Customer Reviews Brooks Adrenaline GTS 21

Hi... I m a true believer in brooks... I have purchased at least 20 pair of Brooks in the last 7 to 8 years... I normally purchase the adrenaline GTS 20... I purchased the adrenaline GTS 21 this time... I have done 3 boot camps and 3 walks from 3-5 Miles each and do not like them near as much as the GTS 20?s... they don?t seem to fit near as well .... Thanks for asking...

Fit is good, but the cushioning isn't as good as the Adrenalin 19 I had last. I'm trying some memory foam inserts to see if that can give me the support and comfort I need in a walking shoe. Brooks has an admirable return policy, but these are already a replacement of a previous incorrect order, so I'm trying to make these work.

Simply not that comfortable. Bye the Ghost 13 they rock! Brooks has the best customer service ever! Thank you for exchanging several shoes I?ve purchased!

I feel like I?m feeling the ground too much for new shoes, I?m thinking about possibly returning and upgrading to the beast.

They are good but for some reason don?t fit me quite as well as the adrenaline I wear full orthotics so maybe that has something to do with it thank you

Ugliest shoes I?ve ever had. Also the most comfortable. Really help the plantar fasciitis

Decent shoe. Feels more like a less expensive model.

I have been wearing Adrenaline?s for years and years! Every new model has been improved except the 21s. You went in reverse w these. The 20s were the best model. I will stick with the 20s and hope the 22s are better! I still love Brooks!!!

Great mesh sneaker, but heel and sides were a little too rigid for me for running.

After the huge changes from the 18s to the 19s, the 21s are finally getting there, but they aren't quite there for me yet. Finally, the weight has gone down a tad (I still wish they were as light as the 18s were) and the heal-to-drop is no longer a cliff but more graduated. The shoe's upper is very comfortable, too. But after an hour of running in them, or when doing shorter higher-intensity runs (i.e. intervals/speed work), my forefoot is tired. It feels like there's zero padding under the forefoot because it's all under the heal. With a 12mm drop, I wish they'd lose a couple of mm at the back and push some of that padding toward the front of the shoe to distribute it a bit more. If you're a heal striker, then this shoe is definitely for you!

The shoes look nice and feel good. But I've had them about a month or so and they aren't holding up very well. I work in a hospital and my fellow medics and nurses spoke very highly of brooks so I was surprised that they are doing this.

These are replacing my Adrenaline 19's. I've had a couple runs with 6 miles being my longest so far. I like them but I feel like they've gone too soft and the sizing is a little bigger than the past. I've had series 16,17 and 19 by the way.

Great feeling shoe - easily the best yet. But utterly uninspiring colors. It?s almost like Brooks looked around and realized they had way to much white and black dye...and decided to launch a decidedly bland collection.

Not as good as the GTS 20. The fit of the 21 is more similar to the Ghosts, which (for me) are narrower and a bit stiffer. The tongue design on this version also causes the toe box to pull and dimple/deform.

Loved the fit and feel of the shoe! Only problem is that the sole started to peel off the first time I wore it. Then a larger piece came off in the same spot. Returning them and going to get something else. Again shoe fits and feels great, just quality wasn't where it needed to be.

ok on support and cushioning, but at top of toe where the mesh meets the tip, it has small bulges where the connection is not smooth

Just ehh. Not as good a product as they once were, so somewhat disappointing each successive pair I've bought. Time to move on I guess.

I had my third run today with the Adrenaline GTS21. My left shoe has developed a popping sound on the upper side and rubs uncomfortably when I'm running. The right shoe is ok- I've never had this problem before. This is my 5th Adrenaline GTS pair. I need to exchange them

I haven't had the shoes for more than a month and the outer sole of the shoe keeps breaking off I'm chunks. I wear them to an indoor office job. This shouldn't be happening for the price paid.

I have worn Brooks (Ghost) for years.... the ONLY sneaker I could wear on my terribly painful, post-two-surgeries feet. Something has changed with Ghost and all styles, and it is incredibly frustrating. Nothing works on my feet anymore, and I am lost!
