Customer Reviews Brooks Adrenaline™ GTS 12

Got these in EE for my husband, because they weren't available in EEE; luckily, they fit him fine and loves them except that his feet feel "cold" in them (of course, it's February. Let's see what he says in May!).

As always, Zappos gave me amazing service! The Adrenaline GTS 12 feel great. I have been wearing Adrenaline line of shoe for over 5 years.

I have always ran in Brooks Adrenaline since the 7s and will probably continue since they are great in terms of stability and performance. As with all new shoe models, some Adrenalines are great and others are just fantastic. These are great, it has taken some time for me to break them in (about 30 miles), but unlike the 10s and 11s these are not fantastic out of the box. Hopefully the 13s improve to fantastic again.

Purchased a pair two months ago now, and I thought they were going to be winner. I remember when I first tried them on I liked everything about them except I thought the cushioning was a little weak. Two months later and this was my biggest regret as my legs and feet ache after a run. As a larger runner (6'3" and 270) I take a pounding and I heard this was a shoe built for a Clydesdale. Not the case. I could see this being a good shoe for someone of not my stature though.

I bought this model for my son who has very flat feet. On a scale of 1 to 10 rating the pain level before these shoes while running he would be at a 8 or 10 (high pain). He can now run in these shoes with 0 to 1 (low pain) level. He was so very pleased.

Great shoes except they squeak. A lot. I own 2 identical pairs and both squeak loudly. I hear them all the time and others around me have commented to me about it as well. It's really annoying. Never happened with prior generations. Would love some feedback on how to fix this issue, if that's possible.

These shoes were comfortable enough, but after about 3 months a circular hole appeared in the cloth on the top of the balls of my feet. The hole actually appeared in the same spot on both shoes. The holes got bigger and bigger until they were unwearable. So the mesh fabric appears to be of low quality.

I was initially very happy with these shoes. They were very comfortable and had good support. However, after about two weeks the left one started squeaking. A month later the bottoms of the soles started separating from the shoe. That is very disappointing.

I liked these shoes. But... as with too many running shoes these days, the sole under the toe cuts away from the ground so that when standing, your toes provide no balance whatsoever. I HATE this. It is especially bad with these shoes. It is only mildly annoying in other brands, but in this case is so severe I felt like my toes had been cut off. If it weren't for this one feature, which I can only imagine shoe makers mistakenly think helps runners, I would have been happy with these shoes.

This is the same pair of shoes that my husband has worn for the past two years. The only difference is that we purchased these online. The others were store fit. So, in selecting this pair we assumed that they would fit. He wore them for a week and the outside of the right shoe (below the ankle) began to protrude out. That was not a satisfactory fit for him. We are disappointed in these shoes. We felt that these shoes felt true to the fit at the beginning, but not after several days.

I am disappointed with the GTS 12. My previous pair was the 11th edition and they lasted me well over a year and that was when I was doing over 2 hours of extreme physical fitness every single day. I have not even been active in the gym since owning the new edition and they are already wearing out after only 5 months of just wearing them to work at my office... Losing faith in Brooks. May switch to Saucony, my wife loves her pair!

Brooks must run small. I usually buy Asics but I liked the style. Mistake. After several runs and wearing them around and about they haven't stretched out or broken in. My feet are sore and my heel is particularly sore. My toes also bump on the front. I guess I should have gone with a larger size. This was an expensive mistake as I don't even think I can use them for walk around shoes. Bummer.

I have already exchanged 1 pair of these shoes and now the new ones are failing as well. The rubber part in the back splits and comes off. Also these shoes squeak. I put powder in them and it helps for a day or 2 then back to squeaking. I also noticed these shoes run about a half size smaller than all of my other Brooks shoes. I work with a person who bought this same shoe... he is having the exact same issues as I am. Come on Brooks, start paying attention to quality like you used to. I will be returning these and going with a different brand.
