Customer Reviews Brooks Adrenaline GTS 22

I have been wearing Adrenaline GTS shoes for years. The past two years, the cushion in the heels has been less than in the past and the overall support has been less. The last pair I ordered had shoe laces that were so short you could hardly tie them. I am disappointed in the changes made.

I liked the look of the shoe and the width was good but the toe box just wasn't deep enough. I couldn't try a half size up because the next size up would have been a 14 which would have been too big. Disappointed these didn't work for me and I had to return them. Did appreciate how easy it was to do a return. It's hard finding shoes when you wear a 13 EEEE.

I get confused I have purchased the shoe in size 8 too big and then in 7 1/2 in black and they fit. order another pair in white and purple in size 7/ 1/2 and they are two small sizes and not consisted.

I previously purchased Adrenaline 21 (no GTS designation - maybe that is a new addition to the name) and love them. I wanted to add another pair to my rotation and thought the Adrenaline GTS 22 would be good. The style is adorable (I purchased the black/ebony/citrus) but the fit is disappointing. As others have pointed out, the toe box is narrower and the laces are very short. Due to the narrow toe box they are not comfortable for running and I will be using them as regular sneakers, which for the price, is unfortunate. I already have three pairs of Ghost that I wear regularly as every day shoes. I also have the Christmas pattern Levitate 6 from 2022 which I will only be wearing in the winter and not for running either as they are too cute (and are white). The packaging from the GTS 22 was thrown away by accident by a family member so I was unable to return. Please bring back the original toe box and laces for the Adrenaline.

I've worn Brooks Adrenaline for many years and prefer the older versions to this new one. First off, why the short laces? Makes it difficult to tie, especially with cold fingers, and impossible to do a double knot for extra security. Secondly, these shoes gave me terrible blisters on my heels the first time I wore them - 3 weeks later and still not completely healed. Makes it difficult to break in new shoes when you can't wear them because they tear up your heels. I've never had that happen with other Brooks. Not sure what is different, but go back to making the old version - they were way better!

Less comfy than GTS21 - front area of shoe not wide enough
