I have previously purchased several pairs of the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 22. The collars of this pair ordered in November 2023 were stiffer due to what felt like a metal wire all around inside the top of the collar. The collar pushed into my ankle and rubbed against it, which the previous pairs did not. The previous pairs had a sturdy and supportive collar, but they did not hurt, nor did they have this extra "part" inside the collar. I returned this pair because I felt the wire inside the collar may never break in and would always be irritating and cause pain.

This was/is my first Brooks shoe. The size fits perfect. But my feet ache. This style is only medium cushioning, which I thought would be sufficient. I probably need to go for a shoe with thicker cushion.

Because of my severe over pronation the Adrenalin GTS are my go to running shoes, but my newest pair don't feel as good as previous versions. They don't have the cushion I'm used to and I can feel it throughout my body when I run and even post run. I'll give them a few more runs to see if anything changes, but I'm a little sad because previously this shoe had been so consistent and reliable. Might have to look for a different support shoe in the future.

I normally wear Launch GTS (size 9W), but grabbed a pair of these based on the reviews and a good sale price. While supportive and comfortable, I found them rather heavy and clunky on the treadmill, and much prefer the Launch GTS.

I have been wearing Adrenaline GTS for years This is the 6th pair I have owned, I noticed some differences this time.
While the Adrenaline's are still better than other brands I have noticed the quality has slipped. Notably in the materials. Also the support just doesn't measure up the same either.
The shoelaces are an annoying example. Between the material they now use and how much shorter the laces are these untie by themselves often and its a pain.
It's not my imagination. I compared the lace length with my most recent pairs and definitely shorter.
I don't expect these will wear as long either.

It is hard to think that I would give a Brooks shoe less than a 5. While this is a great shoe the size is way off. This should not happen from a company as good as Brooks.

I’ve worn Brooks for at least 20 years. But these just weren’t comfortable and they felt so big and clunky. I’ve got them in the donate box. Wish I would have returned them and got a different pair.

My foot would needs more arch support. I wrestle with paying 100 or 150 for a pair of shoes and then happen to spend another 50 for an insole i'll keep these but I'll keep looking

The shoe feels great and looks great, however, I use them for aerobics and the sole keeps coming off. Little bits here and there. That's disappointing because everything else is great.

I'm a huge adrenaline fan I have multiple pair of 22's . I bought Adrenaline 23 and sent them back not same fit. I bought more 22's and yup they are perfect! Not sure what changed or why but I will horde my 22's.

Surprised at how much I don't love these shoes. They are nowhere near as comfortable as the GTS 22 version. My feet hurt terribly after wearing them for long walks or playing pickle ball. I am hoping I still need to break them in a bit, but I've had them for about a month now.
Also, the color selection is much worse than the GTS 22.

These were a full size larger than what I would normally purchase in a running shoe. The toe bed felt very wide and my feet were moving a lot. The shoes have no arch support and felt very flat and stiff. I went for a jog and it was really uncomfortable. I normally do not have so many issues with a running shoe but I had several with this pair. I Would not recommend for someone that is looking for more support.

This is generally a comfortable shoe. The toe area is very comfortable. However the area from the laces toward the heel does not feel like it conforms to my foot. It feels slightly large. I have worn Adrenaline shoes since 2011. Some shoes I use for exercise and some for dress-up. The Adrenaline models I particularly like very much are GTS 18, and 19, 20 (I have 2 pair). These shoes felt like a glove on my feet-very supportive and comfortable. The laces easily stay tied and were adequately long to fill all wholes.

It is much narrower than the previous adrenaline. I even got wide and it was still too narrow. Caused my ankles to swell when I flew and I have never had that happen before. I had to stop wearing and go back to my old one.

I love Brooks for my cardio dance classes, Jazzercise. Actually most of us all wear Brooks. They offer the best support. I've owned a lot of them. I tried these Adrenaline's they are comfortable BUT I've worn them 5x to class and at the end of class around where I'm standing is pieces of the sole of my shoes!? I'm not sure if they aren't holding up well and they are still brand new???

Love the color but less supportive than my prior Glycerins. Feels flat and my feet pronate in these immediately. I haven't had that issue with any prior Brooks purchases. They are holding sturdy a couple months in, which is at least consistent with the durability I expect from Brooks.

For some reason after two miles of walking my feet are extremely painful and my ankles hurt. The only thing I changed was getting these shoes.

Broke down a lot with 4 day use at work, some of the bottom plating came off and consistently gave me blisters on my Achilles and broke down a lot there, down to the foam.

Doesn't support my feet enough. My feet hurt after running On treadmill , can't even go past 45 min. I usually run at least an hour on Brook Ghost.

This running shoe has more than sufficient support. The fabric is a bit stiff for my liking. Also the footbed isn't deep enough, as my foot slipped from the back. I tried every lace tie variation known to secure my foot but nothing worked. Ultimately, I had to return them. I've been wearing Brooks running shoes for over a decade and this was the first pair I ever had to return.

I ordered the same size I always get Brooks Ghost.... 1/2 size up from usual shoe size. The 8M in pink. I liked the style and color a lot. The toe box is too tight for me. I read the reviews that said this was an issue... but it's my first time trying the Adrenaline so I had to try it for myself. I have narrow feet, but bunions and so I don't like a very tight shoe. I think the sizing is ok, just for me it was too tight. The Ghost is usually comfortable out of the box, so I didn't feel I wanted to keep the Adrenaline and see if the shoe will stretch. I will try the Glycerine next. Thankfully Zappos makes it very easy to return and exchange.

Not comfortable and supportive . Definitely not impressed. I bought these to replace my Glycerin 12's and now I regret it.
