Love these shoes! I am size 9 usually, so that's what I ordered. They fit perfect! I get so many compliments on these!

My daughters' coach suggested this shoe. Each daughter wears a different size, and they both like it a great deal. This is their second pair. One wears a narrow and wishes there were more color options for her. Other than that, we're very happy with our purchase!

I've worn these for years and this is by far my favorite redesign. It is narrower, but I don't have a wide foot so it works well for me. I actually feel like I'm better supported by the new design. Love them and will stick up!

I really like these shoes. I do not run but walk a lot. They are great in the winter as they are warm and keep my feet dry. They provide terrific support. I bought two pairs for the future because they change these.

I was pleased to find that the Adrenaline 16 was a great improvement over the past two versions- the 14 and 15, which I had tried and returned because they hurt my feet. I had never had any trouble with the earlier Adrenaline 12 and 13, so I was sad the 14 and 15 did not work out for me. I was reluctant to try the 16, but I like the support the Adrenalines give. I have just completed my second five mile run with them and had no issues. Yes, they are bit heavy, but I need the extra support, and I also think they last longer than the Asics and New Balance that I have been using.

Thank you, Brooks, for going back to the original design! I have been wearing Adrenaline for five years. Unfortunately the GTS 15 design was completely off. I could not find any 14 and was forced to buy something else for work. I took a chance and bought the 16, and they are perfect. I bought another pair to keep for when these wear out. So, please Brooks, play with colors if you must, but do not mess with the design for next year!

Fit is true to size and very comfortable. Zappos immediately sent me a size larger when I requested it and didn't even wait for the return. Go Zappos.

This is a great shoe for the mild overpronator. Great arch support, but if you wear a custom orthotic it may make the orthotic feel more intense. However, like all athletic shoes these days they run short. So get a size larger and a width smaller than what you measure on a Brannock Device. You'll love the fit if you do that and this shoe will feel awesome.

I've worn brooks gts for years. These are different, but I like them! The top part of the shoe isn't as wide, but feels fine on my foot. The support does seem to be lacking a bit, but I wear green super feet soles, so that fixes the support issue. I'm not disappointed and actually prefer this version to any of the older ones.

I ordered these in wide while I recover from foot surgery. My podiatrist recommends Brooks. This shoe is very supportive and I am very pleased.

This stability of this shoe works wonderfully for gate and have been buying the wide for years, but this time purchased both the wide and the extra-wide to see which would be best. I returned the wide and kept the extra wide as there is more room so as not to put any squishy pressure on my Morton's neuroma.

This is my 1st pair of Brooks. Most of my coworkers wear them & after having a bad experience with New Balance I decided to try these. I love them! They have good support and a nice wide toebox. I wear them 8-10hours a day 4 days a week. I am looking forward to getting another pair for working out as well.

These are the most comfortable work out shoes that I have worn in a long time! My mom and sister are huge fans of Brooks shoes and they have definitely turned me on to them as well. I love the shoe color scheme and and the cushioning is perfect.

I love these running shoes! The 16 does seem a tad wider in the toe area compared to the 15. This did bother me a bit in my first run but just laced tighter and it fixed the problem. I had problems with the Adrenaline 15 and the tread coming apart on the shoe after a couple months, this has never happened with my previous Adrenalines. I am hoping that the 16 holds together better!

After the reviews I really expected the size I ordered to have fit. But no....too short! really. I like the shoe and it's lighter than my Asics so I am exchanging them for another 1/2 size up. We will see.

I read the reviews that these shoes were not as comfortable as the old styles but decided to try it anyway. I am glad that I did. The first pair was my normal size and that was not very comfortable but I decided to get a half size larger and they are amazing shoes. They provide great support for your feet when working out and my feet do not move around inside. If you are looking for everyday shoes to shop at the mall in these are probably not the shoes that I would pick. If you need extra support for a good work out I would highly recommend these shoes.

This is my first purchase of Brooks shoes. To tell you the truth, I never heard of Brooks. I found that these are most comfortable shoes. They are very cushiony so your feet do not get sore. I would highly recommend the Brooks line.

Excellent cushion underfoot. The premier tire tread, as I like to think of it. Gives you a real spring in your step, better than over 30 that I have tried on in recent years. I have worn GTS for about the past 3 years, and the change in this new model, 16, is that they are cut narrower in the toe and seem shorter to me. I needed a half size bigger in this one. They look prettier if that matters to anyone: the narrow look is more fashionable. Even narrower, they accommodate my huge bunion nicely in the half size bigger

I loved my 2014 Adrenalines and had been a little concerned about the 2016 update. However after putting about 20 miles on the new kicks, I love them! There was a little break in time because my feet had gotten used to the well-worn squishiness of my old pair. Now that my feet has adjusted, they feel fantastic. I will probably get a second pair.

Like running on a cloud. This is my second pair; I love them for long distance with my flat arches. Buy up half a size and use a good insole though.

I do a lot of walking around a warehouse 8-12 hours six days a week and I love the look and feel of Brooks, however the GTS 16 does feel a bit tighter in the toe area than the GTS 14 that I had. If I ordered another pair I would try size 8 instead of 7½. I highly recommend anyone looking for comfortable shoes try these out. Just try them on for size first!

This was my first Brooks purchase. I recently have been having disc and sciatic nerve problems and decided to get a good pair of tennis shoes. These feel wonderful! I have received many compliments on them and they fit right out of the box. I ordered my normal size and they are perfect.

After the Adrenaline 15 didn't fit me, I was so relieved to be able to wear the 16! I love this shoe! Comfy, great to run in and I love the colors!

Easy ordering, fast delivery of the shoes that I selected! This is my 10th pair of Brooks. They are the best running shoes.
