Customer Reviews Brooks Adrenaline GTS 23

The reviews that say they lost their quality were honest. The GTS adrenaline used to be super comfy but this version felt like walking in cardboard shoes. I switched to glycerin stealth and those are much better.

I'm not sure how these can be classified as a "more cushioning" shoe. I try to stand most of the day at work (desk job) and I bought these as we are required to have plain black shoes and these were the only style in stock. I figured since they're Brooks and are classified as a cushion shoe they would work. My mistake! I can only stand for maybe an hour at the most before I need to sit and rest my legs and feet. These things are so hard! It feels like I'm standing on concrete! They are less comfortable than the old, worn out Under Armour shoes I bought them to replace! To be clear, I do not run in these, I run in Glycerine, but these are so horrible for just walking around in, I couldn't even imagine running in them.

I was so upset they did not work out. I had done some research before buying. I have a bunion and it killed my foot with pain

This was my first pair of Brooks. I bought these last year, and tried my best to break them in. I wanted these shoes to work for me because every nurse I work with swears by this brand. I am a nurse, as well, and I want to find a good shoe for my tired feet. Now, about the shoe; These shoes make me walk slower, and stiffer. The shoe itself is extremely stiff, and doesn't allow natural movement for bending/squating. These shoes feel like they are trying to correct something I don't have a problem with. With that being said, because I've worn them for a year, they have changed how I walk/stand/squat. Even when I wear other shoes, my body feels like it still needs to compensate for these shoes. I got a lot of compliments on the appearance of the shoe, but that's the only thing I can say as a positive. I also want to let others know the fit of this shoe is awful. I ordered my correct size, but somehow the shoe feels too small, and too big at the same time. How is that even possible?! Idk, but if you buy this shoe, you'll find out.

The back part of the heel jets out too much. It can throw you forward and jet you down the stair step. I have stair s step with treads, that are deeper than most step. I almost fell down a flight of stairs.

Absolutely tore up my Achilles after one moderate walk. Already sent them back (very easy returns, so thank you).

The backs of the heels dig into my leg where my heel meets my leg and gave me a blister that bled

I???ve wore adrenaline???s before so was happy to get these on sale. But sadly returned them. They were more stiff than the ones I previously had and there was a hard piece in the heel of the sneaker that kept rubbing against my skin. It was causing a blister even with my socks on. So returned and went with the glycerins.

Ordered these for years . Very uncomfortable and not as supportive and cushioned as previous years. Very disappointing since it's hard to find the perfect shoes with my flat feet. Been wearing brooks for over ten years. Now I have no idea where to go from here

Not as comfortable as I thought. Definitely not good for standing for longer period. For that, I think Hoka is the best

Cute shoes but not the most comfortable and I've only had them for 2 weeks and the bottom tread is peeling off!

I usually buy Brooks Ghost, but I loved the purple color-way. I use these primarily for walking. Immediately, I noticed the back support was too high. I got non-stop blisters. The shoes were okay for 2-4 miles, but any longer and my heel would be bleeding.

I am very upset about the Adrenaline 23. I have the Adrenaline 22 and I think the 22 is wider than the 23. The 23 hurts my bunion. I am trying to avoid surgery which will lay me up for 6 months. I wore the 23 on a 5 mile walk and my foot was so sore. I honestly think the 23 9 2E is narrower in toe box than my 22. I can see the bunion clearly on the 23 but not the 22.

They have only been worn a mouth and the sole is pealing off already.

I was disappointed by fit. I would like to see more wide widths in a 6 1/2.

I purchased 2 pairs of the Adrenaline GTS22 Women's Running shoe. I will be returning the second pair unworn next week. I was unable to buy the Ghost not available in my size. I find these shoes stiff and uncomfortable. I have been wearing them for two weeks thinking they just had to break in, unfortunately shoes still uncomfortable and stiff.

They look nice. They also look like someone already wore them and then you sent them to me. I prefer new shoes when I pay new shoe prices.

we have ordered many pair of these and this is the first time they are not the width I ordered. Were these sold before and resold to me stretched out?

I have had the brooks ghost sneakers in the past and they were great. I thought I'd give these a try and it has been 3 weeks and I thought I just needed to break them in but my arches hurt and my feet ache when I wear them so I ordered a new pair of the ghost sneakers. Super bummed.

Extremely stiff and uncomfortable. Almost felt injured after wearing them a few days.

I got a size larger than I need because that's what I've done with my last two pair of Brooks. This shoe is way too tight in every way. Short around the ankle, tight toe box, makes my feet burn just wearing them around the house. Miserable. Quality of Brooks has gone way down!

I've been a loyal Brooks buyer for 10 years. I bought this in my usual size for Black Friday and it's way, way too small. I adjusted the laces and figured I would just need to break them in, so I bought thin athletic socks and it fits a little better. But now, the top of my left foot rubs the top of the shoe due to a subtle manufacturing error and after a few miles of running, it gave me unbearable pain. So frustrating!

I've been wearing the Adrenalines for years. The 22 was the first version I did not care for. I bought these hoping they would be an improvement, but they were a big let down. Much like the 22s the soles are stiff, the cushion does not feel soft, and there is zero energy return, like i might as well be running barefoot. The heel cup feels oddly high compared to previous versions, putting my foot in a weird position instead of having a normal heel-toe drop. I've run in them a few times but it makes my plantar fasciitis flare up immediately, which was never an issue with the 21 and prior. I also notice a lot of pain in other parts of my legs and hips when I wear these that I don't experience in other shoes. The only improvement over the 22 is the shoelaces, but the bar was pretty low there. Please let the 24 be more like the older versions, I need my favorite running shoe back!

Fit is completely different, and not in a good way, from the Adrenaline GTS 21. I have bought the adrenaline almost every year since the 11 edition. Bought my usual 11 wide and can't get my foot in. Will be returning to try the newer model.

I will never purchase shoes online again. These shoes hurt my feet as they are stiff. I'm taking out the insoles to see if it helps. Very disappointing.
