I have bought and loved 4 pairs of the Adrenaline GTS per year for probably the last 4 years. The new GTS 23 is far too small in the toe box. The width, height and length is entirely different and too small. I loved the old design because I cannot stand a restricted toe box but in the new model my toe is constantly hitting material at top, side and end. I now have to look for a new shoe. Very sad.

Great quality made shoes. I am on my feet everyday between 5-8 hours. I tried them without inserts and they were awful. Tried them with inserts and they're good but not great. My on clouds were better but they were not made as well as these. I won't buy again.

First, I love my Brooks Adrenaline shoes. But every pair I buy it wears through the top of the shoes (big toe & I keep my nails trimmed). Maybe some reinforcement would help.

I have several pairs of Brooks Adrenaline GTS 22's.I recently decided to try the 23's.I am rather disappointed. They look and feel just as comfortable, if not more so than the 22's.However, why would they mess with the structure of the shoe,the part on the back of your ankle is lower so it now makes my shoe slip alittle,and I don't feel that snug cradle of support on the back of my ankle.I am very unhappy about this,as the 23's have alot of great colors to choose from.I am as of yet still undecided but unfortunately I may have to return them.

I love Brooks shoes, I have worn them for years and never had a problem. BUT, these shoes peel off when you wash them! I love white shoes and have to wash them once a week because I work and exercise on asphalt! I have never had this problem with any other Brooks shoe. All I can think is cheap! Only the Brooks adrenaline 23. I have had to buy Hoka. Which I really don’t like as much but I hate ugly unkept looking shoes!

The 23 model feels just a tad shorter and narrower in the toe box than the 22 model. I might reorder a half a size bigger.

This last pair I ordered seems to he more snug in the toe area compared to my last few pairs. I don't know if I will buy again.

This is the right amount of grip for me on the tread, and I love the cushion feel. I run on well packed trails. But, my heels slide up and down so much in these. It's changing my form. I went from the revel to these, I'm hoping as I use them more I'll like them more.

Truly, I am trying to replace the Brooks Ghost models 11-13 since later models changed fit so much. I was hopeful that the Adrenaline GTS 23 could be it, but no luck. They run a bit narrow but didn't fit well. Why do shoe company create loyal fans and then change the fit?

Disappointed that these didn't fit. Too tight across the mid-foot and a touch too short. No extra-wide in stock in my size or 1/2 size up.

They were to small on my left foot ,due to it being swollen.

Great looking shoe, more fashion forward then previous models!
However, even though i got it in wide, the toe box is very tight and feels like a narrow.

I purchased as they're recommended for plantar fasciitis but the side supports hurt my foot. I actually find the Ghost more comfortable I just wish you had more styling options with the Ghost as you do with the Adrenaline.

Love the design of the shoe and the support seems adequate for what I need, however, I'm having trouble with a little "heel slip". I've read where a narrow may possibly be the answer for me, but I see that a narrow is not currently available in my size. Tried lacing them tighter and that helps a bit. I am going to give these another week to see if lacing them tighter doesn't seem to make them more comfortable.

I have ordered 2 diffrent pr of the adrenaline 23 shoes . I love the 1st pair which was a light in color pair , the 2nd pr was black on black and just not the same as the 1st pr. The same thing happened on my adrenaline 21's. Not sure what the deal is.

The Adrenaline GTS 23 seems stiff and unwelcoming. It's feels shorter and more narrow than other Adrenalines I've had of the same size and the fabric is so rigid I could hardly get them on. I wouldn't recommend them.

My last Brooks were the Ghost 14 which fit my very narrow foot perfectly. This style was much wider and puckered when I tightened the laces.
The shoes are nice and light which I love. Unfortunately they just don't work for me.

I purchased the limited edition black and blue colored shoe with the black sole. The shoe color was very unattractive, but I was willing to go with it for the fit and support. Sadly, the guide rails extended to far into the arch and cut into mine. I purchased a wide. The shoes were also rock hard. On the plus side, the tongue was nice and wide so that the tops of the shoes and the tied laces did actually lay on the tongue instead of the sides of my foot. Sadly, due to the guide rail problems and the lack of cushioning, I had to return the shoes. I wouldn't recommend the color.

Why do the men get all the cool colors and the women get lame pastels? C'mon.

I went a half size larger than my usual size and length felt good. Very good true to EE width in forefoot which is getting harder to find, but shoe felt too wide in the middle and heel. Just not the best fit for my feet.

They are comfortable but so narrow in the toe box especially
What is going on with brooks
I have worn brooks for over 15 years specifically because of my foot issues - over pronation, bunions
Every iteration of these shoes are getting more fashionable
I don't buy them for fashion I buy then for comfort and function
Please stop changing the shoes people with neutral feet have a billion options
Also I like to tie my shoes with the heel lock and the laces are too short to do that.
