This are fantastic shoes. I am a personal trainer and I am on my feet for 10 hours 5 days a week. These make my feet feel great!!

Amazing for wide feet! I usually want to rip my shoes off the minute I get in the door and I forget that I have them on.

I have a bunion so while I'm regularly an 8, and 8.5 W is perfect for me. The stability sole and wide base makes the shoes comfortable; I did replace the insole with an orthodic one.

Love the feel of the shoe! I agree with everyone about the shoelaces though. They are not long enough to tie. Really maddening. Tried to get a replacement from and got some too wide, tried navy blue and they looked awful because of the pink. Really, I think for $139. Brooks should send replacements so they are the right color. Really cheap

These are the most comfortable shoes right out of the box. I used to have problems with bunions and callouses, but those are long gone. My only complaint is that I need extra wide shoes and the only style in extra wide is always ugly. I've been buying these shoes for years and the extra wide pair is always the least appealing style. But the fit and comfort are great!

I needed a new pair of Brooks. I am not a runner, but a walker. I am also a nurse with flat feet, overpronate, arthrities and plantar fascities. Since I have found Brooks running shoes the pain is better. I find style I like and then they change/don't make them anymore. This is my first pair of Adrenlines. I ordered both the 21 and 22's. The 21s were okay, but I felt the magic when I placed the 22s on! Wore them this week and waked over 15,000 steps each day wth no foot pain! I wear 6.5-7 and the 7's fit great. I have narrow feet. Zappos recommended the 7.5 I am glad I did not use their suggestion. Hopefully when It is time to replace these I can ind them!

I would normally wear a 9W, but the toebox in this shoe is plenty wide so I went up a half size and got a 9.5Medium which works out just fine. The laces are very secure so I can pull them tight for a thin sock or loosen them for a thick sock. This is the second time I have bought the Adrenaline GTS 22 and I was pleased to see that there were no changes over time in the fit of the shoe. I am hard on the soles of shoes (lots of pavement walking) and the soles and treads hold up pretty well. I don't think the retail price of $140 is a good value, but the sale price of $90 seemed about right.

I have a narrow foot that is hard to fit and although these shoes are close to being just right I felt they were a bit too wide so I are returning.

Liked the shoe and its color pattern but the strings are way too short. Sending back, sadly.

Love the shoe but come up too high at my ankle bone. I have to put a lift in the foot pad to compensate for this.

These shoes are extremely comfortable except that the toe box is a little narrow for me making my big toe rub. The insole is cushioned and supportive but not too cushy nor too ridgid. I love the higher heel/toe offset. It's great for my Achilles tendonitis. I bought these for walking only and they absolutely took away the tendon discomfort. I'm really sorry that the toe box doesn't work for me because otherwise they are perfect for me.

I am 77 yo. I do not run. But I really like these shoes for the stability.
I also have a black pair I bought from a store (same size)but the toe box seems too tight. These white ones I ordered are much better

I love these shoes. I have worn them for years. But, this pair SQUEAKS a lot. I've worn them a few times and it isn't getting better. I don't like shoes that provide a soundtrack to walking or moving.

I don't use these to run in. I have neuropathy in my feet, so I am looking for comfort and support These shoes are not perfect, but are pretty comfortable. I also have no arch.

I would like. to know why you have changed the laces to flat (cheap) ones. The rounded one looked better and stayed tied. Besides the cost of new shoes I have to buy my own laces. Might have to research a new brand

I actually tried 2 pairs of this shoe, one in my regular size, and then a half size up. And I REALLY wanted to love them... In fact my Right foot was happy in BOTH pairs. But I had nothing but trouble on the left. The first pair rubbed the skin off the back of my left heel pretty bad the first time out. Which I cured with moleskin, and, after a couple more runs, no issue there. But then the inside of the tongue/ laces part of the same shoe started rubbing the TOP of my foot - instep. ( I read another review somewhere where someone else mentioned that the tongue/laces area was THINNER than previous models ) So, I decided to get a 1/2 size up. Again. Right foot okay. But after a short 3 miler, I came back with a HUGE raw/hot spot in the Same place on the top of my Left foot. So, as much as I wanted to make them work. These ended up being no go. Had to return them.

Still Love Brooks. Also Mizuno, Solomon, Adidas

Very comfortable! Makes running easier and more gentle on your body. I've had a pair of adrenalines before, but the new pairs shoes laces are short (only downfall I have).

Please bring back the type of shoelaces that you used to provide - they weren't the nylon ones you've switched to and were longer. Longer allows better lacing for narrow heels - through the 2nd (and further back holes). The newer laces you've switched to don't have enough give and are cheaper in look, texture, and utility. I've worn Brooks for more than a decade and I had hoped the different laces were temporary when I first encountered them last year. :-(

The shoe laces are too short. I barely can tie a bow on my shoes, and I double knot it to keep it tied.

I have purchased Brooks in the past and find the sizing wonky. These are a bit too small. I have a pair of Ghosts that are a little long, same size. When you get the sizing right they are great.

Shoe was firm and structured. I preferred the Glycerine.
Grateful Zappos lets me compare them side by side and return Adrenaline.
