4 out of 5.. let?s get the bad out of the way first. Just whenever I think that laces cannot get worse you haven?t let me down. These are terrible. I?m taking a set of laces off of my old glycerin 16?s that are still in fantastic shape and swapping them out. Laces cannot be expensive but are very important to the overall quality of the shoe! On both shoes the inner big toe areas are breaking down. Internal not external. Now the good stuff?I really like the color scheme it turned out well. That being said, they are pretty comfortable during my workout, but not great. Material breakdown and laces prevents the 5 stars possible knocked down to 4.

We ordered a size 10 as the past Brooks Adrenaline were this size. When trying on the new pair, it was a little too short for comfort, so returned for a 10.5 and fit is great. The customer service to return and reorder a bigger size was so efficient!

Adrenaline ATS-21 is an excellent series line with Brooks shoes. I like three distinct features these running/walking shoes offer. 1) support 2) comfort 3) durability. I have found these features far superior than other brands . I have 3 pairs of Brooks running shoes and I love them. Super performance with very attractive colors and design. A real catcher. I have received several compliments from people asking about my athletic shoes., j always tell them ?Brooks shoes? Best on the market!

Great shoe. I have been running the GTS for two years. Foot stabilization is excellent as well as cushion. It would be nice to get better color selections for the shoes to show a little pop. White knit gets dirty very quickly, and not easy to clean.

I purchased this shoe for my husband not as a running shoe but a walking shoe. Where he works he must wear all black shoes. He walks/stands on his feet for eight hours a day and from the description it appeared to be lighter and has more cushioning than his usual Brooks shoe. So far he likes the shoe with only one complaint and that's the stretchiness of the shoe strings.

Great shoes for the gym as well as running and walking. A snug fit for my feet - a bit narrow in the standard width, but not a problem when I'm exercising. I'm guessing they will loosen up just a bit after I've spent more time wearing them.

Great fit and great design. I feel like the material is a little sensitive to dirt and absorbs it faster than my other running shoes. I have marks on the back heal portion of the shoes that won't come off. Besides that I'm happy with my purchase.

I found the shoe runs a little narrow. I tried these shoes over the Beast and I find the Beast fits my feet better.

Good, comfortable shoe but not quite as much cushion as my previous pair of Ghost shoes.

I purchased these for my husband because I have gotten the Adrenaline GTS for over 5 years. I love them, except for the new look and mess of the latest version. They are not appealing at all. The women's Adrenaline 20 were a perfect balance. The mesh was perfect and the design/look was classic and simple. The latest version are ugly and the mesh is to open. Anyway, back to the Adrenaline GTS 21 I ordered for my husband. He said the shoes are comfortable, but on gravel roads he seems to feel the stones through the soles. He also would have preferred all black.

Size and fit are good for me. The arch support is a little weak, but okay. I wish I could get better colors in 4E width but such is life.

I usually buy the "Beast". I wanted to something better looking. I got the "Adrenaline GTS 21", magnetic black. It has a little softer step, that I like. And right at the tie it is a little narrow. I will probably get a wide next time. Overall I recommend this shoe. I really like it.

I have been wearing Brooks Adrenaline since about 2002. So, a long time. Once in a while, changes in the shoe are noticeable in a bad way. I think this is because I have come to expect these to be great shoes as the norm. The 21s feel a little off to me. Not the same comfort and sense of confidence in the run as I am used to with this shoe. Not sure what change was made since 2020, but the sole of the shoe has something to the heel that runs opposite from 20s to 21s. Not sure why or if this makes a difference. Still, a great shoe if getting pricey. No gimmicks from Brooks. Just a runner’s shoe.

Slightly bulkier than I typically prefer but I ordered due to IT Band issues that I was experiencing. These shoes definitely transferred the primary stress on my legs from my knees down to my calves which was the desired result. Quality-made shoes and they look good.

Love the shoe overall however, I do feel as if my foot slides around as I run. Not a game-changer but it is not a perfect 5 star in my opinion.

have only had the shoes for 2 weeks, but so far very enjoyable. Fit like a glove and very supportive.

I like the sturdy rim around the ankle; expect to last well. Don't like that the inner lining of the shoe is not stitched to the shoe all the way around; don't expect it to last well. Comfortable run. Good fit.

Feels great when running. Shoe sizing seems to run longer than the Adrenaline GTS 20, though the width feels the same.

slightly spongier than I anticipated, but it has been a couple of years since I've had new shoes. Otherwise, no issues.

Fantastic support and cushion, light enough, and they've held up well. I'll be ordering my third pair shortly. Dinging a star because they're routinely offered in so many colors and only one is available in B width... but with shoe companies today (ugh ASICS I am looking at you) I'm grateful to still have a narrow option at all. bonus: in this review, the 'Size ordered' field they want me to fill out doesn't go past 12.5! Not exactly feeling the small-end-of-the-bell-curve love here, Brooks. :P

Shoes are ok. They are comfortable. When i run and workout they feel good. Only concern is I have a high arch. They give me some support but not what i was hoping for. It be nice if the insoles gave better support on my high arches.
