How it ranks
The Brooks Adrenaline GTS 23 is one of the strongest daily trainers in our data. Durability and comfort are its strongest sub-ratings. Looks scores well below its other sub-ratings. The rating is based on 60 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 is low when we have few ratings or when runners disagree.

Overall
I have been running in Brooks for 20+ years, as a nurse I also wore them at work (different ones from running), every time I would try to change (in the early years) I would get shin splints and join/back pain! The adrenalin's fit the bill for me and worth every penny!

I wore Brooks Adrenalines for years, until they modified the design a while back so that the top of the shoe dug into my lateral malleolus (the bump on the outside of the ankle) and made them too uncomfortable to wear. I am pleased that the GTS23 version corrects that problem.
