Customer Reviews Brooks Adrenaline GTS 23

The first two weeks, I thought these were the best shoes I've ever worn. However, I'm only around 100 miles in and the heels are showing some wear and, after 11 miles this morning, the soles of my feet were a bit sore. Overall, I still like them, but not with quite the same level of enthusiasm.

I'm not running, just looking for something comfortable for my feet, knees and hip

Why can't you make more 2W shoes? Many have been sold out since pre-launch. It took 3 years of GTS rollouts with varying tweaks to get this shoe line back to the Brooks' standard, and now it's impossible to order the product outside of a boring colors if someone is 2W. All the good styles are sold out. Ramp up your production or introduce "new 2024 colors" now. You are losing sales. I've ordered 2 neon green pair and would order 2 right now in red, white and blue out of fear you'll tinker with this model and screw it up next year.

I love Brooks, I have about a dozen pair in all different styles. I am a casual shoe wearer, I walk a lot during the week because I travel for work and am walking through airports often, I certainly don't beat up on my shoes. Within a month, and only wearing these about six times, the rubber from the tread on the heel began to separate from the cushion of the shoe. About 4 of the heel pieces on each shoe. I used Gorilla Glue to put them back in place, and they are holding for now. I can't imagine that those that run in these won't have the same problem and may not have the same results with glue.

It's irritating enough to have your selection limited by having wide feet but when the shoe company decides to make their wide width less wide, that's a problem. The second I slipped on the size I've been wearing for 10 years, I knew they'd cut corners. I had to go to xxw which meant I had TWO choices for color. I'm getting ready tired of constantly getting shorted by corporations. I've had at least three other people say they noticed the same thing with Brooks.

I wear size 7 shoes and I have really wide feet so I have to order 4E width. The Adrenalines are the only shoes Brooks make that are in that size and width. I tried on the 23s and they felt like they were a size 8. I had almost 2 thumbs widths of space in the toe box. The width was great, but they were too long.

I love the design and details of the shoe, but can't say the same about the fitting. My previous shoe of choice was the Gek Kayano 25. I did a comparison as I still have them. With the Asics my feet fit into the shoe like a glove even without tying them they feel like a custom fit with no movement of my feet. These GTS 23 shoes however are not quite snug enough. I feel too much space around the frontal foot area. When I run i can feel my foot make small movements in the shoe. This difference does not make for a truly comfortable run for me & can feel like I'm expending more energy.

I like the shoe and it fits well. My only complaint is that the bottom of the shoe has minimal padding for the bottom of the foot. Very different from my Brooks GT21s

Not bad, but not ideal for me. A bit on the heavy side, a tad snug and laughably short laces. Decent support though if you're willing to break them in for a couple weeks. Still like Glycerin GTS 20s better. They're lighter, have more cushion and (for some reason) longer, stretchier laces. The Adrenaline 23s will stand up to more punishment, however. I'll give them that. Quite sturdy.

I've been a Brooks fan for many years now. I Run every year about 1000 KM. The online recommendation that I've seen says to change the brooks shoes every 560 KM, which is what I've been doing my whole life and it always seems to be the right time for me. Unfortunately, after running with these adrenaline GTS 23 for less than 60 KM the bottom of the sole is fading away, quicker than ever in this pace I'll probably need to purchase new ones when I reach 200-300 KM. I find this to be very disappointing. I'm hoping that the next generation (GTS 24) will be made out of higher quality material.

Without a doubt, these are awesome running shoes. Excellent fit, are very comfortable and they are keeping my feet even when hitting the ground. I am disappointed that I see the cloth tops of these shoes already showing signs of wear with the material bobbling up and fraying. And only after a few weeks of using them. I'm in my 60's so not running marathons. Mainly walking and occasionally running about 15 miles a week. Hopefully they can improve this in the future.

These shoes were okay, but didn't provide the cushioning I like/need. I returned them and will buy a pair of Brooks Gylercin GTS as they are the replacement shoes for the Transcends I've always purchased.

For some reason the 23's don't seem to cushion as well as my 22's do. The 22's where white and are not grey and ratty so thus the 23's. I saw they said they changed the sole/cushion configurations but having worn the GTS's for 10 years did not think about it. Never had to "break them in" much so hoping it gets better.

I have purchased about 6-8 pairs of Adrenaline GTS shoes. I have really loved them and was a firm believer in the shoes. However, this time they do not seem to fit as well. I ordered the same size and width as before. But, these seem to wide or something. I considered reordering the narrow size but am concerned that they may not be any better fit. Plus, it appears the narrow size only comes in one color. And the shoes strings are too long. Unless you tie them just right they rub on the ground. I am disappointed and am open for suggestions on how to proceed. Also wondering if I should try to order last years model. Thank you!

I'm not a runner. I'm a walker and truth be told, the black shoe is for work, I stand on my feet all day. To be honest I'm not as happy as I was with the old adrenaline, which was a 5 star for me. Something feels different in the arch, like no support. They'll do for work, just not as happy a the happy camper I was. I use to brag about my shoes before.. sorry it's not the all positive feed back you were probably hoping for.. have a blessed day. Aloha Tami

I may have received a defective pair. I ordered the GTS 23 on December 6th and didn't start running in them until December 20th. I have about 40 miles on them and my right knee was bugging me for the majority of my run today ,and even after my run. I did not have this issue with my older GTS 23. I'm going to send these back.

Love Brooks. I've had over 50 pairs. However this is more of a purple this blue. The gray that looks dark is very light. Wasted money unfortunately. Looks like a woman's shoe.

I've had countless other pairs of Adrenaline shoes and this version is my least favorite. Much less support than previous versions. I feel like they have less cushion than previous designs. They're lighter than previous designs, which isn't awful but not what I was expecting. It survived my recent marathon in Dec 24', but I would purchase this version again. Hopefully the 24 is better

They are wearing out way too fast. I'm only getting about 2 months out of my brooks these days. That's not really expectable to me.

Not nearly as comfortable as my hoka's

Weird fit, like there wasn't enough sole for edge of my foot.

This show is really hard. I've always worn Ghost and got this on sale. It has really poor support and cushioning.
