I walk in these (no running for this elderly lady with a bad back) and they are the most comfortable shoes I've ever had. I am especially appreciative of the narrow width, which is hard to find, and I like the rounder toe style. I ordered my usual size eight. The heel fits great, the ball of my foot hits in the right place, and the width across is perfect! But if I was actually running in these, I would have been happier with a half size longer.

Like everything about the shoe, design, fit and imaginative colors except the laces are by far too short.

While I love this color, the GTS Adrenaline 22's weren't released till 2023 which is far behind the "8 ball". The fit is a bit narrower this edition and the laces have become even thinner and are shorter than they should be. This is not an inexpensive sneaker and I am loyal because it's the best shoe I've found, as a nurse, to wear at work in the hospital. Believe me in 2015 I bought 13 pairs of shoes to find the best for my foot pain and this won hands down! I no longer struggle with pain from plantar fasciitis. I do have to size up. I'm a 6 1/2-7 but in Brooks I have to buy a 7 1/2 wide or an 8 regular (they measure identically btw). They would get a full 5 stars if they would stop getting chintzy with the laces an if they would speed up the releases. Need better & nicer color selections in wide. That said I may have to look for a new favorite it they get any narrower. 14 hours a day on my feet can not handle a constricting shoe.

I liked the looks of these (navy in front, black in back), but my left toe hit the end of the shoe. I wear a 7.5 in most shoes and was surprised by this. My left foot is slightly longer than right, but not significantly. They are very comfortable with a good arch support (I have high arches). I had to return for a size 8, but the arch didn’t hit me the same in 8 and was not as comfortable as the 7.5.

This pair of shoes run slightly larger than all my other Adrenalines. Otherwise I'd likely give it a 5.

I use these shoes for walking and every day wear. I was having an issue with the shoes digging into the sides of my feet near my ankles in both sides and both feet. I think that that part of the shoe is very stiff. I have loosened the laces a bit and also worked the stiff sides and I think it helped. Overall I think the shoes are comfortable. My last Adrenalines were the 18's and I didn't have an issue with them. I still wore them until late last year. I also found that the laces are shorter than other shoes that I have or had. I noticed many mentioned this in other reviews.

Bring back the old shoe laces! Also, not really a true navy shoe. Otherwise, I love the model and brand. Great support, comfort.

Love everything about them except the shoe strings. This is my 4th pair of Brooks (3 Adrenaline and 1 Ghost). I loved the older shoe strings that were longer and stretchy. Go back to those, please!

Bought these for street jogging, and great for playing pickle ball outside courts I only wish they had the same laces as my ghost sneakers .. stretch so I don't need to double knot

Overall ok. Passing could be a bit thicker (I also have a pair of HOKAs big difference). Also laces could be longer. Love the color.

Love everything except the fabric over the the end of the toe box. It wears pretty quickly & you get a hole. Still works but looks raggedy

I have a difficult foot to fit with a very wide spread in the front of my foot and very narrow heel along with fallen arches. This shoe accommodates my orthotics and gives me the ability to tie the laces tighten enough. I do wear them almost daily, and find a need a new pair after 6 months. Brooks offers only one color in my size. I would appreciate having the opportunity to have a choice of at least two colors.

Brooks created an excellent stability shoe when they created the Adrenaline GTS. I love them. In 2019 I bout two pair to rotate in a size 6.0 Extra-Wide. They were colorful-black with purple and other colors. The problem is that after creating those lovelies Brooks has failed to produce another shoe in this size that I would buy. The only ONE they produce in the extra wide for women is blah colored - grey. So, i decided to try the 6 Wide. There is no comparison in the toe box for those of us with extra wide feet. To me, they even looked a little pointy. I had to return. And as always Zappos is the best!!!!! Brooks needs to offer more than one color in this specialty size. I have contacted them, yet, it doesn't cause for concern. You won't be disppointed in this shoe if you can wear the medium or wide. Buy them. I love mine.
I'd also recommend:
Dansko, Birkenstock

I wasn't sure how I would like them. They seemed a but stiff at first. I wore them around the house a few times to make sure I would like them. I notices my feet would feel numb and hurt after wearing them. I went back and read reviews and found that alot of people didn't like how short the shoe laces were. That was my problem, I was tying them too tight to compensate for the short laces! I readjusted the laces and now I am finding them to be more comfortable. The laces are still too short-funny how that wasn't caught in production. You can never have too long of laces, can you? I wore them while playing volleyball and they were comfortable. I did have to cinch them up a bit because my foot was sliding around.

These replaced the same shoe from a few years ago. Love the Adrenalines, love the new shorter flat laces. Don't like the color of the laces

They fit better than the Adrenalines I bought a few years ago. My feet are a narrow-medium width so sometimes a medium will feel sloppy. These have a more snug fit for better control. Also, I prefer the shorter flat laces on these.

I'm happy with the comfort & support of Brooks sneakers so far & with my Brooks purchase overall with one exception: I need to use the very last eyelet on most of my sneakers & the laces provided by Brooks were too short to do that, so I had to invest a little more money to buy longer laces to fit which was disappointing given the higher cost of the sneakers.

The Adrenaline GTS has been my go to stability shoe since 2011 and I have never been disappointed. The only 2 reasons I rated it a 4 is because I feel there is a lack of cushioning on the top sides of the ankle as well as (this may seem petty) the shoe laces seem cheap and continuously come untied. For the amount of money I spent, I should not have to worry (nor have I ever) about replacing the shoelaces immediately. I would also like to note that I am not a runner but need them for stability purposes (I overpronate and help with my shin splints) and wear them daily.

I have worn Adrenaline GTS running shoes for several years now and I really like the design. They are light but very supportive. I am not a big fan of the shoelaces on the GTS 22 though. The shoelaces are flat and the material they are made of is a little slippery. I try to remember to double knot them, otherwise I will almost certainly have to stop and retie my shoes mid-run. Also, this is my second pair of the 22s - the first pair lasted 300+ miles but I had holes worn through the fabric lining at the heel by the end. That hasn't happened with my other pairs of Adrenaline shoes.

I have been wearing Brooks sneakers for well over a decade. I love them and have no complaints until the Adrenaline GTS 22 sneakers. This is my second pair and the first thing I did was remove the shoelaces and replace them with a pair from my GTS 21 sneakers. Not only was the material changed but also the laces were shortened. I got so tired of stopping to retie my shoes, sometimes up to 4 times in the course of a 2.5 - 3 mile walk. Add a dog leash and gloves during the winter- well it was more than frustrating. Do the people that design these ever wear them? The second thing occurring is the material on the inside of the heel wears through and I have developed holes all along the upper ridge of the back and sides of the heel. I checked my GTS 21 pair when I switched the laces and it wasn't like that. Both pairs of the GTS 22's have worn through. I am probably the only one that can see that but it seems to cause my socks to pull down when I walk. Love, love, love the sneaker. Just what my problematic feet needed. But quality when backwards with this version.

I love this shoe!! They make me happy and are more comfortably wide even with a medium width. What I don't like is the fact that we pay over $100 for these shoes and Brooks is skimping on freaking shoe lace length. Come on Brooks, you're better than that!
