How it ranks
The Brooks Adrenaline GTS 22 ranks among the stronger daily trainers in our data. Durability and cushioning are its strongest sub-ratings. Looks scores well below its other sub-ratings. The rating rests on 55 runner reviews and 12 other rated shoes in the Adrenaline GTS product line.
Confidence
How settled the rating is against every other rated shoe. A shoe can rate high on confidence with relatively few reviews of its own when its product line has a long record and external ratings from retailer sites agree. Confidence will score low when we have few ratings or when runners disagree.
Confidence
95/100
“Support nearly gone after 150 miles; feels like neutral shoe.”
“Rough ride with rock-hard foam that's very uncomfortable.”
“Extensive 12mm heel-to-toe drop shifts foot strike to forefoot.”
“Feels like bricks on feet compared to springy foams from other brands.”
“Rigid upper/heel in newer models can aggravate the Achilles.”
“Comfortable but clunky; outsole wears out after 400 miles.”
“Does an excellent job of providing stability to reduce pronation.”
“It has quite a bit of cushion and is super great for logging miles on.”
“Enough cushion alongside stability for 16-mile long runs without excess shock.”
“Normal width blows out and becomes too loose; narrow version holds better.”

Overall
Have been running in Adrenalines for several years. The 22's improved on the heel to mid foot transition. Great for "moderate" speed running.

I've been running in Brooks for years and these fit great. I just wish the midsole went another 100 miles before going flat.

40 mpw training for a half marathon came from the New Balance 860 V9
5/5
Overall
I struggle with extreme pronation and heel strike more than I should too, but shoe does an excellent job of providing stability to my foot so that I pronate less and has an extensive heel to toe drop (12mm) so that my foot strike is shifted more to my forefoot. It looks great, holds up great, and although it has a lot of stability, it still has enough cushion so that my legs are not getting to much shock from running 16 mile long runs on the roads in them.

Rough ride, rock hard foam that is very uncomfortable. Good pronation support. Generic in every other category.
