I rotate three models of shoe, and the adrenaline is one. Whether it is the right shoe for you, I dunno. Works great for me. I am very hard on shoes because my biomechanics suck, and I can get 400-500 miles out of Adrenalines, where I might get 300 out of some other shoes.
They change the Adrenaline some from year to year, and I know lots of people who like Adrenaline year X great, but don't do so well with X+1. This hasn't been an issue for me and I've been wearing them through about 4 years' worth of models.
Again, though, shoes are per-individual things.

It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.
I have 8s and 9s. I notice no difference though some shoe guy told me some thing was done... probably to justify charging $10 more on the MSRP.
I don't think I'll be replacing them though after the last few pairs get used up. I'm enjoying running in less shoe these days.
I think the 5 pair I've used have all lasted well and have been good shoes. I get about 400 miles out of mine but pretty much move them to the treadmill rotation after 300 miles. But I'm a "husky" runner so take that for what it is worth. A lighter person could probably use them longer.
Dunno about the price, just know that the 9s didn't feel as good for me as the 8s, which was sad. Interesting that they feel the same for you.

I liked the feel of the 8s better than the 9s, too, but didn't have an issue with either one. I'm in my 3rd or 4th pair of 9s now. I've been in the series since the 6s. Supposed to be getting some 10s anytime. Most of the online reviews seem to be favorable. We'll see. I usually retire them a little over 300 miles.
MTA: There is an MSRP price drop on the 10s
Janie, today I quit my job. And then I told my boss to go f*** himself, and then I blackmailed him for almost sixty thousand dollars. Pass the asparagus.
I just took a lot at the online equipment log thing here -- a few more miles and I could have 800mi on my favorite pair of adrenaline 8s. I'm sure that is dumb wearing them that long, but I like them

Keep the running and fitness up and keep the weight from coming back.
Run more miles than last year.
I've used Adrenalines since the GTS 6, and I haven't noticed much difference from model to model. Right now you can get GTS 9's on holabirdsports.com for 69.99. I can generally get "last year's model" for this price all year long, so I never have the newest. I'll wait until next year to try the 10's.
Lush Extraordinaire
I have the GTS 9's and love them. I've put almost 500 miles on them. Usually, I can only get 300 miles out of a shoe before I start noticing that it's time to get a new pair. Not the case with my GTS 9's. I have no aches or pains at all. I've never been so happy with a shoe before.
Of course, your experience will likely be different. I just wanted to sing the praises of the Adrenaline GTS 9 shoe. I haven't tried the 10's.
You can get the 9's at runningwarehouse for $69 right now and there's a coupon code floating around for another 15% off. I have my next pair up in the closet waiting for me, whenever I'm ready.
MTA my brain is in low mode today, I was all excited to spread the Brooks love but you wear dude shoes. I wear chick shoes. Maybe this post will one day help a chick out. Feel free to ignore. At any rate, the price for the men's shoe is the same at runningwarehouse.com so at least something useful came out of my post!
