They were the best shoe for my feet! I am glad that this year's style has a sturdier heel strike...I can feel my butt working more! Plus, they're great if you have a more narrow heel and still need a wider toe box. :-) Happy, happy feet!

I haven't bought a new pair of running shoes for a while. (I used to be an avid runner but took some breaks when I was pregnant.) So my last pair of shoes was an Adrenaline 8. I have always been a fan of the Adrenaline and previously had both the 6 and the 7. I must say, the 12 is a disappointment. I can only suspect that the ridiculously inaccurate sizing is due to its being manufactured overseas and a lack of quality control. My entire life I have been a 10.5 narrow ("slim" in sandals and pumps). I was so excited for my new shoes to arrive so I could get back to regular exercise, but was immediately disappointed to find that they ran easily 1/2 size and more like a full size smaller than my old Adrenalines. I am sending them back and re-ordering both an 11 narrow and 11.5 narrow, just in case. Note: this is not the first manufacturer to have this problem. I have had this problem with David Tate and Trotters shoes, too. Lest you think that my foot has grown or my arches have fallen, I can assure you that all of my shoes that are at least two years old still fit, and not because they are stretched out. All of my old shoes (peep toe, open-toed sandals, boots, whatever) all still fit at a 10.5. If you measure my foot, it is still a 10.5. But the Adrenaline now runs small, just like all the shoes whose quality control has deteriorated in the past few years. I am hoping that the support and cushion is still up-to-par. (I haven't yet been able to go running in them, so we will just have to wait and see on that.) That said, I have always found the insert in the Adrenaline to be lacking, so I always go and buy a Spenco cross-trainer insert for around $25 or $30 to replace the manufacturer's insert, even when I had my old Adrenalines. With the new insert in place, I am hoping my next-highest-size shoe will be just as good as the old Adrenalines.

Best shoe I've ever worn. I bought my first pair of Brooks a few years back when I got fitted at a running store and nothing else felt good to run in and left me in pain. I've strayed twice thinking just maybe it would work. I always went back to Brooks immediately. I last purchased the GTS 11, but saw there was the GTS 12, and loved the black with pink and green. Wore them today on my run and they felt wonderful. It's Brooks all the way for me.

These are the greatest shoes. Nice to have good shoes for walking that look better with slacks or jeans than white running shoes. Totally prompt delivery. No problems. In terms of just the shoes, they are really sized well except that I notice a little too much movement in the heel. Solved by wearing 2 pairs of socks. Wouldn't not buy them for this.

I'd also recommend: new balance

This is my fourth pair of Brooks Adrenaline. For my narrow feet and high arch -- these shoes provide support, stability, and super comfort. The shoes breathe well, too. I purchased these in a size larger than I wear in dress shoes; I can wear fairly thick socks and am still very comfortable. I also get great MPP, miles per pair. I'm considering stockpiling a few of these in case they're discontinued!

This is a very good looking and well made shoe. It has excellent padding. Unfortunately, it runs about 1/2 size too small, so I have to return them. I just wish the shoe came larger than a 13, so I could just order the next size up.
