This is my 4th pair if Adrenaline running shoes. They have treated right for years. I do suggest buying a 1/2 size larger. I'm not sure why someone would put a bit of turquoise trim on a guy's shoe but not that big of a deal.

My husband loved these shoes. I loved the fact that I ordered them for him, and he had the in his hands within 3 days! Zappos never lets me down - have made many purchases since 2008, and hope to continue to do so!

I bought these for running. I like Brooks, New Balance and Saucony shoes and these are as good or better as past models. They are excellent shoes, and I do like them in black.

These Brooks help to make my run smooth, with perfect support and comfort. I love these kicks and even use them for aerobics, lol, even though these are my running shoes. Which, btw, I ordered too large initially and Zappos went above and beyond to replace them hassle free!!

My podiatrist actually recommended these shoes to me and I am glad she did. I find this Brooks width and the standard Ascis suit me well but the Brooks are much better wearing than the ASICS I had. I liked these so much I purchased a second pair.

These shoes are fantastic. I only wear Brooks running shoes because the fit is perfect - no "breaking in" needed. They are true to size, and I can put them on right out of the box and they are immediately comfortable. They wear well time & time again. I currently own 7 pair!

Great shoes. I run about 30 miles a week and these shoes take care of my feet every step of the way. They run a bit small so I usually get a full size bigger. Other than that I have never had a complaint. This is my third pair of Adrenaline shoes.

I purchased these after a friend's recommendation, because I was having knee pain from 5-10 mile runs with a pair of Brooks Ghosts. I no longer have any knee pain. The additional padding and extra arch support were exactly what I needed.

This shoe is a wonderful fit! As an overpronator it offers great support for my arches as well as being very comfortable on long training runs (16+ miles). I hope to continue on using Brooks well into the future for my running treads!

First, the Brooks GTS 12 is like running barefoot...light, silent and efficient. First day out I ran my 3 mile course a minute and a half faster than usual. Pumped! Then, you just can't beat Zappos...with a website that let me discover my overpronation, guided me to the right product for me and my budget and quick, free delivery. I can't say enough good things.

Very pleased with the shoe. High quality product with attention to detail - like the lace eyelets on the tongue - Even came with an extra set of laces (blue) that matches the soles. I have a dual purpose for them - primary use is a workout shoe (3 day a week Boot Camp) with a secondary use for running. Before working out in them I wore them around the house for a couple days to break them in - this was very helpful as it took my feet a bit to get used to them. After the break-in they were great. As it relates to my workout it has also taken a bit to get used to them. With the high arch and more traditional runner design, sprints with quick turns and change of direction feel a little unstable. Like with everything else I am settling in with the Adrenalines and overall I am very pleased. I have not had a chance to run in them yet but will report back once I do.

I love Zappos! When my kids and husband put shoes on their wish list I say yay, because I know Zappos will get them here the next day, free shipping! My son is a runner and loved his shoes. My other son wanted a pair of shoes and the size was unavailable. My Zappos person looked around and found some for me, excellent!

I bought this for my son for Christmas on my girlfriend recommendation. I was not disappointed. The shoe arrived the next day and the shoe is nice and very well made. My son has flat feet and I was told Brooks shoes are the best for this and my son said he can tell the difference between this shoe and the regular shoes he normally gets. I am a new Brooks buyer and I have never had a problem with Zappos.

I bought these shoes for my husband, who admittedly is not picky. I bought them for their touted arch support. My husband says he could really feel the support for his arches, like it was "pushing upwards." I take that as a good sign of proper support.

Excellent training and distance racing shoe! This is my 3rd pair of this Brooks model and I couldn't be happier! As a half and full distance Ironman Triathlete, I go through 2 pairs of running shoes per year. After I retire a pair from training/racing duties, they become my everyday shoes and have held up exceptionally well. Great construction and style. I do recommend being properly fitted by a trained running specialist, but once you've done this, Brooks seems to be very consistent in size, fit, and quality - you are getting what you pay for. As for Zappos, always great service and freaky fast delivery!

I have been wearing Brooks for about 10 years for running and just "everyday" shoes, because they fit my feet much better than Nikes do. These Adrenaline GTS 12's are very comfortable as well. They, oddly enough, were not as comfortable initially as the GTS 10's I had prior. Hence the reason for only a 4 star rating there. These were a bit stiffer initially but with some regular wear they are getting better. I love the style and they keep my feet stable when I run or play other sports in them. These run small so I always order a full size larger than what I wear in Nikes or other shoes. I would recommend them if you are a fan of Brooks like I am.

Bought these for my son who runs cross country and track to replace his previous GTS12s. He loves them and these were much less expensive than purchasing them at the local running store. They arrived quickly. No fuss-no muss!

Great shoe and comfortable. My son is a die hard Asics fan, but he likes the fit of this shoe better. It's really comfortable were his first words when he tried it on.

I bought these at a running store after going through New balance, asics, nike, and more brands. There is no need to go back. These are excellent shoes. I tried running a few times over the years and after a few weeks splints is always what stopped me, not with these shoes. They are still going months later. I over-pronate a little and this was the solution. They are not as floaty/cushioned as others but I like feeling the road. I bought the GTXs today (they are mostly the same, waterproof) for the more rainy/snowy/and trail conditions hopefully they are as good. They definitely look better in green/black.

Finally a shoe that works for my son's hard to fit, and hard to please foot. Made for, and so comfortable for wide flat feet.

I usually don't need wide shoes. These were an exception. The regular width was crunching my pinkie toe causing sharp pains. The wide shoe fixed this problem and I like these shoes a lot. Very comfortable and light.
