This is the most uncomfortable pair of sneakers I have ever owned. The sole is incredibly hard and offers little support. At first I thought it was just me because I have had many pairs of Brooks, so I wore them. Upon further wear at work they also hurt the top of my foot! I’ve never had this issue with sneakers. I really don’t understand all the positive reviews on these. They are incredibly uncomfortable.

It's a nice shoe but runs huge! I compared it to my GTS 22 and it's almost a half inch longer. The B width is actually probably a wide and the toe box makes it seem like a clown shoe. I also don't like the new mesh sock like fabric. I would wear through that in about 10 runs. I know you test these shoes but do you compare them to previous models. It got sent back without wearing.

They are so uncomfortable to me. They are like bricks. Not soft support at all. I wanted firm but cushy. I don't think I ordered the right style because my friends and acquaintances love theirs. Ghost is what I should have tried, maybe?? The box is gone so I'll try to sell them.

My Podiatrist recommended New Balance. Unfortunately the ones I want are out of stock with no availability date given. So I tried these and as I feared they were very narrow in the forefoot even though it's marketed as a 4E. It did not feel comfortable. Returning and waiting for the New Balance that I've bought for several years.

One of the very few pairs of Brooks that I did not like. I have worn Brooks for several years and usually stick to the Ghost style but thought I would try a different one for a change. These did not work for me. They lacked the cushioning I'm used to in a Brooks and that was my major issue with them.

I have been wearing the Brooks Adrenaline for several years. This new version - the GTS 23 - causes my feet to hurt. I have flat feet and the Brooks Adrenaline has always provided support for over-pronation. I have always felt like I was wearing clouds on my feet - completely supported with no discomfort. This new version is different. I'm very disappointed.

I need support shoes for pronation and I also currently have plantar fasciitis. The adrenaline 23 is MUCH different than the 22. I love the 22; they're the only shoes that don't give me foot pain. The 23 made my feet hurt all day and they were sore after I took them off. The arch support is not centered on my arch and the shoe just doesn't feel natural at all.

I probably should've checked reviews first. This is my first Brooks purchase but it seems like the adrenaline line fell short on the 23 edition. The insoles in the shoes are stiff and the toe box more narrow than expected for a wide. It's also shorter than most of my 6.5 shoes in general.

There is a piece of cloth in the front of the sneaker that is flapping up. I'd like to exchange them.

Brooks is my go to when I shop for trainers/walking shoes. This style did not work for me. They had very little cushioning and I found them to be uncomfortable overall.

Not worth the price. I replaced my pair of ghost 14s with these and I'm pretty unhappy with them. If I could return them I would. They hurt the outer portion of my feet and they are not even close to the comfortability of the ghost 14. Looks like Hoka is going to get my business now, I was hesitant because the price is so much higher than Brooks but at this point I need a shoe that's going to support my foot without pain.

I was so disappointed when my order came. It looked like these shoes had been worn before. The laces were stained, as well as one of the shoes. One of the shoes was completely smashed in the box. No one at Zappos had opened the box before they were sent out to me. Huge mistake. I am not sure if I will ever order from Zappos again. I was trying to remove this one star from the review but I was unable to. I felt I should've been compensated more than $20.00 which had to be used in 3 months which I wasn't. You dropped the ball on this one Zappos.

I have wore Brooks shoes for over 12 years. I have over 15 pairs of Brooks. I won't wear another brand. I'm so disappointed in the Adrenaline 23 that I purchased. They are on of the HARDEST most uncomfortable shoes that I've worn. If I hadn't worn them out of the house before I realized how bad they were, I would've returned them. I have them for 1 month, even bought inserts for them & still can't wear them very long. I hope this is not what the norm is on the way the Brooks shoes will fell now.

The Adrenaline has been a great shoe. Past tense. This version is considerably shorter in the toe and felt narrower in the wide. Def order a 1/2 size bigger or find an older GTS 22. Returned mine. Hoping the future Adrenaline GTS 24 gets it right!!

I have been a big Adrenaline GTS fan for a few years now. They have been my go-to for working out and everyday wear. Sadly, I was not impressed with the 23 version. The toe box is now narrower, and they feel shorter. I wear a 10W and you can see that they are visibly shorter and narrower than the Adrenaline GTS 22s I have when compared. :( I had to return them and try to get a 22 version. I hope that Brooks will change this model back for the 24 version.

I was very excited to find this shoe in blue and yellow. This is my second pair of Brooks. They are very comfortable but the quality is absolutely terrible. I got these end of December, I wear them maybe twice a week (if that) because I have several shoes I switch out with. They started coming apart in March. I even tried super gluing them because I love the blue/yellow (for a reason). I feel like I got almost no wear out of these before they started falling apart. I'm so disappointed. Shoes are expensive and I don't have the money to replace them.

These shoes have been worn. The original shoe packaging is not here. The shoes aren't even laced as normal. I didn't order used shoes and I'm very surprised that after all the years that I have been a Zappos customer, that you would do this.

Super cute and I wanted to love them. But they made my plantar fasciitis flare up worse than it's been in a year. Will keep looking for shoe that will help with that.

The fit fine, however the curled up toe box stresses my big toe. Most shoes seems to have incorporated this feature. I have yet to adapt so such an odd appearance of a shoe intentionally designed to flex the toes.

I miss the 22's! While I understand that there are some left in select colors, I am particular on the color shoes I wear. The 23's may be lighter, but the comfort is not there anymore. When I first got introduced to the 22's, I had spent so much time looking for the best shoe for me and after countless hours of searching and trying on, I found them. When I had to finally retire my last pair. I opted for the 23's because I loved the 22's so much. The width has changed and is no longer wide enough in the toe box, the heel is more narrow, and the shoe feels flat, like I am walking on a new flip flop. There is no contour for the heel and the arch support disappeared and yes I got wide because I wear wide. So sad that Brooks decided to go this route on the new model. I can only hope they bring the 22's back when they design the 24's. The support and pain relief I got from them was 110%. Absolutely amazing. Please bring them back!!

My last pair of Brooks were the Ghost 14. They fit my very slim foot perfectly. The Adrenaline GTS 23 are much wider. When I tightened the laces as much as possible the fabric puckered so clearly the shoes would not work for my daily 4 mile walks. The shoes look nice but unfortunately don't work for me. I am returning them. Thank you Zappos for your generous return policy.
