Second pair of Adrenalines. Love them.I tried the Trance, but nowhere near as good. The Trance had more forefoot cushion, which I wish the Adrenaline had. However, the support and overall great feel of the Adrenaline is awesome. These support my 6'3", 225 lb frame perfectly.

Solid member of the Adrenaline GTS line for runners seeking a stability shoe. I've worn the predecessors since the days of the Adrenaline GTS 7, so I've seen many of these. It comes in widths - Narrow, Normal, Wide - which is unusual in itself, but greatly appreciated. The biggest change in this model is the lacing system is slightly offset to fit the last of your foot, not to create a symmetrical design. They do run small - I wear a full size larger than I measure in street shoes. Great shoe for me - I wear narrows and need a stability model!

Very satisfied with the shoes. Pros: 1. No funky arch support, just flat sole, and yet great cushioning. 2. Light weight. 3. Great ventilation. Cons: Can't think of any.

This is my sixth pair of Adrenalines. I walk about 25 miles per week and replace the shoes approximately every nine months. They are designed with a good arch support but I buy half a size larger and insert my own orthotics. These are the best shoes that I have found for comfort and support (I wear a 4E) plus a nice wide heel for lateral stability. Zappos is the best price that I have found.

I have been wearing the Adrenaline series since the GTS 9. The first week I wore my newest GTS 12s (new pair every 6 months) I put 30 miles on them to include a half marathon with no break-in period required.

The GTS 12 is consistent with shape, size, and ride of previous models. Consistency was my primary concern and they have achieved that. I like knowing I can send them back for free if they don't fit.

Awesome shoes that fit perfectly. This is my 4th pair of Brooks and I have never been disappointed, but the Adrenaline GTS 12's are the best I have experienced thus far.

I have been running on and wearing the Brooks Adrenaline for about nine years now. Was fitted for these shoes before my second half marathon. A few years back I decided to try a different model (the Adrenaline ASR) and as a result my peroneal tendon was strained. Moved back into this shoe and the pain is gonzo! I am a little larger than the average bear at 6'3" and 260lbs. My running puts a hurting on the shoes I wear and these always stand the test!

These provide more support than the GTS 11 from last season. This style is more comfortable as well. I love this color. I get stopped everyday with these sneakers.

Love this shoe and the attention Brooks gave to the shoe lace attachment so as to not hurt the top of the foot.

So, I am not a runner by practice.. mostly trained for soccer. Recently decided to start running and few months back bought a pair of Adrenaline. Was aiming for stability but with some cushioning since I run on a bike trail. With this pair of my first pro running shoes, I am extremely happy that I made this choice. The fit is perfect and the traction is exactly to the level that I appreciate. As a first time 5K runner, after my first 2.5 miles, I feel exhausted and the muscles are tired.. but Adrenaline really helps me to carry forward while trying to provide that extra support when the legs need them the most. Will highly recommend.

On my second pair and about to order another. Only complaint is lack of color choices in EE width. Please add additional color combos for those of us who need wide width!

I have used Brooks shoes before and I love the comfort that they give me when running. I checked this style out in Roadrunner and loved it, except that there was a small defect so I could not buy them from there. They are stability shoes that suit my feet very well. They are awesomely comfortable! I wish they had more neutral color choices.

I've run in Brooks Adrenaline for more than 7 years. They are by far the best running shoes I've come across.

I ordered these for my husband in a D width because I could not read the width in the ones that I was replacing. They were too narrow so I called and the new ones were on the way immediately. They arrived the next day and just in time to take on vacation. Zappos is the best. the shoes look great and my husband is happy with them. This is his second pair of Brooks.

These shows are amazingly comfortable! Very stable laterally and the soles have just the right about of cushion. I'm usually very conscious of new shoes for the first few days, but after only five minutes of walking in the GTS12 I completely forgot I was wearing them. You may want to order a half size larger than your regular size and save yourself the 2-day exchange delay.

I bought these shoes for my husband, who at 50, is training for a half Marathon. He has been a die hard Nike fan for 30 years and owns at least 10 pairs at all times. He tried these on the recommendation of his brother, a long time runner. Well, my husband raves about these shoes. They are in the stability plus category and he could not be more pleased with the performance. He owned several Nike shoes that were also in the stability plus category, but when it came top performance the Brooks have been it, hands down. You must order a full size larger than normal. These have been the best running shoes ever. We would highly recommend them to someone looking for a very high quality shoe.

I've been running in the Adrenaline series since round six and love them! Not as keen on the color changes they've made, but that's cosmetic and personal preference.

These are by far my favorite running shoes. They are comfortable, supply good support, and have enough cushioning. The twelfth edition of the Adrenalines are great shoes for me and they last about 500 miles before any tear becomes significant, like most running shoes. However, it is very important to note that this is for me. I really have no way of telling you if these are the right running shoes, or how long you should use them because maybe you really need more cushioned shoes so you can only use these for 200-300 miles. I loved these shoes. If you have enjoyed using Brooks before, especially the Adrenalines, or if you are just looking for good shoes, then I would highly recommend them. I would prefer a bit of a darker blue myself for the white but I have no fundamental complaints about these shoes.

This is my third pair of Brooks and each time I order I am more impressed with the feel, style and comfort of the sneaker. I use them for walking and find the support superior to any other type of sneaker that I own.

My second Brooks shoe. Zappos was able to deliver these the next day in time for my vacation. The shoes fit fine with a minor hot spot that went away within a couple of days. A comfortable and not hot walking/running shoe.
