By xiaolong from Salt Lake City, UT on 09/29/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Good Traction Best Uses: Gym, Pavement, Track Describe Yourself: Gym Rat Sizing: Feels true to size Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Have been using Brooks Adrenaline GTS, but decided to try these out. Seem to be working out great so far. My arches and shins had started bothering me but they aren't bothering me any more.
By Endurance runner from Shelton, CT on 09/29/2009 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable, Flexible, Good Traction, Lightweight, Stable Best Uses: Gym, Pavement, Track Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Sizing: Feels half size too small Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I bought the shoes for my daughter, who just turned 11 years old but with women's size feet. The shoes are definitely half-a-size small; we had to return the shoes with her usual size as they were too tight of a fit, both length-wise and width-wise. She likes them as they are light and good fit (after the switch.) The reflective coating on the shoes does come up bright in the dark making it noticeable.
The shoes are good for a novice runner as well as an endurance runner. I, myself, have a pair of Brooks shoes.
Light, comfy, great support! By Nearly Fifty from Northeast Florida on 09/28/2009 Pros: Absorbs Shock, Breathable, Comfortable, Flexible, Good Traction, Lightweight, Stable Best Uses: Gym, Pavement, Track Describe Yourself: Gym Rat Sizing: Feels half size too small Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Haven't worn Brooks in over 20 years. I'm a pronator, and as I get older, I need more support. Also need a roomy toe box and I like mesh for breathability. These fit the bill on all accounts! They feel great right out of the box. Definitely size up 1/2 size for optimal fit.

So far so good. Good to know that can run in these shoes too if I wanted to. Great price! [...]
Close fit to the Adrenaline By trail pixie trespas from Andover, MA on 09/18/2009 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable Cons: Seams might rub, Short tongue Best Uses: Gym, Pavement, Track Describe Yourself: Competitive Athlete Sizing: Feels true to size Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I ordered these a half size larger as suggested BUT they were too long--my heal slipped. I usually wear an 8.5 wide in the Brooks Adrenaline but the Brooks Switch in a 9 (B) were a bit too long despite having a perfect width.
By ski.mama from dutch john, ut on 08/25/2009 Pros: Absorbs Shock, Breathable, Comfortable, Flexible, Good Traction, Lightweight, Stable Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Sizing: Feels true to size Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I've recently started running again, and my dad, who runs marathons recommended brooks. I got them in the mail, slipped them on and my feet sang sweet comfort. I love them. The first time i used them i went on a 4 mile hike. my feet were loving them. no problems what so ever. I was advised to buy them 1/2 size bigger than my true size. That worked out perfect. I enjoy many recreational activities, hopefully i can wear these shoes for all types of things. So far it's a great running shoe!
By daily walker from Mill River, MA on 08/24/2009 Describe Yourself: Gym Rat Sizing: Feels half size too small Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I was interested in a stable shoe for walking and running, but since this Brooks was too small I returned it. Definitely order up!
By nightrunner from washington on 08/18/2009 Pros: Absorbs Shock, Breathable, Comfortable, Flexible, Lightweight Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Sizing: Feels true to size Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I got these to replace some new balance shoes I've had for 3 plus years now (which were too small, turns out)... so I'm comparing these Brooks to some pretty bad shoes, but, I am extremely happy w/ this purchase. Somehow I got them for [$] and they feel like "a million bucks." Very good shock absorption, very lightweight. I think i pronate a bit and these seem to neutralize my foot strike. In most shoes, I wear an 8 1/2 or a 9. I chose these in a size 9 and there's just enough room. Definitely recommended.
By Trail Hopper from Denver, Colorado on 08/16/2009 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable, Lightweight, Stable Describe Yourself: Gym Rat Sizing: Feels true to size Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I wear these shoes for everything. I absolutely love them. This is my first pair of Brooks and I've already ordered another.
I love Brooks shoes....... By Karen from Maryland on 08/03/2009 Pros: Absorbs Shock, Breathable, Comfortable, Flexible, Good Traction, Stable Describe Yourself: Competitive Athlete Sizing: Feels true to size Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I pretty much exclusively wear Brooks running shoes. I LOVE the Axiom because it is soooo light weight for a trainer. I decided to give the Switch a try because the weight of the shoe on Sierra Trading Post was listed as the same as the Axiom...and there was a great sales price on them:) I do like the Switch, but it IS NOT as light weight. In fact it is .8 oz. heavier than the Axiom. I still like the shoes quite a bit, but will only wear them on runs up to about 8 miles. Anything longer, I want the lighter Axiom. I'm more of a fanatic about the weight of a shoe than most people though.
