The new Adrenaline GTS 11 brings together the shoe's revered fit and feel -- enhanced with a dynamic arch saddle and better conforming materials -- and the custom cushioning and dynamic responsiveness of industry-leading Brooks DNA technology. A match made in heaven is how we think of this noteworthy union.
We’re not alone: Runner’s World awarded the Adrenaline GTS 11 "Best Update" in their Winter 2010 Shoe Guide in their December 2010 issue, on newsstands November 9.
One of our wear testers said "I loved the addition of the DNA. They felt so much more cushioned and stable than the 10s. After putting the Adrenaline 10s back on because I wore the 11s out, I really prefer the 11s."

I walk 5 to 7 miles a day up and down hills. I had plantar fasciitis about 2 years ago and my podiatrist cured me and fitted me with a custom pair of orthotics. He highly recommended the Brooks Adrenaline shoe for me as it offered lateral support. I have purchased at least 10 pair over the last two years. My most recent pair is the 11th Edition. They feel stiffer than every previous pair I have had. After speaking to your customer service it appears you have changed some of the midsole material from a gel to a DNA material. The 11th Edition has never felt comfortable. I wish you still made the 10th Edition with the gel in the midsole. I am going back to my athletic shoe store and try some other styles of Brooks like the Trance and Addiction. I hope one of those works.

        I run 4 times a week and alternate between two shoes, GTS-11 are my new shoes.
        Extremely light weight, could feel the arch support at start of my first run, but it quickly adapted to my feet,by the end of the run my regular run became tempo run.. due to cushioning and light weight of the shoes :)!.

        Comments about Adrenaline GTS 11:

        I like the Adrenaline shoes and use them with a inserts to give me added arch support and with cushion/stability running socks when additional support is needed. I liked the old Radius line of shoes better (used them for 5 years) and also used inserts with them but never had to use that combination with special running socks. Even so, the Adrenaline shoes are very good for running 45-50 miles per week. BTW, I have tried most other major brands of running shoes but always come back to Brooks.

          I need double E shoes but local stores only carry my width in the highest end models. These fit well and don't break the bank. They feel great as an everyday shoe.

            I've run in adrenalines for several years. I like the fact that Brooks doesn't dramatically redesign this shoe every year like other companies seem to do. This has allowed me to continue to use the same model year after year. Love the all black version so I can wear it around town and on vacation and use it to run in also.

              I do quite a bit of walking, avg 15 miles per week. I have bought the Aderlines before and liked them. I knew I wouldn't be disappointed. All I need to do is give them a test run on a long walk and really see how they do.

                I am loving these shoes! I have been him-hawing about buying Brooks for years and I finally had had enough, I took the plunge! I am so happy I took the chance, I have been an avid Adidas Supernova Glide with the occasional Saucony Hurricane over the years. There's always that break in, especially getting used to a different rub on my heel/achilles area. The low back these shoes have completely eliminates that! The moment I slipped these shoes on they felt as if they molded to my feet and I ran w/o any complications immediately! I'm training for my first 1/2 marathon this year and I am even more excited about it with these wonderful new shoes! Thank you for delivering on the words of so many faithful customers! On top of that, very fast shipping! You have earned one more!

                  Good thing blogs and company recommended 1/2 size larger.... worked out well. Just a tad bit tight ( I need wide EE widths) in left shoe but manageable. Will be using this to train for 1/2 and full marathon.
