Placed order in store. Never received order confirmation until shipping notification received by email. Received in not only a damaged envelope but also the sneakers were in a very damaged box if you could even called it a box. Bringing it to store that i bought it in to show the lack of professionalism. Hopefully the photos and video will be posted with this review
Walked 21km on the 21st March for Tour de Cure. Bought myself my first pair of Brooks Adrenalin GTS 23. I loved them.There was plenty of support and cushioning. Ended the walk with no pain in my feet. loved my Brookes.
I wear these every day to work and to hike in. Comfortable and look nice. Very durable. Love the all black.
Fast, great service. I have been buying them for years. Best shoe ever!
The best shoes ever! Very stylish looking, 100% comfortable.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like that these running shoes have a lower side profile (depth of sole) and seem less bulky than most other running shoes on the market these days. They are very supportive with a firm sole, which make running a few miles very comfortable. I found they were a bit heavier and stiffer than other shoes I use for just walking. Overall, I like that these running shoes are supportive for mid-long distance running while looking sleek as well. I would wear these for running, walking, or cross training. I’ve also been impressed with the durability of the materials, as they don’t seem to show dirt or stains easily. Excited to run many miles in these shoes!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes are worth every penny! I purchased a pair of these for a 50km trek I participated in for the heart foundation, not expecting them to hold their game afterwards but let me tell you I put them through the wash, I then did a 35km fundraiser walk in them aswell... and that's not all! I wear these shoes every day at work, I workout in them and I still cannot fault them. They are comfort plus and they hold their game. If you're looking for a solid shoe that will go the distance, these are the pick of them all.
I’ve been wearing a size 6 1/2 in the Brooks Adrenaline for 20 years and have never had any issues—until now. I initially ordered two pairs of the GTS 23 at the beginning of the year and loved them. However, when I recently ordered replacement pairs, I noticed a change in the toe box size. As soon as I put on the two new pairs, they felt too big, and I’d say they’re probably half a size larger than my previous pairs. It’s disappointing since I’ve always trusted Brooks for their consistent fit. I hope they reconsider the sizing adjustments because I truly love these shoes and would hate to have to find a replacement brand.
After knee surgery, coincidentally both my podiatrist and physio advised me to buy Brooks Adrenalins because of the sturdy nature of the shoes. This was over 15 years ago. They’re the only sneakers I’ve been buying ever since. The structural support of the shoes has allowed me to continue walking and exercising without causing further pain in both my knee and my feet. They are honestly the most comfortable and practical shoes for both work (on my feet all day) and exercising. I always have at least two pairs on the go at any one time. It’s worth investing in well structured, tried and tested shoes. Comfy feet are so essential to the overall wellbeing of your body.
It's hard to find women's running sneakers in my size, so I was initially very happy to find these. There were several color patterns to choose from and the shoes were offered in medium width instead of only wide, like other shoes. However, the shoes rubbed against my instep after a week (I'm flat-footed with thin feet and ankles) which luckily was solved with insoles. Now, less than 2 months after buying the shoes, the rubber on the sole is coming off. I run on sidewalks, paved roads, and treadmills - so nowhere with any particularly "rough" terrain that should cause this. I've worn Brooks for years (normally have to get men's) so I'm disappointed that these are falling apart so quickly.
