Customer Reviews Brooks Adrenaline GTS 23

Unfortunately, the sole is coming unglued with just a couple of times wearing them. I'm disappointed.

I got these for my wife - as she (I) have been in Brooks for a couple of decades. This particular shoe is fine. But, the quality and durability of materials are substandard. My wife wears these for walking and after just 3 walks - 6 miles, the inside of heal began to look worn. Fabric pilled. We figured that this will only last 3 months and look like 1-2 year old shoe then. Not sure what Brooks is doing - but, it appears that the bean-counters at Berkshire are making sure shoes don't last and are made as cheaply as possible. For the price, they are a poor value. We have both investigated the Hokas. I've already traded my Beasts for Gaviota 4s and now 5s - and what a difference. My wife likes the fit of the Adrenalines - but I'm close to converting her as well since paying a bill and half for a shoe should get you more than what we experienced.... Sorry, but I gave you 3-4 pairs to turn things around - after wearing over 60 pairs of beasts (and one Adrenaline GTS 22 - which I promptly returned). My wife, well over 20 pairs...You can't say we were not die-hards. We've always paid for performance and you delivered until a couple years ago...

I've been wearing Adrenaline for close to 10 years. Within two days of wearing these I developed plantar fasciitis. I've been having pain and sleeping in braces for 4 months trying to fix what two days of wearing these terrible shoes did. I don't think I will ever trust Adrenalines in the future.

I love Brooks and hate to leave a bad review, but these were extremely uncomfortable for me. I've been wearing shoes from their Ghost line for years and love them. I took a chance on the Adrenaline GTS 22, since they were on sale for Black Friday. I've always worn a 9 Wide in Ghost, and I ordered the same size in these. They don't feel like a true wide; it's too narrow for me. I was hoping it was a matter of breaking them in, but it's just too painful. I have already initiated a return/refund, and will order the Ghost shoes. (I usually just buy them from a local running store by the way, but there are more color options online it seems. This was my first time buying direct.) Thank you for your willingness to accept the return, Brooks! Appreciate your company.

Least comfortable Brooks I have ever owned. I hoped after a few month of use they would break in and feel more comfortable -unfortunately this is not the case. The arch support is awful and my feet ache after each use.

Least comfortable Brooks I have ever owned. They are so ridged around my foot and the arch support is minimal. I have owned several versions of this shoe and loved them. This one seems cheaply made.

they're comfortable and the fit is nice but the quality is awful and they don't last at all. I've run 50 treadmill miles in these and the heel collar is broken down w/ the sharp insides of the shoe irritating my Achilles. The tread is peeling away from the sole a bit in places as well. These have never been worn outside of the gym. not worth the price when they've lasted for about 1 month of wear.

I always get a 9.5N in Ghost but thought I would try the Adrenaline. I couldn't believe the difference they were so wide around my ankle, so I'm going back to Ghost. These are not good for someone with a narrow heel.

Missed the mark. I've been an adrenaline wearing fan for many years. They are my absolute favorite. I just put on my new 23s, I read the reviews, but thought I best try them for myself. Could they have really missed the mark on these? Well, in short yes! I need the cushion and support for my rolling ankles and I do not have it in these shoes. I felt the difference as soon as I laces them and put them on. Such a disappointment as I love the new colors. Going to order more of the 22s for the time being as I go through shoes every few months and cannot wait an entire year for new ones to come out. I will be returning these for sure.

I run an average of 20 miles per week, with about 75% being road/sidewalk and 25% trails. I have used Brooks Adrenalines for years. I am pretty disappointed with the GTS 23. For some reason they feel flat as a pancake, and I have developed leg pain, especially in the soleus from wearing them. I always like to buy the newest version of the Adrenaline because of advancements in technology, but this seems like a step backward.

I'm sending them back tomorrow. I should have bought a wide because of a bunion on my rt foot . Lesson learned

No support. I have to see a chiropractor to get adjusted because my heels started hurting so bad. I'm walking sideways. This is my third pair and these are awful. No cushion, no nothing. I do not recommend these. They are so hard

Not comfortable at all. I wore them for less than 3 miles and my Achilles started to hurt and my ankles. Will never buy again.

Very uncomfortable. I've been an adrenaline wearer for years and whatever they have changed with this model is not working. As soon as I put them on and took a step I knew they would be returned

I am a Registered Nurse in a very busy ER. Shoes were not comfortable. Hurt my feet all night. I have plantar facitis, finding great shoes that are comfortable is hard for me. I want to try the Glycerin GTS...

Within 10 mins of putting shoes on in the house my feet began to hurt in time. I returned them next day

I'm pretty sure I received a defective pair. I walked 5 miles each day for a week. By the end of the week I had plantars fasciitis I've worn Brooks Adrenaline for a couple years and love them This pair must have had a defect.

The shoes have a very loud squeak with every step. Will return.

Honestly cannot believe how poor the support is in these shoes. I feel like I'm walking on cardboard and my feet haven't hurt this badly in a long time. I will be returning these and shopping for another shoe.

These shoes were not for me. I think I did the quiz wrong but I couldn't last a mile they hurt my feet so badly. I don't have very high arches and these shoes have a lot of support, basically making it feel like I was running on a golf ball. I switched to the ghosts and those are amazing! I appreciated the easy return process and a new suggestion. My husband has higher arches and found these to be very comfortable for him, so if that describes you, these will likely work well.

These shoes are terrible and they wear out super fast. I've had them for a month and I feel like I'm walking on concrete with bare feet. They are not worth the money.

Not even remotely what you may know of the adrenaline gts line. I hate the way the knew model is as it feels cheap and not cushiony like the old. Feels like got cheaper and cheaper. So upset as these were all I could wear. Please bring back the old

I buy a brooks ghost gts 15 they are so beautiful and confortable.!!! Went to a cruise and I putting on because we are so ready to go on the Excursion by the beach ,so before that went to the restaurant to eat breakfast before we went to the excursion is carpet and floor the soonest I step on the floor i fallout really bad went to the medic on the ship because I'm not able to walk and the pain was 10 out of 10 stay on the room allday whit ice and taking pills . never think it was the shoes until the next day still on a lot of pain but think I'm not ruin my cruise so I putting on my shoes brooks again and the same thing happen again I fall down again so go back to my room again and I change shoes and unfortunately this BROOKS GHOST almost take my life away I'm here still with a lot of pain I'm not sure wen I'm going to get better.!! Please remove this BROOKS GHOST From the market . I'm not recommend this at all . I'm not a happy costumer.

I have been wearing Brooks Adrenalines for over 10 years and they have always lasted. I bought the new Adrenalines and after wearing them three times, the sole came apart in three areas. I'm definitely not satisfied with the quality!

I have completed 120+ marathons and 90% were run with the trusty Adrenaline shoe. I am unsure what is going on with the product, recycled materials etc. but this is the worst running shoe I have ever run in. It is lightweight, has no support and no cushioning on the bottom of the shoe. I may as well take up barefoot running since I can feel the road under my shoe on the first run in new shoes. I am also very sad that I donated my Adrenaline 22's.
