Had to return them. Have worn Adrenalines for years and loved them. These actually made my feet hurt. Shoe box was too tight and soles were too stiff. Very disappointed.

I've purchased multiple pairs and was impressed by this light weight shoe except for this pair of 22s...Sadly these started breaking down within 5 months. Soles, front row netting, ECT. Enough to steer away from future purchases...

I have bought Brooks Adrenaline shoes for years. I love them so much that I always get more than one color and at least 3 pairs at a time. I use them a lot so I like to switch them out every other day or so. Just bought the newest version and sadly it's one of the most uncomfortable shoes I've ever worn. Completely different than the previous structure. The new version seems to be way too cushioned on the button making for a very thick sole that does not have any give in it. Doesn't allow for foot bend at all. Hoping the 23 version goes back to previous style.

I tried the Adrenaline GTS22 for a 1 mile walk around my neighborhood and the back of my ankle was rubbed raw. It's been over a week and I'm still using moleskin. I didn't have this issue with the Adrenaline GTS21 and I have two pairs of those. I'm afraid to put the new pair back on for fear of additional pain and injury. I intended to put this shoe in rotation of my others and buy another pair to phase the old ones out, but now I'm looking for an alternative.

I've worn Brooks Adrenaline for probably about 15 years. I've loved them until the 21 and 22 models and the 22 seems worse than 21. I bought the 22s and within 3 times of wearing them they had rub/fray marks on the inner ankle area. I contacted Brooks and they sent me a replacement. Cool! Their customer service is pretty good. But when I started using the new replacement shoes the same thing happened and the inside back ankle also started wearing a hole in it way too fast. I should have asked for another reply or my money back at this point but I just needed shoes and didn't want to deal with waiting. I also think both the 21 and 22 models wore out too fast and started hurting my feet way before they should have. Brooks says they should last between 300-500 miles I believe. I think I got maybe 200 miles before my feet started feeling off. Reading the reviews I see many others feel the same way, so I know I'm not the only who can tell the quality difference. I was totally loyal to the Adrenaline model for years but I think I'm going to have to find another brand. I'm not sure I trust Brooks with my hard earned money or to keep my feet feeling good with their brand anymore. Sad.

Needed a new pair and really loved the Adrenaline 20, by these fit smaller and narrower. Sole not as soft on the bottoms of my feet. Old ones felt so Cush! Switching to Glycerin 22 GTS. They fit and feel like the Adrenaline 20’s.

I have been a huge fan of Adrenalines for years but this iteration is the worst yet. My last couple pair have had issues with tears on my inner toe area, but my latest issue is difficult to ignore. I've barely had these 3 months just past the 90 day return window and the backs of these are made out of a very cheap, thin material that has holes in on both shows. I have NEVER had anything like this happen in any of my Brooks shoes or any other brand for that matter. Also, what happened to the best shoelaces out there? The new ones are cheap and too short. They constantly are coming untied if not double knotted. All in all, these are just not the same quality as their predecessors and I'm quite disappointed for the price you pay!

I was so disappointed with the GTS 22's, I have worn Adrenaline's GTS shoes for the last 14 years. I always look forward to the new ones. These, though we're terrible. The new plastic addition to the heal area really hurt my foot and it ended up giving me plantar fasciitis. I ended up returning them and unfortunately bought a different brand. I am so hoping the new 23's are better. I love wearing the Adrenaline GTS's.

Awful. Returned them. Not sure if it is the "recycled materials" or what - but these feel like Brooks is cost cutting. Everything from the laces to the rubber sole felt cheap. Ultimately could not tolerate the red mark that the short, stiff tongue left on the front of my ankle. Stabbed me with every step. The laces are WAY too short, especially if you want to heel lock them. I didn't last two miles in these.

I have worn Adrenalines for over 7 years. These past few styles have been horrible quality. Every pair I have owned has had the back of the shoe rub off quickly. This is not due to the miles put on them. Even as an injured walker, this has happened with the past 3 pairs I have owned. I am loyal to Brooks Adrenalines, but I don't know if I can continue to purchase a shoe that wears down within a month.

Looking at this year's Adenalines. No respect and consideration for people with wide feetREALLY!!! You have one or two token wide-sized pairs out of more than 20 colors; and not one of those very nice special editions colors are available to people with wide feet! Been going through this for several years with Brooks, purchasing one or two pairs a year from the meager wide shoe selection. Weary of asking for more choices. But, it's a big world. I'll stick to other favorite brands. I can still run happy.

Please please go back to the style of the Adrenaline 18,19 or 20! Those 3 models were the best! I didn't have to break them in no blisters nothing! But 22& 21 horrible design and hurt my feet so bad! I've literally been searching the web finding the 20's so I can walk on the treadmill. So for the love of good treadmill shoes please go back to old styles! Please! I'm having a hard time finding another good shoe for treadmill walking :( I misss the old style

Well I should have read the reviews. People said that the fit was smaller than the previous model but I didn’t believe it, because I own two pairs of the previous model. Stupidly I threw the box and everything away before I realized that even with no socks these are too small and even made my toes go numb. I don’t understand why they’d mess with the sizing. Waste of my money.

So unhappy. I love to run and Brooks -Adrenaline GTS were my "go to" sneaker. Typically I put my new pair on and fall in love; this time there was SO much doubt. Returning them after my first and only run. The outersoles aren't the same the heel cushion is different-please fix this!!

My first ever Brooks running shoe purchase which I was so excited for since I am an avid runner and am training for my first ever full marathon.and I can honestly say that I never had foot pain (ever) until running in these. I am an avid runner and have always stuck with NIKE and after this terrible experience I can say I will never purchase another pair and going back to the brand I trust. I am extremely disappointed

I have owned several Brooks Adrenaline over the years. The 22s seem to not be as comfortable. I definitely can't run in them.
