I have 2 pairs. Brooks adrenaline 23 for almost everything and brooks glycerin 22 I bought as a treat for long / easy runs. I’ll likely stick with these and replace as needed with the same

The Adrenaline 23s were trash. I hated them. The 24 is sooooo much better. I haven’t tried the 25 yet though. The last time I tried on the Kayanos they were too squishy for my liking. I definitely recommend going to a running store and trying them all. And get a gait analysis to make sure stability is really what you need.

I over pronate and have used the GTS 23 for 700km now, I love it, I used to get bad achilles pain with neutral shoe and I can do long distances without issue on the GTS. I haven't quite retired them yet, but have started using the Asics GT 2000-13 as their replacement and nearly 100km in and also great for me so far.

I got brooks glycerine GTS 20 for my pronation but they don't seem to help at all, on the contrary, they even seem to push my feet more to the inside rather than the outside. Before I had the adrenaline GTS22 and they were good; but when I bough the Adrenaline GTS 23 they were also not so good. I have a pretty extreme case of overpronation so I do need good shoes (I also use a support sole). https://preview.redd.it/anhkj2d6cyxg1.jpg?width=3546&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3782841f31463c1d1a6da7e11a907b11af765d3a

I am an over-pronator and have been doing most of my long runs (15/20km) in a pair of Brooks Adrenaline GTS 23s with no issue. I got fitted for them in my local running store 18 months ago, they were incredible and never blistered. I recently upgraded to the GTS 25s online (I had a discount code). Same size. Same brand. Same style - they rubbed like crazy and I got the same blisters you’ve shown. I went to my local shop again - they said loads of people have had issues with the 25s, and he fitted me for a new pair of Saucony Guide 19s. They’ve been amazing, no rubbing or blistering. If you over pronate, you’ll need a decent stability shoe and I highly highly recommend seeking out a decent running shop and getting a fitting. I tried body glide, I tried plasters - you can get thru it, but it will be painful. Getting a shoe that fits your foot and stride will definitely be worth it!

I wear the Adrenaline 23s for same reason, injury prevention and I just got the 24s and omg, they are like marshmallows on my feet! I ordered a second pair to wear as my everyday shoe too! Good luck, I hope they do you well!
