I've been running in the Adrenalines for about 2 years now. I started in 10's, went to 11's.
I wear a size 10.. I just bought the adrenaline 12's in a 10. My toes smash up against the edge when I run. fine. I exchanged them for a 10.5.. to big, my feet slide around.
What the heck. anyone else have issues with the new 12's?
I guess i'm going to get fitted for a different pair of shoes. bummer.

I was having issues with them when I first started running in them back in November - I think they changed the midsole to make you land more on the ball of your foot than the heel, so my calves were getting really sore really quickly. I did get used to them eventually, though. I didn't have any problems with the sizing, though.
Yes, I went to be fitted again last week. They stuck me in the 12s and I hate the fit. They sized me up from an 8.5 to a 9 and the shoe felt so heavy! When running, I was noticing a weird hump in my arch too.
I ordered some 11s online. I'm not sure what I'm going to do when I can't get anymore 11s. I'm thinking of buying a bunch of them.
ETA: I asked what was different about the 12s. It's the heel. It's designed to flow from heel to toe better. I really dislike it.

OH good, I'm glad it's not just me. I knew the heel had been changed, but I didn't notice it when I tried them on in the store. I didn't run in them, just tried them on since i've been wearing adrenalines for a while now.
The hump in the arch is annoying. I had that in my last pair of 11's.. it was way more prominate in my right foot so i switched the insert.
ugh. guess i'm definitely going to get fitted again.

I have been running in adrenalines for years - i think i might have started with 9's. anyway, i went to buy new ones the other day and HATED how the 12's fit - so weird, kinda bulky. just hated them.
i ended up going with asics "gels" that i am loving.
I feel like I must be oblivious or something...I just got my second pair of Adrenaline 12's a week or so ago and don't think I really noticed a difference between my 11's and the 12's :$

I have narrow & long feet. I ran 4 miles on the TM in the size 10's and the entire time my toes were smashing into the edge. Then I got the 10.5s and my feet were practically swimming in them. They were way to wide. It was really obvious they were to big.
If you don't have issues with them, i wouldn't worry about it =)
Yes! I thought I was the only one, too. I was just about to go back to my lrs & try/get the next size up, but now I'm thinking they're going to be too big. Bummer. I've been wearing this shoe for 3+ years. I'm scared to get totally new-to-me shoes right as I'm getting into marathon training mode. Boo.

I start training for my 1st full mid August - it definitely doesn't thrill me to start a brand new pair of shoes either.. i should get them ASAP so I can get a lot of miles on them before training starts.
I normally wear an 8 (also a pretty narrow foot, but wore an 8 regular), but had the same problem with the Adrenaline 12's and bought a pair of 8.5's. They were HUGE, but I ran in them none the less. I didn't really need a stability shoe, so tried the Ravenna's, which are in between a neutral and stability shoe. The Ravenna 3's fit MUCH better (and they're cute, too). Hope you find another pair that works better!
Update: I took my regular size (9.5) back & tried on 10s and they aren't too loose! I did an 8mi run in them Sat & a hills workout in them this morning with no issues. I did lace them up fairly tight, though. I hope you find a new shoe, SS!
Ps I can't believe I have size 10 shoes! I wore 8.5s in street shoes up until my second pregnancy when my feet looked like marshmallows stuffed into shoes so I went up to 9s. Then add half size for running shoes & now another half size in this shoe.
