The new foam in the midsole of the Adrenaline 22 and Ghosts 15 don't provide adequate support and end up hurting my feet after a mile of running. Please bring back the original midsole that we're in the Adrenaline 22 and Ghost 14.

Very narrow and snug shoe. Not for orthotics. Not for anyone with RA or joints that swell. Not for plantar fasciitis. The Brooks shoe survey is not accurate. If your have severe plantar fasciitus, RA and orthotics. And wear the Brooks Addiction. There is no way that the adrenaline is going to fit or meet your needs. It is a totally different shaped shoe.

They make my feet hurt. I would like to return them. Because I cannot wear them my feet hurt so badly. I like my ghost.

I love how they look but the I've only worn them 2x and the bottoms of my feet hurt. Not much cushion. I'd like to return them.

I will never buy this uncomfortable shoe again. My feet are sore after using it, and my ankles hurt too. Possibly inappropriate for my needs, despite my carefully reading the descriptions of this and other Brooks offerings.

sent them back. I don't like the new guard rails. They hurt my feet. I've had a couple pairs of adrenaline 21 and loved them. So now I switched to divide to and they seem to be better

These shoes still hurt my feet, maybe I should have got a wide shoe but they didn't have one in this color.

I've worn brooks for years. I got these as a gift for Xmas. The quality is not the same. The hurt my feet. The toe box is so narrow. The laces are so short too. Looks like I will no longer be buying Brooks as the pair before this I had the same issues.

For 2 decades I have worn these shoes and now I have pain from brand new shoes! This has never happened before! The quality is not even okay! Toe box tight, heel cushion lacking now, and the laces??? Too much give need constant tightening! This shoe is no longer acceptable! Go back to quality control.

Let me start by saying I love brooks adrenaline gts. Over the years I have own several pairs. I am a er nurse and on my feet 12 hours/day. With that being said I put a lot of expectations on the quality of my shoes. Not only did I purchase one pair I went ahead a purchased two pairs this time. Well I ordered the new color for this year and I am sadly disappointed. I have been wearing them since March -April when I received them. From day 1 horrible. At the end of my shift my back,legs and feet hurt so bad . I chalked it up to just being new and need to break them in . Well it is now May and things have not gotten any better . I am very unhappy with this purchase and I can't return them for having worn them trying to make them work. I would not recommend these shoes to anyone. The toe box feels tighter, I dnt feel like they have any support in the insole nor have any cushion. The balls of my feet have never ached and bothered me prior to this pair. With all that being said the gts that I purchased last year that are still available (I just wanted a different color this time ) were great I had no problems with them and for that reason I ordered these in a different color not expecting to have any issues. I would love to speak more on this issue if someone from Brooks would reach to me. Hopefully my review will encourage other buyer to do more research prior to purchase.

Let me begin by saying I've been wearing Adrenaline 21' for a couple of years love them so I thought the 22 would also be great. NO!!! Horrible experience, makes my left foot go numb and half my right foot. My knees and hips also ache. I can't wear them more than 30 minutes. Will not be buying this shoe again. So disappointed. Fix this problem Brooks..

I purchased this shoe online, which I realize now was a mistake. The arch supports in these shoes does not line up with the arches of my feet. They are uncomfortable and actually kind of painful. But I spent kind of a lot of money on them and I've already worn them, so I am afraid I cannot return them. I keep thinking that they will conform to my feet, but I could be in a fool's paradise. IDK. I blame myself for buying them online without trying them on first. The arches may line up with other people's arches. They're super cute though!!! LOL.

I received a pair that had one shoe that was longer than the other. Same size on both shoes. This was the second pair that I have had this issue with.

Have worn the Adrenaline for literally years. The 22 has a small toe box and cushion in the ball is NOT the same. My feet are numb and hurt after wearing more than a couple of hours. I bought last July and keep trying to make them magically work. They are farrrrrrr from worn. Will be looking for a new brand. Highly disappointed.

I stupidly bought these and threw the box away before trying them as I assumed they'd be great given the thousands of positive reviews. Unfortunately, they made the bottom of my feet go numb and start cramping and then the tongue of the left sneaker kept digging into my ankle. I can wear them for walking around but no running. Lesson learned!

I have been a long term Brooks Adrenaline user after they were recommended by my sports med doc for plantar fasciitis. I also have unstable needs and these were my go to shoes for daily wear. I am not a runner, but a health care worker who walks miles daily at work. The new GTS22 is narrower in the toe box and has crazy short laces that do not allow me to loosen the shoe if my foot swells at the end of the day. I am going to look at other brands for the first time in 8 years. I bought exactly the same size and I cannot wear the same socks in these without feeling the pinch. These are not the same. I am hopeful there will be a GTS23 that improves on this big fail.

I've had the the Adrenaline GTS for several editions. This edition is horrible. Very cheaply made. The shoe laces are very short and can't be double-knotted. Everything that made the previous editions great is gone now. I ended up returning the shoe, asking to be removed from the emails but ultimately went with the new balance 860 and love it. skip this cheaply made edition. the brooks store people also said they are constantly getting returns for this shoe, probably related to covid backlog and cranking out super cheap shoes.

I buy GTS 22 shoes all the time...usually size 12. This time the Size 12 was smaller. The size marker under the tongue shows size 12 but then the other shoe sizes for other countries was different. I don't have the box anymore so can someone contact me to help with my return and replacement with correct size 12 shoes. Thanks

Very disappointing. After trying out the Adrenaline 22 GTS and loving it, the Adrenaline 23 GTS is such a disappointment. The fit of the GTS 23 is tighter across the width of the foot, the toe box is smaller and the laces are too short.

Had to return these shoes. I am a female (age 76 years) but your women's shoes are not wide enough for my feet so have to order men's shoes size 9 extra wide. There is not much variety in colors for extra wide feet so I also have to order gray which gets a little boring, but shoes are comfortable. I do have an unusual issue because my right foot is always slightly swollen, but the left foot is fine.

If the shoe is made in Taiwan they are not sized correctly. When they are sized in Vietnam they fit me correctly. I have returned two pairs of the one pictured. Go back to the old laces the new ones keep coming untied. Others may find them OK for their use This will not deter me from continuing to purchase Adrenaline or Brooks shoes. Shoes should be a little rounder in the toe area also

I've worn Brooks Adrenaline GTS for years- always loved them. The adrenaline GTS 22 has changed- the toe box feels smaller & tight & rubs on my upper foot. My foot actually hurts after wearing these shoes. The shoe laces are too short & you can barely tie them. So disappointed-have to find a new brand after all these years.

I bought these shoes because they were suppose to be good on my feet. I'm on my feet all day walking around for work. My feet hurt more now than before I bought these shoes. I can't believe I spent the money I did on these and now I have to buy a different kind of shoes. Do not recommend
