I like the shoe very muchbut it has significant reduced grip on damp/wet surfaces, both indoors and outdoors

Great running shoe- fits just like my Adrenaline 21's. I did buy my own shoe laces, because, as other reviewers have mentioned, the shoelaces are slightly too short for the shoe (to tie in a single bow without coming undone-see pic). Also, they are flat shoelaces (which I don't expect at this point with nice running shoes). I bought replacement oval shoelaces that are 54 inches long, and that fit the size 9D shoe much better. I think at least in wide sizes, you need to use longer lengths of shoelaces. And I strongly prefer the oval shoelace style and functionality. Otherwise, it's a amazing shoe.
By the way, current reviews on this site suggest the adrenaline 23 uses the same laces (that are flat).

I like the Adrenaline GTS 22, but the way they are made digs into my ankles making them very sore. Also, I thought these shoes were the best for joint pain. They don't seem to help my knee. I always buy Brooks because they are the best.

It's light. The cushioned soles have relieved my foot pain and most of my knee pain post exercise. Even used it to walk on a rocky beach & there was no pain either.

Great quality, looks terrific and feels good. My feet ache all the time and I can wear these for several hours before my feet start to hurt.

I switched to wearing Brooks Adrenaline's after wearing another brand I loved for many years. This particular brand changed their style, and it caused my feet to get a ranging case of plantar fasciitis. Brooks Adrenaline GTS 21's saved my feet - thank you! I'm an avid walker and honestly the only disappointment of the GTS 21's is the inside heal wearing so quickly....within 2-3 months' time. When you pay good money for sneakers, something like that should not wear so quickly. I recently purchased the GTS 22's, the shoelaces are horrible (and see the new 23's have the same laces too, Brooks didn't listen to their customers!!!!). They are flat, slippery and WAY TOO SHORT!! I use all the eyelets and by the time you do, there is hardly enough lace left to finish tying. Please bring back the old oval, longer laces! (I'll be buying oval, longer ones to replace the horrible flat ones.) I also feel the heal cup is not as deep, there is a definite difference, when I put my GTS 21's and 22's on. The 22's do not surround/hug my heel as nicely. I'll continue to wear the Adrenaline's (and my worn-out ones too!!!) because I think they really are one of the best sneakers I've tried since switching from my last go to brand, but certainly a lot of room for improvement!

I order a size 9 in my running shoe because it is 1/2 size bigger than my typical size. This shoe feels like my typical size. It is still a good running shoe and so far my feet have not suffered the size difference. It is better than my toes having to much movement for sure.

I wanted to love this shoe but the tongue is too short to allow the laces to tie correctly when in the furthest back eyelet. Sad to have to return, Great color

Great shoe with one significant problem. The area inside the shoe that touches the back of the heel wears out before the shoe exposing the foot to a sharp wire or plastic piece.

They've updating the cushioning, but they run really small! I'm a 6 and I'm not sure even the 6.5 will fit. I've worn Brooks Adrenaline for years and this is a first.
The comfort is still stellar, but please get the sizing right.

I love the colors and the style of the shoe. But the most important thing to me is the comfort and the fit. The fit is great. But I need to use an additional insert because the shoe isn't padded enough to keep the ball of my foot from the hard ground. :(

This is a good solid shoe if you need support. It runs very small though. My toe was all the way to the end in an 8.5 this is sizing up a half size of what I traditionally wear. Very snug overall fit. I ended up giving them to my mom and they worked out perfect for her.

Size is "doable" but I should have sized up by 1/2 as suggested. Well-made shoe in a great color.

At first I thought I would return these. The arch was uncomfortably high and bothersome right out of the box. I switched out the inserts with my generic orthotics and they felt very comfortable. I don't think these are good running shoes but I bought them for walking long distances. They are very supportive but much too clunky to run in.

I had a little trouble getting used to the heal shape as it applied a little too much pressure and hurt for a few weeks. I broke it in though and now I absolutely love them!!!

I like the sneakers but the top of the tongue is cutting into my skin. Might need to add more padding in this area. Thanks

Love the shoe... I have been wearing them for years. Only 4 stars because the 22's seem to tear over time on the back heal.

I'm generally loyal to the Brooks Glycerine for walking but found the 22 to be loftier than I expected. When I saw someone talking about model 25, I found the Adrenaline online and decided to try it blind. I liked the neutral gray that was available and thought it would be a good shoe for work. I haven't even put in separate insoles yet and I find this is great for an everyday shoe. I haven't used it for sports yet, but for walking around, it's a slimmer fit without so much cushioning and very comfortable. And it matches my clothes well.
