They changed the sizing again and now they don't fit me anymore. Return process is super easy though, so there's that

I have the Brooks Adrenaline 17 and really like the fit, they've taken me a long way. These 19's are completely different in size, I normally wear an 8 but go with an 8.5 in Brooks. I could get me foot in, but they were seriously tight, not wiggle room anywhere. Disappointed, I thought it would be a sure thing

I have worn brooks adrenalines for years. These are lower quality than I’ve gotten before. I’ve worn them a few days a week for about a month and the top is notably worn looking. I will be returning these.

The fit and size were fine, but the shoe overall is just not a quality shoe... it's like it's a totally fabric shoe with little support, so I feel like they are sloppy. I'm a nurse, and I was hoping these would work well for me, but my feet hurt in these shoes every time I wear them. I'm not sure if they just weren't made well to begin with or if they are giving out after only approx four months wear, two - three days/week. I definitely will not purchase this shoe again!

After reading reviews, I was excited to get these sneakers. I have bad feet and need a lot of cushioning. I was very unhappy with the comfort of these sneakers. Didn't feel much support and the bottom of my feet hurt after only a few minutes. Unfortunately, I need to return.

I've used brooks for about 8 years. They are the only shoe that has really helped with my pronation, however for the last few years the shoe quality has declined. I like the mesh ( breathability) but the shoe and supports don't seem to last as long. For the first time since I've been wearing my Adrenaline GTS 18 I'm experiencing pain on my inner foot above my arch every time I run. I think this is due to the quick wear of the shoe. I really hope the quality improves.

I've been wearing the adrenaline 18. Ran a 10k in them last year & have logged 500 miles running between two pairs of 18's in the last year. They were great from the first time, no need to break in. I wear an 8 1/2 wide. Got the 19's. Hate them! Not comfortable, toe box & whole shoe seems too wide. Bottom of my big toe rubs & is blistered & sore. Outside of my foot aches. Just horrible. Why the change? Colors are hideous too & are always limited for wides. I'm not too picky about the color & usually just get whatever color is available in wides. But the tan & blue is ugly to me.

I suffer from plantar fasciitis and had to return these shoes. The arch did not work for my moderately arched foot. I am trying a different Brooks shoe. Hoping for better!

If you are looking for a cushioned ride I would not recommend these shoes. I found them to be stiff and somewhat painful. I am returning these and will search for another more cushy Brooks and hope that I find them.

First, thank you Zappos for your patience. They have sent me 5 different running shoes before I kept this one. It does have excellent cushioning but that is the only good I can say. My foot measures a 7 1/2 M, tried 8 wide, 8 M and kept 8 M. Sorry Zappos but they will be returned. Walking around the house seemed ok but walking 4 miles 3 days a week and they felt small and arch support wasn't placed properly for my foot. I don't understand why womens sizing is so erratic. I have always purchased size 8 with a good inch to spare. I will need to keep looking.

This is a good looking shoe and for overpronating feet like mine. Unfortunately, it felt like they were for underpronation! So these will have to go back. However, in the same order I purchased the Launch 6 and they are fantastic! Just Perfect! I have been buying Minuzos every 6 months (6 or 7 pairs) and these are way more cushiony, more room in the toebox and just the right support for overpronation.
What would I do without ZAPPOS!?!?

Better than the 18, but still an unacceptable replacement for the GTS 17, my favorite sneaker of all time. I wear a 9, but ordered a 9.5 based on other reviews. They were much too big, even with thick socks. Sent those back and got the 9, which were okay, except for three things, two of which resulted in my returning them: 1. The expanded mesh makes them feel too flimsy. I could have lived with that, but 2. The underside of the tongue is not stitched down. It has a scratchy, intolerably irritating raw edge I could constantly feel on the top of my foot. 3. These $120 sneakers smell exactly like the cheap Made in China flip-flops I bought on vacation.

I had high hopes for these based on the relatively positive reviews compared to the GTS 18. I found them marginally better than the 18. I ordered a size bigger, and they were too big. The color on this pair was awful, too. My biggest problem with these is that they look and feel so CHEAP compared to the GTS 17 (I had three pairs). The toe box is wide, but the expanded mesh makes them feel flimsy. Also, the underside of the tongue isn't "finished" or stitched down inside the shoe, and it rubbed annoyingly on the tops of my feet. Returned these for a half-size smaller in black. No go. The smaller size made the rubbing from inside the shoe unendurable. Plus, $120 sneakers should NOT smell like cheap flip-flops from China. Sorry, moving on to another brand.

I have been running in Adrenaline shoes for years and have loved them! The newer models are not the same shoe. They are less supportive and the are not as durable. Please bring the older model back!

These are good fitting cute running shoe. Durability leaves something to be desired. After only 3 weeks wear, the fabric on the inside or the collar was worn away. This has happened on the last 4 pair of Brooks running shoes that I purchased. I contacted Brooks and they sent me a free pair of shoes which I am thankful for, but they said this is normal wear. In the future, I will be purchasing shoes with a more durable collar elsewhere.

Oh Brooks! I am so disappointed in the new guardrail system. I have been a loyal Brooks Adrenaline GTS buyer for over 15 years. No shoe ever compared to my Brooks and everyone knew it. It pains me to give this rating because ever since I began training for my first marathon years ago, it was Brooks, and only Brooks. Two pair to rotate. The only reason I gave my new Adrenaline 19s a two instead of a one is because I still like the generous toebox. But with the lack of side motion control on this model, the heel doesn't even feel snug anymore. Please bring back the stability technology...this is no longer a stability shoe. I'm lost now and am back on the hunt for a new running shoe...ugh.

i am not a runner but an avid dog walker, many miles a day, everyday. About eleven years ago i was diagnosed with a chronic foot problem and my doctor recommended Brooks Adrenaline, specifically for support. I never looked back, I loved them and lived in them sometimes all day every day and usually bought about 4 pair a year with a couple on the shelf. The Adrenaline GTS 19 are a huge disappointment for me, look great, great colors, fit in length, width etc. but have absolutely no support. They are like walking on shoes that are already broken down like two jello rafts, like so many athletic shoes that are memory foamed to death. I can barely walk around the corner and I am now seeking out past year Adrenaline shoes. I know I'm not your target consumer but I have been a loyal one, so sad because I could always count on them and have recommended them to countless friends and family members. Took me so long to wear them because i just pulled them off the shelf and sadly have another pair.

I was a big fan of the adrenaline 17, and hoped these would be the same. But the arch support is virtually non-existent, and I cannot wear shoes to work without arch support. I switched to the glycerin 19 and now have the arch support I need.

I have had 2 prior pairs of Brooks GTS 19 running shoes. This pair of shoes is NOT the same. They changed the material of the shoe and it changes the quality and performance of the shoe drastically. There is no longer a support band around the front of the shoe, causing the front of the foot and toes to shift in the foot bed. I’ve lost 2 toenails running with this most recent shoe and have not changed any other thing with my running. Really disappointed. A complete waste of $130. Do not buy!!!

Although I'm a fan of Brooks, I am really disappointed in these shoes. Once I start running over an hour, I get blisters between my toes. This has never happened to me before in any other shoe or in training for two previous marathons. I think part of the issue is that they do not breathe well and running in the humidity in Houston, my feet sweat and the shoes don't stay dry, thus the blisters. Even when I take them off, the moisture takes at least a day to dry, despite opening up the shoes as much as possible.
Otherwise, the support of the shoe is good but the material just isn't right for hot weather and long runs.

I have owned these shoes for two months and walk about 5 days a week. Large holes formed in the mesh where my big toe ends.

they are running shorter but wider than the usual Brooks fit. My heel slips up and down and my socks are always getting pulled down.

I have been wearing some version of these shoes for years. This 2019 model is really inferior to my 2017 version-- 2019 is longer, less substantial, has less support, and after I day in them my feet were tired and sore.

I was hoping this would be my third pair of Adrenalines. Unfortunately, the fit has changed over the years and there is less support in the foot. The toe area is wider and not supportive. Disappointed.
