[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are great running shoes! I go on daily runs and these shoes are very comfortable and provide great support for my feet and ankles. I sometimes get knee pain from running but I haven’t experienced any pain since I started wearing these shoes. They are extremely lightweight so I feel like I am flying when I run in these. They are also great for walks and I’ve worn them to run errands as well. These shoes have a good amount of cushioning so I am able to wear them all day long without my feet hurting. I like the design as well and how the shoes look sleek and not bulky. I’m really impressed with the comfort and quality of these sneakers!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Whether you are a runner, athlete, or just someone who likes to be active and stay in shape, this is an excellent sneaker. The fit is true to size with a soft texture, yet firm fit - they are extremely comfortable to run in or to just wear for everyday activities. What I love most about the sneaker is the versatility of it, as well as the design. My wife says I really upped my game with the stylishness of the sneaker. My only nitpicky constructive criticism is that I’m not a fan of the white area around the lower part of the sneaker - looks a little bit too thick for my liking, but again, I’m being picky. This is a great sneaker.
I'm a senior, I don't run anymore but that doesn't mean the Adrenaline GTS 23's aren't for me. These shoes provide the support, stability and comfort that's important to me. They're light weight, feel great and look great, but the support is most important to me in an age where it seems everyone values feeling like they are walking on pillows way too much and buy shoes with very little lateral support. I have 3 dogs that I walk and sometimes that creates a misstep. The support these shoes provide in instances like that fends off that dreaded ankle roll. Walking on hard surfaces or on the trails, these are great shoes.
Id give these shoes a 4.8 outta 5. These are almost perfect. I had 10.5 d widths they lasted me about 10-12 mnths. I put a ton of miles on them my first pair. Im actually a 10.5 2 e. Width i have plantar fasciitis in my left foot and have to periodically get injections. I have high arches n a slightly wide foot plus i had a left heel fracture some 14 yrs ago. I tried the 24’s gts’s love the bottom actually support slightly better but they feel a tad small but maybe ill still give em a try later. Scared to spend money on them n wondering if a lil small or hurt my feet but i do love Brooks! I highly recommend Brooks!
I don't own nor have I owned a pair of white shoes in over 20 years. I ordered these based off of them clearly being gray. They showed up today and are white. Even brooks website shows an honest representation of the color (found out after receiving) so why can't rei represent them properly? I'm pretty disappointed to say the least. I have not put them on my feet since I have ZERO intentions of wearing a white shoe so this review is not based off of the shoe itself.
For the price you would think they would last a few months, wore for about 4 weeks and the sole’s are worn out. I am not running only walking inside a building for work so the surface is tile floors and they are shot. Is a-shame my first impression was I finally found a comfortable walking shoe but I am back looking for something else.
Got back into running this year and by the end of 2024 was very overdue to replace my 2010 Adrenaline GTS 7!! And what do I find? A great pair of bright yellow Adrenaline GTS 23! Same size, same fit, and they have been so comfortable to run in after a short time breaking them in! 🏃💨
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a long distance runner who runs 5+ miles everyday. In terms of feet size, I am originally 10.5 wide but because I didn't have a wide option when testing the shoe, I ordered one size up to size 11. However, even with the size 11 shoe, the tightness really bothered my feet after running a few minutes. So if you have wide feet and are not able to get a wide shoe option, then I strongly suggest you go 2 sizes up as opposed to 1 size up. Looks wise, it's not too flashy but I still feel it's a cool look and I love the color. The shoe has a good arch and cushioning so the soles of my feet felt very comfortable when walking. My feet just didn't feel great after the first few miles for the reasons mentioned above.
I think my first pair of Adrenalines were version 6. I’ve take a few diversions over the years, but I always come back to the Adrenalines. The amount of cushion is great, and the wide sizes are appreciated. It seems like the sole may not be lasting as long in the last two versions, but I can’t confirm that. One thing that I really appreciate is that they finally started putting longer laces on them in the last version. It may seem like a little thing, but they were so short on previous versions that I always had to replace them. One improvement to that would be a lace that doesn’t slip out of the know so easily. But it’s a minor annoyance.
The shoes are comfy and I'm enjoying wearing them so far. I bought a couple colors that they didn't have on the shelf at REI. The colors that were in the photos on the REI website were WAY off from that the true color is. The TRUE color looks bar closer to what the Brooks website has. I returned the first pair because the color was way off (tan looking one)... Decided to keep the second one despite my initial inclination to return them too.. but I don't want to be "that guy"... Lesson learned... Judge colors off the manufacturer's website not REI or other vendors.
