Review on Brooks Womens Adrenaline Running Shoe Sports & Fitness in Running by Cameron Head

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The seller is good, the shoes did not fit me.

The product looks great and was delivered on time, it just didn't suit me at all. I need serious, cushioned, stable shoes, but this is not it. The shoes will likely work well for others as well. I upgraded my Brooks Adrenaline GTS 17 shoes and got knee pain AND Achilles tendon problems after using these shoes for the first time. I'm prone to these issues and assumed it was all part of the break-in period. I've had a good week and even tried adding orthotics but I'm still having trouble. The insoles helped but they were 8.5m (same size as the shoes!) but there were gaps all over the toe box causing NEW forefoot PAIN! The shoes appear to be at least half a size larger and significantly wider than my old pair of the same brand/style/size. After further research, I found out that version 19 had an overhaul that completely changed the mechanics of the shoe. I wish they would stop using the Adrenaline name once they changed it completely. I am in the process of initiating a refund. Will update customer review later.
