Customer Reviews Brooks Adrenaline GTS 21

Area around ankle bone was too high and rubbed against bone. Like the color, but need to return because of the higher cushion around ankle.

I like how they feel on my feet. I’m on my feet 10-12 hours a day. I would recommend these shoes.

Great looking shoe. I originally ordered an 8.5, but had to send them back for a 9. I’ve never worn a size 9 shoe before, so I’d say they run 1/2 size small.

This shoe is comfortable and super lightweight. I have severe overpronation, however, and this didn't quite offer enough support, so they are going back.

Really a nice looking shoe. Got 7 1/2 W and they were perfect, my usual size in athletic shoes Gave them to my daughter because I’m use to hoka bondi cushion. Also the brooks kind of propel you forward. Good for runners, but not good for balls of feet on older people. Great shoe though!

I have worn Ghosts for years but read a review that one customer preferred Adrenalin for walking. Since I was due for a new pair of shoes, I ordered a pair of each to compare. Ghost won; it was the same perfect fit a knew and loved. The Adrenalin was too tight at the big toe, probably because my bone (the bunion bone) is a bit enlarged, and it felt as if my foot would roll to the inside. The Ghost shoe provided the space and stability I need.

Although I ordered a half size larger than my normal size, the shoes are still too short. Will exchange for half size larger. Wide width is true to fit. Color is nice, and show is supportive and works well with my support inserts.

I road run staying loyal to Brooks Ravenna (now Launch) when the Glycerin models (16 in particular) have become too soft and 'spongy' for the pavement. I also run in Ghost GTX for snow. The Adrenaline GTS 21 is very supportive, but this support can often slow speed time for those concerned with timing. The GTS 21 feels only slightly heavier than my Glycerin 19 model and I think it's due to the extra support of the GTS in the ankle area. I opted for the Nocturn coloring for this model because I run with a fully reflective vest.

I usually wear a 9W. These are technically wide enough, but not the same "wide" as the Lavender Metallic. I'll have to wear thin socks. Would be nice if they were consistent, but they never are.

Ordered half size larger than normal and they fit great!

It has extra padding in the back of the shoe, that made it really uncomfortable for someone who has tendon problems, had to return them, the back of my heel etc hurt for a good 10 mins after only having them on for a few mins

I loved my adrenaline 20’s. Unfortunately for some reason these didn’t fit the same. One shoe was to lose, and the owner didn’t have enough padding for the ball if my foot. I’m sore both shoes were exactly the same as each other, but whatever subtle differences were made made them not a good fit for me. Very sadly I had to return them. I was especially sad because with the 20’s for the first time in many many years I did not have to use an insert with my shoes.

These shoes are great. I've had Brooks Adrenaline's before and most have been great. Nevertheless, with new shoes you can't be sure that they haven't been tweaked for the worse. These haven't been! I put them on in the morning and forgot I had new shoes on until I took them off at night; so good!. I would have liked more interesting designs like my last pair, but function is what counts, and obviously good colors sold before I could get to them.

This is my second pair of Brooks Adrenaline shoes. Love that they come in wide width.

I have two other Brooks shoes that fit beautifully. I wanted another shoe that was overall mostly white in color. This lower portion of this shoe (rubber side veiw of sole) has a slight pink cast to it. It's not completely white as pictured. I'm returning for this reason.

Sending these back. Tried them around the house for an hour and they just weren't as comfy as my Ghost 13's. Something around the heel/ankle and they didn't hug my foot quite right. Not saying they're a bad shoe. Just not a perfect fit for my long, bony feet. ;) Don't think I'll ever buy any athletic shoe other than Brooks though! They're amazing.

I love the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 21. The only reason I didn't keep this particular color is because I don't like white soles. I have two other pair with black soles and after washing they look new. White soles will cannot look that good.

I liked just about everything with the shoe - 10w was good with an appropriate toe box, balanced so my foot didn't protonate or otherwise, shoe laces good length, support was about right with my high arches... Returned because it hits me too high on the ankle in the front near the tongue - presses and rubs on my ankle. Thank you, Zappos, always for your gracious return policy.

These are very nice shoes, well made, and cute, but they're not for my foot. I have a high arch and also need a wide toe box. The toe box could have been a little roomier, and it was too tight across the beginning of my instep (with the laces loose). I'm returning these.

Good Fit, cut more narrow than expected.. looks better than I expected.

not enough arch

First pair of Brooks, feel great, fit well, very comfy.......Wore them all day, first day I received them, never rubbed anywhere! I would recommend them! My daughter loved them so probably get her a pair.......
