Brooks Adrenaline GTS 22 Review | 2021 

Fantastic review!! I bought this because of your in depth description. Reached my personal best for a 10k the first time wearing these (42 mins) Thank you!

I use this shoe for work. Walking, standing etc. The best feeling and most comfortable I have ever owned. Expensive but worth it.

Your video was incredibly helpful; it not only improved my understanding of the shoes I use for ultramarathon training, but also reassured me about my choice of the Adrenaline GTS 22 model!

Really great, detailed review. Ordering mine tomorrow!

This was so helpful, thank you so much. I just found out after years of running, That I overpronate when I run. After running nearly 150 miles between January and February, I overstrained my right leg. The DR. told me I need to get a running shoe with arch support or as I am learning from this Video GTS. All the research I have done for the last few weeks was leaning me towards the Brooks 22 adrenaline. This video has convinced me. I like to support local MD. businesses, you can Consider me a new customer. 😊

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU .. YOU EXPLAIN THE DIFFERENCES IN THE BROOKS SHOE ...IVE SEARCHED FOR 3 WEEKS JUST TO FIND A VIDEO EXPLAINING THE DIFFERENCE !!!! HATS OFF TO YOU .. YOU GET IT ..YOU KNOW WHAT PEOPLE SEARCH TO FIND ..INFO DETAILS ON WHAT TYPE BROOKS EACH NAME DOES OMG I CANNOT SAY THANK YOU ENOUGH !!

Great detail thank you. I train for ultra marathons and have probably used 7 of these in various 18-21 models. They are perfect for me because of the 2E width option. I went to a running shop and did a gait analysis, and was recommended something else initially. I then was recommended these by an online running coach without any analysis and they were way better! thank you for your video now I now understand what I am wearing a lot better!!

I've run in a lot of different shoes over 35 years. The Adrenaline is my all time favorite. Great review once again.

You are such a good reviewer. Succinct. Thank you. Ive been using the saucony guide 14 and felt like there's to much posting. I'm considering this now.

Go-To-Support GTS stands for "Go-To-Support", which for Brooks Running means the use of medial and lateral GuideRails across their stability line. The Adrenaline series was one of the first high level stability shoes to move away from traditional posting a few versions ago, which was a shocking change at the time.Dec 11, 2021

Great video and well explained.I have been using the ghost for a couple of years with fit 4E and it’s super comfortable. Will go for Adrenaline 4E next.

8:11 the first shoe in brooks family that utilizes the guiderails system was Transcend 1, the successor to Trance 12 which was one of the better traditional stability shoes I've worn. Brooks marketed Transcend pretty heavily and told people that was the new age of stability, but the whole Transcend line just never felt good to me. On a side note, IMO the concept of stability guiderails was really first introduced by Hoka, they just never promoted it in anyway and called their shoes neutral. Early Hokas were very narrow and have a deeper "bucket" design, so it had that natural medial support if your feet were to overpronate and crush into the bucket walls. I had some severe flat feet and overpronation issues before my surgeries, and really could notice whether a shoe really had good medial stability or not. Really appreciate shoetubers who actually know and emphasize the importance of stability 'cause most popular shoetubers are just people with normal feet who don't know how it feels like to have overpronation issues.

I had the adrenaline 21. They were great. I went back the next year to get the 22’s. After a few days I noticed they bothered my right foot/ankle. I brought them back and got the new balance 860 v13 which I’ve had over a year. They just work better for me.

Aw man, really sold me on these shoes but I was hoping you'd have the all black coloring available in your store. Regardless, I will definitely reccomended your store to anyone looking for shoes! Thank you for the review

Great video!!

One of the best shoe reviewers I’ve seen

Good review. Most of my running shoes are neutral, i don’t have an overpronation issue but my ankle is weak due to repeated severe sprains. I find these comfortable to run on despite heavier than my other neutral shoes. Sometimes, just a slight misalignment of the insole or sockliner inside my other shoes will cause ankle pain. I am beginning to like my Adrenaline gts22

Awesome job! Another great review, thank you so much. I’m wearing latest Ghost with neutral feel, I like it but too crazy about it. I have 250-300 miles on of fast pace walking. Needing to change it a little. What do you recommend this or some other shoe? Your recommendations are always appreciated! Should

An awesome explanation.

Hi Steve! Thanks for the video. This was very helpful. Would you recommend the Nike Structure 24 or Brooks Adrenaline GTS 22 to a beginner looking for a mild stability running shoe?

I like that you spoke about supply issues. I think that will help customers understand more why you can't immediately provide what they want. I have the older version of this shoe, and it was my first running shoe. Cool to know there is a new version.

Hi Steve, a question about Brooks models please. What's the difference between the Glycerin GTS models and the Beast / Ariel? Much appreciate an answer. Thank you.

Bought these shoes coz of your review!

i constantly viewing this channel...big respect that owner is so enthusiastic and knows the running subject....unfortunately i cant buy as they not ship overseas...and still size ranhe is not wide....

Good stuff. I grabbed these last year for my first half marathon and have been running them pretty consistently since. What would you recommend as a similar shoe that offers more response for those faster distance runs?

I got it couple of months back, but my training started giving pains near my knees.. I am not sure if this is because of shoes or something else. I have always used Nike Pegasus before and this shoe feel way different than it.. is there anything I can do to suit it better? I spent quite a fortune to buy these and don't want to let them go

Can't wait until Glycerin GTS 20 comes out with Loft V3, basically same midsole material like Aurora-BL

Hi Steve, i need your show option:) I normally wear On cloudgo, Brooks ghost 14 etc. I saw these and really like them. Im just starting to pronate a tad, so this would be my first stability show. Via your comments, its good for everything, which I like. My only issue is the 12m drop. Do you think that would mess with my hips, posture or lower back due to it being 12 m. Does that makes sense.. Thanks sir.

Quick question. I have never owned a pair of Brooks GTS. Can I remove the insole and replace with power steps or is that duplicative and going to over correct?

What shoes do you recommend if you do need your foot to be thrown to the outside? I just need medial posting.

Gotta support Maryland small business. Thanks for the video.

Great video, thanks!

I don’t run but walk a lot. It’s April 2024. The last two years I wore Brooks Launch 8’s. I just got these and they feel even better.

Excellent review.

great review this really helped me I have major feet problems

Is this a good sneaker for people with high arches? I normally wear the Glycerin Series

which do you think is better adrenaline gts 22 or launch gts 9?

Just bought 4E width. Been using hoka clifton 6 and 7 all this while, was about to pull my trigger for clifton 8 but the width is not the same as previous model. My first Brooks, noticed that most brands carry either grey or black color in 4E.. Not much option in color for wide feet..

New customer here from Texas thank you for this informative video !! great website experience

I have been using Asics gel Cumulus. I think the extra support of this shoe will be a help with my plantar fasciitis. Room in the toe box is an issue with me. Would you say if I’m wearing standard width in the Asics I should also go with the standard D width or the 2E. Thank you!

Quick one if you can please help, Should I buy GTS 21 or GTS 22? GTS 21 are 30 GBP dearer than the 22, but if I buy it now I am not willing to buy for another year so if you can please share your words on wisdom :)

Is it good for walking?I have an over pronation issue while walking, is it gonna be good for me?

Hi bro, Thanks for the video. I have only one problem when running I get pain in shinbone. I'm looking for a soft sole with more sponge at the heels. Is this recommended or do you suggest anything else? I really appreciate your valuable, thank you inputs

My son loves the Brook shoes he wears a size 11 and a half. He has 3 pair that that are size 4 E and 4 pair that are 2 E what size do I buy him? ( he doesn't know that I'm getting them) for him.. What is a great shoe that I can buy him? And what size do I buy him? Please help me. Thanks Denise M Garner..

Many thanks for your review. I just started running in these in 2E, recommended by my local store, moving from Brooks Divide (8mm). Unfortunately since I've started running in these I've had quite significant pain throughout my feet. I've only done about 20km in them so far so will keep going and see if it changes. Trying to figure out what this could be - do they simply need more breaking in, or whether as only a mild over-pronation coming from a neutral shoe it's the overcorrection you speak of? Or moving back up from a 8mm drop to 12? Who knows..any thoughts appreciated!

Adrenaline killing it with the color ways!

I've managed to get 800 mile out of my adrenaline 2020's. This review, has sealed the deal, I'm gonna get them for Christmas.

Brooks adrenaline vs glycerin gets 20 what’s different, is it more comfy on glycerin gets

My feet 27.5cm long, what size should i pick?

Just bought a pair of these on sale because the 23’s are out now. I’ve been using Saucony Omni for the last 3 years and I only wish I’d tried Brooks earlier. Very smooth and comfy from the 1st run and I’m a huge fan of the colour options too.

Is this a good show for custom foot orthodics

excellent, thank you

Hi,, thank you of this great review,, a question : i have bunions of both big toes, does this model works well with me ? Or could you recommend any other brand such hoka bondi or so ?!

I have extremely flat feet so I over Pronate. I wear custom orthotics so would this shoe be good for me? For the past few years I've been wearing the Addictions but they are getting hard to find in my size/width, is this a good transition? Would something like the Dyad be better? I don't run much but I do lots of walking/working out and I stand on concrete/wood all day at work.

Can you use a full lenghth orthotic with it?

Steve hello thanks for this video, I have bought the Brooks Adrelaine GTS 22 in 2E. They are superb!!!!!!!! Simply superb. I have some ball of foot pain( under second toe of my right foot) and I was told that the bestest pair of shoes are like these brooks or something more for forefoot cushioning would be the altra paradigm or altra torin 4.5 plush I tried walking in the HOKA’s but I did not find they comfortable to walk in. If you have to if at all recommend something as wonderful as these BUT with additional forefoot cushioning, what would be your Recommendations pleaseeee?? Thanks a ton Andy

Hi! If my left foot is normal width, but my right foot is mild wide. Do I need the wide version of this Adrenaline GTS 22 or I can do with the normal shoe size (without the wide) as this shoe already has a generally wide toe box? My right foot is just mildly wide at the bunion area. Thank you!

thoughts on this shoe vs Clifton 8?

I'm running Chicago in 2 weeks. I did 10 miles in it today. Wasnt my best but I know the support of the crowd will help me in difficult times. Would you recommend this for a Marathon? Can't decide if I want to go with this or Arahi 6.

I needed a support pair of Sneakers with a decent amount of cushion for my job at hospital 🏥 12 hour shift , you think I made a good choice? Just ordered these

Are they true to size?

I want to get into running. Nothing major, maybe run 15 miles/week. I am flat footed and overpronate. I also have narrow feet. Would this be a good shoe for me? If not, can you recommend me some. Thanks in advance.

I really need to find a shoe for support for work under my heel is hurting. I can’t find my size. What would you recommend for shoes?

Can u please recommend : which one I should get : adrenaline or glicerine ? I have plantar fascia killing me and supination . Thank u . I have Ravenna and tried host 14 , doesn’t work for me

Big time supinator here. Finding out this fact quick based on wear pattern on my other shoes. I now have NB FF x860 v12s, and today I picked up these Adrenaline GTS 22s. Gonna learn fast which shoe was the wrong purchase. Im okay with burning the money to figure out why my knee is on fire after jogging 2 miles. :(

Any difference between this model and the old one Adrenaline GTS 21?

Was in an accident and temporarily have very stiff and kinda weak ankles plus a knee injury. Just ordered these and from what I've read these should help me walk a bit better

Really confused between Ultraboost 21 Vs Ultraboost 22 Vs Brooks Adrenaline GTS 21 Vs Brooks Adrenaline GTS 22. I am an overweight person and a mild over pronator. Need to stand/ walk/ jog more than 8 hours in a day. Need an all in one shoe. Please guide.

Just picked up a pair.

Is there another Brooks compatible to Adrenaline? I need new shoes!

Would love to see a vs with glycerin gts

I’ve been waiting for the 22 to drop. I tend to go for cool colors and really like the color of the first one in the video. Is it brighter in person? I have been running in the Brooks Adrenaline GTS for years (over-pronator with borderline narrow feet and flat feet, bunion on my right foot and mild planter fasciitis right foot). I may try the Hoka Arahi 5. If that one doesn’t agree with me, then its back to the trusty Adrenaline GTS.

I have a question are these made in America and If not where are they made

When is Brooks going to drop the limited/special edition colors?

For working in a hospital, is it comfortable enough?

I wish they had these in the neon green color

Any significant differences between the 21 and 22?

Thanks for the vid. I bought these shoes today, switching from Ghost I bought yesterday. I have heel, arch, ball of foot pain. Also knee and lower back. Would glycerine be a better option if it is more cushiony?

Is this shoe also good for boxing work??

Is this shoe good for custom orthotics?

Can you suggest between Brooks glysrine gts 20 or Brooks adrninal gts 22

This is my first time buying brooks I am beginner (active ) person trying to pick a good primarily running sometimes gym and everyday use - Issues with current shoe, stress and pain on the big toe area (ASICS gel wide shoe ) ( But I don’t understand why this pain in toe area when I am actually rolling out like supination confused here) So confused between buying Brooks Ghost & Adrenaline 22 My inputs from trial, shoe size 9 regular ( My foot is actually wide but usually regular fits) 1. Ghost 14. - Fits well, neutral no stress on front foot fingers or big toe area, - not much contact at the arch (my foot is slight high arched) - easy going 2. Adrenaline 22 - Snug fit overall, good contact at arch same cushion as ghost - But when I was walking I was feeling pressure on toe area ( Not sure if it was coming from a little walking before going into store ) - like the way it’s designed and look :) -- Design Look and fit wise I liked Adrenaline but NOT sure if that’s the right one for me Any helpful would be greatly appreciated, this my first time buying with this much of research apologies for long message 🙏🏼 Thank you!!

Don’t like that heel to toe drop. Own a few from Brooks and I’d probably own more but 10-12 mm drop is a no go.

I just bought a pair

I heard you mention Adrenalines are some of the most Brooks shoes you sell... I had very serious over-pronation... I seriously ' Loved ' the Beast 16s... They were perfect in every way... But after wearing couple pairs for two years ( alternating shoes every week & 1500 miles later ) Over-Pronation was completely healed / corrected... Plus I never experienced Plantar Fasciitis while using Beast 16s. I wanted to buy more Beast but sales person said that's not advisable because media posts & support would now cause foot to role outside / supinate... So I bought many, many different models & styles of road & trail shoes: lots of Hokas & few different Brooks... I have both Adrenaline GTS 21 & just got 22... Overall shoes feel Great, But forefoot / toes feels like there's nothing there, like my toes are dangling in mid air over cliff. So STRANGE never felt that In any shoes before... Heel feels very comfortable with lots of cushion & support... The forefoot & toes feel like there's no cushion & it's just bare... So I was wondering, what do you think about Glycerin 19 GTS & Addiction 15 GTS as an alternative until Beast 22 comes out later this year? Brooks Glycerin GTS 19 38 heel : 28 forefoot : 10 drop DNA Loft midsole Brooks Adrenaline GTS 21 & 22 36 heel : 24 forefoot : 12 drop BioMoGo midsole DNA Loft foam in the heel Glyerin GTS 19 Higher Stacked Height in Heel 2mm & Especially in Forefoot 4mm, is what I needed...

the toe box looks narrow or is it just me?

Just ordered me a pair should ship next week 12.09 You're the only full review... Curious? I use shoes like this for what they're designed for, walking or running... I'd like to know, if use in gym & use shoes for leg press where pushing ( 80 to 200 lbs ) more than your body weight or toe raises, where forefoot is in contact & push lots of weight, would that cause midsole cushion to prematurely wear out & fail? I'd like to wear them for everything in the gym including cycling on Stationary upright, Encumbent, Treadmill & all strength, resistance & leg press & toe raises... So if leg presses or toe raises could significantly shorten life span, then I won't use them in gym... Thanks for sharing... What's difference other than support in Adrenaline GETS 22, Glycerin GTS 19 or 20 & the Levitate GTS 5? P.S... You mentioned Guide Rails are good for side to side work. Does that mean Guide Rails helps foot / ankles from rolling to either side? Thanks for mentioning Adrenaline GTS Is basically the Ghost with Guard Rails... So as mentioned earlier what would be difference between Adrenaline GTS, Glycerin GTS & Levitate GTS? Adrenaline GTS 22 : 12 Heel Drop Glycrrin GTS 19 : 10 Heel Drop Levitate GTS 5 : 8 Heel Drop Is larger / higher heel drops better for heel strikers... I'm a very heavy / focused heel striker... And used to have serious over-pronation... I bought several ( 6 pairs of Beast 16 when 1st came out ) & rotated between two pairs every few days... Each shoe lasted more than 700+ miles... For total of 1500 miles for two pair... The running shoe store took videos of my foot with shoes on & barefoot & over-pronation was very visible... After 1500 miles in the two pairs of shoes I went to get new pair of shoes even I still had 4 brand new pairs of Beast 16... When they did video again of me walking on Treadmill with shoes & bstefoot... All over-pronation was completely gone which was good news... Bad news is they said I shouldn't use my Beast 16s or Beast 20s because support in shoe would cause me to supinate ( roll outward )... Beast are ' motion control ' GTS shoes are max, non-invasive support shoes ( meaning, if need support Guide Rails are there when needed, if not needed, there's no interference in gait )... Enjoyed your video I'm going to subscribe, like & checkout your other videos...

Brooks Adrenaline GTS 22 woman out

I have more than 10 running shoes. Adrenaline 22 is no different from the cheapest ones I have with a rather dead midsole with minimal rebound. Try Hoka Clifton 9 Rincon 3 or NB Rebel v3 if you want something comfortable and responsive. Adrenaline 22 was a great disappointment. Overpriced and mediocre at best.

Just some feedback - I feel like you’re trying to sell me this shoe when I watch this.

These shoes are comfortable and good. I like them but the stability function of the guardrails are absolutely useless. If you really need stability, look elsewhere. I realised that the American Podiatry Medical Association (APMA) approved version 21 and 23 but not 22. And I got the 22. No wonder I am finding it a little disappointing in performance.

I recently bougth the adrealine gts 22 4 months before my first marathon. Will the shoes still be in great conditions to run the marathon? Salute 🫡🔥

Great video!
