I love the look. I have always ordered Ghost. These were tight and stiff to me. Will go back to Ghost. Just trying something new. Thank you!

I didn't love the feel of them when I first put them on. Firm which is fine but didn't match up with my arch very well. I've had some in the past I liked so maybe it's just this one. Love brooks so will try another one!

Glad I bought these on sale. I wanted a very cushioned shoe-these are not. I used to wear the Ravennas and have now tried two other Brooks and both aren't great for that price. Cheap shoelaces.

The shoe is light in weight but, the material is not sturdy (stitches and glue).

I'm so disappointed. These are nothing like my last pair of Brooks. I only kept them because I had hoped they only needed to be broken in. They feel fine when I am walking or standing. But the the left shoe has a problem. When I'm sitting the support for the tongue and laces has a sharp corner that pokes me. Any ideas?

I love Brooks and the Andrenaline GTS. Had many of them before but for some reason this pair seemed a bit harder on my sole. I'm not sure if this is becuase I had a pair of Ghost prior to them and they are better on my feet. But bottom line Brooks are amazine

It seems you have changed the fit on the Adrenaline shoes! I have worn these for years and survived changes in the past, however, these shoes no longer fit my feet. On the inner forefoot of the shoe from the ball of my foot to the top of the great toe is getting rubbed by the shoe and is uncomfortable to wear even for walking. I will return and reorder the Ghost and hope for the best

I always love Brook Adrenaline, but this particular pair seemed to run too long and wide. I always order the same size and they usually fit perfectly. Not tis pair, so am disappointed.

I have purchased this same shoe 2 times. The third pair i ordered (and am now returning) feel completely different. Less cushion, stiff and tight (I ordered a wide) they weee like a completely different shoe from the previous orders.

Not as comfortable as the Addiction GTS 15, and doesn't seem to be as much arch support.

I have worn the Ghost in the same size and width, and then ordered the Adrenaline GTS22 for style and features. Unfortunately, it is tight and less comfortable, wish I had returned this pair before wearing them.

It will be my second pair of Adrenaline GTS 22, Once the new pair excitement wears off, I'm still really perplexed and annoyed with the extremely short laces. Why provide heel lock holes if there isn't enough lace to use them?
Also, I hope you will have come up with a better fabric for the heel cup that will not absolutely shred to pieces after a few wears.
I've been wearing Adrenalines for almost 10 years, and I wish you'd quit changing what doesn't need it.

Found this style to be very stiff and uncomfortable. The inner sole was not comfortable. Returned for Ghost 14

Still trying to get used to them but not sure if they're for me. I love the Ghost 15 and the Glycerins I've had in the past. For these the shoe doesn't seem as supportive as I need. The laces are super short, which causes them to come untied in the middle of a run. I'm currently running with an ankle brace as I'm recovering from a sprain. They work well for work, but I'm not so sure about running.

I've worn Brooks for years and will continue to wear them, but not this style. I walk on concrete floors a lot and this style leaves the ball of my feet feeling unsupported. When I take them off at the end of the day, the balls of my feet are achy. If I were running in them, I'd guess I'd be even less happy. Ghosts work for me but not Adrenaline.

The quality is not as expected. The left shoe has a piece of hard plastic or something that is stiff. This area rubs on the side of the ankle. I have to wear higher socks to avoid. These shoe have made my feet feel better. I no longer have pain on the outside of my foot.

So I hate writing a not so glowing review but here goes. Let me preface this by saying I have been running in Brooks Glycerin and Ghosts for 8 years and decided to try the Adrenaline GTS based on the shoe finder recommendation,. I have the Glycerin GTS20 and those were great but the Adrenaline makes my back, hips and knees ache after 13 hour shifts. The Glycerin GTS was a game changer and I will be going back to those.
Pros: great toe box room for widish foot, great support
Cons: sole is hard and not cushioning

Unfortunately not the shoes for me. Bought two pairs during the sale, and did a single test jog on a treadmill before I owing they needed to go back. Too narrow in the toe box (I did get regular width, which I have done in the past with Brooks and felt OK) but the major deal breaker was the blister on the back of my ankle I got after just 3 miles (wearing socks that covered that area).
I get supply and demand, but I was also pretty bummed when I ordered that none of the more fun limited edition colors were available in the wide width.

Great colors. Not the best shoe for long distance running. I've been wearing for 2 weeks and they are still stiff. Can't seem to break them in.

I've worn Brooks Adrenalines for many years. Occasionally, there's a version that feels different and not in a good way. The same size of these is shorter than the previous version. I kept 1 pair that I ordered and am wearing them to the gym but can't run in them bc my toes will be cramped, especially if my feet swell. And, as others have said, the shoelaces are really short.

I bought these in the black/purple/coral and they weren't as comfortable as my ghosts, but also after like only a month the coral (more like a pink) on the bottom of the sole started peeling away from the rest of the shoe, so you feel this flapping because it's not attached. I won't buy the adrenaline's again. Super disappointed. It wasn't from daily wear either because I had also bought a pair of Saucony, and a pair of New Balance the same day and was switching between the three pairs to see how they fit. Another friend also had the same problem.

Purchased the Black/Purple/Coral normnal size 8.5. this pair fit a little snugger than all my others, but still have nice cushion and feel good on the street.
I rated them 3 stars due to the color - they are supposed to be black, purple and coral but they have a blue liner and actually look blue/navy NOT black. Not a huge problem, unless they are part of a coordinated uniform - and it looks like you bought the wrong shoe, especially under the bright competition lights. The snugger fit than normal also earned them a lower star. I actually leave the left shoe untied with the laces tucked in to make it more comfortable on my surgery scars and pins.

Because of my severe over pronation the Adrenalin GTS are my go to running shoes, but my newest pair don't feel as good as previous versions. They don't have the cushion I'm used to and I can feel it throughout my body when I run and even post run. I'll give them a few more runs to see if anything changes, but I'm a little sad because previously this shoe had been so consistent and reliable. Might have to look for a different support shoe in the future.

I normally wear Launch GTS (size 9W), but grabbed a pair of these based on the reviews and a good sale price. While supportive and comfortable, I found them rather heavy and clunky on the treadmill, and much prefer the Launch GTS.

I have been wearing Adrenaline GTS for years This is the 6th pair I have owned, I noticed some differences this time.
While the Adrenaline's are still better than other brands I have noticed the quality has slipped. Notably in the materials. Also the support just doesn't measure up the same either.
The shoelaces are an annoying example. Between the material they now use and how much shorter the laces are these untie by themselves often and its a pain.
It's not my imagination. I compared the lace length with my most recent pairs and definitely shorter.
I don't expect these will wear as long either.
