Good fit and support, most of my knee pain is gone. They do feel a little overstuffed. The souls are pretty thick which gives nice support but also kind of makes it hard to really feel movement in the shoes.

Style is great and comfy in the toe box but the back of the shoe comes up very high on the ankle and is cupped so the edge digs into the back of ankle and causing a blister. None of my previous pairs of Brooks have done this. I can usually take them right out of the box and go for run with no problems. Returning for that reason.

Great shoe! Similar feel as the adrenaline 19s but the fabric seems less durable than previous versions.

When I tried these on they seemed too tight and I was going to return them. A few days later I received an email starting these come with a 30 day wear trial so I decided to give them another shot. They did become more comfortable as they stretched out and so far so good. The biggest thing that I can share from my experience was that wearing them in the house to see if they would be a good fit comfort wise vs walking outside was day and night. (Fearing wear marks and no return if I did initially try them outside).
I have never paid this much for a shoe before but So far glad I kept them. They don’t have the best arch support like maybe Addidas.

I already have the black pair. They stretched to fit my feet just right. The grey fabric on this pair doesnt stretch. The black shoes i have are very airy with the tiny holes in them which helps them breathe and be cooler in the summer. The grey shoes do not seem to be like that. Just a very thick, non stretchy fabric.

The shoes have been very comfortable since I started wearing them. I have only had them a week so time will tell if they keep feeling good. I have a problem after I wear shoes for about a month they do no fee very good anymore

They fit well - I always replace the insoles of my running shoes with sport insoles for better support. These shoes have a firm feel to them - the toe box is nice and wide, although the height of the shoe up the heel seems a bit lower than other shoes I have. Overall, these are a good stability shoe. I like the white with stars - fun print!!!

These are a wee bit longer than the Brooks Ghost. I might trip over them on a treadmill, but they work for me on pavement. The sole is stiffer than the Ghost, but I’m not mad about it, it just feels different, and maybe a bit disconnected from the rest of the shoe, but that may improve after a few uses. I’m a 6.5 D; these are, overall, true to size.

Wonderful right out of the box...enough room in the toe box, solid support across the bridge without being uncomfortable and a forgiving but not squishy sole. If I had to pick a negative, the pale gray color is a bit muddy which isn't a big deal. For references, I'm a size 6.5 on the wide side which in athletic shoes is better addressed by sizing up a half size rather than an actual wide size. I also tried the New Balance 870v5 Light Slate/Bali Blue 7 B (M) and Mizuno Wave Rider 23 Cloud Grey/Wind Chime 7 B (M) before selecting the Brooks. Both the NB and the Mizuno were too narrow in the toe box and too tight across the bridge.

I love these shoes, although they are a bit big and I bought them 1/2 size up as I do with trail running shoes. My only complaint is that I live in an area with pine forests everywhere, and when walking up a steep hill with pine needles, they don't have the grip I would like. They are extremely comfortable and I can wear them when my feet are hurting and I can still walk the 5 - 7 miles a day that I do.

Seems to be not as cushy in the forefoot as the model before that. Will try 1/2 bigger.

I really like these shoes on my feet, but the outer edges dig into my the bottom of my feet in a less than ideal way (I have nearly flat feet), and since I need them for running, back they must go.

Got duped by the Find My Size tool and my previous Brooks shoes--sizing up a 1/2 size in this model was true for me so follow the suggestion and ignore the sizing tool. Stable without feeling overbuilt. Like the knit uppers and like the color choice of black/grey with light blue, although it's the only color combo I'd get of all of these choices for the Adrenaline 20.

Love the look and feel of these sneakers and they seem to be constructed for over pronation. The only problem is the toe box is too narrow for me.

Love the look and feel. Seems to have the right support for over pronation. Unfortunately, the toe box is too small for me, size 7M. With my orthotic there is just no enough room for my toes.

I like the feel of these, but the toe box is too tight for me. These are going back. I am sad, I like the pattern allot in person, would look great with black leggings. A larger size may be better, not sure.

To me, these shoes feel like they need more cushion under the balls of the feet. Overall, they feel true to size and will work for walks or short runs, but I’m going to try for something with more cushion.

The inserts from the GTS 17 were superior to these inserts but these are pretty good.

I bought these again because they fit so well before but these were much narrower than my originals - even the Wide were too tight.

Comfortable and fit well on my wide feet with bunions. I do have to wear thick-ish socks to avoid one of the eyelets on the right side digging into my skin a bit.
