Reviewed at Brooks Running
I really like the look of these and they are very comfortable shoes. I feel cushioning all around my feet when I put them on, which is amazing. I purchased these shoes because I have some pretty horrifying pain right in the arch of both of my feet after standing or walking for an extended period of time. Unfortunately, these were not the answer. While on an evening walk, my arches began to hurt after about 10-15 minutes as usual. I'm super disappointed but I did find out that I have flat feet. I plan to do more research into another pair of Brooks shoes to purchase that have better arch support.

These are good support shoes with lots of room in the toebox, but they were too wide for my foot. Maybe I need a half size smaller, but they hurt one foot which was weird, just not the shoe for me. Too bad, I really liked them! Thank you Zappos for letting me wear them on a run and walking, I don't usually have to return a shoe I wore, but glad to have this option!

I agree with some reviews regarding the fit. I have purchased Brooks shoes for about 10 years and find the sizing has changed. The toe box has gotten narrower. They are fine for short runs or walks but anything longer than 5 miles the shoes start to become uncomfortable.

The fit was good but the color was way, way too much on the lilac end of blue and grey. This wont work with my wardrobe. I sure hope that Brooks will continue to offer 13 Narrow since other manufacturers (ASICS!) has abandoned those of use who have long AND narrow feet.

I always wear the Brooks Adrenaline, these feel completely different. In fact, my feet hurt so bad that I’m returning them. I’m so disappointed that something about the support changed.

These out of the box are no where near as comfortable as my GTS 18's. I'm hoping as I wear them they will get better but not so sure.

Disappointed in these. I ordered the GT1000-8 along with them to compare and there was no comparison- These are short, too cushy, little stability Not sure what all the hype is and the colors ugly. I am an advocate of the Brooks Bedlam 2 for stability for flat skinny feet. These seemed cheap.

Like thewidth. Comfortable Some. However, the toe box collapses a bit creating a dent that rubs against the toe and requires persistent adjustment.

I ordered these GTS20 Adrenalines to replace the GTS18 Adrenalines that I wear for my 3+ mile walks, 3-4 times per week. The GTS20 had good wiggle room in toe box, sufficient cushioning, width was fine, and I liked the gray/peach color. But right shoe rubbed my Achilles tendon and I knew a blister would happen so I returned them. I put a new Superfeet insole in my old GTS18s and hopefully get another couple hundred miles out of them.

These were the same size as the Brooks I purchased one year ago. They ran about 1/2 size larger so I had to return them.

Fit is as expected, however does not facilitate proper mid foot strike.

I have worn the Brooks Adrelaline GTS series for years...starting with 2014 or 2015. Always bought the same size and width (9, wide, womens). This year Brooks changed something about the sneaker as it is now too short and felt tight across the ball of the foot. Tried the shoes on with the same socks and inserts I always us.

I liked the earlier models of this shoe so much better--the shape and design of the toe area in particular. Even the materials used for the shoe and laces of the earlier model felt more durable and less plasticy. So sorry this is the case because I loved the previous ones and they lasted forever.

I wish Brooks would stop "improving" their Adrenaline model so often, as it seems to actually get worse over time. I've been buying this model for years because it's good for stability and used to be a good fit; this last pair (GTS 20), however, was too big. And it was uglier than the last version of it that I'd bought (GTS 18). Please, Brooks, leave well enough alone! Oh wait, it's too late for that now.

Was looking forward to wearing this shoe. Previously, I've worn Asics for both running and walking and loved them. The original Brooks Adrenaline GTS that I ordered in my size was too small, and there was no 1/2 size up. I returned the original shoes and replaced them one size up, and the replacement pair are too sloppy. Since there is no perfect way to gauge fit without wearing outside, I will now have to try using an insole to get a better fit. Hopefully, that will work ~as these are a light-weight and good-looking shoe.

I loved the previous years fit, but they narrowed the toe box. I wear a wide shoe to allow for good toe spacing, and the 19 had a great toe box and excellent support. The 20 looks more like a normal width and my toes felt cramped. It's a shame because the 19 was a long lasting and very supportive shoe. Additionally, the color choices were very limited. I was looking for a shoe that had some navy to wear with my nursing outfit, but the only blue was a light blue. I chose the black and they were heavy looking for what I wanted.

The heel felt great but the toe box was very wide and deep for my foot and for an AA width.

I love these sneakers, but they are not holding up well at all. The fabric of the sneaker by the toe is wearing and so is the rubber on the sides. I haven't even given them much mileage because I have an injury. Very disappointing to spend this much and for the sneaker to hold up so poorly! :(

I have bought Brooks Adrenaline shoes for well over 6 years. They have been the best fitting and wearing shoes I've ever worn; however these GTS 20 did not stand up to the Quality of the previous lines. For some reason, Brooks decided Not to put a toe protector on the front of the shoe and my shoe was torn up in about 2 months. I was very disappointed with how fast they deteriorate. One of the reasons I have bought the Adrenaline line is because they always had some sort of toe protection. I seriously doubt I'll be buying any more Adrenaline shoes unless they go back to some type of toe protector.
