They're okay. I like the improvement that they made to the tongue. GTS 20 tongue kept sliding off to the side constantly; I hated that. I like the softer shoelaces in the GTS 21; the GTS 20 shoelaces were rough. Unfortunately, the past few years, the shoes have been hurting my feet (balls) more with each year's model. The GTS 15, 16, 17, 18 were all great! But the 19, 20, and now 21 don't feel as comfortable inside; I've always bought inserts to help b/c the factory inserts aren't that thick. The balls of my feet are hurting more with the GTS 21 than the past few shoes. I might have to find a new brand of shoes. I'm just not loving them like I used to; I don't like that my feet hurt after wearing them for several hours.

I have wide, "sensitive" feet. I wear these shoes for my 8-12 hour shifts at the clinic and they really provide great comfort and support all the way up through my knees, hips, and back. The arch was almost too much for my feet, it took me several days to grow accustomed to the feel. Before Brooks, I'd get home and be in tears from the pain from being on my feet all day, so they have been a huge relief in more ways than one. I keep trying different styles since I haven't found the "perfect" shoe just yet but I love the Brooks brand overall. Typically I get about 6 months out of a pair before the cushion starts to break down and my feet start to hurt. I wish they lasted longer, but I also put a lot of wear and tear on them.

I like the design of the GTS 21. It's still comfortable like my previous pair and fits like a glove. I love to wear them on my long walks. Highly recommend!

It's not easy to fit a size 15 foot. These have been great. No issues with my toes rubbing.

They are awesome. I suffer my sciatica and piriformis syndrome. These shoes have provided me with the support I need.

I've been running (though I wouldn't call it that now) the last 45 of my 71 years. Needless to say, I've had a variety of shoe brands over that time, some better than others, to be sure. Until about 10 years ago, I wore New Balance almost exclusively--after I discovered them. Since then, it's been mostly ASICS and Brooks, as long as the shoe fell within the Stability category. Until my purchase of the GTS 21, I switched between the Kayano and the Adrenaline for my runs, but realized something about the Adrenaline that was not true of the Kayano: I could feel "feel the ground" as I made my way. Perhaps that falls within the category of Responsive. With the Kayano, I had no such sensation, as if the purpose of that shoe was to disguise the sensation of movement and contact--plus the arch-support on it tends to be a bit too emphatic for my feet. My late-in-life epiphany was this: as long as I can "run," I want Adrenaline on my feet. The 21 is a step up in terms of swaddling the foot, relative to the 19s, but the support is exactly what I want and the feel just superb. Let me also add that I generally order a half-size up with my running shoes, as that fit always seems to work with the shoe brands I've purchased.

I?ve been wearing Brooks for some time now. They are great! I have very flat feet. I wear these shoes at work at the hospital up to 14 hours a day. A great show. In fact I need to order another two pairs.

I've purchased Brooks Adrenaline GTS shoes for nearly 20 years now. For my foot structure, they provide the right amount of cushion, support, and width in an athletic shoe to be able to do anything from running to HIIT classes to weight lifting. I've tried other brands and this is the best for my foot

Too soft for a stability running shoe. Heel to toe transition is too great. Does not provide adequate motion control.
Overpronation actually greater.

These shoes are incredibly comfortable and fit my 12 EE feet perfectly. While I do like the look of shoe, I wish all the colors were available at bigger sizes.
