Customer Reviews Brooks Adrenaline GTS 21

Feet feel terrible wearing. Limited comfort.

One of the few running shoes in ultra wide size. Durable and comfortable

Great

Literally my only complaint, and it is small, is that the laces come untied a bit too easily while running.

Really a perfect fit. My first Brooks experience so hopeful.

This shoe, while soft and comfortable was too soft and provided poor stability. The shoe rolled side to side too much. I don't like the shorter tongues Brooks is putting on the shoes either. Orthotics don't fit into them well either and because there is no trim around the front, the orthotic will eventually wear out the soft fabric of the shoe most likely because it sticks out weird from the shoe in the forefoot area. I was hoping to find a more comfortable alternative to the Beast that was less expensive. I don't like the new style of the Beast either but I reordered another pair as there is a little more support in the front part of the shoe than the Adrenaline has. Also, I actually need a women's 12 1/2 but Brooks doesn't make that size. So I have to order a men's size 11 which usually is a good fit. However, then I can't get prettier colors. I am really disappointed in the new Brooks Beast and this Adrenaline shoe I tried. I wish Brooks would go back to something in between this new style and the old style and also make a Women's 12 1/2. Some of the other brands of shoes do make this size but their shoes are not as good as Brooks in my opinion.

Love these shoes

The greatest running shoe money can buy

Love the look, but too tight.

the shoe feels great, fits well, NO issues

Compared to my other Brooks shoes these were uncomfortable. Felt like the width was not 4E. Actually I did not want to wear them and opted for a much older pair of Brooks.

Sizing is way off. I’m a woman with large, wide feet. The Adrenaline GTS 21 fits me perfectly in women’s size 11EE. Per Brooks’ own website, I should order 1.5 sizes smaller if ordering a men’s size. Could barely get my foot into the men’s 9.5 EE. The men’s 10EE is the right length for me but considerably narrower than the women’s 11EE. Men’s shoes are usually wider than women’s, that’s not the case here at all. My husband is a men’s 13EE, these would never fit him in that size. None of this would be an issue if shoe companies used logical sizing based on the actual length of the shoe or foot (so if it’s 10 inches long, it’s a size 10, genius right?) Pictured is a men’s Adrenaline GTS 21 size 10EE in black next to a women’s Adrenaline GTS 21 size 11EE in gray. Same approximate length but visibly narrower forefoot area.

I love these shoes! Just ordered my third pair. I do a lot of exercise walking (3-4 miles daily) and they do not fail me!

Comfortable, good fit.

First pair was defective but Zappos exchanged for a better pair. All the Brooks running shoes seem to run a bit small... Ultimately that the only shoe that helps me.

This shoe felt narrower than the previous model. It was more tight than I was willing risk "loosening with wear". I am a little sad this pattern was not made in a wide model, but that is not worth a major ding in rating.

They sent two right feet shoes, one was a double 10ee as ordered and the other a 10med. The double ee seems like it would be comfortable but unfortunately have to return it since I only have one right foot.

love em

I have been a Ghost girl for awhile now, as a non-running, walk-plenty special ed teacher with bunions and a gleefully-deficient sense of style. My duck feet squeaked perfectly into a Ghost men's size 7 4E. Not so with this Adrenaline. It took my feets a few days to settle into their proper position - and that happened to be mooshed up against the front. Whaaa? Cue: Zappos returns! The half size up helps - but the Adrenaline toe box just feels more snug. The half size up feels ok-snug, not upset-snug. If you, fair reader, also suffer with sensitive digits down below, hike up at least a half a size.

Great! Fits very well and very comfortable. I normally will wear new shoes in the house for about a week to break them in just to be sure that they’re comfortable and are the right fit. I didn’t need to do that with the Brooks running shoes. I recommend Brooks to anyone looking for great running shoes.

I love them because I have a right foot with an amputated toe and a “crossover” toe, and these are the first shoes I’ve found that accommodate my problems. They feel great!!
