The are great. Comfortable, could use more padding for my feet. I typically buy ghost.

Brooks no longer gives longer shoelaces with the purchase of a shoe. With a WIDE shoe the 48" lace is much too short. Yes, they will send you a cheap replacement which is longer, but it's white, cheaply made and not up to Brooks standards.

This shoe would be 5 stars except that the shoelaces are too short. I lace them with a runner's loop for stability and that shortens the laces so much I can barely tie them.

I still like having the arch support and the guide rails like the previous model. This model however I think the last shoe lace hole is too far back it presses on the top of my foot when I lace it all the way up. Id loosen it but the laces are barely long enough. When I only lace to the second to last hole it seems too loose and I have lots of heal slippage and constant retying of shoes. And when tying it super tight I get pain on the top of my foot unlinked the adrenaline 22.

This is my 3rd or 4th pair of Adrenaline GTS. The GTS is super important for me as I am a moderate-severe over pronator. The GTS combined with the support already in the Adrenaline shoe is great for me. I only took a star off because the 'limited edition' colors, even when they first come out, never seem to be available in a D width. I replace my shoes every 3-6 months and love having a big color selection.

The shoelaces are too short, you spend a lot of money on these sneakers & then you have to spend more on getting longer shoelaces, have the right size shoelaces period!!!

I've worn Adrenalines for years. The GTS 23 seems slightly smaller (especially lengthwise) than the 22. I had to return them for a larger size. And it's not because my foot is bigger -- the 22s still fit.

I am a runner and loved the Adrenaline GTS 22 so I decided to give the 23 a try. The 23 shoe feels firmer particularly under the ball of the foot. There’s not much flexibility. I do think I’ll adapt but it’s not the same shoe. I always do a half size up in Brooks and this shoe is no exception.

The color and quality of the shoe was great! After wearing this narrow width a couple of times, I’m returning due to the fact that my heel slipped and the toe box was too narrow. The Brooks brand is fantastic - just doesn’t seem to fit my feet. Truly disappointed.

Great shoe but what's with the short little shoe laces? In what world can a grown person use these to tie their shoes?

I really like the look of these shoes. I originally ordered a size 7 (my normal size), which was too small. The size 7.5 was better, but it just did not have enough toe height for my upturned big toe. Too bad. I returned them.

I wear a 6.5 in a regular shoe. I can sometimes do a 6 with sandals. I figured a 7 in this shoe would allow for wearing a light sock. Nope. Had to exchange for a 7.5. Glad they have wide sizes. I wore my new 7.5 to the gym this morning, ran on the treadmill for a while and although I wish the arch support was better, they were comfortable, supportive shoe. Would recommend ordering up an entire size if you are planning to wear socks with these.

I use the runners knot to tie my shoes and the GTS22 laces are too short for this. Brooks customer service was prompt in sending me new laces but they are exactly the same size. I ended up pulling the laces from my very first pair of retired Brooks Adrenaline GTS14 and put them in the GTS22. I've noticed the laces have become shorter and of less quality with each year. Brooks needs to add about 4 inches back to their existing laces.

Nice material and they look okay. There were two things that made me return them. They were too tight in the width and my toes just touched the front of the shoe. The spring in them was comfortable. Seemed to be very supportive in the arch. I was looking for a different type of support but it didn’t work. I’ll go back to my Brooks Ghosts. At least I know they fit well. Too bad these were great in the arch.

I have Brooks Adrenaline GTS 22 and they fit/feel amazing. The GTS 23 model is extremely stiff and fits smaller than my former pair.

These don't fit my feet well. They're wide enough in the toe box, but I actually feel unsteady when wearing them. Keeping them only because New Balance has narrowed and changed the shape of their toe box, so no longer fits me, and I need shoes!

I really wanted to like these shoes but I swear they are different sizes, even though both are marked 10.5. The right one feels way too tight, while the left one is slightly too tight. The sole feels lumpy. I wanted a shoe without too much cushion, but these just don't feel right.

I always get this shoe in black but they were out so got the black with biscuit/cream which I thought was very cute. But when got the shoes by the sides right below ankle bone was over 1/4 inch shorter than my black ones so the support there was lacking and felt weird there. I measured it to be sure was lower and it was. Had to return them as didn't feel secure in them. Bummed because I need a new pair and now I don't have them and can't reorder the black. Guess will have to wait for the 24 version and hope for the best. These shoes are the only shoes I wear due to foot issues that they don't aggravate.

It too hard, not flexible. Ordered wide and it feels still narrow.

The GTS 23s are not as comfortable as the GTS 22s that I had. The 22s felt like they had more cushion.

Shoes were good in every way except that the inside was not as nicely padded as the same model (in pink) which I recently purchased.
Therefore I am returning these and ordering another pair in the hopes that the next pair will be nicely padded inside.

I am disappointed in these sneakers. I am Hoka fan and was told to try Brooks. While they have comfy foam inserts, there is absolutely no arch support. It feels like I am walking on flat ground. Not great if you have any kind of back issues. Very disappointed.

I've been wearing the Adrenaline for years. I liked the 22 model better. My foot doesn't seem to stay in the center of the shoe, causing my toe to rub. Also bothers my peroneal tendon right out of the box.
