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.

This is just not the right shoe for me. If was not a great fit but was ok. I have very narrow feet and this shoe was a little wide in the toe area.

They are fairly comfortable, but the heel rubs and starts a blister. I have to put a bandaid on to prevent it. I prefer the ghost and launch models, but the orthopedic surgeon told me to get a more stable shoe to help my knee. My knee still hurt as well. I'm not convinced it was the best shoe for me.

I do like the shoe, but because of problems I have with the structure of my big toe, I am not sure yet if this shoe is going to be a great fit for me. I want to order the Ariel and give them a try, just have not decided yet. I hate buying these shoes only to return them.

They are cushioned, but they feel hard to me and I am going to have to buy insoles, which is a shame considering the cost of the shoes. I would not choose them again.

The backs of these shoes are very angled which digs into my achilles and gave me horrible blisters. Even after healing it is super uncomfortable to wear. The rest of the shoe is so comfortable though. I really hoping i will be able to figure out a way to wear these regularly for my walks/jogs.

I use the sneakers for WalkinG. I can't say that I love them. It is a comfortable walk. Why can't they make shoe laces that won't come untied?

This is my 5th pair of these shoes. Honestly I'm not very happy with these ones. They immediately started to pull on the inside heal area. I've also got a hot spot in my pad which I wouldn't expect given these are what I always run in. I'll try them one more time with my next shoe but if still having issues it may be time to move on from Brooks

A little tight in the toe area, and not comfortable to stand in all day long. I much prefer the Launch 9 for comfort, but they wear out fast.

Comfortable shoe for everyday wear. Only issue is that I have osteoarthritis in my left big toe joint and these shoes seem to aggravate it. Can't explain it because they seem cushy enough but pain is worse than in my old Asics.

I purchased the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 22 because someone recommended. I am not a runner, but walk daily and need a shoe that would meet my daily needs and not cause pain to my feet, back and ankles. This shoe looks good in person as it does on line. This is the only reason I gave 3 stars otherwise would have given no stars if CV I could. This shoe lacks cushion, I could not walk one block without experiencing pain to the bottom of my foot, hip and knee pain. That insole that came with the shoes is so flimsy and thin. The strings are so short which makes it difficult to tie, and stay tied. I am very disappointed, because I like Brooks athletic shoes and have always used them as my go to for walking. I used my own inserts and my walking is better. These shoes are not worth he money I paid for them. I am so looking forward to he day when Brooks get back to designing a better and comfortable walking shoe.

The upper toe and back of heal of broken down faster than any other pair I have had before. Also the cushion and support have broken down faster with less miles. This is my +10th pair of Adrenalines over the last 15 years.

These sneakers are beautiful. I tested around for like 10 minutes and my arches started to cramp, they also tend to get very warm. I had to return them.

I really love the support of this shoe (the last few pairs of Brooks I've purchased have been Glycerin) BUT ... I have 2 complaints (comments)
1. the shoe laces are too slippery - they keep coming untied
2. the tong of the shoes are too short because the shoe lace keeps slipping underneath - especially on the right foot -
Both are very annoying.

I've run in the GTS for YEARS and each time I order a new pair, the shoe laces appear to be shorter than the last. With high arches, having the ability to loosen the shoes where I need now leaves me with just enough to tie a very tiny bow. Gone are the days of a double bow to the ensure nothing comes untied. Please bring back longer laces. This is the only reason why I rated like I did.

I was disappointed with the shoe. I have the last version which is a lot more comfortable (more cushion) and true to size. This on runs smaller as well.

Did not like the redesign. Got the extra wide this time (had wide in the 21's) and although I like the toe box, I really dislike the heel. Purchased in April, used lightly for 4 weeks, then moderately for another 4 while I got used to them and figured out how to lace them to improve fit. In mid-late June I started to put roughly 10-18 miles a week on them. August- Sept 16th I was/am putting 16-24 miles a week on them. Walking mostly on concrete, stone dust, dirt, and grass. They now need replacement as I've worn through the tread in the outer toe. Which is a bit annoying, given the price point.
