This is the best pair of Brooks shoes I have owned. Great support, very comfortable, and the lacing system is the most secure I have had. When you tie the shoes, they stay exactly where you want. The color is awesome.

My podiatrist recommended a motion control shoe, the Brooks Beast to ease my knee pain. However, the front soles were too stiff and made my fore foot sore. I bought the Brooks Glycerin since it had DNA Loft. The heel and fore foot are really cushioned. However, the shoe is really narrow even in the wide width and hurt my toes, so I had to return the shoes. I then bought the Andrenaline since it also had DNA Loft. The wide width fits perfectly. However, the fore foot is not as cushioned and comfortable as the Glycerin.

First off, my foot is a little narrow, but I have always used the "D" standard width with the Brooks Adrenaline for 10+ years; always a perfect fit and function. They have actually changed the toe shape in the 21 series when compared to my 18,19,20 series (I think it's wider) which created an unnatural "pop" in the materials, literally making a snap noise. I probably will need to find a new running shoe, as this change no longer fits my foot.

This shoe works well for me for running and walking. I have high arch on right foot and this shoe seemed to make my food land perfectly. Maybe it is the siderails.

Not only good looking but very stable and light feeling shoes. Great for walking, running and remaining stable.

I am 66 years-old and my comments are those of an aging runner, oldish but not old. My runs are from three to ten miles. I enjoy running in the shoe (Adrenaline GTS 21). They are comfortable and seem to protect my knees and joints from pain associated with trauma caused by running at my age. They are very good on cement, asphalt, and dirt. My only complaint is that they sometimes slip on slick pavement. I recommend the she to others.

I have ordered adrenaline?s for years! I really wish you would sell more basic red/black and blue/black colors. I have to go to the men?s sizes to get the colors I want. I have probably purchased 50+ pairs of adrenaline?s. So frustrating.

I bought these for my husband and he said they are very comfortable. He used to complain about knee and back pain after running but he hasn?t complained since wearing the Brooks Running Shoes! I?ve noticed he?s starting to wear them for daily wear so I will have to buy another pair.

It's very difficult to find a men's running shoe in a B width. I'm grateful that Brooks continues to offer options for those of us with narrow feet.

It?s good, definitely comfortable. I had the last generation and I ordered them too tight. I love these, but my only thing is that if the shoe is too lose, your sock can rub against the back of your ankle/foot. I can?t tell if this is my sock or the shoe. I?d rather not speculate. As to which it is. But it?s definitely cushy.

Finally, Brooks has a winner again with the GTS 21! I was greatly disappointed with the GTS 19s...running in them was like running in mud as compared with the 21s. The GTS 21 is light, not nearly as clunky in the forefoot (as the 19s), and the tapered tongue is awesome. While I'm at it, you guys finally have a pretty decent lineup in color selections as well. Brooks, you have a winner here....leave it alone!

I have worn the Brooks Adrenaline for years and they change it every year and sometimes not for the better to my liking. This shoe actually hurts my feet and I ended up with an injury to one foot through my arch, the shoe is too ridged in some areas. I much preferred GTs 18 and 19 much better. Although in 18-20 versions Brooks has used some type of material in the shoe that breaks down very quickly and gets too squishy especially when it gets hot or are worn for extended periods. I use my shoes for walking did not like this. It's a long time before the next version comes out and hopefully they will take these comments under advisement. I will just have to shop around for a different shoes
