I picked a pair up and absolutely love them. I have also received a number of compliments on them from a wide age range of people, including some girls in their 20s who struck up a conversation in the airport about them. It felt pretty good.

Not a serious runner, (about 700 miles a year) and believe shoes are personal preference.
Have run in brooks Raveena, launch and Adrenaline, ASICS kayano and even Nike structure
I personally enjoy brooks the most. Kayano were way too cushioned for me and lasted the least distance. All brooks Nike have crossed 500 mile mark after I felt it starting to bother my running. Whereas, Kayano lasted about 350 miles.
No surface tears or cosmetic failures in any of the shoes, only sole wear due to running.
Some one gave a very good advice on the other adrenaline gts post - buy you first shoe from a local store where they check the running form and let u run in couple of shoes. Pay the premium for their service and then buys year close out models 👍🏼
I was also surprised to see the glycerin gts, but since adrenalin retails around 129 its more like the ghost. Glycerin start usually around 160
edit: just saw that the Ghost go for 140 original. which I find weird pricing for a neutral shoe, 20 bucks more is nothing, so all would go for Glycerin then?

I would suggest a New Balance 1080v12. It's highly cushioned with a rocker geometry and has a comfortable upper. Some color ways are selling for half price at various online stores and even less at bricks and mortar locations.

That's my point. Many years ago I am positive adrenaline gts use to retail for same or slightly more than glycerin, around 160-170. I am talking maybe 6-8 years ago.
That commenter has no idea what he's talking about. They're 2 completely different shoes for different type of feet. I would know I've tried them both and I own many Ghosts generations. Personally I need the Ghosts for their heel support since I have Achilles Tendonitis and I don't have a big arch. The Adrenaline's main focus is arch support. My girlfriend uses Adrenalines. I liked how they looked on her so I bought some men versions to see if I can still manage to wear them. NOPE! They hurt my feet and triggered my Achilles tendonitis, not because they're bad shoes, in fact they're really good shoes, it's just that the Adrenalines are not for my type of feet. It's like comparing oranges to apples. You gotta stick to shoes designed for your feet.
I highly recommend you go to a Fleet Feet store if you have one nearby and have them scan your feet so you know what kind of shoes are for your feet. The scan is free and you don't have to buy anything. Then just remember your scan (I think they can even email it) and buy your shoes online at a discount somewhere.

How are the adrenalines, stiff or more cushioning?
Find the glycerin 20s uncomfortable, too soft/cushion
