Customer Reviews Brooks Adrenaline GTS 20

Thanks to Zappos for allowing me to try and return numerous shoes, I found a new brand of shoes for my extra wide feet - Brooks. I have only worn them for a week, but they are as light as a feather, they don’t look like old lady shoes, and they are not too high on my ankles.

The length of the shoes was just right but my little toes felt squished. I don't have very wide feet but need good toe box room. Very disappointed. I am returning them. Thanks, Zappos!

Brooks run too narrow for my wide feet. I would have to purchase an EE size plus I have morton's neuroma and the 12mm heel to toe drop is too much unless the toe box has lots of cushioning. This shoe is very good but not for my difficult feet.

My standard size is 8. Had to return and order half size larger. Used once so far. Comfortable fit and seemed to offer good support.

Prefect fit. So comfortable. The shoe is lighter than in the past and not quite as springy as past adrenalines. But still feels great and supportive.

Review for the Adrenaline 20. I first ordered these in my normal size 8 and felt they were too small. I exchanged for a size 8.5 and they feel right. I ended up going with the emerald color which is pretty and unique. It does have a bit of shimmer / glittery threads in it which I was not expecting, but am okay with it. If you don't want sparkle, don't get this color. I have fallen arches (normal arches which flatten when I stand) so I hate any arch support in a shoe. It just causes blisters and pushes my feet into an unnatural position causing other issues. I want my flat feet to stay flat like I was born with. That being said, these do have some arch support which I find annoying. I wish it didn't have any, but am finding it harder and harder to find a shoe without. It isn't high enough where it's a deal breaker like all the HOKAS I've tried, but I do notice it. No blisters yet. Wish the toe box was a bit wider, more like a natural foot shape. My toes felt slightly scrunched. Overall I like enough to keep, mainly because I don't want to keep sending shoes back every week. Stores are all closed due to stay at home restrictions, so I can't go to a physical store to try on and am getting frustrated because I need new running shoes. I'll update my review after I've gotten some more miles in them. So far I just did a few miles to test.

Might have been a bit narrowin the toe box. I have a fairly narrow foot.

I was used to GTS 18 and thought these would suffice but the shoes were too big, altho the same size as the GTS 18.

These shoes are definitely not as comfortable as the Adrenaline 19 (which they no longer make). There is not as much padding, so the bottom of my feet get sore after a mile or so. Disappointed, because the “walking on clouds” feeling is non-existent. Going to give them a few more days, but they might have to be returned.

I didn’t like the feel of this shoe as well as the nineteen right out of the box. After I wore them for couple of hours they rubbed my inside heel on the left foot and I could feel the the hardness of the heel support with my hand. Something feels very wrong. There was a difference between the right and left shoe. I am returning them for another 20 in hopes that it was a manufacturing issue.

Like the color and feel of the sneaker

I read all the reviews about the toe being to narrow but I loved the look of the shoe and bought them. Probably should have listened to the reviews. The toe is definitely narrow. My foot doesn't hurt while wearing them but hurts when I take them off. May have to send them back.

The fit and size are true. I'm not a fan of the cloth uppers; am I the only Brooks user whose big toes wear a hole in the lining? I bought the shoe for the extra cushioning, and did find it true, however, I needed several outings before the footbed adjusted to my foot.

This shoe runs a little small in my opinion. I ordered my standard size 9 wide and my toes were at the very end of the shoe. Had to return for a 9 1/2. They are well cushioned and feel good. We'll see how long the cushioning lasts.

seemed the new gts 20 was a little small, length and width....still a great shoe and brand.

Fit was pretty good and comfy. Fee stuff and clunky but I’m giving them a try.

I tried several inserts and could not make them comfortable although I really did want to keep them for looks and waterproof and stability features. I like the wide toe box.

First pair of 20s. So far so good. Digging the anniversary color.

These sneakers are extremely comfortable. I need a wide shoe with a high toe box. I was hoping that the others that I ordered would fit the bill, but these were the winners. A little clunky, but they are sneakers after all.

There is a change with this model. It seems larger than before. Not enough to send them back however!

These sneakers fit perfectly. The only problem was, after wearing them for awhile, I felt like I did not have any ankle support. I am used to wearing leather shoe/sneakers and this new style just doesn't work for me.

I really like the design of the new Adrenaline's! I usually wear men's shoes because I like wider toe box and need a longer shoe than most companies provide. I purchased my normal size in a wide and found it was too wide. But the arch support was amazing! My knees were totally happy in these shoes and so were my feet. I'm thinking a normal width will work great for me.

I like these shoes. I use them for work for 12 hour shifts and my feet stay happy the whole time. I didn’t have a lot of options for my huge feet but these fit well and broke in quickly.

I have worn Brooks for the past 2 years and they are always the most comfortable tennis shoe I have ever worn. Very stylish tennis shoe.
