This felt tight in toe box, uncomfortable enough to return. Good heel cushion.

This is my third pair of Brooks. I fell in love with the guard rails. I'm a teacher and a daily 2+ mile walker. I'm on my feet! I'm disappointed in this pair of Brooks. They are definitely not as comfortable or cushiony as the first two pairs. My feet are tired at the end of the day which is unusual so I'm not wearing them everyday anymore.

The shoe material and sole felt very stiff compared to past Brooks Adrenaline I’ve worn.

After I worked out in the shoe in was slipping up and down from the heel. It was not noticeable until I started working out. The material on this style was easily flexible! The pouter fabric gathered at the toes during several exercises. Fabric not taunt! I have worn adrenaline for awhile. This was my first time with this fabric and slipping up and down in the heel area.

I did not read the reviews beforehand, because I have worn Brooks for over a decade. But, as others have said you will likely need to order a half size up. I liked the shoe otherwise.

I have wide feet and something about these shoes caused the worst flair up of metatarsalgia I've ever experienced. The shoes look good and feel fine when I put them on but slowly as I walk around something isn't right with the arch of these and it becomes unbearable to wear, the pain continues for days after. I have never had a shoe do this to my feet before and I don't know what is different about this style internally which is unfortunate because they look so cute. It's hard to find wide sneakers that are comfortable to walk long distance that also don't look like marshmallows that enlarge the appearance of my feet.

Like most Brooks shoes, these started off really well. Very supportive in the beginning, but after a month or so of daily use, the support is gone. I have dozens of Brooks shoes with "in perfect shape" tops, with zero support.

I have worn the Brooks Adrenaline Women's shoe for years. Last year the Wide became less wide and I ordered a comparable men's size, hoping to get back to the width I was accustomed to in the Women's shoe. It was better, but still not as wide. When I saw the double W offer this year on Women's, I decided to try it, but the toe box is huge. I am puzzled as to what to order now.

I really wanted to love these but when I wore them I started feeling the top of my toe rubbing so will return these.

I like the Adrenaline 22's so much better! The 23's do not have that back heel comfort like the 22's did. I have plantar fasciitis and when I wear the 22s, I feel absolutely no heel pain but when I wear the new 23s, I feel some of that planter fasciitis pain and I also noticed that the shoes don't fit as snug around my feet like the 22s.

I love this shoe because it gets me through long shifts at work. I walk up to 17,000 steps a day and my feet don't hurt. That being said, the reason I'm only giving these shoes a 3, is that part of the sole are peeling off and I've only had them for about a month and a half.

3 stars for appearance. Very cheap removable insole that has been replaced with some better ones. If Brooks would use better quality cushioning I would buy more. Will keep these only because I don't want the hassle of returning.

They were super comfortable, but too clunky and felt heavy to me. I had to return them because I needed something that didn't weigh my feet down.

I've worn the Adrenaline for many years. My current pair has the same flap of cloth in the toe area that I see mentioned in another reviewyou can feel it scrunching up in there, which is weird and distracting. Also pretty over the color selection for the 23. I've had 4 of them by this time and would love to see some cool combos more like what's available in the Glycerin.

I normally wear a 6.5 wide in womens. this shoe was very tight in the width with the size 6.5 wide and the arch was hard and uncomfortable. I could not exchange for a double wide bc it was not available. hoping the Brooks Adrenaline STS 21 will fit better.

The shoes came and the one lace was clearly run through a machine, ripped, stained black with a minor scuff on the tip of the shoe. I hate to exchange due to laces but am also very sad that I paid over 100$ USD for an item that is damaged...

I’ve worn Brooks Adrenalines for 15 years but this version of the Adrenaline really doesn’t work for me. The color in the narrow is gorgeous but I had to send them back to Brooks. Thank goodness they have a generous return policy. The length is half a size shorter than the 22’s and even though I have a narrow foot and the width was fine, the toe box isn’t deep enough and the tips of the shoes kept rubbing and gave me blisters. I’ve never had this happen before with a running shoe and it’s really disappointing. Fortunately I had some bandaids with me while out on a long walk but I’m not piling on bandaids over my toes to avoid blisters on a running shoe which technically should fit perfectly and not need a lengthy break in period. Do better on the next version. I’ll stick with the 22’s and just get a pair on sale.

I initially ordered a size 7. While the right shoe felt okay, the left one felt small. I returned them and got a 7 1/2. Strangely, the right shoe still felt okay, but the left one seemed big. I kept trying to make these work because the right shoe seemed to be pretty comfortable, but after a long walk today, my left foot was hurting too much for me to keep trying them. I'm going to have to return this pair as well.
