Customer Reviews Brooks Adrenaline GTS 22

After a few 4 mile runs in these I am happy so far. Good support, stability, and fit. I see what others say about the laces but it’s not really a problem for me as I needed to tighten them anyway so they are not too short. They are similar to the last model as stated, but with a few small differences. I do find them slightly firmer when hitting the ground, and a need to break them in (although they shouldn’t be like this) but they did already feel better by the second run. I was debating repurchasing the old model vs these, but I don’t regret getting the 22’s. These are my everyday shoe and have maintained that same stability and comfort for me. FYI, I am female who purchases the mens model for colors, but I find the mens has a wider toe box and still fits my foot just fine.

Overall, the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 22s seem well made, they look great and are fairly comfortable. Better, for me, on walks than runs. The footbed feels very cushy when standing still and when walking, the support is great, but when running, there isn't as much cushion in the front of the footbed as I'd like. It almost feels like the balls of my feet and toes are hanging over the edge of a shoe when I run. I've only run about 12 miles in them. So, maybe with a little more breaking in, my feet will settle into them more, but so far, I'm sort of wishing I had stuck with the Hoka Cliftons. Had I never known the Hoka Cliftons, I'm sure the Brooks Adrenaline GTS would be more than satisfying.

Not as supportive for my probation as the Beast 18 and previous models. The latest, the Beast 20, is not available here or elsewhere in size 14 for some reason, but so far this GTS-22 model is better that several other options I’ve tried. My only concern is if it will hold up. The sole under my pronation area is not as wide as the Beast, which I’ve worn for many years in its several “updates.”

I love the look of these. I am still trying to "break" them in. I feel they are a bit narrow for a medium width. I have always ordered medium width and so far they seem much more narrow than my old Asics. Perhaps it is just they are new and not stretched yet. Overall, I love the look of them but I do feel that shoes are being made less and less quality but continue to cost more. These seem cheaply made and probably will not last as long as my old Asics. I notice at the top of the toes that I can actually see my socks through the webbing/knit area. I suspect that is for ventilation but it appears to be a very fine fabric and will most likely tear. I am debating returning them for the price, not sure they will hold up. I do appreciate Zappo's return policy and they are wonderful to work with in that regard.

I have the Adrenaline 21 and I love this shoe. Really comfortable and supportive. Also the shoe strings on the 22 aren’t as nice as the 21.

my husband has worn Adrenaline for years at home and at work. This new variation has the sides so low, his foot slips out now. He is so disappointed he now has to search for another sneaker. Why would Brooks cut the sides so low? Strange.

Not enough arch support, I like the style of the shoe. I am going to try an arch support shoe insert to see if it will solve the issue

After thoroughly loving my GTS 19 and 20, I was instantly drawn to the GTS 22 - additional pronation support, style and colors. I had not anticipated that the GTS 22 would have a slightly longer cut. Sadly, no longer ideal for my foot. I'm sure others will enjoy -

Worst pair of Brooks Ive ever owned. Restyled backs wore thru and are digging into the back of my foot at the top of the shoe. Very uncomfortable. I doubt I will be buying Brooks again. These are unwearable after 6 months.

Heels slip out

I've been wearing the same size of Brooks Adrenaline GTS for over a decade. For whatever reason, these did not fit. My heels would not stay in place and the laces didn't secure my foot.

This is my second pair of GTS22 shoes and I'd hoping they'd be my new "go to" brand after years of wearing Nike and, more recently, New Balance. But I'm really disappointed with the lining around the heel as it wears out really quickly. After a few months of wearing these shoes 3-4 days per week, the heel lining is tearing on both shoes. If I was seeing even wear across the shoe as a whole (exterior, tread, etc) I might assume they were just wearing out. But the exterior is still in GREAT shape and there is A LOT of life left in the tread. In fact there is very little visible wear on the tread & exterior at all. At first glance you'd think they were nearly new. But the heel lining is wearing out prematurely. This is very disappointing because the shoes are quite comfortable to wear and look nice. But I won't buy another pair of them because of the weak, inferior heel lining.

Long time user of Adrenaline GTS 19. Should have bought more. 22 is horrible. I have flat feet and they changed the arch. Way too high and hurts my feet. Ordered older 21 from Amazon. If same problem I’m in the market for a new shoe. Disappointed.

They did fit. But I sent them back because the laces were too short and the shoe's tongue was also small fort the 91/2 D shoe. And the sides of the shoe going up to the laces were also too short. Looked like they were for a smaller size shoe. I bought 2 pairs of this shoe last year and loved them. I do not know why Brooks made the changes .

Very comfortable shoes with arch support.

They were good shoes.

I still wear these years later they are amazing

After 2 years they still fit and feel great.

Excellent shoe. Great fit. True to size.

I am a 71-year-old former marathoner and I have moderate neuropathy in my feet. These shoes really feel great as I continue to keep moving (walking and very light running).

great fit and comfortable

Love Brooks shoes and these didn’t disappoint.

These work great. I love Brooks they never fall apart and I have to remind myself to buy a new pair for running every
