I didn't wear the shoes outside since the base of the shoe around the ball area is too wide in my opinion and felt odd. I was very disappointed since I have 3 pairs of the '22 adrenaline that fit perfect. The inside width of the shoe felt fine, but not the sole.

Wore the Adrenaline GTS for years and loved them. Tried to replace my worn out GTS 22's with these but this new model is much narrower across the top of the foot and in the toe box. Really not workable with high arches. I sure wish I could find a new pair of the 22's in my size!

Recommended by my local run store & ordered in Feb. I added them into my rotation and wear them about 2 hours per week for light workouts & on treadmill. The support is lacking and they are pilling on inside near ankle. I've loyal to Brooks and seeking another option to replace these.

This shoe has an odd fit compared to the previous Adrenaline models. The width in the toe area (wide width) still causes a squeeze to my little toes. But the biggest problem is that the ankle area opening is too loose & try as I might I couldn’t get it to tighten up to support my foot. It’s like maybe the back of the shoe needs to lean forward more? Not a fan of this model & I’ve been wearing the Adrenaline for years. Tried the Ghost & it’s wide isn’t really wide. Searching now for a different brand with truly a wide toe box & good arch support.

I have waited a long time to leave a review. However, I feel this must be said. I have 3 pairs of Adrenaline, 20, 21, and 22. I love the fit, the run, and some of the colors I have purchased. Within a year of each purchase, either the upper material has worn a hole (tropical palm trees style 21), or the inside material in the heal has torn so badly (20 & 22) that I have to chunk them in the trash. I have a pair of Ghosts and am wondering if the same thing will happen. I have a few other brands, and this has not happened to them. I won't buy another Brooks until something changes.

With each step I felt every vibration and that was walking on carpet. I did not feel they would be comfortable on hard surfaces

These did not work for me. My feet were in agony, my lower joints ached. I think I'll stick with neutral shoes. The fit was good.

On my podiatrists recommendation I was to only wear Adrenaline line. I purchased the 2022 and fell in love but the 2022 didn't have an all black needed for work. I purchased the 2023 in all black for work. And immediately noticed differences. They are not as comfortable, there is less padding in the heel, the heel area seems more narrow and while using a high arch pattern it still doesn't help with relieving pressure off top of the foot. All these things were in the 2022. Please make the 2024s more like the 2022s and leave the 2023s in 2023. The only reason I kept it is because I couldn't find a 2022 in all black.

I've bought Adrenalines for years. My feet haven't changed much in all of that time but every few years or so, Brooks decides to revamp this extremely popular model--WHICH PEOPLE BUY OVER AND OVER AGAIN BECAUSE THEY LIKE THE WAY THEY FIT--and then they end up with a stinker that only newbies or the truly desperate will buy/keep. At least a half size too short compared to previous years. My big toes were right up there trying to push their way out of my shoe. I think the width was mostly okay but possibly not as wide and/or deep in the toe box either. I don't know for sure because I couldn't keep them on that long. I'm not a runner but I live in my sneakers so they have to be comfortable to be worn all day like I do. I just got these today and I am returning them tonight. I found some Adrenaline 22s on Amazon and already ordered 2 pair of those.

Even with the foot doctor association's high praise, I don't get the hype. I purchased 2 pairs and both were too small. On the first pair I tried, my larger foot didn't fit so I assumed I just needed to go up a half size. Finally ordered a half-size up and they were still too small. I tried them on both feet and even on the smaller foot the toe was hitting the front. Also, I kind of felt like they were rolling my feet in (pronating), although maybe I walk supinated. I got the '25th exclusive' pair and online they looked cute, but in person I wasn't much of a fan. One thing I did like was that the back of the shoe is low, so it won't irritate the back of the ankle. Too expensive to not be in love with them.

I had a pair before that was great and lasted well, very supportive. Returned to this brand on recommendation of podiatrist for neuroma and overprinting. Was great for about two weeks, now suddenly feels like the insoles collapsed or something - no support, my instep and big toe rub against inside of the shoe and the insole seam. Was chatting with a friend and the EXACT same thing happened. Hope the store takes them back! Please change back - my ancient SAUCONYS support better than these!

These are longer than the ghosts, making sizing difficult. Where I normally wear a 7, I should've gotten a 6.5 in these probably. The decals on the side also started peeling after one run. Next time I'll stick to the ghosts.

It was too good to be true. I loved the color and look, but when I received them and tried to wear them in the house to break them in I was in PAIN! I tried and tried but after 20 minutes I took them off and my toes were numb for another half an hour. They were hard as rock! Weirdly enough I tried on 7 different pairs of shoes, including this model at Dicks the week after and they weren't THAT hard. I'm skeptical to try to order them again.

Returned them. Love the 22 but felt the GTS 23 was not as comfortable.
Will stick to my 22. Just wish they had more colors to choose from.

I have been running in Brooks Adrenalines for many years. This one is a little too firm for me. I'm a little older now so I need a bit more cushioning for my long runs.

Ick, these shoes have obviously been worn previously, there was lots of human and or pet hair on the insoles. I am returning because I also ordere a half size smaller and that ended up fitting me the best

These are nothing like the Adrenaline 20 I bought a couple years ago. Not a soft feel or the insole support for pronation. Maybe I got a defective pair but the insole came out and was not affixed to the inside of the shoe?? Super weird. Ordered my normal size and it was too short in the toe. I returned them and won???t be ordering again. Looks like the newest versions of the Adrenaline style are not as good as prior versions. I???ll be buying a different brand going forward.
