I got these for my 10 year old son who was having gait problems with his flimsy Nike pull-on sneakers. What a difference! He loves them and his gait has improved. He says they are very comfortable and said "I may buy Brooks for life"

I loved the energy-return upon first wearings but that soon compressed, but sooner than previous models. Not a good value. Hesitant to purchase next iteration without assurance that this has been corrected.

These shoes look nice very understated. They are comfortable and should bring some benefit to my overpronation..

My son. has. been wearing Brooks Adrenaline GTS for many years, loves them. The 21 were much narrower in the mid-foot, which dug into his foot. Going to the wide was perfect -- wider mid foot and front, but heel was still good! If they're like previous versions they wear like iron and last forever.

The shoe was too narrow for my foot. Great looking sneaker and well made.

Nice fit...but quality has gone way way down! I have bought brooks every year now for the last about 9 years. Sadly, their quality has gotten extremely cheap. After only four months of walking about 3 miles every other day the bottoms are worn thin. The insides have two holes and a hole on the outside where the big toe is. My wife too has noticed this too, each year the quality has really decreased substantially. They give a nice outward appearance but sadly are out to get your money by making them so cheap now.

I bought this to help with plantar fasciitis. I honestly don’t see how this shoe is any different in terms of stability from any other shoe. The removable insole, which i took out, was more like a wet noodle. Worse then normal running shoes I’ve owned. I put my $50 high arch support insoles in and they fit well. The shoes look nice. Look like they will last. They are comfortable with my insole. Are they worth the $$? Don’t know. I’ll know in a few weeks if they help with my foot pain. If they do I will buy another. However, you will probably have to put in your own insole which is a bummer.

Feel great, plenty of room in toe box. My feet look smaller. Great look. I did need half size larger than NB.

I normally wear a 9.5 or a 10. After first ordering size 9.5 I found them too snug. Did a simple exchange for size 10 and they fit perfect.

I have worn these exact brand, style and color of shoes for over a dozen years. My size 12 4E is next to impossible to find but Zappos still has them!

I have enjoyed probably close to a dozen Brooks running shoes including Adrenaline 19 and 20, however, this pair of GTS 21 has too much arch or something in my right shoe. It is on the inside and is so hard I am not sure I can use them very much. I keep hoping that they will soften up after onw week of use. It seems as though I read that this shoe has guardrails. If so maybe that is what is my problem. I love a very good cushion like the Ghost. What so you suggest I do?

Hi. I've been buying Adrenaline since 2015 and I've never really had any issues with the different designs that occur every year (though I thought GTS 19 were far too chunky). I got the GTS 21 about 2 weeks, I've ran about 60 miles and I have a similar issue to an another reviewer regarding the toe box. It has essentially caved in and sneakers are now very uncomfortable to run. I was hoping to use the GTS 21 for a marathon in November but will need look elsewhere. All other aspects of the sneaker were fine.

These are wonderful shoes. My son got so many blisters from other shoes. Why we went with a different brand I don't know. Always stick with Brooks! You can never go wrong.

These are the best tennis shoes I have ever purchased. I always have to buy men’s and they always look bulky and ‘manly’ but these are neutral. Very cute. Very nice. Fit is perfect for my wide feet.

I started wearing wide Brooks in exchange for new balance. The shoe is extremely comfortable like others that I own. The cushion in the arch is not as supportive as other Brooks shoes but these are still really comfortable. I wear running shoes all the time as my go to and in the gym and he’s definitely do the trick.

Returned. They didn’t have enough support on the top of my foot. Felt like my foot would not stay in place on my long walks. I kept the Saucony pair that I ordered at the same time. Zappos is such an amazing place to purchase shoes…& other items! I have bragged enough about the great customer service (& the return policy!) AND free shipping & free returns? I LOVE Zappos! Thanks so much!??
