I really wish that Brooks would leave the cushioning alone in these shoes. It used to be spectacular. The last two models have had a significant decrease in cushioning. I noticed it right away as I have a foot issue that responds poorly to poor changes very quickly. But when my non-running friends even noticed a difference (and one thought she was crazy for thinking it!), it???s not great. I???m going to try out the Glycerin GTS model next when my current adrenalines kick the bucket. But to say I???m disappointed is an understatement. Please fix this, Brooks.

I have Plantar Fasciitis and I work in food services. I thought these would work for me definitely not.

I'm so disappointed in these. I mainly use them for walking and haven't had them 6 months and the toe part is already peeling off and the heel is breaking down and cracking. My last pair I've had for over 2 years and they are still in really good shape.

Not comfortable at all I ordered a pair. They were defective so they sent me a replacement pair. I sent it defective pair back and I donated the replacement because they were so incredibly uncomfortable

I like the feel of the shoe, very light weight, however the back hurts my heels. I gave it a few weeks still painful. I have a few other brooks and never had this issue.

The right shoe hurt the outside of my right foot. Somehow the shoes do not have the same "feel" as my other pairs of Brooks Adrendaline.

I do not run, I wear the shoes for work, and I am on my feet the majority of the day. I have been wearing the Ghost style for years. I thought I would try a shoe with "more support". I found the Adrenaline GTS 23 to be very stiff with minimal cushion. Uncomfortable for me. Returned

Brooks Adrenaline shoes have been my choice of shoes for many years due to the comfort and support. In the past, I have taken the shoes straight from the box and worn them without any breaking in. However, this pair does has not lived up to my previous pairs. There does not seem to be any cushion for the ball of my foot and the high back of the shoe immediately rubbed a blister. However, I do like the wide toe box. I have returned to my old pair of Brooks Adrenaline for now and will continue to try to break in the new pair.

The toe box is too wide as well as altered in some way I can't define. The GTS 22 fit me perfectly. Seems to me that Brooks has catered to the wide foot in their medium width. Really, why not make the wide fit wider? Let us medium fit people have an actually medium fit, instead of wide marked as medium. Disappointed with this shoe. I'm glad I've got a few pairs of 22s left and can only hope that we get the better fit back for the next round of changes. I don't know they have to keep meddling with the fit. Give us some new colors for a change but leave the fit alone. It was not broken, and did not need to be fixed.

I have several pairs of Brooks shoes and had especially liked the Adrenaline; however, the last two pairs of Adrenalines I ordered, a few months ago, do NOT have the comfort as the previous shoes I bought. When walking, shoes feels stiff and lacks cushion support. Feels new inserts are needed. Not comfortable at all. My guess cheaper materials. I plan to return both pairs, Very disappointed!

If you like the feeling the ground when your foot strikes, this isn't the shoe for you. They're stiff and it feels like i'm walking (or running) with bricks on my feet. This is an issue as your ankles do not get used to correcting stability issues on their own; they heavily rely on the heel guards. I had a previous version of the Adrenaline's and they were far more comfortable than these.

I bought these sneakers thinking they would perform well at my job since I stand for 12 hours a day. I previously used a pair of Brooks Ghost 12 for three years and my feet did not hurt after working in them for 12 hours. Unfortunately, these sneakers did not meet my standards. My feet start to hurt about 4 hours into my shift. Being that I'm a healthcare worker, I need sneakers that are comfortable and supportive for my shift. I thought these were it, but it isn't. It also doesn't help that these sneakers are Medium instead of regular. I hope to return these sneakers as I can not use them.

GTS 22 fits me larger than my previous "same size" pair so for that reason I am not enjoying them.

I had to return these. I have a pair of 21s and a pair of 23s - both of which I love. But the 22s seem to have more of an arched heal that immediately gave me blisters. But I was very happy with the return policy and the customer service I received. My refund was prompt.

I wanted to love these shoes, but they are terrible! Extremely stiff with no give even after a few wears. I have a normal arch and it started to feel like I was getting plantar fasciitis with each step. Funny thing is that the insoles did feel supportive and cushioned. The shoe laces are extremely short that you can barely tie them up properly. I exchanged these within 2 weeks of purchase and ended up getting the Ghost 15. Much better choice than these Adrenalines.

I really wanted to like this shoe and bought them to replace my Ghosts. The sizing feels big, the support feels stiff, and your toes slip forward in the shoe and seem to catch on the inside seam. These shoes may be okay for everyday wear but not for walking miles a day which is what I purchased them for. Disappointed.

I love Brooks and have always been happy with their shoes, but this one is cheaply made. I don't get it. I bought a pair of Asics from Target for $50 with better quality materials!

The design has changed and my feet have been hurting more than not. Not for sure what changed but they need to go back to the 22.

Why did they change the 19/20 version? It wasn't broken! I ordered the 22s in hopes that they would feel as comfortable as the 20s I ordered during quarantine. They are not nearly as soft and cloud like as they used to be. What a huge disappointment. They are hard. Also it seems like they changed the sizing around the toe area because I ordered a half a size bigger than I ordered with the 20s. My toes are poking out. The heels are not soft either, they dig in. What a huge bummer. I tried the ghost 15 and those were awful too. Looks like I'll be looking into a different brand.

I started my Brooks journey with 2 pairs of Dyad 8. Super Great shoe, comfort and support. Dyad 8 is no longer in production. I have tried Adrenaline 22 GTS, Dyad 11 and Adrenaline GTX XX and within 3 weeks, my knees became unstable. I currently have 7 pairs of Brooks, but nothing has worked like Dyad 8. What shoe would be most comparable to Dyad 8.

I have been wearing different versions of the Adrenaline sneaker for years now, and this is the first time I did not like the sneaker. I would suggest sticking with the 21 or a completely different shoe. The GTS 22 feels a bit more roomy then the 21 version, and does not have the same amount of comfort or cushion.

These shoes run very narrow. I ordered a half size up and in medium width. Toes were cramped. Tried to order another half size up or in wide width and they were sold out. I need a pair just walking shoes, I have many hiking shoes with tread and don't want to wear these down

The soles started peeling after a week of wearing them at my workplace. Never wet and never on the road. Very disappointed
