Customer Reviews Brooks Adrenaline GTS 21

I have owned 6 pairs of Brooks GT21, over 2100 miles in those pairs in 2021. The biggest complaint is tread on bottom wears down faster than a full rubber tread. Lining inside the shoes where the heel rests breaks down on top where foot goes in and out.

This is my 3rd Brooks purchase. I enjoyed the previous two models. This one felt a bit wide, a bit large for the same size as my previous ones. I actually started to develop a corn on my second toe because of the wide toe area. Switched to another shoe, corn went away. Do not look for fashion in these line of shoes. This was the least ugly of the Brooks. Was really happy with previous, won't buy again because of this one.

Shoes look and feel great! Normally wear a size 10 in a Brooks but had to exchange for a 10.5.

Unfortunately the toe box was too narrow for me. Otherwise, great sneakers! I kept the Brooks Beast.

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.

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.

the shoe feels great, fits well, NO issues

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.

Fit similar to other Brooks shoes that I have.

This is my 3rd pair of brooks adrenaline gts, I like them

I bought these for their arch support which is great. That said, I never got back into running while wearing these because of a calf injury. The tread of the shoes did not last very long with just moderate walking around yard/town. Great support, but doesn't last.

When I first looked at shoe I thought it looked kind of cheap...But after trying on shoes I liked them. They are easy to pull tightly to your foot. When I walk each step is easy and I seem to walk faster.

Good Fit. Excellent product.

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.

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!??

I've owned several pairs of GTS18 and earlier models in 11.5B. These might have a smidgen more space in the toe box but they held firm during a jog.

Very good cushioning, but the volume is on the small side so they feel "snug" everywhere. I use an arch support orthotic so perhaps it would be okay for those who don't need orthotics.

The toe box felt larger on these and had more room than the previous pair of Adrenalines - still comfortable enough for running.

I love Brook’s and these shoes are on par with other pairs I’ve had. I do always take out the existing insoles to add a pair of Dr Schuls running insoles to make any pair of Brook’s amazing. If I don’t do this I tend to get sore spots on my foot using the factory insoles… Brook’s should just partner with an insoles maker to avoid using their subpar insoles.
