This week I came to deeply appreciate the value of doing business with Zappos.
By way of background, I have a very difficult time buying footwear from a size, foot bed, arch, last and materials perspective. I order and have returned shoes that just didn't fit as described.
That changed this week with the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 21 shoes. From the moment I put them on, the stability of the fit and what feels like raised exteriors of the foot bed have made these feel both snugly comfortable and like walking on air.
To the customer support team who has allowed me to previously return shoes that didn't meet my fit profile... thank you.

Have been running in this type of shoe for years. Never disappoints! Love this color combo and comfort from the first time on. These work well when running on treadmill or outside.

Function and comfort of shoes are great! Only thing lacking is the looks, but overall a great shoe abs exactly what I need. Would definitely buy again.

Easy to insert custom orthotics. Wore less evenly than I would've expected in 1 year, not the most durable shoe I've purchased from Brooks, but good overall.

This is likely the fifth pair of Adrenaline GTS shoes I purchased over the past four to five years. Since I wear a narrow width, this is one of the best shoes I can find that fits, feels good, and performs good. However, its sad that the narrow width Adrenaline GTS has only one color/design choice. More concerning, an eyelet eventually broke in the left shoe of each of my two prior pairs of Adrenaline GTS rendering the shoes no good. I did get a good amount of use out of the shoes before the eyelet broke, but it broke before the bottoms of the shoes wore out so I'm disappointed that it broke.
I'd also recommend:
Brooks is the only narrow width athletic shoe that I would recommend.

I have been using Adrenaline GTS for about 3 years now. First started with Glycerin 15 and switched over to Adrenaline because one of my friend really liked Ghost and switched to Adrenaline GTS 18 (due to his overpronation). Adrenaline line has still been satisfying and the support of Guiderails works well.
I am hoping to try out Glycerin 19 and if the cushion and fit is still as comfortable and good as it was with the 15s. I have supination and I discovered recently from my Adrenaline 21 wearing out too prematurely and my knees starting to hurt whenever my shoes' outsole become thinner. Apparently the support shoes can be against my kind of runners which just means they are working. Haha
I also know a friend who tried Levitate 4 from Bedlam and she is very pleased with Energize springy type. Brooks shoes work perfectly with different type of runners since they got many different choices (Neutral or Support, Energize or Cushion, etc). Their customer service is pretty timely mannered and friendly which is why I have no worries trying out new pairs even if it can go wrong.

Comfort, these shoes are identical except for style, to my older Adrenalin 19s. I think the insole, the bottom of the inside of the shoe would have been a bit softer as the shoes are new. But that is not the case, they seem the same as my well worn 19s. I don’t have a good way of knowing whether I should have upsizes to 12, or widened to a Wide. In any case it would have required turning in a second pair of great shoes, but having no real satisfactory change in feel, and I wanted the anti-pronation sooner rather than later. I find I am happy with these shoes and I do like their design.

Great shoe for those needing arch support. Not too aggressive arch - just right. The extra-wide width is a godsend for my son who has very wide feet.

Have been wearing Adrenalines for years, same size. This pair must have been mislabeled, they were definitely not wide EE. However we returned them easily and will be ordering again!
Love the shoes, but this pair just didn’t work.

I loved the shoe. Felt like walking on a cloud. But the toe box was too narrow for my feet. I normally wear a 13, but this 13 did not fit comfortably enough for extended wear. And no 14s available so I have had ti go with a different shoe.

I switched to Brooks athletic shoes several years ago for my plantar fasciitis and I do NOT have to wear my arch inserts with them. This is now my third pair of shoes of this brand and I am sooooo happy--and my feet are too! Love the guiderails technology as I feel this helps when I do quick change moves in zumba exercise. The style/color I wanted was only available in a men's size so I googled to know which size to order and I am very pleased with the fit!
