Customer Reviews Brooks Adrenaline GTS 22

Additional complaint: The quality between these and Adrenaline GTS 18 is night and day. The rubber squeaks and feels like it's going to rip right off from walking. The fabric around the ankle feels like cheap quality you'd get in a shirt from Shein. What has happened?? Also these shoes are not comfortable like my previous pairs. These shoes just feel cheap - cheaply made and like they won't last. I've worn Brooks for years, but these do not feel like Brooks shoes at all!! Very disappointed!! Now I've got to find a different shoe brand with the quality that Brooks shoes used to have! Whoever is making these bad quality and manufacturing decisions should be fired because they are ruining the good Brooks reputation.

I ordered the 135 - White/Grey/Black color way. I just received the shoes and there is discoloration around the toe on each. The toe area has bright yellow on it - and it's just supposed to be white. There must be a quality control issue with the glue and the manufacturing process. I'm very disappointed! I've not experienced issues with Brooks in past. Also, the color way is now out of stock- so I can't return these for another pair in the same color way. Is Brooks experiencing quality control issues?? I wish I'd read reviews before ordering these, as I see there are a large number of bad reviews - not for this issue particularly, but it makes me wonder if the fit will be poor, as well (as that's what a lot of the negative reviews seem to be about).

Not sure why these are so different from past models, but every time I wear these, my feet ache badly in the evening. I don't have many options because I have a narrow foot, but I can usually count on Brooks. Not with these though. Maybe they aren't as narrow and my foot is sliding? Lots of pain with this model.

The mesh started to rip after 4 walks. I am 62 and not capable of abusing my footwear.

The shoes are very uncomfortable. I was expecting to use them all day but I can't wear them for longer than an hour.

Not comfortable. Hurt the top of my foot no matter how much I loosen the shoe laces. Missed the return date by a few days. Sigh.

I returned the shoes. Did not appear to have the same quality as previous Adrenaline Brooks I have purchased

I have been running for about 15 years and typically run between 3-7 miles a week. I this is my first time purchasing a pair of Brooks running shoe. Typically I have always worn Asics, but they have changed their material lately, and not for the better, so I decided to give Brooks a try. I have only had this shoes about 3 months and already there is fraying in the fabric around the top near the laces. The shoes run a little small and narrow in the toe area. Recently, when I walk there is a sound coming from the shoe I can only describe as a squeaking. I have checked the insoles and everything I can think of to get it to stop, but nothing has worked. I am already looking for a new shoe and I will not be purchasing Brooks again.

After 15 minutes my heels started to hurt so much, I felt sick. I couldn't wait to take them off. I never had Brooks and I wanted to give them a try but, this is the second pair I return. I bought the Ghost 15 first and they hurt my feet also. I am bummed because they are beautiful but they didn't work out.

I sent them back. I have plantar fasciitis and they made it worse. I'm going to try the new ghost 16 when they come out to c if they feel better

These are the worst Brooks shoes I have ever owned. I returned them. The fit is poor and something is sticking me towards the tops of my arches. Not comfortable at all. Very disappointed. Adrenaline GTS was my first shoe years ago. They have changed for the worse.

i didn't buy them because of the reviews regarding the shoe laces being too sort! i came here just to purchase these shoes! too bad

I loved Brooks Adrenaline GTS starting at 17. The new 20s and up hurt my pinkie to!! I decided to try again and still bad fit.

Had heard such great things and purchased these from a local shoe store the top of the shoe where your ankle hits is already completely coming apart and I have had these less than 4 months. I have a pair of adidas and a pair of ASICS that are both over 4 years old that are holding up better than these. Extremely sad bc I was so excited about these shoes .

I liked the style but the fit was way too snug and I even purchased the wide like I had in the past but they were in a different style. I will keep and try to wear only now and then but they won't be my everyday shoe, Very disappointed, as I was always a Brooks lover but they keep changing styles and doing away with ones that you like

Just got mine and I wore them for my normal 3-4 mile walk. They are my heels up. I have torn skin and bleeding on my heels. Also I ordered the wide and they're not wide enough to be considered wide. Overall I don't like them. I would send them back but I don't think they'll take them now that I worse them outside and went on a walk in them.

DO NOT BUY THIS MODEL (22)! I have worn adrenalines for nearly 15 years and this update is terrible. The shoe literally causes pain, rubs in all the wrong areas, has short laces that untie and are unwearable. I thought they just needed breaking in but no. The longer you wear, the more they hurt. I was barely able to tolerate walking in them let alone run. Brooks, please stay true to your customer base on this classic shoe and make some serious changes back to what was good. I'm worried that this is the end for us :(

I've been using the Brooks Adrenaline for a few years now, and this model is the most disappointing iteration. The shoe is beyond stiff (even after running 50+ miles on it). The bottom of the shoe is extremely firm and it feels like you're running on a metal horseshoe. I cannot run any more than 2 miles without unbearable discomfort from the shoe's sole. Unfortunately, cannot recommended this iteration of the Adrenaline.

For years I have worn Brooks adrenaline. After my first baby, my feet grew 1/2 size so I order a 1/2 size up. I was excited to get them. I purchased the pink and purple limited edition. I first noticed my shoes strings were different than my last shoes and they kept untying. Then I started to get blisters on my heel after wearing them out for a day. Needless to say. I am disappointed and I'm continuing to wear my old brooks even though my toes are at the top and they are falling apart.

I just started wearing these shoes 2 weeks ago and I am finding the foot bed quite narrow- in the instep area and the shoes hurt my feet. I have to wear super thin socks in order to make them work and even then it is not great. My previous Brooks are Ghost 14 and I loved them. I just thought I would try something new but it didn't work out. Also after just 2 weeks of wear- and not every day- the inside of the heel fabric is pilling. That never happened with my Ghost shoes and I wore those for over a year. Perhaps your manufacturer has changed...?
