There is something different about this shoe, the Adrenaline GTS 20 feels like it is more molded to my feet. The GTS 21 feels a little heaver or something. I got a pair in white to go with my lighter colored jeans, and the style is nice. I guess I wouldn't go with the GTS 21 again. I like the lightweight feeling of the other Brooks brand.

I usually wear Saucony for running and wanted to try to branch out. I liked the look of these but the toe box felt narrow and the arch bit me in a different spot than I’m used to.

These shoes fortunately came in narrow, which is important, because I have narrow feet. Shoe manufacturers have been making fewer and fewer pairs for narrow feet, and for a while I was running with standard width shoes (that style was on sale, and it didn't come in narrow) and extra insoles. Then I started developing blisters on my left big toe. Another reason I switched to this more expensive style was the fact that it's a stability shoe. I supinate badly, and lately I've been wearing out shoes like crazy. After only two months of running, I've worn the outside of the shoes' fronts, and especially the balls, almost flat. I hope that the stability built into these shoes corrects this quirk to my gait at least enough that this pair will last longer and therefore compensate for the higher price.

My husband and I are longtime Brooks shoe wearers. I like the look of my new Adrenaline GTS shoe. I think the look denotes a seasoned runner/walker with just the perfect non-obnoxious pale blue accent touch of color in the webbing, also in the 'Brooks' shoe label name, and on the side of the heal and on the bottom of the shoe. Says 'ladies' shoe' without being too 'Girlie'! Luv it!

Brooks shoes are the only shoes I own because they offer the most support and cushion of any shoe I have ever tried. The Adrenaline GTS 21 is a very comfortable shoe! I need a shoe that has a lot of support and cushion, and the Adrenaline GTS 21 does just that, and I noticed it as soon as I put it on. I wish the tongue fit a little more comfortable, as I sometimes feel discomfort where the tongue sits on top of the foot, and the laces have become a little frayed after only having the shoes for a couple of months now, but overall The Adrenaline GTS 21 does what I need it to do.

Love these shoes. They provide great support and they have really helped get rid of my plantar fasciitis. I only gave them four stars because the sneakers I ordered were not exactly the colors on the picture. I won't return them because they are just sneakers, but I do like the colors better in the photo.

First I just have to say that Zappos is such a pleasure to do business with. i had to get a different size and they sent the new size out right away and were so pleasant to deal with! So, the sneakers are really nice, a little less comfy than the Brooks Ghost 13 but still nice fitting. Good for planter fasciitis and working on feet all day! ?

I had initially ordered these in white/gray/black because that was all that was available in my usual size and when they came they just didn't fit right. The laces were too long and much stretchier than my last several pairs of Brooks shoes. The shoe itself seemed too long and the material seemed to stretch out too much so my foot was sliding. After talking with a Brooks customer service rep I returned those and ordered a different color (528 - Ombre/Lavender/Metallic) and down a half a size from my usual Adrenaline size. These fit much better and the laces and uppers were less stretchy.

I really like the support the shoes give my feet and the correction in walking. My only complaint is that they get dirty easy and I'm having difficulty cleaning them.

This is probably my 4-5 pair of Adrenalines but my first pair of the 21s. Overall the feel is very similar but I think that the tongue is different and doesn't fit quite as good as the 20. I will most likely order another pair but hope the next version goes back to a similar tongue as the 20.

Great cushioning to my feet but runs a little smaller than the adrenalines I have had previously. Does not stretch out when you break them in.

Not as good as my Adrenaline GTS 20's. It feels as though the shoe is less stable and the extra cushioning places more strain on my bad knees as I have to push off with more effort to overcome the cushioning I've sunk into. I must say, I do love the new colors though!

Very light weight. Good fit. I can stay my feet longer with my GTS 21?s. I definitely recommend for summer days.

I really like how much cushion these sneakers have. The only problem I have with them is that they hit a bit high on the front of my ankle.

I don't run but on feet moving around and up and down steps all day. These shoes are light and cushiony. I ordered wide width but they seem a little tighter than my usual wide shoes, so i just loosen the laces and they're okay.

Pretty good I think. I have been wearing these shoes for years. I got plantar fasciitis this year a few months after getting this new pair. Don't know if it has to do with the shoes. Also wish there were more pretty colors!
