Customer Reviews Brooks Adrenaline GTS 22

I am a nurse and got them to wear at the hospital. They rubbed my Achilles so raw I bled. I cannot wear them.

I have my shoes for just about 3 months now, and the fabric around the ankles already starts tearing. I do love the comfort and stability the shoes provide but I am really disappointed how fast they break :(

I've worn the Adrenaline for years and wish you'd stop going back and forth on the fit! This current model (like the 20, I think?) went back to a more narrow toe box, which doesn't fit as well. Really hoping the 23 will have good support and that wider toe box that I have loved in this shoe!

Something to a different with these. 9th pair of brooks adrenaline and this have made my heels bleed and given me a blister on small toe - which has never happened before. Was thinking maybe just a dud pair but other reviews are consistent.

The toe was a little too narrow for me and the inside glue detached after only about 20 miles. Customer Service was great and quickly refunded me for the defective shoe.

I loved the way these shoes felt supportive and cushioned at the same time. However, the tread on the bottom started pealing off within 6 months which is super disappointing for the price. I did not use these shoes nearly as much as I could have before they started falling apart.

I purchased these on the recommendation, Reviews and research I did. The shoe is made well. I find the arch not to match with where my arch is. As not to give up to Soon and many running shoes need time, it's been difficult for me personally so far to adjust. the eventuality break in.

I am a slow older distance runner. I rotate shoes regularly and have been having an issue since the 20s with the tongue of the shoe rubbing my ankle. The shape changed. Don't have issues with the laces or anything else. But given the choice I will use the 20s on longer runs. I have had to cut and tape several pairs of the newer ones to make them wearable.

Show is comfortable but the toe box is a tad to small

Extremely nice looking shoe but not as supportive as needed for my high arch and being up on my feet all day at work. Healthcare worker

The laces are quite short and the body of the shoe stiffer than previous versions. Despite that, it is still a comfortable shoe with good support.

The eyelets in the shoes are in an awkward place at the top of the foot. Also, the shoestrings will not stay tied! I have to be like a child and double tie them. Wish I could buy new shoestrings for them. Some that do not have the ridges on them. (Both of my pair do this) I have them in gray with purple shoestrings, and white/gray with White shoestrings. So frustrating. However, I love my Adrenaline GTS 19.

The shoe laces are too short, there's not enough lace to get through the ankle support holes or even to double knot. Arch support seems a little off location compared to my old pair

I like These shoes a lot but a piece of them fell off out of nowhere. I've had these for less than a month and I don't think the piece is supposed to come off. If it was still there this would be 5 stars!

I like the space in the toe band but they gap at the ankle and overall don't fit as well as the Ghost.

I have purchased Brooks previously, most specifically the Adrenalines and have liked them. I am a nurse on my feet for 14 hours a shift, they have always been comfortable and supportive for my long shifts of running. So I didn't think twice about purchasing the most recent upgrade, I am sadly disappointed. This pair does NOT fit the same. The fit is much tighter. The outer arch is narrow, and the arch support is less than stellar. I have given this pair a fair shot, and they just aren't comparable. So disappointed.

I loved the 21s and thought I found my forever running shoe. So when they were almost worn out I purchased the 22 without hesitation. The 22 is so different it can barely be considered the same style. The ball area has been narrowed so much it's the same width as the arch which caused huge blisters. The outer guide rails have been intensified to the point where it feels like my foot is slipping off the inside of the shoe. I already have shin splints just from switching out of my worn out running shoes into these.

I was actually looking for the Adrenaline GTS 21 and couldn't find it. The Adrenaline GTS 22 is not a bad shoe I do prefer the GTS 21.

The shoes themselves are great. The size 8 wide, however, shipped with laces so short and flat/slippery that it was difficult to tie them. They came undone at least once or twice on every run, and there was no way to double-knot. This was not an issue on my previous shoes, size 8 wide ghosts from a previous year. Those laces were plenty long to double-knot. I contacted Brooks and they sent me some much longer laces free of charge. The burgundy looks pretty fun as well with the black and pink. But I wish it had shipped with the right laces.

Brooks Running, you've broken my heart a little. I have purchased at least the last 4 Adrenalines Brooks has sold, along with many other styles they've offered. I found my favorites to work a 12 hour shift in or exercise in are the Adrenalines. So I forwent the Ghosts this time, since I didn't like the last feature changes when the new addition came out, and just ordered one new pair this year. Well now the Adrenaline has followed suit. I am NOT a fan! And it saddens me. And others I've asked have tended to agree. I have never even had to "break in" my new Adrenalines before because they were always so perfect. I have worn them 6 times, and I am finally admitting defeat to the 22 version. I'm not sure what is it, but the outter, arch-meets-heel area of my feet can't take the pressure (literally and figuratively). Plus the shoe strings are too short; I mean why?? I am now looking outside the brand instead of at a different version because this is the 2nd time. And I did NOT make this decision lightly. I have encouraged and persuaded MANY fellow RNs to try out Brooks. I hope they have better luck in the future.
