    Run 30+ miles weekly in these for over 3 years now.... usually change them out around 500 miles but I have stretched to 750 without any issues. I am 220 lbs and a toe runner. Great shoe in both this version and the off road edition. No complaints!

      Comments about Mens Brooks Adrenaline GTS 12 Running Shoe:

      Until this shoe I was an Asics faithful, but recently nothing had been fitting my foot right. The moment I tried this shoe on I knew it was my new shoe. It doesn't feel like I have weights on my feet and they are more an extension of my feet than an accessory. At 200 lbs, the cushioning is more than adequate.

            This shoe is great alternative to the Asics 2100 series. I love both shoes but the 12 works best for me. Shoe is ready to go right out of the box and is pretty durable as I have logged hundreds of miles in them for marathon training

              I returned to running last year.I was very comfortable with the GTS11 and had no injuries.I find the GTS12 to be stiffer with less cushioning, though I am sure that many runners would be happy with this shoe. It would be nice if manufacturers would "update" their shoes by changing the colors and not the structure. Because I have a wide foot, I am having trouble finding the GTS 11 in my size.

              I would expect it to be more flexible.
              Very comfortable shoes but little heavy than what I used to run with - suacony triumph 9
              I would recommend this shoes to slow runners not to fast runners

                Running 25 miles aweek,i have ran over 45,000 miles in my life time,the Gts 12 gives you a nice forward roll,which gives you less stress on the legs,i have used some Asics in the past ,and they make me feel flat footed,like the front of the shoes is working against me,over the last 25 years,the Brooks are my favorite,and the Gts SERIES is Great.

                    Comments about Mens Brooks Adrenaline GTS 12 Running Shoe:

                    Am a longtime Brooks Beast shoe guy....was advised by Phy. Therapist to try the Brooks Adrenaline which I found to be light and comfy....but thought bottom sole wore out too quickly ( alternating 2 pairs ) versus the Beast. The wearout factor creates an uncomfortable feel in ball area of my feet.

                    Shoe is worn running slowly on asphalt....maybe a better path / trail shoe. Otherwise a nice show....looking forward to trying the new version.

                    Was advised by Phy Therapist and a running store to change from the heel-toe running style to a more flatfooted style...hence my change to the Adrenaline shoe. ANY THOUGHTS ?

                        Switched to these from the neutral and performance-neutral brooks models due to PF and Achilles issues. Was concerned about these feeling heavy and clunky after running in minimal type shoes, but my concerns are unfounded. I did a 20-Miler right out of the box with these. Great cushioning and pronation support, but flexible and not heavy feeling at all. I also have blister issues, but these shoes took care of that as well. Most comfortable shoe I've ever worn.

                        It's my fourth pair, I've being training / running with them for more than a year. I've run a marathon, several 10k races and some triathlons with no pain or disconfort in the knees or the legs. And they are ready to run right from the box.

                        I've ran in many models of Nikes for the past 7 years, around 8 pairs of the structure triax. This is my first pair of Brooks and love them! I am however pretty disappointed with how quickly the tread has become worn out. I'm 150 lbs, a 2:36 marathoner, mostly run on pavement and gravel. Have found after only 300 miles the shoes felt shot. I've heard 300 miles is a safe time to replace shoes but am used to putting on 400-500 miles before replacing. This is my second pair of Brooks, I love them, but not sure why they are wearing down so quickly.

                        I run in the gts 11 and it was time to replace them with the new 12. The new 12 don't have the same front cushion that the 11 had and the 12 didn't feel right on my let ankle. I ran two 2 mile run and one 3 mile run and it just didn't fell right. I am trying the Nike structure 15 now I hope they will work for me i might go back to the GTS 12 but I want to try other options first. I would recommend this show but its not for me.

                          I recently tried my first pair and am very pleased. I was a heavy user of the New Balance 1220 series which have been discontinued. I find the Adrenaline GTS to have similar performance but with less weight. I'm now a Brooks fan.

                            I'm 5'9 medium built and run 3 miles every day.These are the worst running shoe ever. I have the last years model i loved them but these are the total opposite. No cushioning, no arch support and way to stiff. Road runner was kind any let me return them after a few run. I ended up buying the lasts years version again and they were on sale. Love the GTS 11's

                              I use these shoes for running and calisthenics days. The shoe was great right out of the box and continues to impress me. I typically dont like to go with the "popular" shoe, but I cant express my satisfaction with this shoe enough. The price of the shoe is reasonable and I plan to be a long time customer.

                              The Adrenaline 12 is just okay. It doesn't have the great feel that the 11 had. To me, it feels too firm and stiff. Like one of the other reviewers, I prefer the 11 much more than the 12. I don't understand why shoe companies feel the need to make significant changes to shoes that have sold so well, like the Adrenaline 11 has.
