Great show except that Brooks obviously chose to use subpar materials in making these. Loved the 19s and 20s but the Adrenaline GTS 22 is hot garbage. Quality has dropped dramatically. After 4 months of of low impact wear (no running at all!) The fabric has worn through and there are multiple holes around the top edge of the heel simply from putting on the shoes (I assume). Additionally the bottom of one shoe has multiple loose rubber pads and a small chunk of rubber missing from another spot. The quality is abhorrent and a slap in the face to loyal customers who have come to trust the Brooks name. It's wild that I have a pair of Adrenaline GTS 20s (more than a year old) and a pair of Ghost 12s (prob close to 2 years old), both of which I put significantly more use and abuse into than these garbage 22s, and neither has a single hole or loose pieces, despite being past their prime(s).
I fully intend to pursue a refund or exchange from Brooks. And I'm in the process of looking for a new go-to brand and shoe. Brooks cannot be trusted with your hard earned money. They've clearly decided short term profits are more important than the guaranteed income that would have come from untold future purchases made by loyal customers.
Buyer beware!

Best Adrenalin GTS I’ve had. Laces are a little short. Wish Brooks would make the Wides available in all the colors. Seem to limit to the more bland colors.Great support, Felt great right out of the box. they feel better than my 21’s that I loved.

This is the second pair of Adrenaline's for me and the 22's are just as comfortable as the 19's I wore out. I put arch support inserts in them since I have a rather high arch and off I went for my daily 4.5 mile walk. Very comfortable right out of the box - no issues other than the laces are a little short.

Laces are too short, tongue is also too short. The area that comes up where laces are is not high enough and makes the space between the two sides appear too wide apart.

Brooks never disappoint. The adrenaline series is my go to running shoe for comfort and stability.
The only draw back I have is they went with the flat laces which also appear shorter in length, which makes for them to come untied more frequently.
Also no real fun colors like previously, but that is just a personal preference.

I really want to LOVE these shoes but they just don't last long enough for me. They are super comfy but I'm not a strict runner. I play racquetball, walk, jog and play recreational basketball all in these Brooks and they just don't hold up to the other activities. These last pair lasted 75 days before the top mesh separated from the bottom sole. Basically the shoe fell apart. :( I do maybe 3 miles a day so 225 miles on these shoes.. I feel like there should be some more life in them for 150 bucks. You can see in the picture, these are the second pair of Brooks I tried with. Both lasted under 3 months. Oh well. I have to try something that is more cross fit I guess.

My husband loves these shoes! He wears size 15 which are hard to find. He’s been wearing Brooks for years because he’s always happy with the fit, arch support, and style. This particular shoe has beautiful, brilliant colors which we both like. Excellent purchase!

These shoes are a perfect fit and have great support. I have a pair of GTS 21’s and I prefer the 22 pair. They feel better and look better.

The best Adrenaline ever
The midsole hugs the foot
New forefoot allows for more comfort and control
The sole is a dream of comfort and support

Fit is great true to size. Initially felt very comfortable, but after several hours on my feet just in daily routine starting experiencing discomfort in the heel area. Need to try another Brook’s style.

I've bought the Brooks Adrenaline GTS model of running shoe for working out, running, and doing HIIT workouts for years. Even before doing HIIT workouts 3-4 years ago, I had bought these over and over for over 15+ years since they fit my feet right and the comfort is amazing. I just keep going back to what works and simply upgrade to the newest version. Brooks makes a variety of models and my recommendation is to go to a store that specializes in running and let the in-store experts tell you which Brooks model is right for you.

Burned through the bottoms of my last pair that I have had for 2.5 months. I am not just hard on sneakers they are made very cheaply. Most sneakers now are not made to last. These feel only slightly wider than the 11.5 and not really any longer. Very comfortable and I do like them.

We've been wearing Brooks for years, and these shoes fit perfectly and we got the color choice we wanted instead of getting what was left over at the Sporting Goods Store.

This is my second pair of Brooks Adrenalin 22's. I have crazy wide and flat feet, and so good fitting shoes are hard to find. These work great for me.

I am a big guy. This is the best and most stable shoe I have found. I am able to walk for 30-40 minutes a day without discomfort. This is the second pair I have gotten from Zappos. Ordering and delivery could not be easier. Highly recommend the shoe and the Zappos ordering and deliver system!!

This is my second pair of Adrenalines, after a of couple years of hiking in my first pair. These are fabulously comfortable. I'm a 65-year-old woman with large feet that are considerably wider in the front. Many 2E shoes are not quite wide enough for me. But these are perfect right out of the box. I've seen some reviews saying the laces aren't long enough, but they're long enough on mine.

I switched brands and went to Brooks. Absolutely no comparison. Brooks hands down feel amazing! I now have 2 pair! Comfortable and they dont hurt my feet. Just had knee surgery and love them.

Love the BrooGTS. Get a better fit with the xtra wide (4E). Hard to come by in all the colors. Seems to be offered in the basic blacks & greys.

My Old Brooks were getting tired after about 15 years. I got these 22's and my Arch pain went away rapidly and shin splints are going away slowly but noticeably. This will be my 3rd pare of Brooks and I see no reason to try anything else.

I really like my Brooks but I do feel they need a better support. The 22 feel hard when my old ones felt like they conformed to my feet and felt more supported. I also didn't like the colors of the 22. They need to do more with black sides instead of white.

Love these Brooks! I got 5 months of solid everyday use out of them! And I usually replace my work shoes every 3 months since I stand on my feet all day for a living.
