    Comments about Mens Brooks Adrenaline GTS 11 Running Shoe:

    I've been running for 25 years and this is the best shoe to date, hands down! I average 30-40 miles per week and the Adrenaline series has met my needs for the last 3 years. This update is superb! The addition of their DNA has added incredible comfort and impact control. It is PERFECTLY true to size for me! The transition from heel strike to toe off is smoothe and controlled. These shoes truly feel like an extension of my body. HIGHLY recommend!!!

      - Great for medium distance training (up to 1/2 marathon
      - On longer runs (over 15 miles) the avg cushioning is not quite enough
      - Got fitted at the running store and they put me in a narrow and it fits great!
      - Good quality shoe and holding up well...this is the second pair I purchased.

      Comments about Mens Brooks Adrenaline GTS 11 Running Shoe:

      I went in to road runner a week ago, Looking for a shoe to replace My 'Big 5 Special' Addidas Kanadia TR 3. Which I never ever recommend getting in your life. Im training atleast 6 days a week in these 45+ Miles a week. I suffered from Achilles tendinitis in my addidas, and my only support was Kinesio Tape, Well after going to Road runner, doing the "ShoeDog" Program and these shoes being one of the selected for my foot and style I Fell in Love. In fact i bought them after I ran Mt.Sac and I Couldnt Wait to wear them the next day and go for a run. They are comfortable and have great traction, maybe not the prettiest looking shoe but they are absolutely amazing. My achilles tendinitis is getting better and better and Ive been running Atleast 6 days a week. also Training in these my mile time decreased from 5:23 to a 5:14 IN A WEEK I recommend this shoe to Anyone looking for a good comfortable shoe that increases athletic ability as well as comfortability.
      I recommend getting the custom fit orthotics too, They custom make them for you right in store and trust me they do not disappoint. The price of the orthotics Is very reasonable and they work 2x better then my doctor prescribed ones. And it only takes 20 minutes to make them in store!

          Comments about Mens Brooks Adrenaline GTS 11 Running Shoe:

          No need to look at another shoe, at least for me. I have no idea why these people say its too narrow, or to size up. When I got these shoes, the salesman said they are made for a narrow foot. Meaning those with a fatter foot should not buy them. I found them perfect. Also, NO NEED TO BUY A BIGGER SIZE. For me, they are very true to size. I was really looking forward to the first run, and instead of stopping, I kept going. May as well with this great shoe. Love the color, and reflectibility of the shoe. Very Very comfy when hanging out. Makes me want to run!!!
          Used for SD RnR marathon training. June 5th cant come soon enough.

            I have been training for a marathon and am now 35 days out. I have worn out the New Balance 1225's and dealt with hip pain and shin splints and dealt with the painful blisters that the Asic 2150's gave me. I heard about the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 11's with the DNA comfort system and the redesigned heel striking system. I had to try them! I ran 20 miles straight out of the box. No blisters, no hip pain and no shin splints! Thank you Brooks. I have found my marathon shoe.

              The heel height felt just right, seemed to give me more forward energy. The most amazing thing is that my KNEE pain went away with these shoes! I had several issues with other shoes and I think I found my perfect pair right here. Had achilles tendon pain and knee pain running on hills with 2 different pairs of shoes before this. That all DISAPPEARED when I wore these! AMAZING! It is nice to train completely pain free -- even long distances on hills! I am definitely wearing these in the Chicago Marathon.

                I use these at least 3 times a week. In gym and in lacrosse practice when I don't want to wear cleats. They are good on turf, grass, pavement, and dirt. They don't slip on wet turf at all. I run three times a week and have had no problems. I recommend getting custom insoles at Roadrunner when you get these.

                  I love this shoe. Been running in asics 2000/2100 series forever. But have not liked last two models. Were causing knee pain. Switched to this shoe and pain was gone in a few weeks. Now using to train for marathon and couldn't be happier. Plan on staying with brooks and this shoe for the long haul.

                      I am training for a marathon and i'm using two pair of shoes. The Brooks Adrenaline GTS 11s and the Asics Gel-Kayano 17s. The plan was to run the marathon in the 17s, however the Brooks feel much better and are more comfortable. I will run my long runs and the marathon in the brooks.

                          Love it. I've found what works, so why switch. I've owned the last 5 versions of the GTS 11. Consistently good shoe. No major changes other than color designs.

                          Everything is perfect. Extremely grippy on wet grass, and fast on a gym floor. The DNA on the right shoe is half a cm. too small, though.

                            Alternate two pair of these shoes for 20 to 30 miles a week. These shoes were recommended after stride analysis along with Asics GT-2xxx. They are a little lighter than Kayanos I had been using.

                                  This is one of the best shoe deals out there in my opinion. Why spend $30 extra for Asics when it's all in the Brooks?

                                    After trying many different brands/ models I have found these the best and am into my 4th pair. This newer version is even more comfortable than the last - and yes straight out of the box I have run 10 - 15 miles no problems. I have tried a couple of different Asics, but these Brooks have been much better for me. If you're unsure about width, go for the wide, I did with my last pair and find them even more comfirtable (there is plenty of room to still tighten up the laces comfortably)
