Customer Reviews Brooks Adrenaline GTS 21

Great, super comfortable. Probably my 10th set of adrenalines. Good stability with some cushion too.

Overall, the fit - heel, toe box, height, all felt great - much like past Adrenalines. I have long been using Adrenalines for daily walking wear, and Ghosts/Glycerins for running. I have very flat feet but neutral pronation. Unfortunately, my feet did not get along with this latest Adrenaline. After a day on my feet (mixed walking, standing, sitting), my feet were notably mildly sore and felt tired. Not sure how to describe, but was glad to take off at end of day. Tried similar show style from competitive brand I used to wear considerably and did not have end of day soreness. I'm hoping the Adrenaline 22 will work again as I really like the overall Brooks shoe fit.

Quite simply, these shoes are painful to run in, or even to wear walking. I've been using Brooks GTS shoes since 2003 & the 21s have been the worst. Sold as "softer & plusher" they feel hard compared to my GTS20s & since using them I've had pains in my heel & big toes. It feels like they're forgeries, but I got them from a Brooks store. I stuck with them, hoping it was a Breaking In issue, but they didn't get any better. SOMETHING has been done to the heel area, I don't know what, but it's dreadful. I've had to take several weeks off running & my GTS21s are now relegated to everyday wear & yet even just walking around in them they still hurt my feet in the same places. I found a pair of unused GTS20s still in their box & haven't had any trouble with them, although it'll be a while before my feet heel up enough to put on some milage. Hopefully the 2022 version will be better.

Wish the 2022 would have dropped before 12/25. Settled for an old design but really wanted the new version. Seems like Brooks purposely waited to lease new design to reduce old inventory. :(

I got both the Adrenaline 22 and 21 GTS shoes based off reviews, some loved the 22 some loved the 21. I was desperate for comfort at work, I walk 13-20 miles a day on concrete floors and have some over pronation so these seemed like a perfect fit. The 22 2e was actually slightly wider in the mid foot area and both comfortable in the toe box for me. Great heel support and I think the perfect cushion. The 21 I could feel the guide rails on the interior side of my bigger foot which was concerning but as soon as I got my super feet adapt run insoles in?. Good lord they are crazy comfortable. The 21 I feel like are a lot more comfortable for me, I?m going to return the 22 and purchase a few more pairs of the 21 while I still can. I work 10-14 hour shifts and no foot pain and it really helped with the pronation as my knee wasn?t bothering me at al even after a 12 hour shift on this nasty concrete. Literally what I consider perfect. If your debating between the 21 and 22, I would suggest trying both! I?m glad I did, I found the perfect work shoe which is a complete life saver.

The Best running shoe for me! At least my 6th pair!

I think the Aderline 19 was the best of all , great cushion comfortable

These shoes have been amazing year after year and the GTS21 lives up to the standard previously set. Great support, cushion and transition during the run.
