Customer Reviews Brooks Adrenaline GTS 23

I have only worn brooks adrenaline gts since 2018 due to bad back, frequent shin splints, etc. these shoes have been a game changer! UNTIL whatever was done to them for the 2023 style. Please go back to what they were, or I'm going to have to find a new brand.

Not comfortable at all. No where near as described as far as comfort goes.

I liked the design/colors offered with this shoe but it is not comfortable at all. I tried to give them a chance and break them in for several weeks but they're still not comfortable and cause more pain than my worn out Brooks. The Glycerins and Ghosts are much better and I am returning this one.

First off let me say that these shoes feel absolutely amazing when you put them on! The cushion does not disappoint. However, once I start running in them it feels as if they are too big as my feet slide upwards in them once I make contact with the ground. I can feel space between my ankle and the shoe I have to stop multiple times to tie the laces extra tight but even that doesn't help. I bought this pair in the same size as all of my other Adrenaline models that I've worn. I'm a long distance runner and I really wish they would stop changing the shoe each year :(

At first, these helped my Plantar Fascitis and I liked the wide fit/support but then they quickly started wearing down. Now they're hurting my feet to walk in, almost as bad as my old (cheaper) shoes.

I own a pair currently but wanted a second pair of the same as backup. This pair while exactly the same did not fit. They were too narrow and the heel did not have the same support. I don't know if it's because it's a new year and maybe a new manufacturer, but they did not fit correctly or feel like the older pair. But I had to return them.

I've worn Brooks for years. My most recent pair arrived approx a month ago. The cut on the left shoe under my ankle bone if off. I've been hoping it would break in but it hasn't and now I have a bone bruise. As you can imagine I am not happy with my new shoes because I can't wear them and my ankle hurts. Would you consider replacing them?

No where near as comfortable as my arial 20s. My knees hurt if in these and on my feet too long. Think I'll go back to th orher pair. Not a fan of these.

These run bigger than the Adrenaline 22. I ordered the exact same width/size as the 22s I have and these are to big.

Not a fan. I loved my Adrenaline GTS 18s and I still have them, because the 22 and 23 aren't doing it for me. The 23s are nice and lightweight (especially compared to the 18s) but I need to add a custom orthotic for bunions, and when I do, the shoe feels like I'm walking on a brick. It's so hard, and even a couple of miles makes my big toe ache. I'm not sure if the sole is stiffer than before, or what. Also, the foam outer sole on my right outer heel area got chewed up a bit already, and I have only had them for a month. I gave it a shot; wore them on trail and paved walks, through multiple airports, but they need to be sent back. Thank goodness for the 90 day return policy!

I'm a long time launch & glycerin user. The big toe gets crushed on the outside edge unlike other models. I'm disappointed as I loved everything else. I even upsized & the same thing

They are uncomfortable. Soles are hard. My heels hurt after wearing them. A previous pair I purchased was cushioned and comfortable but they were not available so I chose these. I will not repurchase this model.

I liked the style and colors available but there was not very much cushioning which is what I am looking for

I have the 22's for this style and had no issues. I'm disappointed that the 23's hurt my one foot. I can't figure out why. A lot of money for a pair of sneakers that I can't barely wear.

I am giving 2 stars for better color options in wide widths; however, even in wide widths, the toe box is considerably smaller than previous versions which I have worn for years! I ordered 2 pairs of my normal size (in wide widths which I have worn for years) and unfortunately the toe box is wayyyyy smaller than previous versions! Sorry Brooks, but they squished my toes terribly so I couldn't keep them and I had to switch to New Balance! Why, just why did you make the toe box so much more narrow this season when you finally had more color options in wide widths?? I am disappointed!

Have wore then less then a week and around the toes the fabric came off and see the netting of shoe

This version of the shoe in wide is not as wide as the prior version so my feet hurt wearing them. Also the shoelaces are slick and the ends easily slip out of the holes when lacing them. The shoe is otherwise nice and similar to the prior version.

They were stiff and hard, my feet hurt just after wearing them a couple of hours. I work in healthcare and am on my feet nonstop, the ghost 14 is what I had prior and they were great !

I have been wearing the Adrenaline GTS for about 10 years and this is the first time that I have had any big issues with the shoe. I have never had to have a "breaking in" period, but with this years model there is one. Also I find them very hard, they seem to not have any cushioning to me. I am very disappointed. I guess I better find some 22's to buy before they are gone.

I've been a loyal Adrenaline shoe fan since 2020 buying about 1-2 pairs a year. Unfortunately it seems like the design for the sole was changed this year and now my feet hurt for the first time ever wearing these shoes. The new white color is very cute so I'm bummed to have to return them.

I normally get Glycerin but decided to try Adrenaline since it was another recommended shoe based on the questionnaire. Definitely not as cushiony as the Glycerin and didn't feel like it supported my needs. I've gone back to Glycerin.

I am used to the ghost, and this shoe was not as comfortable as ghost is. I tried it out because ghost wide doesn't have the colors that other shoes have.
