Very comfortable for jogging and cardio but I still prefer the GTS 20

The Adrenaline GTS21 took a while to get used to. They are a bit heavier than the previous ones I had and took a few days to feel normal to me. I do like them, but I prefer the older styles.

Never disappointed in the Adrenaline line. This model seems lighter & has more spring in it, with the support & cushion I look for.

I like the older version of the shoe better. The version 21 tongue is too long.

Love Brooks adrenaline! I have had the most compliments on the color/pattern.

They?re very comfortable and give substantial support on long street runs. The only complaint I have is that the rubber heel is bulky and thick. I was worried about it?s bulkiness from the photo, it appears even bigger in real life. I bought the shoes solely for running though and that?s most important. I am 100% satisfied w their performance. The lack of 1 star is only bc of the appearance (and now I feel silly even complaining)

Love the cushion in the shoes, they are nice looking shoes. I?ve run and walked in them for weeks. I do have one issue, The side of the shoe rubs my foot near the ankle.. I?ve had this happen with other shoes so it may just be my foot.

A little stiffer than the previous pair of brooks I wore, which were the glycerin 18s. Love the look of these shoes though.

I like the shoe except it has very little arch support and so is not as comfortable as some others I?ve worn.

I have ordered this shoe before and sent it back then I received a notice recently that it was available so I ordered it not knowing it was the same shoe. I like the fit but the tapered tongue on this shoe is just ridiculous. I have no idea who designed it nor who went along with it unless it was to save that tiny bit of fabric. I am keeping this pair only for the narrow fit due to desperation to find one narrow enough.
I'd also recommend:
Wish I could find some in narrow.

I have been wearing the Adrenaline GTS 15's and these 21's have the same strong, stable sole but a completely different upper. The upper feels so unstructured, roomy and loose that I feel very unstable when running, as if there's nothing there but loose mesh. I am very disappointed that I cannot get the same Adrenaline GTS quality that I loved in the GTS 15's. Returning these to look for something with some structure on top. Hoping I can find something with the same stable, supportive sole.

This shoe was recommended in an article by the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons for people with Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction. This is the perfect shoe for someone with this issue and I wish I had this shoe as an option 15 years ago. It may have prevented a total collapse of my tendon and my arch, and subsequent major reconstructive surgery on my right foot in 2012. I have struggle to find shoes to fit and work since that time. I was extrememly torn about returning this shoe. It held my foot in place almost perfetly with no noticeable turning. The problem is that I also need to add my custom orthotic to give the additional lateral support under the reconstructed arch. The support fits inside the footbed of the shoe, but when I put the shoe on the heel cup is too shallow to hold the heel in place. I decieded that rather than risk wearing the shoe without the supports I needed to reluctantly return them. I would strongly reommend this shoe to anyone who needs the support of a shoe, especially is they pronate and have the potential to develop this devastating condition.

Still a great shoe.!The tongue design has changed and so far I like how it doesn?t slide around. Great breathe ability and light weight.

I love Brooks Adreneline, this is my 5th pair. I am a former runner and now I walk daily, mainly in town but sometimes on trails and my Adrenaline 21 give me the support my feet and knees need. Have seen a podiatrist for past issues and the doc even supports my choice of footwear. Keep movin' !

I ordered half a size larger (which is the norm for me with running shoes). I walk about 6 miles a day on a concrete jogging path, and these were a little too stiff for me. My feet felt tired after about 4 miles. I returned these and kept the Ghost 13s which have the same fit but a bit more flexibility. Both shoes were bouncy and cushioned, and I love the extra toe room in Brooks shoes.

Purchased for my wife as a Birthday present as Brooks are her favorite pair of shoes for running and exercising in. Had a pair she wore until she essentially wore them out. She loves them. But when she put them on the other day the ankle on the left shoe appears a little different and tighter.

I bought these along with the ASICS Nimbus. They are slightly narrower in the toe box than the ASICS , but still a good enough fit. They are nice-looking. I noticed that the fabric on the top of the shoe appears to be the same as another pair of Brooks shoes I bought, and I was surprised at how quickly that fabric wore out. So I decided to keep the Brooks for indoor exercise and use the ASICS outdoors.

I need to wear them a bit longer. They are still stiff. One thing I noticed is that the tongue is more narrow than the Adreline 19. I don’t like that as much.
