After experiencing blisters and sore feet, I went to a running store where they analyzed my foot structure and running style to determine my problem, and then offered several different shoes that they suggested would make a difference. I chose Brooks and have now been wearing this shoe almost exclusively for 3 1/2 years. Contrary to what some reviewers have said, I've found that Brooks holds up a fair amount longer than other shoes I've worn -- even up to 200 miles more. They're comfortable, not too heavy and give my feet a little spring. I would just recommend that you never buy a shoe that you haven't tried on and run in before (go to a retailer with a treadmill). Then you can buy shoes online. This is my favorite shoe but it may not be right for you.

Been running for 15 years, 20 to 50 miles a week, depending on weather. Light frame with low arch. Like cushioning and stability. Have tried many brands through the years and was last devoted to Saucony. Tried Adrenaline GTS 5 for first time several months ago and love them. At first felt a little less cushioned than expected, but the stability and support compensate for this and lead to a better run overall. Am about to order a few more pairs before they phase out to the GTS 6.

I bought these to train for Grandmas marathon 2005. I ran alot of miles in them. I had problems with My ITB but I don't know if these shoes were the cause or if I just over trained. The shoes were comfortable for the most part. I think I'll try a different shoe this year. Any suggestions?

At first I wasn't sure I would like these. After wearing them for the first time I found out how great they are. They are very soft and light giving a perfect ride. I had been having some knee and hip pain running in my previous pair of Nike Shox. These fixed it immediatley. I recommend these to anyone.

Best running shoe I have ever worn. I find they do break down on me after 350 miles but or worth the money. I hope the 6 is as good as the 5 but I know how these companies always mess with a good thing. Guess that's why I have been thru Asics, Mizuno, and on to Brooks over the last 10 years. Most of their updates are detrimental to the series.

I have run in this shoe for two and a half years. I ordered my 7th pair today. I have never had a blister or even a rub. I get about 450 miles per pair. I won't buy anything else. I hope the GTS-6 is as good.

After being in Asics 2080 for two years, I switched to these per the advice of my local running store. From the very first run in them, they have caused muscle strain in my calves and shins. I hate these shoes and can't wait to buy new ones!

After spending years in Saucony and loving them, I am a true Brooks shoes fan. These shoes are the best running shoes I've ever had! I've had them for a month and have had no problems with my knees or feet. My runs are wonderful and my distance and times are better than ever. I'll be buying a pair to keep in the closet for when these retire!

IMHO, the best shoe I have ever owned and I have tried a lot in the past 2 years. This is my first pair of Brooks and I am in love. They are light for the amount of stability and cushion they offer. They do this by keeping the top/fabric part of the shoe very light. This leads to a lukewarm first impression I think. When you first slip they on they do not feel as comfy or luxurious as other brands . . . but when you wear them - run in them, they are extremely comfy and they perform great for me. Enough cushion, but not to much. BTW - I think these are MUCH better than the Trance.

Awesome cushioning shoes! This is a great shoe! For the first 6 months of this year I was unable to run due to a running injury I was recovering from, a stress-fractured tibia. When I went to the running store to purchase new running shoes for my first steps back onto the asphalt, these were the cushioning shoes they recommended. Although I had been an Asics believer, marathon after marathon, now I have switched to Brooks. I am looking to buy my alternate pair now.

As a former runner returning tot he sport, I really had no idea of the type of shoe I needed. In my former running days, true cushioned runners were what I needed, but that wasn't working out for me when I returned to running. I kept having knee pain and I was almost ready to give up (again). I visited a running store and the owner suggest these shoes. Although a departure from what I'm used to, they worked great. I felt they didn't change my running stride and the helped immensely with the knee issues. The one issue I have is when I do my warm up/cool down walks; these shoes are not nearly as comfortable then as other shoes. All in all, a pretty good shoe.

A revelation! I suffered through horrible foot problems earlier in the year due to badly fitting shoes. Brooks stocked this wonderful shoe in a 13EEEE size, which I ordered. Even though I have been running mountain marathons and endurace runs, NO MORE foot problems. I used this shoe also on several 10K races, the last of which I got my PB time for the year. The Adrenaline is remarkably soft. Close to a perfect shoe, though the souls did wear out more quickly then expected- though I suppose my mountain running was the main culprit. I have happily purchased my second pair...

The Adrenaline fits like a glove and provides the perfect support and cushion for me as I run. No aches, no pains, and I'm running farther and easier than ever before.

Hi, I am 5'8'' 170lbs. These shoes are awesome. Its very comfortable and light. I've been using brooks shoes for all my training, but for some reason I switched to NB this year, and that was a big mistake. The NB(755brand) was giving me foot pain and knee pain. As soon as I made the switch to GTS 5, all the pain is gone. These shoes have made running fun again.

I have purchased 4 or 5 pairs of these over the years. I'm 5'8", 200 lbs and I get 400-500 miles out of each pair. There is literally no break in period and I've used these for marathons, triathlons, and all training runs. Never had a major foot issue while training in these. I'd recommend these to anyone needing a wide toe box. I've traditionally went up a 1/2 size, but I going to try going up a full size this time.

I'm a 6', 185 lbs. runner with mild overpronation. After using many different shoes by many different companies, I have finally found the two shoes that work best in my rotation, the Adrenaline GTS 5 and the Asics 2100. I have had knee problems for years and the Adrenaline and 2100 are the only shoes that I can run in pain free.

well ive been running for 2 years XC and track (break in the middle for swimming) and im about 105 lbs. and 5'4" and i just got these shoes and they've been feeling great. the wide midsole help correct my foot's inner rollover on the tail end of my kick and has great cushioning and support, maybe a little less than the asics gel 2100 but its a sacrifice for the wider midsole. i hope it proves to be a great trainer as i have heard from other reviews.

I am a relatively new runner...4'11" 120 lb female with a bad back and knees...these shoes fit me great. I always have a problem with too wide a heel or too narrow a toe box, but these are just right. These shoes provided me with great support and in response I have been able to increase the length of my runs. Perfect.

I was looking for a shoe to replace the Nike Span Triax. The Shox 2:45 was not it. I decided to try Brooks. I like the fit of the shoe. I'm 6-00, 175lbs., have a low arch, but run neutral. Overall, these shoes are pretty good. They have just the right amount of stability. However, I wish they had a little more cushion. I miss the springiness of the Nike Span Triax. For short runs, these are good. However, I did a 30k, and my feet were feeling dead. I need to find a more cushioned shoe to rotate with these for long runs. Any suggestions?

Great fitting shoe. I have a hard time finding shoes that don't have heel slippage. I'm 6'2, 200 lbs and wear 13 B shoes and am on my third pair. I'm getting about 250 miles per pair--lighter runners should get a bit more. The only complaint I have is the forefoot cushioning. A little more would be nice for longer runs.
