Customer Reviews Brooks Adrenaline™ GTS 12

Once I finally got down to what was an appropriate shoe for my foot, I looked for color options. As far as I know, I believe that Zappos.com is the only place you can purchase this colorway. They are great shoes thus far and not bad to look at either. I have gone through Mizuno Nirvana's and Inspire's, but these Brooks are the perfect blend of cushion and support.

I've used the Brooks Adrenaline GTS line since GTS 7 and this model just reconfirms my loyalty. Most other shoes cause pain from my feet to my knees to my back, but these are exactly what I need.

Another great addition to the GTS lineup. I have had the last three models and this one fits the same. Thanks Zappos for the great attention to detail.

Have worn these shoes beginning with the GTS 9 and always found them very comfortable. Unfortunately, they don't remain comfortable for as long as I would like considering the price, but not sure any of the competition would either. Love the fact I can get them in 4eeee as I have very wide feet. Zappos ships fast and free!

The shoes are comfortable. they tend to let me roll to the outside but overall a very comfortable shoes.

Maybe I bought these for the wrong reason, but I'm disappointed because I have the GTS 11 and they feel so comfortable. I knew right away when trying on the GTS 11's that they were the shoe for me. Not so with the 12's. They feel more rigid and less cushy than the GTS 11's. Now I feel like I'm stuck with them. I'm hoping they will eventually break in, but I don't remember having to break in my 11's at all. The 12's also feel like they have less arch support compared to the 11's.

This is my third set of GTS adrenalines. The fit is typical of this shoe - extremely comfortable throughout, which is what I've always loved about Brooks shoes. Just can't beat the fit and feel. For comparison with the previous 11's, they felt overly firm for the first few weeks, but then they broke in and were perfect. I ran for many miles in them, without any soreness, pains or aches anywhere. The 12's feel even better, perhaps a bit more snug. The ride is perfect right out of the box. The last feels slightly different however, as if theres a bit less under the heel and mid foot. After about a month, I've developed achilles tendonitis in both legs - something that never happened with previous Adrenalines. I've now had to stop running in them. So, I hope this doesn't happen when the 13's come along. This is pretty disappointing, because I've tried lots of shoes and brands over the years, and none measure up to the GTS.

I've worn Adrenalines since 2007, buying 3-4 pair a year. The Adrenaline 12 is much different from previous iterations. The sole feels thinner, there is less padding, and the heel slope seems flatter. My feet are very sore after a long run. If you wear a narrow, which I do, this shoe won't fit. When I lace up the Adrenaline 12s, the sides now touch and I can't get a tight fit. This didn't happen on previous models. I think the Brooks engineers, when removing padding and making a thinner sole, didn't take the greater volume into account, thus the true is no longer a real Narrow. I am sad to say that I am looking at other brands. I like Brooks, but the Adrenaline 12 is far outside what I have come to expect from that model.

I have bought the Adrenaline line since 2010 when I got into triathlons. This year, I bought the Zappos Edition. The sole is still great, stable and comfortable, but the material in the top of the shoe is total crap. It stretches as I tighten the laces and I have no stability when I run. I put just under 5 miles on the shoe, have ankle and knee pain.

Most comfortable running shoe I've owned. Inner sole seems to mold to your foot - excellent for people with flat feet.

I drive for UPS so I beat shoes into oblivion regularly. Expensive Nike Tailwinds lasted three weeks before the air blew on one section - terrible workmanship with great style equals a big ripoff. I go to athletic shoes during the summer months for cooling because my Keen boots are just too hot. My Asics have always been my go to default for quality,support, durability and price. These Brooks were suggested by a running shop (since I run half the day) and now I feel like I am cheating on my Asics - the Brooks are amazing! The first three days I came home and said if they do not get better I am sending them back - they were stiff and seemed lower on the ankle than my Asics. The next week was perfect and they have stayed that way for going on three months. It is not like running on marshmallows like my Freeruns on the weekend or squishy like my Asics get when they start to wear down almost like you are running in mud. They are firm enough to support and soft enough that my knee pain/shin splints have disappeared. They also show almost no signs of wear. I already bought a second pair and rotate them. I ordered half a size bigger and they fit perfectly. Great job, Brooks! Five years with Asics and you sold me. Four other drivers are already on them...

This is about my fifteenth pair of GTS Adrenalines, and they have consistantly given me the support and stability control for my running needs. I have completed nine marathons in this shoe and have never had a foot-related issue. Each generation of the shoe has maintained the same great fit and durability.

I purchased these shoes about a week ago. I wanted an all purpose sneaker I can use for everyday, running, and moderate trail hiking. I have been walking around in them the last few days to break them in, and I just went on my first run with them today for two miles and they are fantastic. Extremely comfortable and lightweight. Hopefully they will last a long time, and I expect they will as they seem very well constructed. I normally wear new balance, but I am not very happy with the color selections they have these days. I wear a 10.5 to 11, depending on the brand of shoe, and an 11 in these fit perfectly. All and all, fantastic shoe and quite stylish as well.

I bought the narrow. Usually narrow fits are not that narrow in other brands, but this shoe it is. I'm breaking them in, but so far so good! I would recommend to anyone who has some "skis" like I do.

I have fond memories of Brooks. When I was about 10 years old, my father took me to get baseball shoes, they were Brooks. Since then I guess I've been more into Nike and Tigers, but after trying these guys out, I am sticking with Brooks for running shoes. So comfortable, I didn't even need a shoe pad, it is great.

In 24 years of running, I honestly can't remember another pair of shoes that were so comfortable right out of the box. I run for basic fitness, logging 10-12 miles per week, and have depended on New Balance shoes for years. Seeing all the positive reviews of the Brooks Adrenaline on Zappos, I decided to switch it up and give them a try. I have to say, I love these shoes. They offer great support, ventilation and cushioning, and deserve bonus points for the little shoelace loop sewn onto the inside corner of the tongue, which prevents the tongue from constantly sliding to the outside of my foot.

At size 8 1/2 EEEE, these fit my odd size feet very well. What I like most is that the width is just right. I have a neutral gait and have put 100 miles or so on these with no aches or pains. These aren't perfect but, for me, are the best I've had! The Brooks Dyad 7 in the same size/width felt more like a EE width. (returned them) I'm a 57 year old male, 5'7", 195 lbs, walk/jog 20-25 miles per week. No health or joint issues, besides eating to much. I may try the Asics Nimbus next if I can afford the price. For now, these are great!

Great running shoe with great comfort. The first pair I purchased were a little tight but the great customer support at Zappos had another pair to me in no time! Awesome place to buy!

I stand on my feet all day on concrete floors. I overpronate greatly; therefore, I would go home at night almost in tears my feet and legs hurt so bad, since these shoes (my 2nd pair thus far) I can stand all day and come home and still feel like working around the house. Great shoes, I totally love them.

My physical therapist first introduced to the Brooks Adrenaline GTS about five years ago. I'm not a runner, but my arches have collapsed as I've aged. I love these shoes. I wear them every day. They generally last about a year before I replace them. They are extremely comfortable, very light, and have helped eliminate the pain in my feet.

Came back to Brooks GTS after a hiatus to Nike. Glad I did, as these feel better on my feet. Running in them is very comfortable.

This is the best running shoe I ever purchased. My doctor recommended exercise 30 minutes a day. Now my feet is last thing I worry about.

Great pair of reliable running shoes. There is a small loop hold on the outer side of either tongue with helps keep everything in place. These shoes look great, feel great, and provide a decent amount of stability while running. I'm an intermediate runner and just started running seriously in the beginning of this year. These shoes have not disappointed me. I've already run close to 100 miles since I purchased these shoes nearly twos this ago. No complaints.

I am not a runner, but I do like to wear running shoes when I plan to do a lot of walking. I bought these in preparation for a visit to a major theme park in Orlando, FL because I knew a lot of walking would be involved. After wearing them for 5 days straight, I can say that my feet felt great! I would definitely recommend these to anyone looking for a comfortable, supportive shoe for a wide foot.

I ordered a half size larger than my regular shoe size, since I wear a thick sock and insert ortho for walking. It is light and fits very well. Zappos delivered it overnight.
