Customer Reviews Brooks Adrenaline GTS 23

I am sure this shoe is someone's perfect shoe. Not the shoes design fault just a terrible match for me. I am doing very well with the Brooks beast GTS 23 and Brooks Addiction 15. The Adrenaline GTS 23 was not supportive enough for me.

I was lead to believe they were wide enough for me but the brand doesn't offer 4E. And they were too snug

This is my third pair of Adrenaline GTS shoes. I like the fit and feel. However, on this last pair, the right shoe seems to lean to the right in the heel area. This happened with the last two pair only after months of wear .

I've worn Adrenalines for years and this pair just doesn't fit right? Toe box feels sloppy and the balls of my feet hurt after a run which only started with this pair. I'll put a few more miles on them and see if it gets better. Recently my last few pairs the liner in the heel seems to disintegrate too soon.

I like the looks of the shoes so far today they have held up. Not comfortable for long periods though I find the bottom of my feet hurt wearing them for 8 hours. Feels like it squeezes the mid section of my foot.

I like the color, fit, and feel of the shoes. I do not like the durability. There is already a crack forming in the back, just below my heel.

I like the stability of the shoe for overpronation but sometimes the middle to upper left part of insole cuts into the bottom of my foot.

I have sever arthritis in left ankle-these did not give nearly the support as Addiction 2 walkers. I returned these and ordered a new pair of Addiction 2 walkers.

I have been using these Adrenalines for years but disappointed with the flat laces that come standard now and always come undone during my runs. It's very annoying when they come undone as i run 6 to 12 miles 3 times a week. Running shoes should come standard with round laces that stay locked for entire run.

They're comfortable enough and have a good design. Unfortunately, I always need extra wide shoes for comfort when running and these are a bit clunky when I run. I know they are supposed to be side to accommodate my foot, but it's almost as if each footfall is a loud clomping sound and it feels a bit awkward. I don't know if that a slimmer size is the solution because I tried the EE and felt like I was going to split the sides. Decent shoe overall, though.

I am really happy with the over all comfort and the quality , if I did not buy another pair it would be because the shoe don't fit snug enough around my entire foot, even with a thicker sock it's a loose feel.

I have logged 53km with these shoes. I am still not sure about the shoes yet. I felt that the Adrenaline 22 felt softer to run in. I ran 10 a few days ago and my feet hurt for the first time after a run. I have had some non-running related back pain recently. I am not sure if the discomfort in my feet and hips are related the back pain or shoes. I have enjoyed all Brooks shoes in the past.

I would expect a 4e to be much more roomy. My right foot still rubs.

Took the questionnaire that recommended these shoes that were supposed to be soft with lots of support. Never have I had shoes hurt my heels so much. Mystified as to why the heel part of the soles would be so hard. Bliss taking these off.

Good shoes. Nice fit. True to the Brooks ideal. Just too much bend for what I need now.

Not as comfortable underfoot, and a significantly more roomy than the Launch GTS which I prefer. However, the added weight isn't noticeable to me

I wish there was more cushion. I don't run but I walk a lot at my work. I average about 6-8 miles of walking on daily basis. I had the adrenaline 20 and it was ok thinking the higher the number the better it would be. They are just ok.

These are made much narrower than a previous model. Causing blisters and discomfort. I have been wearing Brooks shoes for a long while with no issues. I have wore them on several occasions hoping theyvwould "break in" but to no avail. They don't seem to have as much cushion and support as previous models either. I am very disappointed.

Have used past Adrenaline GTS generations intensively. This one felt different: wider, especially in the toe box); less snug; and much less cushioning in the insole. And the laces, in these and the last ones, are inferior. Will probably try a different shoe next time.

They are more narrow than the 22 version, and less comfortable.

I've worn this model for at least the last 6 models and every year seems to get just a little bit better; this is the first time it was noticeably worse. Less cushion/padding, more narrow and generally a stiffer shoe. I returned and purchased another GTS 22, which as a bonus were on sale.

Were these supposed to have cushion? My last pair of adrenaline did, no cushion at all in these.

First off as a longtime 2E wide Adrenaline customer I would like to thank Brooks for offering some real color versus the normal grey or black options. Please keep that up in the future. Now for the not so good...while my shoes have some real pop in color they feel like a dud. Whenever I get a new pair of Adrenaline's I use them exclusively for running so as to maximize mileage, normally getting 450-480 miles out of them before I start noticing sore calves or treadwear that tell me it is time to retire them. The tread on my 23s are fine, but my calves aren't loving them at all. I pay close attention to my running stats like cadence, stride length, vertical oscillation, etc. and nothing has changed other than my shoes. Unfortunately, I will probably have to retire this pair before reaching 100 miles. Brooks has built up enough goodwill with me over the years that I feel like this is a one off and I will not hesitate on buying another pair of 23s. If for some reason my experience is the same I will buy another pair of two of the 22s, which were awesome.
