I have been running in the Brooks Addiction for about 7 years and decided to try out the Adrenaline when I had a coupon for Dicks and they didn't stock the Addiction in the store. Well, I came to Amazon to buy a second pair of Adrenaline's because I love them and wanted to be able to rotate shoes for longer training runs, plus I ran on the beach in my first pair and just can't seem to get all of the sand out :). These shoes as well as the Addiction are for those with slight over-pronation. They are light and have a lot of room in the toe box so you can wiggle your toes. My foot is a little wider at the front, but not enough that I have to buy wide shoes, normally in any women's shoe I can wear a regular width. These shoes will last you for lots of miles running on paths and trails; I do run on paved, dirt, and rocky surfaces and have never had any problems. If you are looking for a good quality running shoe I highly recommend checking out the Brooks brand, they have something for all types of stances and weights. I've read a lot of negative things about the gel shoes on the market for runners so I like to stick to my Brooks knowing that my joints will be supported as I run and my stride corrected with the additional interior support in the footbed.

I was incorrectly fitted for this shoe at my local running store, so I can't give a very thorough review. What I can tell you to be aware of is the width: I normally wear a medium or B, and in this shoe I should've been in a narrow or A. Unfortunately, I didn't realize this until I aired a few complaints at a different running store and the salesclerk had me try the narrower width. It fit like a glove, and imagine it would've been perfect.

I also required a 1/2 size larger than my street shoes, but this is fairly common with running shoes.

That said, there are some things I really like about this shoe: the upper is mostly mesh, which makes it nice and light for a trainer, and very breathable. Combined with Thorlo CoolMax socks, I had no sweaty feet issues, even in the summer.

The shoe is also very supportive for those with mild overpronation and medium to flat arches. Toe-off felt muddy to me, probably due to the width, but the shoes had great cushioning and seemed to provide good shock absorption.

They also didn't seem to require any breaking in. Ready to go out of the box, as it should be.

Overall, this is certainly a shoe worth trying on. I trained for and ran a half-marathon in mine. Just be wary of the width.

I love the Brooks Adrenaline because I don't feel injured after I run in them. I am in intermittent runner, I don't run far distances, but I am prone to shin splints and joint pain after just a little running. I think that Brooks makes a superior product.

I walk about 6 miles a day and these shoes are so comfortable for my feet. They fit like a glove, lightweight and the mesh is great in the California heat.

I love this shoe. I was lucky enough to get fitted for a running shoe at a specialty store in MD(charm city run). I have been wearing the adrenaline for 3 years! I am a mild pronator and have high arches. I am also very wide in ball of my foot and narrow in the heal. The shoe is super comfortable with an awesome gel bed and the mesh on the toe box allows air in while you run. This is great on a hot day if you are wearing tech socks because it feels like air conditioning for your toes!. The shoe seems to get better with every new version. I've run half marathons in this shoe with no rubbing or toe cramping. Best shoe ever!

I wear these on long walks EVERYDAY. They are comfortable, and for the first time ever, I feel like I'm walking straight. I love these shoes, and couldn't walk my normal 3 hour walks without them. Thank you!

I always buy the same running shoe - the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 6. Unfortunately that style has been discontinued so it has been difficult to find. I thought that the GTS 7 would probably be pretty much the same, maybe even better so I decided to try it.

It's not a terrible shoe, but I think the GTS 6 is much better. I do a lot of long runs and the GTS 7 doesn't have as much cushioning. It actually feels like the GTS 6 after about 200 miles of running. I think it would probably be better for shorter distances like 2-3 miles or walking.

We are very happy with these shoes. My daughter has been running Cross Country and Track for four years and has always bought this style. Many of her teammates wear them as well. They are a very good shoe for the price.

This is the 11th pair of Brooks Adrenaline shoes I have bought. As a distance runner I couldn't be happier

These shoes are the best! This is my 3rd pair and I have trained for a marathon and many other short races in them. They are the lightest shoes with great stability!
