Customer Reviews Brooks Adrenaline™ GTS 13

I love this shoe. In order for me to find shoes that truly fit, I have to shop at the "special" shoe store. I wear a size 6.5 EE, which means that I get approximately 3 choices, at least one of which is always out of stock, and none of them would I ever take a second look at, as they are never esthetically pleasing. Many years ago I was able to fins a pair at Easy Spirit that fit and were decent looking, so after years of wearing worn out shoes, or shoes I just didn't like I decided to try them again. However, there isn't a store in my state, so I ordered them online and their "wide" was nowhere near wide enough. I went back to my New Balance, which I can generally find in my size, just not the "cute" ones. So I read all of the reviews on Zappos and decided to try these Brooks GTS 13. Most people said to go half a size up, so I did. I received them in a timely fashion, and not only do they fit, they are beautiful. I have the equivalent of short swim fins for feet: very wide toe area, narrow heel, and a high arch to boot. I'm going to buy a second pair of these just to have on hand because I love them so much!

I wear a 7 1/2 wide in running shoes and these were true to size. Also I wear a thick insole and these accommodated those insoles. I just received these sneakers and since I have long standing plantar fascitis in the left foot, I need to give a few more days to see if the heel discomfort reduces. I love this sneaker and want them to work but my heel pain is the final say on all shoes. I must also state that with my insole, the pronation correction feels too much. I have a mild pronation in the left foot and so I removed my insole and replaced the sneakers with the original insole from Brooks and added a cheap store bought insole for added cushion to my heel. Time will tell if this is the right sneaker for me. Brooks keep making your stability sneakers, the fit is great in the wide width and the mesh is a must! I love the cushion in these sneakers too!

Great shoes. Probably the most comfortable I have purchased. Excellent support, very light, comfortable and true to size. As always, great service from Zappos.

I love the Brooks Adrenaline. This is my third pair! I get the EE for my Flintstone feet and they fit perfectly. They also wear very well!

Great endurance running shoe. During my marathon training, I needed to get a second pair of shoes. These are great stability shoes for my minor overpronation. Comfy. Ordered 1/2 bigger than my normal shoes, but I always have to do that with running shoes.

This is the first pair of Brooks that I have owned and I have nothing but good things to say. I have very low arches and could never find running shoes that felt right but I have never had an issue with these since the first time I ran in them. These provide smooth, comfortable support. Almost all of my shoes are a size 10 and size 10 was perfect for me in this case as well.

Love these shoes. Brooks Adrenaline are the only running shoes I wear. These feel great. I can't tell much difference from the 12s. I do wish they came in funkier colors, but c'est la vie.

Great shoe! Very comfortable...but runs a half size too small...had to return for a bigger size.

This is my first pair of Brooks and I absolutely love them. I overpronate, have a narrow foot and heel and these are the best shoes. I have only had them for a week but they were comfortable right out of the box. My orthotics fit in them no problem. I have had Nike and New Balance over the years and they were just never comfortable. At the end of the day my feet would ache. I will definitely buy Brooks again.

Love these shoes. I've been wearing them for years and have tried other brands a couple of times, only to turn around and re-order these because others just don't work as well. The support is perfect and the wide toe-box makes them very comfy. I get good mileage out of them too. My go-to shoe.

Love it! I ordered a number of different shoes of different top brands. Both of the Brooks fit and felt better than all the others so I'm keeping them both. This provides a stable platform for my wide forefoot, and snugly holds my narrow heel. It has lots of cushioning but feels stable and solid. I walk 3 or 4 miles every other day, and do aerobic classes the other days. These are great shoes.

These shoes are great! I've worn them for over a month now and have no complaints. I have used them for Insanity workouts and will be wearing them as I begin training for a half marathon next month. My favorite feature of this shoe is the loop on the shoelace that keeps the tongue front and center. Great arch support and cushion!

First and foremost I want to say thank you to Zappos for the worlds BEST customer service!! You guys rock! I switched to this shoe from the Pure Connect. This shoe has made all the difference for me, I am currently training for the Bataan marathon and had to switch to a more trail rated shoe that provided more ankle support. This shoe paired up with a good running sock has done great. I went up a half a size, so glad I did, would have been too small otherwise. I love the white, however, it is looking a little yucky from running on dirt roads and trails... The marathon is on St. Patrick's Day so the green will be perfect. :) Overall very satisfied!

After 2 bunionectomies, I decided to take up running (again). They provide enough cushioning to keep my feet from being sore. I normally wear 8.5 but always go up .5 for running shoes. Super comfortable! Highly recommend!

First time ever buying running shoes online. Zappos rocked yet once again! Ordered 1/31 1pm and got about 20 minutes ago 2/1 around 24 hours from order to my door. Whoo hoo! I have bunions on both sides of feet - regular and tailors and these feel snug but not sore. This is with just walking around the house. I will post another review on how they do on a walk outside or run.

I love Brooks shoes. They are the most comfortable shoes that I have ever worn, although they are not always the best looking. They last about a year of moderate use. I ordered another pair to replace my worn ones.

I had ran in these shoes during 2013 and needed a new pair for 2014. Figured that they got me through one year of running so I might as well order the same pair. It was great because it was the old "model" so the shoe was on clearance! I ordered these on a Saturday night and they arrived on Monday afternoon! Super speedy delivery and it was free!

This shoe is not for me. I know people who run and they love these shoes. I have RA and tend to pronate. That is worse than ever in this shoe.

Did my first 5k in them. Feel good. Think I should add arch support though.

Ordered extra wide due to a bunion and must say bunion does not hurt as much as other shoes I have purchased (still not perfect but beginning to think there is no wide shoe out there) If you are looking for a extra wide shoe and do not have bunion, this is the shoe. Is comfortable otherwise, like the appearance and support.

Great shoe for the price. Wider toe box but not too roomy. Would buy again.

These are very comfortable shoes with great support. I wear them exclusively for walking and running and they've held up great except in the toe area. After 3 months, I now have holes in the toe box of both feet above my big toes. I have never had this issue with other running shoes. So I am disappointed that shoes that still look good otherwise and feel good are going to have to be retire so my toes don't break all the way through the shoe.

I decided to try these after wearing out a pair of Asics Gel shoes. I ordered a pair of the Asics and the Brooks GTS 13 at the same time, thinking if the Brooks didn't work I'd at least have another pair of the same Asics. The Asics are going back - these shoes felt great and they were more true to size for my EE feet. I had to wear the Asics until they stretched and wore enough to be comfortable and they always pinched my toes; not so with these, they felt great the first time I wore them, like they were made for me. I'll be a convert to Brooks if they stand the test of time and hold up for at least 6 months.

Friends who switched from Asics to Brooks highly recommend them. This shoe good value for the money. Not crazy about the aqua laces. Think I'll switch them for navy or white. Arch support is moderate plus. Not quite excellent but better than a moderate rating.

I love the GTS and have worn it for years as recommended by my podiatrist. The only problem I have experienced more recently is that the threading around the toe/mesh area is breaking down so that the shoe, though with plenty of life left, has a hole in the toe. I am re-ordering but hope that the company will take note and strengthen this weak area.
