I love these shoes, they are my second pair that I have bought. The support and cushion are just what my feet needed.

I was skeptical to order these because I was so disappointed in the adrenaline gts 20?s but what about 2020 weren?t we disappointed about?. Anyway I love these shoes. Everything that was wrong with the 20?s was corrected in the 21?s. Especially the heel. Whatever they?ve done on the heel, it is so easy to slide on and I?ve yet to have to wear band aids on my heels. I have zero pain in these shoes anywhere! I?m a hairstylist and I walk/run with my dogs 4 miles 3 to 4 days a week so I?m on my feet a lot. These shoes are soft but supportive. They hold on to the heel. No slipping and have room for the front of your foot to spread out.

I had been walking in the GTS 18 - the new shoe fits a little differently, seems to be a little narrower - laces are way too long for me. That said, the shoes are comfortable , cushioned but supportive and your customer service ie excellent! My daughter ordered this first but in wrong size., the return was painless! Both orders came very quickly! I also ordered the Transend 7 at my daughter?s suggestion and they might be the perfect shoe!!! I am not an athlete, I only walk daily and I?m a big person. I was plagued with bilateral planter fasciitis as a nurse several years ago and started to look for a shoe that would work for me. Tried some other brand names and then tried Brooks and I?m glad I did.

I like these shoes for their attractiveness and supportive sole, but would prefer more arch support and a wider, higher toe box for my bunion and hammer toe. I?m using the inserts from a different type of Brooks sneaker in order to increase the arch support.

Great shoe - I got narrow, which only comes in one color. Would love to have more narrow color options.

I have worn various models of Brooks running shoes for well more than a decade — 4 to 5 pairs a year, every pair women's size 8.5. But not these.
I needed an additional pair of white/mostly white shoes as a requirement for high-school swimming and diving officiating uniform. Earlier this year, I got the oyster white Ghost 12 in size 8.5. Perfect fit, matching my four other pairs of Ghost 12 in the same size.
With Ghost 12 out of production and Ghost 13 not 'white' enough to pass inspection by the 'uniform police,' I had to find a different Brooks model. Can't wear Asics, can't wear Nike (neither brand fits my feet correctly) and Adidas had nothing that suited, either.
The Brooks Adrenaline GTS 21 looked like it would fill the bill. And, it did ... eventually.
I ordered the Adrenaline GTS 21 in my usual size 8.5. My feet swam around in them. Sent them back to Zappos and ordered size 8. Feet still swimming around in that pair; there seemed to be no size difference whatsoever between the 8.5 and 8. I realize that the difference in half-sizing for the American market is just 1/16th inch, but not even that seemed to exist between these two pairs.
Enter pair No. 3, which is 7.5 ... perfect, great fit!
Super comfortable shoes that turned out to be just what I needed and expected — once I got the sizing figured out. So, my takeaway is that these are worth it for comfort — and probably great for running, too, although I wear Ghost 12 for that. Just be prepared to have to reorder in a different size.
But if that happens, Zappos is super at getting your order out FAST and, since I was under a deadline for tournament officiating, that was a big help!

I have had many pairs of running shoes over the years. I don't run any longer, so my cardio consists of hill walking, elliptical machines or arc trainers. The Brooks Adrenaline have been consistently comfortable and I love the new color (white/light blue).

I loved these shoes! I saw loved due to my dog chewing them up. I did end up buying another pair of Brooks just a different style.

Love this shoe! I switched back to Brooks a couple of years ago after a hiatus, and am so happy I did. All of them fit my foot better than other brands. I tried another shoe from Brooks, but noticed changes in my gate so came back to the Adrenaline and my issues improved the first week. They are stable and stop me from pronating as much.

These shoes are very comfortable. They fit my custom orthotics very well. I can wear them all day. They have really helped with my metatarsalgia and back pain. Def. will buy an additional colors in the future. Great investment for my overall health!

I did not believe that a pair of shoes could make this much difference. I was getting plantar fasciitis even when just walking 3 miles much less jogging. I?m a teacher on my feet all day and was wearing Birkenstocks all day. You can?t run in them. The shoes were rated highly for that type issue and for running in country fields and roads. I find them stable, comfortable, and my feet never hurt at the end of the day from teaching all day to jogging or walking many miles. Soooo worth the cost!

1st time buyer. Nurse so on my feet a lot, on top of going to gym every day after work, feet and shins don?t seem to feel the strain even with having to use treadmill in these winter months. Good arch support. Would buy again.
