This shoe is lightweight and would be good for warm climates. I usually wear a 9 in athletic shoes and that size was perfect. I’m returning this because they didn’t have enough cushioning for me as compared with the glycerin.

I ordered the same size as the sneakers I have now; however, they were too large. They are very nice looking shoes. However, they really did not feel very comfortable.

I usually wear an 8 to 7 1/2 but these I needed an 8 1/2. Arch support fits nicely in them with the toe box is not crowded.

I have purchased at least 4 pairs of this shoe. I love them and the support is unmatched. My only complaint is it seems they wear out very quickly. I hope this is fixed in the next edition.

Fit and size were great. However, I wasn't prepared for how dirty this color got so quickly. I like this shoe, and I bought another color. Unfortunately, I have to return the second pair because the sole is pulling away from the shoe after only 3 weeks of wear.

great shoe - have worn in past years. This one seems oversized! Also the light colored sole makes it appear bulky.

I ran on Adrenalines before but had forgotten. These were comfortable and I loved the color (I rarely get to choose colors at my small size) but ultimate I am returning in favor of the Glycerines.

I have another pair of Brooks Adrenaline GTS 21 and I measured the ones I just received from Zappos (and returned), and they were definitely shorter, and MUCH narrower in the toe box area. They were marked the same size and width, but definitely were not.

Much better than the adrenaline 20, more comfortable and closer to the 19’s

Love Brooks. I ordered two different styles. While I like this one, the other fit better.

So far they are very comfortable. However, I've had the previous models of this shoe and the front of the sole always wears out. So, I'm hoping the newer model lasts longer. I power walk 5 to 6 days a week (5 to 6 miles each day).

The fit seemed fine but I need good arch support for my right foot that overpronates. I have to return them.
I'd also recommend:
I usually buy NB 940v4. Kind of sick of the colors but I get the support I need.

This is my second pair of Brooks Adrenaline. I had the GTS 20 before this, which wore out in about a year. I do think the GTS 21 looks a lot sleeker and I love the color selections. I do worry these will wear out quick like the pair before, which is disappointing considering the price, but they are quite comfortable and they help to stabilize my feet / knees, which is important for me.

These are very attractive, comfortable and well made shoes but do run a tad short. Will get 1/2 size larger next time.

Bought for daughter for track, she over pronates terribly. As for all running shoes we have always ordered a half size up for both of us to avoid issues with ingrown toenails and other toe issues and these fit perfectly. They solved all the issues she was having with her ankles hurting and shin pain from the wrong shoes. She would order them again.

I’ve been wearing Brooks Adrenaline for several years and so wanted them again. However the new version with the guide rails, rubbed just below my ankle and wasn’t comfortable so I had to return them. I’m not a runner, but walk a lot plus use them for my exercise class. I’ll have to find another shoe.

I was excited to see that Brooks now offers single shoe sizing, which I originally thought I was going to need. Nonetheless I ordered the same size shoe per foot and have not been dissatisfied. I thought they were going to be too big, at first, then realized they fit just right. I have flat feet (like ZERO arches) and I thought the arch support in these shoes were going to be too much (as I haven’t worn orthotic arch supports in years). I was pleasantly mistaken. These are comfortable to wear for all day on my feet (9-12hr shifts). The only drawback I have is: I have to take them off and walk barefoot at home sometimes. Why not a five star? Honestly, if the arch support had a hair more side support for those “dropped ankles”, it would be a five.

the shoes feel like they are a size to big even though they are the correct size.
