I am healthcare worker always on my feet. The Adrenaline have good support and comfortable. My legs and feet don?t feel weak or tired at the end of day or week!

They were sort of hard to get used to at the beginning as they are a little bulky and sit higher up but that extra lacing area at the top helps a ton to make you feel more secure - I love them now

Bought for casual use, not running. (One of the few sources for narrow sizes.) Also recommended for plantar fasciitis.

I love the shoes, I have several pairs of Brooks' shoes. The only thing I would say is that I could use a little more cushion on the bottom of my feet. They feel a little less comfy than the GTS 19 pair I have.

Shoe is very comfortable and does help with support. Could use a little more cushion under pad of foot.

I love this shoe. The soles are comfy, it hugs my feet perfectly. My feet don't get sweaty. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is the quality control. This is the first time I spent this much hoping for a good shoe, and it is, but there were small pinhole tears in the rubber on the sides of the soles and where the ties come out by the tongue, the fabric is frayed. I could have sent them back, that's on me, but I needed the shoes and they fit perfectly and were so comfy. I don't know how Brooks handles returns, I didn't give that a chance. I would buy them again, and pay better attention to how I get them.

Mostly as expected. The heel was a bit wider than the 20s, which is an issue with my extremely narrow feet, but eventually it worked out. More slippage and less cushioning/comfort than the 20s, but still usable.

I wear these almost every day. I am a "heavy footed" fast walker, with lots of foot problems. These shoes are great, my feet don't hurt after a 12 hour shift of waitressing.

These shoes are as comfortable as all the other versions that I?ve worn. But they have been squeaky since Day 1 and are getting increasingly squeaky. This is not in combination with flooring. The shoes themselves squeak with every step.

The size is true to size. The width is comfortable. Could use a little more support. The heel is a little deeper than expected. I would buy this shoe again.

I'm just trying out Brooks. I usually take wides in NB but the Brook's wide was just a tad tight for my neuromas so exchanging for extra wide in same style and size. They seem like a good shoe with good support!!

These are very comfortable and offer a lot of support. I have wider feet and they fit true to size. They didn’t require a break in period. I walked a few miles the first time I wore them and had no issues with rubbing or wearing.

This was the first time I tried Brooks. I really liked everything about these shoes, except for the width of the toe box. The size was perfect, so the next size down would not have fit. I walked around the house for just a few minutes when the front half of my foot started sliding side to side. Sadly they are going back and I doubt if I will try Brooks again.

Definitely order 1/2 size up if you are on the border between sizes. I like that these shoes are supportive and flexible and I personally really like the flat, stretchy shoe laces (although I can see that runners often complained about them, I am a walker so they are good for me). Not waterproof, so if we get rain I can't wear them outside, which would be a disadvantage. But comfortable with good arch support and room for orthotics. I ordered these shoes because of PTTD, hope they help. There was only one color left in my size, so even though I have only worn these a few hours and inside, I ordered another pair just in case these work -- because other reviewers said that Brooks often changes their model significantly each year. We shall see.... REALLY appreciate Zappos' return policy!!! If these don't work, I will send back, but hoping they do work!

I’ve been wearing Brooks GTS for about 5 years and just buy the new model and they have fit perfectly. I’m not sure why the toe box on these were way narrower than previous pairs. I was unable to wear them without my toes going numb and hurting the top of my foot. Very sad to return them… not sure what to get now.

I have a very hard time walking unless the shoe is perfect. This one is almost perfect. I was using the Brooks Ghost 13, tried the Ghost 14 those are way too stiff. These, however, work very nicely. I am able to walk comfortably and it feels like I am walking on a cloud. Very comfortable. I walk nearly 30 miles a week so I need to have a shoe that accommodates my foot. This one does. In order to get adequate toe space I ordered the wide shoe. I normally wear an 8M, but went with 8W and that works perfectly.
