I'm not sure why, but this new pair of sneakers within 4 hours of wearing caused me terrible right heel pain. I had been wearing the same model adrenaline, but needed another pair for work as they were getting worn out. I tried another day to wear these and the same heel pain/ plantar fasciitis flair up to my right foot so I returned them. Disappointed!

I have been wearing Brooks for several years. My new pair has the back of the sole separating already - right shoe only. I don't put on heavy, long distance miles. Can I get a replacement pair?

I've been wearing Brooks Adrenaline since 2014 and it seems as though the design/fit is different every year. I usually wear a size 10 Brooks Adrenaline and had to ship back and order a 10.5. Shoe does not fit as well as the Adrenaline GTS 21. Toe area is too big and my left foot feels like it is leaning outward. I will keep, but will use for yard work, etc. Disappointed in shoe.

I’ve had my Brooks adrenaline shoes for about two months. At first, they seemed like they’d be really good for my flat feet. They appeared to have some arch support but not too much. Now, it feels like the shoes have collapsed, with little-to-no support. My feet are both in tremendous pain by the end of the day. I am extremely disappointed and frustrated. I can barely hobble along in these shoes. I have to find something else now. I will say that I bought these at a local shoe store, but I wish I’d read more reviews on Zappo’s first.

I gave it a two because I really liked the color. I didn't like these shoes. Not enough support, not sturdy, and felt very weak. I do gym/cross training and these shoes were uncomfortable it made my feet and ankles hurt.

I wanted to give this shoe 5 stars, but I had them since January 2023 and a small hole has started where the heel is located. I'm very disappointed because I loved this shoes.

The heel kept slipping off my foot. Do not buy these if you have a narrow heel. I had to return them. The width was comfortable.

Uncomfortable, fit is very tight. The tongue and back of heal rubs. Disappointed in my purchase and following the recommendations.

While the sneaker fits fine, there is a problem with tying it. Not enough coverage on the top so it doesn't close well. The shoelaces are too short to tie over my foot. I have not seen this problem with my other brooks sneakers. They lace up just fine

I really wanted to love these shoes, but the redesign is AWFUL. The collar is higher so instead of a delightful run, I got a blister on my Achilles after a mile. Please go back to the old design! These used to be the perfect shoe.

Not so happy with the fit around front of shoe. I expected a better comfort. Wish I could return them for the price I paid. Color and design are cute.

I was very disappointed in this iteration of the Adrenaline. The changes to the midsole make this shoe feel so stiff and firm compared to the prior 20's and 21's. I took these out for 2 separate 2 mile runs and by the end of the run, my knees were stiff and actually swelled up a little. I typically run 2-3 miles 3-4 days a week in my Adrenaline 20's with no issues. Now I wear them to work but after being on my feet for 12 hours, my feet ache and the arch doesn't seem to hit me in the right spot even though I was fitted by my local running store. The laces are also slippery and come undone.

I have run in Brooks for years but I have been extremely disappointed in the colors and inventory of the 22s. They have just been terrible

Cute, but my heels felt like they were bruised after one night shift. Couldn't walk the next day. I got some gel heel inserts which helps a lot.

These seem supportive enough, which is why I picked them. However they're surprisingly rigid and stiff, like little light-foam blocks on my feet. It's weird.

The shoe seems narrower through the toes than my previous ones and they pinch my toes. The shoe laces are super short! Still a great fit and support in the heel.

Once again, Brooks ships shoes with laces that are too short to tie, and forget it if you need to do a heel lock. This is the third pair that had come this way. It’s unacceptable to have to go buy laces just to try them on! And the shoes aren’t great. Very hard. I’ve worn this model for years and each year they seem to get a little worse. Time to look for a new shoe. I did like that the black color is really a deep bluish, very nice.

This year the company switched shoelaces to a cheap slippery brand. They do not stay tied and are too short to double tie. What design genius came up with this? How much money did you save with your garbage laces?
DO BETTER BROOKS!!!

I've purchased these exact shoes every year for at least seven years, about 2-3 pairs per year. These are by far the worst, most uncomfortable year. It feels as though there's no cushioning in them; very hard on my arches. I will have to find a new shoe for my flat, pronated feet.

I put too small but I believe it is just a wonky left shoe. I have been wearing Brooks Adrenaline for years. The left foot feels tight accross the toes and feels twist in the left heel cup. I tried them inside with different socks and the left shoe is just not comfortable.

I usually wear size 9 or 9.5 wide shoes (these are a 9). Because of my high instep, I could not get this on without pulling the laces out. I am going to try the 9.5 wide if they are available. The shoes are great, otherwise.

I like how my custom insoles fit in this shoe. Everything was going great until the front rubber piece started to lift off the shoe. The rubber on the bottom has also lifted causing me to trip a lot.

I am very disappointed with this model of Brooks. It is not a good shoe for consistently walking concrete. After 8 hours, my feet were hurting so bad, I could barely walk. I literally could feel the frame of the sole. I wish I would have staying with the Ghost model. :-(
