Customer Reviews Brooks Adrenaline GTS 23

Great shoe but doesn't offer the proper support for me as well as the Beast GTS 23. I'm 6'3" 275lbs.

Just doesn't feel right, widths are different much wider than other shoes I've had from Brooks in the past

More poorly constructed than previous versions--the cushioned insert started slipping after a handful of runs.

The shoe is great. Unfortunately the color choices don't work for me. I ended up with the Ghost. Not as good of a shoe but much better color choices.

I've tried the past two versions of this show and they just don't fit right compared to the 20 version. Sadly have to return again.

Wasn't a fan of the colors or the colors for 2023 in this line. I typically buy 2-3 pair a year. What options of other models that I may have with a similar fit and profile. Thank you!

The Adrenaline 19 was one of the most comfortable pairs of shoes I've ever worn, and really sold me on Brooks shoes. Each new generation has gotten increasingly less comfortable. I was really hoping that the Adrenaline GTS 23 version would be better, but for my feet they're not. The arch support on the left shoes is uncomfortable, and the right shoe pinches my big toe unmercifully. I have to return these shoes.

The Adrenaline GTS 23 is a great shoe, but the quality control and depiction of colors are a problem. Quality control: With Glycerin GTS 19 & 20 and Adrenaline GTS 22 & 23, it's been my experience that one or both shoes are not flat/balanced. Take them out of the box, set them on the counter or floor, and then apply light, downward pressure to the top of the back of the heel. Try to gently wiggle the shoe by moving your finger slightly side-to-side. There should be no obvious wobble. Yes, there should be a little sway and no two shoes are identical, but you'll commonly find at best that one shoe is fine, and the other wobbles left or right. Or that they both wobble. Seldom get two shoes that just sit flat. The wobble won't go away over time and causes me pain in one knee or one hip or one ankle, when another pair of the same shoe without the wobble does not cause any such pain. Color issues: Was able to order colors not yet released (see screenshot; try editing an item from your cart to see what colors are actually available vs. what is listed on the main page for the shoe), and was THRILLED until they arrived. 017 - Oyster/Black/Red Orange is white, not grey-ish as depicted. The entire shoe is lighter in color than the light grey depicted as the highlight in the photo. 373 - Green Gecko/Grey/Atomic Blue is actually all the color of the light green highlight and looks bright fluorescent green in person--the entire shoe, that is. Kinda looks like Kermit green in the photo, but is not at all like that. Neither shoe looks anything like the photos, in terms of color. Not talking slight variation here, but almost borderline catfishing, in terms of looking nothing like the photo at all. I was so disappointed and sent back the same day. Should've taken photos, but to be honest, I was actually furious and couldn't believe how off the colors were. I will buy this shoe again and still recommend it, but check for the wobble and be prepared for the color shock.

I've worn Brooks shoes for over ten years, but this one really is starting to bother me. The shoe is very comfortable, but the shoelaces are the worse, I take 10 steps and either the left or right one has to be retied.

Unfortunately, Brooks said they changed the type of foam in the base and it is not very supportive compared to previous years. My feet started hurting the first time I wore them and I returned the Adrenaline GTS 23. This is not what I would consider a stability shoe - not by a long shot. The top fabric stretches over time, minimal stitching reduces overall stability; durability not what it was in older models. Design engineers, please go back to the drawing board. Reference older Adrenaline models that actually supported the foot and provided stability. Customer focus groups??? Very disappointed.....

Squeaks like a duck. Couldn't take the noise. Also a bit too 'tipped forward' with heel emphasis. Returned them.

Too tight on top of foot. Like every Brooks shoe I have tried it starts off with cushioning then 2 days later they feel like I am walking on a plank of wood. This is the reason I don't buy the Addiction Walker anymore, figured maybe a cushioned running shoe would be better but it is actually worse. A painful experience.

I've used adrenalines for years, but these are tearing my feet up. At first I thought I just needed to break them in, but now I'm not so sure. Definitely looking for a different shoe if this is the new direction for the adrenaline.

Terrible shoes. Fit is poor and the quality is bad

After 3 weeks or so both my feet are bruised by my little toe.
