Brooks GTS -
Sneaker fits awesome as always. Have been wearing for the last 6 years and can’t change because they fit like a sock and are the most comfortable for my heavier weight. Not to mention I get them from the best online company there is...not just for shoes...but any online company.

Another Great Brooks Shoe -
I have been wearing Brooks Addiction 7.5 EE. Decided to try the Adrenaline GTS8. Both are great, but I really like this shoe for running/jogging.

GTS-8 -
Excellent shoe. I run 12 miles weekly and need a shoe that doesn't hurt my feet. Brooks GTS-8 are excellent running shoes. They require no break-in and don't feel stiff. They are light and feel extremely comfortable whatever the distance.

Flat, Fat & Feeling GREAT!
I have worked for the same company for 24 years and spending 10-12 each working day on my feet. I'm a big guy 230 Lbs. I also have flat feet and have had plantar fascitiis in the past two years. These "Brooks Adrenaline™ GTS 8's" are like walking on clouds even though I walk on concrete floor all day. I can’t believe how much better my back & feet feel! They are light weight, cool and refreshingly airy. Zappos! packed & shipped them to me NEXT DAY-FREE yeah! I recommend the shoe & the company100%!

The GTS 8 does a good job in accommodating my narrow width foot, is light weight and comfortable. I would recommend it to anyone in search of a well made and comfortable running/walking shoe.

Same as it ever was. Outstanding Shoe! If you've worn the GTS before, you don't need this review. This is the latest version of the same bullet-proof, consistently-sized GTS that has carried me through seven marathons. I'm on my fifth pair, starting with the GTS 4. My usual size fit like a glove and ran well right out of the box. Everything I've come to expect.

I used to wear NB only until I purchased my first pair of Adrenalines about two years ago. I tried NB recently again and, after two wearings, ordered this pair from Zappos. I couldn't be happier. Well, I'm not real fond of the shiny pieces on the sides (I'm too old for that kind of stuff!). Bottom line, they're comfortable, great support, allow great airflow, etc. I recommend them for anyone who wants a little more comfort. I would also like to recommend Zappos. I purchase almost all I can online. Zappos is one of the best vendors I've dealt with. They ship fast, have great communications, and the best prices. This is my third purchase from Zappos and I plan on many more.

I am recovering from broken metatarsals (4th and 5th). After removing my cast I found it difficult to walk in any of my shoes but glad to have these. They are the most comfortable shoes I have. I have started running after 8 months. My doc tells me to take it easy but with these shoes, I feel comfortable. I purchased another pair but those shoes made my feet hurt even after almost a year in recovery. I switched back to the Adrenaline 8. A great shoe, comfort and style! I am buying another pair before they stop making them. The only thing I think that could be improved is the lining. It seems to wear at the back near the Achilles tendon area.

Great Walking Show -
This is my second pair of Brooks Adrenaline GTS shoes. GTS 8 is more comfortable than their previous GTS 7 model. I'm a heavy person, and wore the GTS 7 for one year before I notice it breaking down. Great shoe...

Great shoe!!! I tried the Brooks Trace 8s, not so great! They wore fine for 3 miles, after that, Blaah! Blisters and sore feet! I had a pair of Adrenaline 7s before and loved them. But after about 6 months they were done! So I decided to try Adrenaline 8s. Let me tell you if you have or had a pair of Adrenaline 7s before and liked them, you'll love the new 8s. Not much change at all in the shoe, they feel and run just like the 7s. I do think that they breathe a little better that the 7s though. I'm curious to see if they last longer than 6 months too. I would definitely buy this shoe again when this pair wears out!

Bring on the Brooks!
I got fitted for this shoe five years ago at a sporting goods store and it dramatically corrected my supination problems and almost immediately eliminated my knee and hip pain. I've run five marathons in Brooks Adrenaline and I see no reason to change. The shoe is so consistent, in fact, that I just ran an 18-mile training run in a brand new pair without any problems.
I recently started using orthotics, and the shoe works perfectly with them. And I'm not sure if this is true with other running shoes, but I need to run in a wide width with these and I don't wear wide shoes anywhere else.
My only complaint: The shoe is so breathable that it makes my feet cold when I run in winter.

Better Than GTS 7 -
I almost didn't buy these because of all the complaints (on other sites, not so much here). However, after 500 miles on my GTS 7, I had no choice. For me at least, these fit a lot better and the styling is sleeker. The sizing stayed the same for me. I use them for long distance walking.

Great shoe, but the arch support is ok. My doctor warned me against shoes that do not have a solid base. Still I couldn't resist the look of this shoe in all black.

As good as the GTS7 -
I ran the 2007 Marine Corps Marathon in the GTS7s and they provided great comfort and performance. When I went to purchase a new pair, I was not happy to learn that they were discontinued. I took a chance and bought the GTS8s. They seem to be just as good, so far. I was even complimented on them the first day I wore them to the gym!

Good value -
I went to this shoe from Brook's Beast. It is a little lighter but the fit is excellent for wide feet that need room mid-foot area. Support is good and so far I am really impressed.

Great shoe, love the black!
I've worn Trance and Adrenaline for many years and have always been greatly satisfied with them. I'm ecstatic that they added black to the lineup (actually added it in the GTS 7 version before this) ... it looks cool and stays 'clean' looking much longer than white-based shoes. Kudos to Brooks for great products!

Delighted -
Great buying experience, no reason to visit and deal with annoyed salespeople. Originally order another pair which didn't fit properly, called, asked for an exchange, no questions asked, my new shoes were delivered the next day even before I had returned the other pair.
