Customer Reviews Brooks Adrenaline GTS 21

Traditionally the shoe has been good for pronators but it felt like the heel was forcing me to pronate even more simply walking. Disappointed that they've changed the shoe in the ways that they have. Very restricting

Shoe fit well except too narrow at heel.

They fit my giant son's feet fine, as these are the only kind of shoes we normally buy. This time, however, the canvas tops have already ripped at the toe less than six months of wear.

Too small, had to return!

This is likely the fifth pair of Adrenaline GTS shoes I purchased over the past four to five years. Since I wear a narrow width, this is one of the best shoes I can find that fits, feels good, and performs good. However, its sad that the narrow width Adrenaline GTS has only one color/design choice. More concerning, an eyelet eventually broke in the left shoe of each of my two prior pairs of Adrenaline GTS rendering the shoes no good. I did get a good amount of use out of the shoes before the eyelet broke, but it broke before the bottoms of the shoes wore out so I'm disappointed that it broke.

This shoe, while soft and comfortable was too soft and provided poor stability. The shoe rolled side to side too much. I don't like the shorter tongues Brooks is putting on the shoes either. Orthotics don't fit into them well either and because there is no trim around the front, the orthotic will eventually wear out the soft fabric of the shoe most likely because it sticks out weird from the shoe in the forefoot area. I was hoping to find a more comfortable alternative to the Beast that was less expensive. I don't like the new style of the Beast either but I reordered another pair as there is a little more support in the front part of the shoe than the Adrenaline has. Also, I actually need a women's 12 1/2 but Brooks doesn't make that size. So I have to order a men's size 11 which usually is a good fit. However, then I can't get prettier colors. I am really disappointed in the new Brooks Beast and this Adrenaline shoe I tried. I wish Brooks would go back to something in between this new style and the old style and also make a Women's 12 1/2. Some of the other brands of shoes do make this size but their shoes are not as good as Brooks in my opinion.

Somehow they changed the width of these. I have bought them for several years and they have been great, but now the shoe is a little to narrow and I can't wear these comfortably. SO sad, because I find it so difficult to find shoes that are decent quality, supportive, and wide enough for my foot and custom orthotics.

Liked the color but it was short in the toe. I would have to order a half size larger.

The shoe strings were not strechy

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

true to fit and sizing , soles are soft and only last 6 months

The heel support tips my feet to the outside when I turn, making me feel like I'm going to roll my foot and twist my ankle.

I've been buying the Brooks Adrenaline GTS series from the 15s through to the 18s. Sadly the changes they've made after the 18 just haven't worked for me at all. Issues specifically with the 21: - Had to go up half a size because the toe box felt much smaller. - Normally I am a 2E for width but that was narrower than it used to be. - Unfortunately I am in the group of people who experienced pain in the feet and toes with the 21s. Though the cushioning and arch support were good the shoe was much narrower than it used to be which caused pain in my toes. When I switched from a 2E to a 4E the pain in my toes went away but I started feeling pain on the side of my feet. Many people in the reviews state as much but since it doesn't seem to be an issue for everyone I tried to run it out which was a huge mistake. If you feel even the slightest pain while wearing these return the shoes return them. I truly hope that the 22s are better. This style of running sneaker has been my favorite for years.

The shoe is comfortable on the foot, however; there is a slope change on the bottom of the shoe at front making it uncomfortable to finish your step as you walk. This is a change from the previous version of the shoe (2019) that I own which I found very comfortable to walk in.

sneaker was very too tight snd nsrtiw
