Customer Reviews Brooks Adrenaline™ GTS 13

This is my 2nd round with the Brooks Adrenaline (I had the 12's) and I must say these are even more wonderful. My entire foot feels completely supported, and it cushions you in the right spots. I've been wearing them for hospital work in a radiology department -- highly recommend!

I have worn Brooks shoes for 8 years (same pair). Can you imagine a pair of shoes lasting so long? I just bought a pair of Adrenaline GTS 13. The salesman told me this shoe is the shoe of the year. I tried it on and, Wow, it felt good. I am 75 years old and all of my friends love the color. I know you don't advertise like the big shoe people, and a lot of people look at you with a puzzled face. They just don't know you at all. What can you do about that? I would like to see on the shoes Made in USA instead of Made in China.

I recently purchased Brooks Adrenaline GTS13. I am a very habitual Asics Gels purchaser but this particular time I couldn't find the color and style I wanted in an 8W. The Brooks were the closest in comparison. I ordered them in my normal size 8W and they were actually a little more comfortable than the Asics. They run very true to size. They are very comfortable and feel really good on a person who has flat feet like me. I am 62 years old and work in retail and I can't even imagine or guess how many miles I put on in one 8 hr. day. The Brooks were like I said very roomy very comfortable and give excellent support if you need a high arch support. Service was excellent. This was my first trip to Zappos and I will definitely come back again. The Brooks Adrenaline GTS 13 are very well worth the cost. I'd get them again if the need were to arise.

These are the best shoes ever for people with bunions! The toe box has mesh where the bunion hits the shoe, so no rubbing! No break in required. I just bought my second pair!

These are nice and wide in the toe box just like my foot and not loose or big in the heal. The arch supports at just the right area too, so I am one tickled owner.

I recently switched to Brooks from the New Balance stabilizer shoe (which they seem to have changed drastically!). This is the closest I found to the NB that I loved. Its a little wide for me, but with the berry Super Feet I don't notice it so much. Its a good, sturdy light shoe and holds up really well on 10+ mile runs. Its hard to change shoe models once you love one. I'm glad I found the GTS 13. (Female age 55, run 20-25 miles per week.)

I had the GTS12 and thought they gave me the support I very much need so when they wore out I wanted to get another pair. I was bummed that they were phased out and my size was no longer available so I went ahead with the next gen. Like the GTS 12, they provide the kind of support I need. I run on a treadmill about 15 miles per week and also wear these on the days I walk / do weights. If you are going for what is best for your feet and body and are not hung-up on colors or looks Brooks is a great brand that I have worn for years and will continue to do so if they keep the quality up.

I take a jazzercise high impact aerobics class 4 nights a week and these shoes are the only brand and style that work for me. I have very flat feet and wear custom orthodics with all my shoes. They fit fine with no need to remove the original lining. I have been purchasing a new pair of this style for 5 years now and to be honest I like last year's, 2012, model a little better. This year's model is more squishy and pillowy, and I like a little more rigidity. I love these shoes and give them 5 stars, but now that I am able to compare them year to year, I can tell the subtle changes in the structure. If you have problem feet, you won't be disappointed with this shoe.

The Brooks Adrenaline GTS is the best running shoe I have ever owned. They were recommended to me by my doctor who made my orthotics. I have been wearing these shoes for at least 4 years. When I first tried them on without my orthotics at the store they were by far more comfortable than the other brands I had been wearing for running for 19 years. I couple that I used to wear a lot were Asics Gel Kayano and Saucony Hurricane. (I tried one of each on at the store to compare.) I usually wear a 9, but with orthotics I wear a 10 narrow. They are not good for studio workouts. (I do Jillian Michaels.) I blow out the sides. They are best for walking and running. They tend to wear out fast-after about 5 months, but I wear them for everything. Since I can't run anymore due to bad knees I walk 6 miles a day, plus wear them for everything else. This shoe is amazing. Most of my runner friends have switched to Brooks as well.

These are the best shows for my needs that I've ever had. They provide the support I need and the narrow width prevents my foot from moving around too much. If you've never had a evaluation of how you walk, it's worth the investment to have a professional advise you on which shoe is best for you. I did that three years ago and that's how I came to this shoe. I had been wearing a medium width and chose the shoe based on it's appearance, not it's support and stability factors. Be good to yourself and your feet! Also remember your athletic shoe should allow some space for your toes at the end of the shoe. My only complaint is that there are not more color options.

This is a great shoe. I needed a shoe that I can put an insole into. I also needed a shoe that is not too flexible in the toe area and that provides stability.This shoe provodes all that.

I have been wearing Brooks Adrenaline GTS for four years, and they continue to make running enjoyable. They fit well, and are pretty light. I do wish they came in a broader range of colors, but the fit and feel are what is most important to me. I normally wear an 8 1/2 in regular shoes,, but a running specialty store suggested I buy a 9 1/2 in running shoes, and that change has made running more comfortable for my feet. Just something to keep in mind when ordering.

These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever bought and I have tried dozens! A week after buying them I ran a half marathon and my blister prone feet had none! And all toenails intact! I wish they came in more colors I will never switch brands again. I'm running happy!

These shoes are extremely comfortable. I ordered a pair of asics in wide hoping they would be what I needed but they were way too snug. I ordered these Brooks as a second choice but they ended up being exactly what I was looking for. I wish they came in grey, but that's minor compaired to the comfort factor. Great arch support, great heal cushion and over all comfort. Definitely the best pair of shoes I've had in years. Thank you Zappos for your selection and easy returns!

This is a comfy shoe that I order in the wide width to accommodate my bunions. Since the rest of my foot is not wide, my heel slips up a bit when I walk so I wish it was possible to get this shoe with a wide fit for the ball of my foot and a narrower fit in the heel.

If you liked the GTS 11 and hated the 12, you might like this shoe. It is a few ounces lighter than the 12 and not as stiff as the 12. and in that way is more similar to the 11, but not as cushioned. I wear this shoe mainly because it is one of the few stability shoes that comes in 2E for women.

I've bought Brooks shoes for over 6 years now, and always got the Adrenaline because they offer the support I need. I have a collapsed arch, with over-pronation, and malformation in my toes. Anything I wear I have to have orthotics in and unfortunately this means WW shoes, which are extremely hard to find in a nice style. While I have resigned to wear tennis shoes my whole life (cause all dress shoes I tried hurt after an hour), I am extremely happy that these are perfect right out of the box. They are sturdy, breathable with the upper mesh, the inserts are removable to accommodate my orthotics and just plain comfortable. I stand on my feet and walk all day for work, on concrete floors. This is very detrimental and used to be really bad for my legs and back. These shoes make a huge difference. The only con, I would love if they had other colors in the WW sizes. There is black, but only in the regular widths. It kind of kills the option of wearing a black shoe for work with dress clothes. Do buy your real size in the proper width and you won't have to go that half size bigger to accommodate your width. I will continue to buy Brooks once this pair wears out, so I hope they never discontinue them.

I have been using the Brooks Adrenaline since running my first marathon in 2007. Currently, I run four miles every day - both on a treadmill and on pavement. I wear the wide size and it is the only shoe that gives me the room and support that I need. The wide has only come in one color since I started wearing them and I wish there were a few more choices...however, I will continue to wear these wonderful shoes because they are the ONLY ones that give me the support and comfort that I need to run every day. Buy the Brooks Adrenaline!

These shoes are the best. I am wearing my third pair of this model and couldn't be happier. I walk about 30 miles per week and these have held up extremely well and are very comfortable.

I have a very wide and quite short foot. I have searched for some tennis shoes to wear during my workouts. I went to every shoe and department store to try on shoes that would be comfortable. Always my foot spread out over the sole of the shoe. Not comfortable! So I went to Zappos. Wow! Here I find a double wide. I ordered to pair in different sizes to see which felt good. To my amazement, the smaller size slipped on my foot, no overhang! I stood up and what comfort! I could wear them through the full workout and my foot felt wonderful! Finally, after all these wears of discomfort! Thank you.

I have a high arch and a high instep and this shoe gives it a lot of support. The great feeling of support and a lightweight shoe. I have not had any sport shoe more comfortable in many years. Purchase 1/2 size larger for sock room & comfort.

New favorite. These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever bought. When I read the other customers reviews I was skeptical because they sounded too good to be true. Turns out they were all right, out of the box comfort no break-in needed. Quite stylish as well. Even my 18 year old son said "nice kicks Mom." That is a huge endorsement in itself. These are my first Brooks, always wore New Balance, but may never go back if all their shoes are this good.

I love this shoe! It's been comfortable from day one for jogging and there's lots of room in the toe. I ordered a wide width and it's great for accommodating my prescribed orthotics which provide the support that I need.
