"I've been in the Adrenaline for about 5 years now, and I keep going back to it because it has the best feel I've found in support shoes for mild/moderate-overpronators. Great for putting in the miles, but a bit heavy for racing, unless you're heavier, or need the extra support."agriffes

(5)

Quality of Construction

never had any defects, and the shoe generally holds up pretty well over many miles

(5)

Fit

Comes down to individual feel, but these work the best for my feet

(5)

Comfort

Maybe because I'm used to them, but the lacing system, inner material and ventilation all contribute to an all-round comfortable shoe. I'm never really conscious that I'm wearing these.

(3)

Durability

upper holds up well, but I'm convinced someone can develop cushioning that lasts more than ~6 months!

(4)

Value

A great shoe for under $100. Wouldn't mind paying less though.

(4)

Appearance

I preferred my all-black GTS-7s, which stood out in a see of white running shoes. My current white/blue GTS-8s are pretty generic.

(4)

Customer Service

Bought from Boston Running Co. - the salesman was knowledgeable and friendly, and gave me some good other options to compare.

(4)

Performance

a pretty responsive shoe, but could maybe be a bit lighter. That's why I race in Axioms.

Strengths

Tried n true technology, responsiveness, supportive but not cumbersome

Weakness

a little on the stiff side, a bit heavy
