we're very comfortable to me.
I consistently walked on the treadmill with then 3-4 times a week for some 3.26 miles each time. I'm 280 pounds, have a higher arch and do not have a wide foot.
They finally wore down too much after 10 months. They caused me to get Achilles tendinitis, so it was time for a new pair.
I could no longer get the 24s and got the 25s and then a week later went back for a second pair for everyday use. They felt spongier/bouncier than the previous models. They were ok at first but eventually the outside of my right foot started to hurt and eventually it caused my Achilles to start to bother me again but on both feet. The podiatrist gave me an insole for my arch hoping that would bring more stability but my foot was under pronating even more.
Looking back I found that I never could get a good tightness on anything but my heel. The middle and front of my foot would slide from side to side too much. I completely wore down the outside of the shoe in the matter of a few months. It's easy too soft and isn't supporting my foot.The constant outside tendon of my foot being inflamed and the occasional Achilles discomfort is just too much.
I finally contacted Brooks and they are replacing them with a pair of Beasts and offered the ghost Max. Looking at things I'm going to ask if I can get the regular ghost instead because there seems like less of a complete change from my old 24s.
Anyone else like previous adrenaline models and/or the 24s specifically but hate the 25s. What have you switched to and have you tried the ghost or ghost Max as possible replacements?
I appreciate any input you may have.
