I’ve bought at least 15 pairs of Brooks and have loved them all except this pair. I usually buy Ghost or Launch. These are terribly uncomfortable. I think the arch might be too high for me. Too bad because they’re nice looking and wide.

The toe box on the GTS 23 is narrower than the GTS 22. The GTS 23 hurts my big toe.

The shoe fit well but I need more arch support.

First of all, when I first started wearing these shoes I absolutely loved them. After only a couple months, the back of my shoes have been tearing from the bottom cushion and the front is falling apart. I love these shoes otherwise, but sad to see them fall about so quickly with only minor use.

Bought these looking for something that would help support my feet and possibly reduce pain but these have increased my heel pain pretty badly. I've been using these for at least two weeks and thought maybe they just needed to be broken in, but the heel pain hasn't gotten any better, in fact the heel pain was in my right foot as usual but now it's starting in the left too.

I love this shoe, but the colors this season are awful! I like colorful and exciting not drab and dull. Very disappointed in the selection.

Fit was great, however, these shoes would not stop squeaking!

I really wish they would go back to the old model before the GTS . A small thing I know, but I don't like the flat laces at all among other things.

Been wearing Adrenaline GTS for years. The 22's were great. What did they do to the 23's? Now I have to search!!!

Horrible shoe and so uncomfortable. Gave me shin splints while running. I’m going to stick to my Hoka Clifton 9’s.

feels cheap - not the same as the past years Adrenaline Brooks I've had- have 6 other pairs from past years
probably never wear- should have sent back- bought wide and still tight, does not have comfort as other Brooks

So disappointed in these shoes. After trusting Brooks for many years I was confident these would be amazing shoes while travelling in Europe for 3 months. NOT!!! Foot pain was excruciating. Due to luggage constraints tossed them out . Adrenaline GTS 23 is a never again for me.

I have bought two pairs of this exact shoe and the tread starting separating from the shoe only a month after I started wearing them. I have always bought Brooks shoes to wear because I am a teacher and on my feet all day. This has been such a disappointment. I returned my first pair and they promptly replaced them. Then it happened again! Not sure if I will purchase these again.

I have worn Adrenaline GTS since the 2017 version or possibly earlier. The '23 are the most uncomfortable I've tried. The arch support only feels like it is under the ankle to mid-foot, and not much towards the big toe. This makes the big toe joint painful for me. The cushioning under the toes is also much stiffer than previous versions. I am almost 50 and jogging 2-3 miles several times a week. I haven't been able to stand more than a couple hours in these new shoes, let alone jog.

Beautiful shoes but very uncomfortable and not couisheny at all!! the toe box is narrower and the heels cups makes my heels sore. I change the indole to the couisheny one to make it softer . It was my first Brooks purchase so move back to ASICS again, no more Brooks

I have wore Brooks adrenaline for many years thru all the little changes they put them through for the new model every year. These 2023 shoes are terrible. They are looser on my feet and I cannot get them tight. I believe they have given me a case of mild plantar fascitis on my left foot because they are not holding my arch tight. I sent them to the trash today and got out a new pair from last year (22 version) that I had been saving. I hope this cures the pain in my heel. I wish Brooks would just leave the design alone.

I generally order 2 pairs a year of this athletic shoe in various colors, but most always the Adrenaline model. My husband ordered the Ghost model and it was the answer to his foot issue and was recommended by our podiatrist

Only Brooks for athletic wear; Naot, Keen, Dansko in all kinds of styles

Brooks usually come through for me in sizing as these did. Although this sneaker did have some support, I switched out the insole for more arch support and general foot support. Bought the black/white design and really enjoy it. Now have supportive shoes for my arthritic feet and ankles.

Very cute black/white graphic, but still needed a comfortable walking shoe. Fit my size, decent arch support but will probably switch out for my Pinnacle Lows. Brooks Adrenalines do help my overpronation issue.
