Customer Reviews Brooks Adrenaline GTS 22

Typically wear the Beast. Am not as comfortable with the Adrenaline. Not as much support in the ball of the foot area. The Adrenaline is very light weight but not as supportive as the Beast.

The buying experience went well. I received the shoes quickly, and the shoes didn't contain any flaws. I have purchased several named Brooks shoes over the years, but I think this is the first time I tried the Adrenaline GTS 22. The description states they are soft cushion and good for walking, but I am experiencing foot pain, and they don't feel very soft cushion. The shoe I am replacing, the Ghost 14, feels like a much better cushion.

The shoe has no arch support like a Hoka shoe, but when I take out the inner cushion and install my orthotics and its a good work shoe as I'm on my feet working 9 hours a day. I've been wearing this brand for 5 yrs now.

I have owned 22 previous pairs of adrenalines. The sides on both of the last two pairs have split out on the bottom where the sides meet the bottoms. If this pair does it this will be my last pair of adrenalines. The quality that was in the first generation adrenalines just isn't in the latest ones!

Good shoe, however the color is not what I like. Wish they would make black on black heel. 3 stars because I didn't have any choices of color.

I've been running in Adrenalines exclusively for 30 years--not exaggerating! Great shoes. Still pretty great, but for me the advent of the "Guiderails" marked the beginning of some unfortunate changes. I do think they're lighter, but they're a little less stable and far, far less durable. The uppers tore on my last pair after about six months. Toes. But this new pair, after three months of moderate (3 times a week, 2-3 miles a run) the inside is coming apart in a way I've never seen. (See photo.) I may start looking at other shoes.

The GTS 22 is not as comfortable as the Ghost 13s I replaced. After trying on several different color GTS 22s, the size wasn't consistent from shoe to shoe (QC issues?). Otherwise, I find it an acceptable running shoe for my purposes. I run 20-25 miles a week

I Love these shoes. Great for and feel. I knocked two stars off because they have spots from something on the top after wearing them twice! Other than that, the perfect shoe!

You need to go back to the thicker shoe lace. These thin waxy laces are difficult to tie, become untied easily, and feel cheap. It ruins the shoe.

The shoe syle with the upper that has the longitudinal vent holes in the forefoot clearly are made differently than the style with the mesh looking forefoot, ie the grey vs the white and black. The mesh style was looser on my foot and had a good extra 2 mm of space between the back of my heel and the shoe. Can't Brooks just make one shoe all the same way save colors, and call the other shoe a different name?

I have for years used an orthotic insert in place of the cushion insert that comes with all running shoes. Incredibly, my latest adrenaline has laces too short to be easily tied. I wear medium width shoes, have no weight problem or foot deformity and use the orthotic for back, not foot issues. So, I remove the laces from one of my old pairs of Beasts and substitute those for the Adrenaline minis. Really, does Brooks' bottom line require this sort of cost cutting?

Nice looking shoe well-made, but running a little small I wish I would've sent them back for the next larger size before I wore them

this shoe run larger than previous size 15, to wide at toe , comfort level good

Shoe laces are way too short; can't tie. Never had this problem with 3 pairs of 21's. Not a good way to reduce product manufacturing costs. Reported issue to Brooks weeks ago. Can't provide a fair review since I haven't been able to test the new shoes. Still no results from Brooks.

After developing plantar fasciitis several years ago, I switched from a different brand of sneaker to the Adrenaline. I still have a pair of the GTS 20 model that I use for running errands, and I really miss that version. The cushioning feels so much better in the GTS 20 model versus the 21 and 22. I actually started jogging again when I first got the GTS 20 because all of my back, knee, and foot pain disappeared. The quality seemed to decline with the GTS 21, and as stated in other reviews regarding the GTS 22, the laces are too short, the shoe runs narrow at the toe, and the break in period is long and painful. The quality of the GTS 22 appears to have declined even more. They are fine for walking, but I do not think I will be able to run in these sneakers. I am not sure these are worth the price, especially if they will need to be replaced every few months.

Only running shoes I wear. I have 2 pair exactly the same and they fit fine. The new ones I bought exactly like the other 2 same size colorand the new ones are too tight.

I'm been team Brooks for years. Never have any of my other Brooks running shoes given me Achilles blisters. Not sure if they changed dimensions or what. Hoping as they continue to break in, they'll give. I hope. With each run I'm cursing at the end. I've changed my lace up, slather with squirrel nut butter, but no. I'm using Rexall bandages now to get me through.

I have 2 pair of the 22 models. The top end of the tongue on both pair rub blisters on the top of my foot by the ankle. I've worn these models for years and this is a first. Other than that these are great as usual.

I've been wearing this shoe 5-10 years. I wear a 2E width. This version narrowed the toe book by 3/4 an inch when I hold it up to my last purchased pair. I sent back the first pair I was sent this print becuae I thought maybe I had misordered the size. This was not the case. Both are the same Euro size and width but with significantly narrower width/toe box. This will mean I will change brands.

Not as comfortable as my previous Brooks. The top counter lining is not as soft. I always replace the insert with a higher quality kind. This is maybe my tenth Brooks. Will probably try them again in the future

I've been a long time adrenaline fan, and the 22 seems to fall apart quickly. As a physical therapist myself that encourages patients to wear Brooks adrenaline when overpronating, glute weakness, or for support during the workday, I am disappointed in the way these shoes held together.
