Bully But Comfortable

Meh. Decades long runner of the Ravenna and then the launch GTS and decided to give these a try. Next to my Lauch GTS, they are a lot more shoe and I prefer a lightweight but supportive ride. I have worn them out as far as a 5 mile run but I am not excited to wear them.

I am a loyal Brooks Adrenaline fan and loved the idea of the water protection from these shoes but they gave my toes such bad blisters. I’ve had 50+ pairs of Adrenalines before and these are the first ones I’ve actually chosen to return. Not a fan, went to a local running store for non GTX version.

Definitely Size Up!

These are smaller and tighter than any other pair of Brooks I have ever bought which is over a dozen I’m sure. I currently have 3 other pairs that I haven’t completely worn out yet including a pair of regular Adrenaline GTS 23s all size 6 and fit great but these are too small. I feel gaslit. I kept wearing them for just 1 hour at a time because my feet would fall asleep. I loosened the strings, I switched to thinner socks, I clipped my toenails down to nothing and then thought maybe my feet have grown for the first time in 20 years but I went to a store yesterday and tried on several pairs of different styles and the 6s all fit. I kept trying to make these work because I have been buying size 6 Brooks for years but it’s not me, it’s the shoes.

I have always worn a size 8.5 however this particular shoe ran small. I love Adrenaline but not this one. The company needs to check what happened.

Extremely Disappointed

These shoes hurt my feet. This is my 3rd pair of Adrenalines, and something's changed. I've always worn a size 8, but I sized up to an 8.5 after reading the reviews. They still feel small and extremely uncomfortable. I'm very disappointed.
