I had high hopes for these, but they are just too hard and stiff. These are supposed to be the best fit for my running needs, but there is just no cushion. I don't think I'll keep them:-(

I tried this shoe because you no longer make the ghost 15 and the ghost 16 is way too wide. I have been wearing your shoes since 2015. The GTS was too long. Therefore I had to return it. I don't seem to be able to find a shoe comparable to the ghost 15. I am so disappointed. I felt that Brooks offered the best walking shoe I have ever worn.

These were not comfortable. I had an older version, which I loved. These felt like they had no cushion. They felt hard on the inside.

Unfortunately the changes you have made to the adrenaline GTS 23 do not work for me. I have always worn a 7 1/2 medium. They are 1/4 to 1/2 inch narrower than previous models. I tried a 7 1/2 wide- too wide for me. I tried an 8-too long. It didn't fit my arch correctly. I then tried another 7 1/2 medium thinking it might just be that particular shoe but again it didn't fit. Too narrow and a bit too short.

Chunky, clunky, and not sleek or stylish whatsoever. Fits well, support is good. Just wasn’t wanting such a clunky shoe.

I really dislike the shape of this shoe. I do not have a wide foot. This is a B width and too wide. Please do something about the shoe laces. They do not stay tied. Please go back to the regular style shoe. I have worn Brooks for years and I am so disappointed in these shoes.

Very disappointed! I loved the fit and support, of the Adrenaline GTS 22 shoe. They had to go and change something that worked! Why? The new Adrenaline GTS is not working for me. No support and the materials are light and flimsy. The changed the fit, support & the footbed drop, which makes it impossible to put in orthotics. Guess I'll have to go over to another brand

There is an unevenness with the arch support. Left shoe had more support than right. So back they go. Getting disappointed in the Brooks brand.

This is my first uncomfortable Brook shoe. I have the Levitate & the Ghost 13, which I love, both gifts from my daughter . I bought the Adrenaline GTs 23 on sale. I find the shoes stiff & my toes on top of both feet are sore at end if day. I wear them indoors only as my support shoes. I thought maybe they would soften after a month of wearing daily but no change. I will be sending back & wait for a sale on the other two brands. I wear a size 6 1/2 & the other 2 brands fit perfectly.

I'm a little disappointed. I'm not sure if different colors/styles of the adrenaline gts 23 are made in different places? But these are the only shoe I feel comfortable running in & I have bought and returned a few times because some are too big, or too narrow. Very inconsistent .I luckily found 2 that work! But I run a lot of miles, wish I could try on more before they change the style again.

Not comfortable. Minimal cushioning. I need more cushioning. Some memory gel in specific areas would be good. I was very disappointed with this item. I read review after review but reviews can be deceiving. Color was not very appealing either. The color was boring. Lacked style.

I have a hard arch support insert I use, I put them in and I felt like I was coming out of the shoe. The inside is somewhat shallow, didn’t feel secure to walk felt like the shoe was going to come out.

it usually takes me few days to break any new shoe in but those shoes nope. I've worn them for a couple of weeks and unfortunately, my feet get really achy at the end of the day. I work in a hospital and I'm on my feet and walking a lot. It even started to flare up my planter fasciitis. So I'm going back o last year's model and will most likely start exploring other brands since I've seen the adrenaline change quality over time.

I have worn Brooks Adrenaline shoes for years. This was the first pair I have purchased since the switch from 22 to 23. Incredibly disappointing. There is no cushion, no spring. Your foot flatly slaps the ground and even the Adrenaline 's famed stability is greatly reduced. Feels like a shoe costing a third the price. My feet hurt, my knees hurt, my back hurts. Today I slipped into a year old pair of Adrenaline 22s that have been worn to death- my feet, knees and back instantly felt better. In year old, worn out shoes. Brooks, whatever you have done to the Adrenaline line, please return it to the fit and comfort we have come to expect.

Uggh.... not a fan. I had the 22s and while they were comfortable, they just didn't last very long. I gave the 23s a try and they have lost the comfort of the 22s and frankly they were ugly.

I have been running in Brooks, for years. The last few pairs I've purchased seem to have little to no padding or shock absorption. I love the fit and the wider toe box but I also expect some comfort in the insoles and I have to say, there is minimal. I am truly disappointed.

Felt harder in the sole and too much room in the toe box compared to the 2022 version. Don't like it!

Good stability but poor cushioning in this version. This has been my fallback shoe for years. I always try to find a different shoe with a more comfortable toe box. But this shoe has the perfect level of stability for me. I came back again but had to return this version. They were more narrow than a previous version I have. Getting wide fixed that. But walking in them it was like there was no cushion in the front. Under the ball of my foot didn't feel any more cushioned than walking in my house barefoot. There just wasn't enough to be comfortable. The version I have still from a few years ago has a roomier fit and more cushioning. Brooks also needs to get into the foot shaped toe box. Most people's feet don't come to a point.

My friend recommended Brooks to me and told me how she will never wear a different shoe again. I had been running in Nikes for years, but would experience a little back pain so I thought I'd give Brooks a shot. They were very comfortable when I tried them on but after a couple of miles, my toes start to tingle and it's uncomfortable to continue running. This shoes are my correct size and they don't fit tight at all. When I mentioned it to her, she said she has the same pair and the same thing happens to her. They're great for standing in all day (which i would do for work) just not the running shoes I'd hope for them to be.

I've been wearing this shoe since the GTS 18 version, which was the best. Every new version they change something and usually not for the best. This last version 23 was the worst change so far. Both my front toes hurt after using the shoe. Disappointed.

These shoes made me feel tired and sad. I lost the 'bounce' in my step, and I felt like I had to work to pick up each foot to continue walking. It was an odd sensation, and I just wanted to take the shoes off.

These are super narrow shoes! I purchased a Wide like I always do and honestly it wasn't wide enought. I used to wear the Ghost in Wide and somehow these are more narrow than the Ghost. They also run shorter than previous Brooks I've owned. Finally, the heel has cushion, but it almost feels like a lump vs extra cushioning. Strange shoe - back it goes!
