Lucky 13 is our best Adrenaline GTS yet. We paid special attention to the underfoot flex by adding Omega Flex Grooves and continuing Omni Grooves in the forefoot, allowing the outsole to bend and shape naturally. Continuing with the tradition of a tailored fit, stretch eyelets lock into the medial side to capture the foot better and technologies like Flextra and anatomical Brooks DNA deliver customized stability and cushion.

We’re not the only Adrenaline junkies out there – Runner’s World named the GTS 13 Editor’s Choice in the Fall Shoe Guide in their December 2012 issue. They call the GTS 13 a “classic stability shoe”, and quoted one wear tester as saying, “it’s soft enough that you can feel the road surface below, but there’s enough padding that you don’t feel as though you're running on concrete blocks.”

No luck here, just purely good design.

This is an excellent running shoe - I've been using Brooks Adrenaline for years, and gone through countless pairs for many half marathons. The support, sizing, and room for orthotics are perfect. Best of all: the shoe is super light weight. I tend to order a half size up and a wide because I like a little more room in my running shoes (I usually wear an 8/8.5 normal width shoe, but I get a 9D wide in the Adrenaline, just a personal preference). The only con is that until this year (2013), the colors have been pretty boring, especially for the wide sizes - but that hasn't stopped me from purchasing. It's nice to finally see a little more fun in the colors!

I have worn Brooks Adrenaline for years. I started having toe/ball of foot pain in the 12's, but once broken in, not so much. I got the 13's, and was sorely disappointed. How many people have a narrow forefoot and wide heel? Brooks CSR said to try another Adrenaline 13 to see if I had the same problem. I did, same problem. I tried lacing them differently, and I started to have achilles pain. My shoe store tried me in the Ravenna, but it did not have enough stability. I have tried other brands, but they don't work, either. I hope Brooks corrects what they have done to the Adrenaline. Bring back the wider box and narrow heel.

      I have been wearing Adrenaline GTS shoes for about 7 years. They are the only shoes I wear for athletic activities, including running (both short and long distances), bootcamp, and crossfit. I did experience some shin pain when I first wore the Adrenaline GTS 13 version to the gym, but that quickly subsided. I don't love this version quite as much as some of the earlier versons, but it's still a great shoe.

        I am not an avid runner. I typically run some while walking the dogs. With other shoes I would get back aches with only this minimal running. Likely because of inadequate arch support as I am flat footed. Not with these shoes. They are a pleasure to wear and in fact, I may become an avid runner as a result!

                I was WAY overdue for a new pair of running shoes. I have been running in a pair of Switch 3s, which I love, but are no longer available. I took to Brooks' Shoe Adviser application to steer me towards the best fit for my running specs. What it recommended was the Adrenaline 13. I have to say, I am very happy with my purchase. First, the teal color is much brighter and a bit darker than the photo appears, which made me like them even more. When I slipped them on my feet, they felt instantly comfortable and very lightweight compared to my old Switch 3s. I have a normal width foot, but I have bunions on both sides so I am used to shoes rubbing my feet in these areas during the break in period. I am happy to report no rubbing with the Adrenaline 13s!

                If these shoes fit your running style, I would absolutely recommend you give them a try.

                        I run a lot and found this shoe during the 10th editions . It was my first favorite running shoe and I have had to many wrong shoes in the past. The 13th felt heavy and loose. I was stopping frequently to retie and tighten my shoes mid run.. It cause moderate heel pain after longer runs. I currently need a new shoe, but I really dont want to purchase another 13th.. The color options are super boring as well.

I went to a running store and they recommended Brooks Adrenaline. I've been running in them since that day. I do have to wear orthotics in them. I run approximately 20-24 miles per week in my Brooks Adrenaline. I absolutely love them.
