Brooks Women's 'Adrenaline ASR 5' Running Shoes

I ordered these shoes thinking they would be great for running. I was quite disappointed after my first run. The shoes are too heavy for my feet. I decided to keep them because they are very comfortable for walking and to wear while doing chores around the house, but they were just not the right running shoes for me.

I can't pass up a great deal on a good brand of running shoe. I bought a pair of Brooks for my hubby from the "O" last year, and he loves them so I thought what the heck. I have small but wide feet and brands like Nike do not fit me at all. Although this shoe is narrow, It is shaped perfectly and feels very supportive in all the right places. I am looking forward to trying them out at the gym tonight.The color is Reflective metallic grey, not white as it appears in the picture but I don't care because I have another pair like that and we often ride bikes or walk the dogs in the dark so the reflective material is a plus. I am a true 5.5 but I always order a 6 in athletic shoes to allow for expansion during a workout and keep from smashing my toe nail in to the shoe when making abrupt stops playing tennis. I would say these run a half size small as the 6 feels like a 5.5 and my right foot being a tad bigger feels a little more crowded in the shoe and I wear thin athletic socks so my advice is to order a half size or full size larger than normal.

I have been wearing Brooks running shoes for the last six years and I've never been dissapointed. I bought this pair as a Christmas present, so my review is largely based on the comments that I received from the gift recipient: Comfortable shoes with a neutral platform; runs a little big and has an especially wide toebox (to be fair though, the gift recipient does have the tiniest of feet); and is a little more gray than pictured, but sill fairly stylish. The gift recipient is very happy with the shoes!

very nice looking, true to size and very comfortable...first time buyer for sneakers and not a problem
