Finally A Shoe That Works For ME!
I am a difficult fit with only 6.5 EE, plus a very high arch and a high instep. These shoes were a dream come true, although I did order a size too big and had to return them and I still need a custom insole, but that is alright. Still, I received the new ones in 24 hours and they fit great... right out of the box. It is a true miracle to me. And the person who did my return was so helpful and courteous. Keep up the good work. Your company is one in a million and I will gladly come here again for more. I have already recommended the shoes and the company to 5 different people and it hasn't been 3 days yet. I am thrilled. Thank you so much.

I'm a new runner, and these shoes have been terrific - plenty of support, lightweight, comfortable immediately. They run a half size small.

No more pain -
I am a Group Fitness Instructor and teach a lot of step. In the past, I've been a faithful Nike customer when it comes to my shoes. My feet need a lot of cushion in the forefoot for teaching high-intensity step. The Brooks Adrenaline are wonderful on the feet. I've had them for a month now, and they still perform just as well as the first time I wore them (I teach an average of eight classes a week). They are the first shoes I've found that keep my feet from hurting during class.

Best walking shoe I ever owned!
I am a middle-aged woman who likes to walk a lot. I've noticed that lately my arches turn slightly inward causing me a lot of pain after walking. I researched the web for a sneaker that would provide better support without compromising appearance. Well let me say I have found my walking shoe! The Brooks Adrenaline GTS 8 solved all my problems. The first time I walked in them I knew I had found a new friend. I am hooked, sold and truly grateful to have found. They absorb impact quite well in the urban area that I live. My feet have more bounce and stability and most important- no more pain! I might add a big thank you to Zappos for providing free shipping and an extra early delivery.

Good shoe for working out -
This is my second pair of the same model, and I love it for working out. I run either on the street on treadmill, and its good support for that, or the elliptical, plus all around gym use. Comfortable, cushioned, lightweight. I wear a 10-1/2 AA so finding any shoe is hard enough. Thanks, Brooks, for keeping it narrow...and to Zappos, always, you're great!

Brooks Durability -
This is the second time I have purchased Brooks' shoes. The first time was a cold turkey experience since I had never heard of this brand. I bought them at a local athletic shoe store and wore them the next day and every day after that. I put them to the test immediately as we spent the next five days sightseeing in and around Washington, D.C. There was no breaking in time. COMFORT FROM THE START! I have been wearing other brands, but, when I heard that I could get them ordered from Zappos, I went to their website. I researched the information about all the famous name brands and how they were constructed for the most common foot conditions. The only shoe brand that gave me information about foot problems was Brooks. So, I ordered them and they were shipped to me in three days. It is really easy for me to say that doing business without having to leave my home was great.

Brooks Adrenaline GTS 8 -
I really LOVE this shoe. I liked the GTS 6, did not like the GTS 7- I have tried other brands and I love the stability, the fit and the cushioning- I am a slower, older and heavier female runner- the only disadvantage is the lining on the inside by the ankle bone wears out faster than the sole of the shoe. I tried to buy other brands but I have always been the happiest with this shoe. And, it is priced competitively.

Brook's Adrenaline are awesome!
I have foot pain which resolves immediately when I wear these shoes. It is amazing! These are wonderful shoes! I will never buy another brand of athletic shoes, but Brooks. They have the moderate stability I need since I tend to pronate and they have good arch support. True to size, extremely comfortable, very lightweight, and I love the style.

Brooks good for flat foot - overpronator -
I had these shoes before and loved them. I purchased this style because it is good for a person who overpronates or has a flat foot. I order all my running shoes about 1/2 size to 1 size larger as feet swell during exercise.

Bought these with high expectations of finally finding the perfect shoe for my "moist" feet... sadly after 2-3 months of use (in total) the shoes started leaking water through the special membrane. First only one shoe, after 1-2 months, now both. I have never noticed any cooling effect from the membrane anyway, no matter how hard I wanted them to work.

Still the best fit -
I've been wearing Brooks Adrenaline for years and they are still the best fitting shoe for a long narrow foot. I can always count on them being narrow enough without slipping in the heels. The new light blue color is cool looking; I wear them not only to the gym but with jeans too. They are so comfortable it is hard to put on anything else. No break in needed; I wore these out of the box to a quilt show with no problems.

Nice but...
These shoes are true to size and width, but they are lacking in arch support and cushioning. If you want a shoe that won't hurt your feet during a run be prepared to pay extra for better inserts. As much as they cost you would think that Brooks would put more effort into the insert they put in their shoes.

Can't believe it!
After 17 years of running I was heartbroken to think I would have to quit because of terrible knee pain-the kind you can no longer run through. I couldn't do stairs at all, and some days I could hardly walk. I saw an orthopedic doctor for my knees and became even more discouraged. He told me to take up other forms of exercise. You just don't tell that to a runner. After a horrible summer of pain I went to a foot doctor, and he told me that my knees were fine. My feet were the problem. He fitted me with some sort of wedge insert that he made and the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 8 shoe. I have worn the Saucony Grid Hurricanes in a 9.5 for as long as I can remember. Too wide. He put me in a 10 narrow. From the very first run with my new shoes I have had no knee pain in a month. UNBELIEVEABLE. Besides that I took at least 30 seconds off every mile. I feel like I am being pushed by the wind. I wear them all day-at home and at work. (I'm always on my feet.) Last night I ran in the rain and they got soaked, so today (for the first time) I took the wedge thingys out and put them in another pair of shoes. Big mistake. I had lower back pain all day. These shoes are a medical miracle in my eyes. I was ready to quit running after 17 years until I found these shoes.
