These were my second pair of Brooks to buy. My first ones were so comfortable and lasted a long time! I'm a PE teacher and need the best shoes. I was so excited that these came in my size (women 13) and had a cute design! They fit great and were extremely comfortable. However, I was so disappointed when part of the sole ripped off after wearing them for less than a week! I got a return address label emailed to me and I'm shipping them back today. I wish Brooks would have offered to replace them or do something to make it right instead of just a refund...

Entire shoe is smaller than previous versions. Small toe box and short in length. Shoe laces barely long enough to tie!
Loved the support but need dependable sizing and fit!

I love these shoes, but unfortunately within 4 months of wearing them, they are already ripping on the sides. I have been wearing Brooks for about 3-4 years now and swear by them, but I am disappointed that these did not last longer, especially considering their price.

I've been wearing the Adrenaline for a couple of years now. It has always had great support while also being comfortable, and it's great to see Brooks offering more design options. However, I've been running in the newest model for a couple of weeks now and they have been causing me knee and shin problems. Not sure what changed with the shoe, but it's not nearly as comfortable and supportive as it used to be. Sadly, I'm going to have find another running shoe.

Not the support and cushion I thought. I use to live the Ghost shoes but something has changed in them. Thought this would be my new favorite but not even close. May have to switch brands to find the support and cushion I once got in the ghost shoe.

I'm a nurse. I'm on my feet for long hours. I have neuropathy in my feet and Adrenaline hurt my feet within 5 minutes of putting them on. I returned them. I ordered ghost 14. They hurt too, but I've not returned them. YET. I usually buy launch. They usually work well. I should've stuck with what I know works.

This was my 3rd pair of Brooks Adrenaline . Have always liked but these were very different and very disappointing. Returning and will look for different brand/style

After I wear them for a time they hurt the bottom of my feet! It’s hard to describe but it feels as though there are little pebbles in the footbed!

My shoe tore like the second time I wore them because of the mesh on top. Now they are torn in 3 places. I just got em a month ago

Very disappointed, it's not the same shoe I have been buying for several years. The size & toe box are narrow, short, flat laces, instead of round, size is shorter than same size I bought in 2022, & not made in Vietnam, like my others ones.

When I took the box out of the mailbox, I actually questioned if there were shoes in the box due to the weight. I must say these are not the same as my last pair of brooks adrenaline GTS 22. I like to actually tie my shoes, and even the shoe strings are shorter than my last pair. On a positive note, the color scheme was very pretty.

Made my feet feel hot all day. The support is more than I need. Would like to exchange for my regular ghosts I bought because I really liked the stylish design & I was curious if more support would be good for me, but it wasn't. My feet felt numb when walking, very strange.

They are supportive for your ankles while running the comfort level is very low. They hurt while wearing them after a few hours.

First, the color online look Lavender but ended up being light blue. Wore them once & to be honest, they are one of the most uncomfortable shoes I've ever worn. I really wanted to return them but life is so busy, I kept forgetting to reach out. I can't wear them. They hurt my feet after wearing them only a short time. So disappointed!

I am in Healthcare and used to rely on this shoe, I have had this pair only a month and the sole is coming off.
This happened to the last pair after having for a short time, but one month!!!!! It's a shame that brooks quality seems to have gone to the average Joe level, I am now going to have to find a better shoe. Also, my feet never hurt in these.....looks like quality has gone way downhill

The left toebox must be rally narrow because I get extreme pain in my left toe area. I do have bunions but am thin so my get really are not wide. I've tried loosing the laces and replacing but it did not help at all. I also always order a half size bigger than my normal size of 8. I get adrenalines to support but this is the first pair that has given me pain rather than relief. I'm in the medical and am on my feel all day.

These used to be the most comfortable shoes. The toe box has narrowed and it is not as comfortable. I went up a size trying to get a better fit but it seems they just run smaller than before. I will be looking for another brand. Very disappointed.

Comfortable, supportive shoe, but material started fraying on the right shoe within the first month. Six months later and it is so bad that the top of the show appears ruffled. I'm not hard on my shoes and this was my first pair of Brooks. This wear was unexpected for an expensive, well regarded shoe.

Brooks really missed the mark with the GTS 22.
Too narrow: I'm usually a Wide in their GTS series but it felt like the Regular- had to go for Extra Wide and that was TOO wide.
Cheap laces: slippery and thin, and cut down too hard.
Guiderails are useless: the "guiderails" are a bunch of nonsense. This is a cheap cop-out to their previous roll bars, and don't stabilize your foot whatsoever. Bring back quality engineering like the PDRB.
Collar padding nonexistent: I get heel bite pretty bad with these, and have never had an issue with any previous GTS.
Cheap outer details: the side logo is already chipping. I still have my old GTS 18's and the detailing is still going strong after several years and wash cycles.
Overall, this shoe screams cheap craftsmanship. Brooks, please bring back quality engineering.

I bought this shoe, and then a second pair in different colors, because the cushioning is what I need as well as the supportive build. However, the cushioning has been declining noticeably after only a month or so of daily casual wear, walking. When I put on the new pair today I noticed how much more cushion I feel.

I've purchased Brooks for years in-store and with Zappos, and these Adrenaline 22 8W are not the same width as the other Adrenaline 21 8W I have currently. I wanted another color to interchange and not wear out and will return as the sizing is incorrect. Furthermore, the new laces are cheaper and so short, they need to be on a child's pair of sneakers.
