The shoes are comfortable as usual, but the shoe strings are way too short! Please go back to the proper length shoestrings. I sm a customer who probably owns 25 pairs of your shoes because of some medical issues I have. I believe I and all customers deserve the correct length shoestrings!

Fit is great and the arches are high for me. Wish the insoles would last longer I always need to change insoles once a month

Love the shoe. I'm a Brooks Adrenaline loyalist. With that said, I am supremely disappointed in the extremely short laces on the 22s! Very hard to tie and laces have come untied during every run I've worn these for. I always like to double knot my running shoes and these laces barely let you tie at all. Brooks--please go back to longer laces for future models!

I have a very narrow foot, so was thrilled to find AA width in stock. The toe box runs narrower than my Addiction's. They rubbed a little, but the more I wear them, the better they feel. The new short shoe strings are terrible. Won't stay tied. These shoes are to expensive to have to go out and buy new shoe strings. Overall I like the shoes. Sure wish you would make AA's in more styles.

Wish these were still available in wide! Laces are short, don't stay tied. Overall, almost as comfortable as previously purchased Adrenaline GTS 22 in wide width. I am on my feet all day and moving constantly, so fit and comfort is of utmost importance.

I have worn an adrenaline shoe for a few years. My last 22s were way overdue for replacing. I ordered one of the new colors and they arrived quickly. Still super comfy and loved them, and was complimented on the color I chose. Unfortunately the tread started coming off in a couple of places on the left shoe after wearing them less than a week. I contacted customer service and they replied quickly and were top notch. They were kind and quick to provide a solution. Couldn't be more pleased with my choice.

This is my 3rd pair of adrenaline gts. Because of my multiple foot surgeries this particular shoe is the only one that provided ultimate support through my recovery to present day. I'm in my 30s and still active. So comfort is a must! However, I gave the 22 a 4 star because there has been some change. The insole seems different. Less cushion and slightly less arch support. I've never felt the need to break my Brooks in until this one. And fortunately, the insoles from my previous adrenaline is in good shape so I just switched them out. I'm disappointed with this aspect. Also, the shoe strings are shorter than usual. You definitely will not be able to use the heel lock for runners unless you have extremely narrow feet and tie them tightly. Nonetheless, they are now more comfortable with a different insole, the bright purple colors are grabbing tons of compliments. I will continue to seek brooks out in the future.

I have foot problems and the Brooks Adrenaline is about the only shoe I can wear. Thank you for giving the 90 day return policy. I was going to return them but they are broken in now after a month so I will keep them!!

I have worn the Adrenaline GTS for years, I love them except they have made the tongue very small, that when larger, helped pad the prominent bones on my skinny foot, The shoe laces are too short to be able to use the heel lock loops

Love the white/gray color way. Laces are way shorter than the previous adrenaline 22's I purchased. I can barely tie using a heel lock.. please add 20-30mm at least!!

I love these and get compliments all the time. My custom orthotics fit inside well. My only complaint is the width at the ball of the foot. I used these for playing pickleball and actually stepped on my own foot, which is not a good thing. I usually only wear these for every day walking as they don't provide enough lateral support for court wear.

I walk, don't run. These aren't as soft as I would like, got them hoping for more support because my knee had been hurting. I have to get wide, so not as many colors available.

My recent 2023 purchase of the Adrenaline GTS 22 did not fully meet my previous ecstatic first try on expectations. I love the new color and pattern and overall shoe design, but this new model lacked in heel coverage and my usual size 7.5 Brooke's running shoe size was a little too short in the toe area. I've purchased Brooke's for over 20 years and this was the first time that my toe rubbed or touched the tip of the toe box area and that I felt the heel coverage was not substantial enough and seemed a tad too low. When I step forward, it almost feels like my heel will slide out. I will keep the shoes for shorter, lighter runs, but I'm disappointed because this shoe was my Go-To-Marathon running shoe. I've always promoted this shoe as the Cadillac of running shoes: great cushioning, style, design, support, and distance run-ability. I'm giving this shoe review a 4 out of 5 in hopes the design team will reconsider this year's design for last year's.

Shoe has good support for a senior with very poor balance and nerve damaged legs. The inner sole seems to have conformed to my foot and lessened the strength of the support. This shoe comes close to replacing the cross-trainers that I was able to get in the past.

The soles are not very cushioned. Prolong use made the bottoms of my feet feel chaffed.

I love the adrenaline I never have to break them in, they fit like a glove. The shoe needs more cushion without adding a big fat, chunky bottom. I remember they were softer years ago. They need to come in more neutral colors. Something that I could wear daily. Maybe some pastels. Not many different Pastels on in the same shoe. Maybe a soft pastel with a highlight of a similar color. I use no other sneakers. Brooks are the best.

I love the support and good fit, I'm just concerned about what seems like a change to cheaper materials. I think it might be related to making all the unusual color combinations - I'm not sure. The logo looks like it's a sticker! They just look kinda "chintzy" and I find that really unusual for Brooks shoes. It took me 3 different color combinations to find one that was less "tacky". Sorry but that was just the impression I got.

I really like my Brooks shoes, they are always comfortable on my old feet (I'm 78). I walk 3 miles on a paved trail 5 times a week. I do need a narrow shoe, so I'm grateful to have a source. You can't believe how difficult it is to find narrow shoes! However I am disappointed in my color choices. I would love to have some of the fun colors I see in the other Brooks Adrenaline sizes.
Also, I am very disappointed in the shoelaces in my recent pair. They are rather short! I can barely tie them. And they seem to be no more special than the shoelaces you buy at the drug store! They will surely wear out quickly.

Fit was great out of the box. I wear an orthotic and it fit under removable insert, no problem. I am writing this review 7 month after purchasing. Soles have worn a lot. I walk about 20 miles per week and wear these shoes to run errands. The sole is pulling from the sides of the sole. I feel it occationally. Time of new shoes.....yes. I do love the comfort though. Will buy again.

Great shoe that fit well and was comfortable however the sole does not provide as much cushion as the Glycerin line does. Very comfortable shoe but if you require as much cushion as you can get, there are better options with Brooks.

They look really nice I get a ton of compliments and they've held up pretty well - I've had for 7 months now.
But I prefer the GTS 21 these for some reason hurt my feet. May have to try a different running shoe soon

I purchased these for work (I'm a nurse). The shoe is very comfortable. The color was not as expected. They are almost white which I was not crazy about, but I needed them and couldn't wait while I tried to get a better color so I just settled for what I got. I always love the comfort of the adrenaline shoes.

Love the adrenaline line....however the laces have changed and the last couple ones I've gotten will NOT stay tied! Even in a double tie, the double tie comes undone. Please go back to the grippier kind.
