What runners say
“The heel counter was elevated from the previous models, and caused both Achilles tendons to become too irritated”
“Went from a fairly firm but normal stability shoe to a motion control space boot type of thing”
“I've only had 2 running-related injuries while maintaining 40–100 miles/week”
“Brooks also elevated the heel counter, which caused both Achilles tendons to become inflamed”
“The narrow size fits my feet well and I don't have problems with my heels coming out”
“The sizing is about 1/2 size too small”
“It took a long time to break in, and the toe box is tighter, which makes my toes rub against one another”
“Great for long runs, doesn't have very much pop for faster uptempo type stuff”
“It has enough support on its own, without orthotics, to feel good”
“Seems a little narrower than previous years—I feel like my outsole is riding out outside ridge of the shoe”
“The shoe just feels way too stiff and clunky”
“Provides me with the proper stability that I need for my flat feet”
“This shoe is too wide for me, even wearing the B width”
“Great for high mileage”
“I had to buy .5 size larger”
“Great comfort and an easy ride”
“I need the support that the Adrenaline provides in its posting”
“Lasted longer than I thought it would”
