Persons with X wide feet like pretty colors too. So tired of black, light gray and light gray. Then the accompanied color might just be navy/mauve, how boring, boring, boring.

I became a fan of Brooks when I bought Ghost 12 in 2020. I've tried to like the newer versions of Ghost but I always end up return it because they don't feel good on my feet so I decided to try Adrenaline GTS 23 based on the recommendations suitable for my foot type but they didn't live up to my expectations. Unfortunately I'm going to return them. Why would this company stop making a good shoe like Ghost 12 or any shoe that people like? It's mind boggling to me.

I have been a Brooks fan for quite some time. Typically I order 2 pair approximately every 6 months. However, the last two pair I have ordered I have not been as pleased with. They hurt my feet and ankles after having them on halfway to three quarters of my 8 hour shift. They did not do that in the past. Have you changed some of the materials for the manufacture? They do not seem as cushy and comfortable as in the past. As stated I used to order two pairs at a time especially some of the special edition ones! But I may have to look elsewhere. I know that weight gain can have an impact on these issues but I have actually lost weight. They just don't seem the same.

I have had these shoes for every one of the 23 and the last two (22 and 23) have a small toe box and I run narrow. I size up and yet now have toe issues. So sad, so sad! Brooks fix this issue! Bring back my shoe! This runner doesn't know what to do!

The Adrenaline GTS 23's comfort is subpar compared to the Adrenaline GTS 22. The heels are not as comfortable; after wearing them for a month, they feel worn. This shoe hurts my back and knees. I'm not sure what and why you changed from the Adrenaline GTS 22, but please bring them back. I have purchased a pair of GTS 22s from Brooks ReStart in the hope of finding comfort again.

I'm very upset that you refuse to carry a few more colors in women's extra wide shoes! I have two pair of gray brooks and now that I need another pair, I have to buy gray or black again while there are so many cool colors available to your other widths. Please offer a feminine color to women that need extra wide widths. I really don't want to change brands. Help!!!

My closet is filled with Brooks shoes, with the majority being Adrenaline since 2018. Adrenaline offers the support I need for my flat feet and over-pronation. Many of my friends have joined Adrenaline wearers over the years. I bought a pair of 2022 shoes on sale recently. Please go back to the better quality shoe strings. Material costs have gone up. Brooks fans would rather pay a slightly higher price than see a compromise in the quality of the materials used. Keep making the Adrenaline shoes the way you did for the 2020 shoes.

Brooks is the shoe brand I usually buy. I have wide feet and brooks has always been the most comfortable. But this shoe fits tighter than previous wide styles I have bought. I have to wear the thinnest socks I have.

I realize I need to get used to new shoes, but after a few hours of walking on my treadmill, my feet hurt. (It feels good to take off my shoes.) Also, these shoes seem to "slip" as I walk on my treadmill. I have never had this with any other pair of tennis shoes, so I am a little baffled. I am using a LifeSpan treadmill, so it is a quality treadmill. Thank you for listening!

I have been wearing Brooks Ghost for running for years. The new Ghost 15 runs long but not enough to go down a half size and it just overall felts different. Thought I’d try these but nope! Fit more like the old Ghosts but no matter how I laced them my heels kept slipping. They are too low at the side of the heel. I did order my usual size 7 and would say they are true to size.

Not sure why the 23 is so inferior to previous years. This shoe HURT MY FEET and caused a cramp in my calf. There are some bumps in the arch I could feel through my orthotics! There was also less cushioning on the ball of the foot. So disappointed. I will re-order the 22.

This was/is my first Brooks shoe. The size fits perfect. But my feet ache. This style is only medium cushioning, which I thought would be sufficient. I probably need to go for a shoe with thicker cushion.

I had great hope for these shoes -- very cute and well constructed. However, I was looking for shoes that would serve well on wet asphalt surfaces. Although Brooks are very "grippy" they still don't do well while walking on the wet pavement. In addition, I thought they had less cushioning than my other walking shoes. I used to wear Brooks in my younger years, but now I am older and really want to be certain I am sure-footed while walking. In every other way, the shoe fit well and looked great. Sadly, I sent them back.

I have two pair of the previous versions of this shoe and love them (except that they get holes in the toes!!) This model doesn't work at all. The sole is different and may be great for runner but I use them for walking. This model throws my weight forward due to the sharp bend in the sole at the ball of the foot. It makes me feel unstable.

Runs small, feels tight, I've bought the same size for 14 years, the 2023 Adrenaline GTS is too small.

THEY SQUEAK!!!! These shoes squeak on anything other than carpet. Totally unacceptable. Quite loud so if you like people to know you're coming or going or where you are....buy these. Returning.

I have been buying the Brooks Adrenalines for about 9 years, and this is definitely a model that fails to meet expectations. They weren't balanced properly and lacked the support I know and love in the "good versions" of this shoe. I am counting down the days to the release of the 24, and running in a competitor brand in the meantime.

Shoes fit well and are comfortable, but they will not stay tied! I ordered 2 pairs and the shoestrings in both pairs continuously work loose within minutes, even when I double tie them. Using this as a running shoe, may cause you to trip. You would think for this price, Brooks' would use a better quality shoestring.

I like the look of the shoe, but very different feel and fit from the GT 22. Not as comfortable as the GT 22. Sole is not as soft and the fit feels totally different. A little disappointing since this is my 6th pair of Brooks in the last few years.

I'm a regular buyer of the Adrenaline GTS and this last pair I purchased (orange color) have been the worst pair for sizing. I purchased a size up as usual and they have been the most uncomfortable for walking and have been rubbing my toes. I've never had it this bad with the sizing and toe space.
