I need a narrow width shoe and not many companies make them. These are perfect for my feet. I walk 100-150 miles/month, so I go through them pretty fast! I now buy 2 pair at a time since the narrow ones aren?t often available later in the year.

I started wearing the GTS Adrenaline with the in 2017. All models were up to 2020 were great. In my mid fifties I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in my knees and advised to forego running for non impact activities. I?m 64, 5?1? weigh 112. I started walking/jogging in 2017 for weight control. The Brooks GTS 17 made that possible. I average 7 miles a day on sidewalks. Unfortunately the GTS 21 do not work for me. I?ve read other reviews with positive comments. I wear a women?s size 7 b, perhaps it my shorter stature and shoe size. Going forward I will try shoes on the treadmill before going out the door. In testing did Brooks consider men and women all sizes and running abilities?

I have been wearing the Ariel for many years, which is what worked with my over pronation and protected my knee very well. 've been looking for a sturdier shoe for walking/hiking on trails short of getting a full on hiking boot. I think the Adrenadline GTS 21 is going to fit the bill. I haven't tested it on all kinds of trails, but it does have a sole that grips the ground well, a wider profile to the sole for extra stability and fits well for my foot. I have a medium wide foot with a bunion and this shoe accommodates my foot. I haven't gotten fatigued wearing them and am excited to find a shoe after trying many for hiking/walking trails. So far so good! I do appreciate Zappos and Brooks giving 30 day trial to be sure-

I love these so cute and so comfortable. Wanted something that was supportive and stylish. My Hokas are amazing for running but not real cute with athleisure

Due to my plantar fasciitis, it's difficult for me to find shoes that I can wear comfortably and that don't cause me considerable pain. I discovered the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 19 a couple of years ago, and found them to be very supportive and comfortable. But, of course, they were discontinued. My husband was able to track down a few pair in my size, on-line that helped me get through to the end of 2020. But then there were none. Again, my husband reached out to Brooks, who recommended the GTS 21. I was very nervous, but ordered a pair. To my delight and relief, they are GREAT! They provide the support I need to be able to walk comfortably! And since I am on my feet practically the entire day, everyday - due to work and "life" being able to walk without pain is so very important. The GTS 21's have exceeded the comfort and support of the GTS 19's! I see more GTS 21's, and possible future iterations, in my future. If you're trouble with plantar fasciitis, you may wish to try these out!

I’ve ran outdoors for years and these are my favorite pair of shoes no doubt. I got the shoes Saturday, it’s Wednesday now. Weather has ranged from 28 to 22 (yesterday with with 4 inches of snow) this week and each morning I ran 3+ miles comfortably. Thank you so much for these amazing running shoes ? I highly recommend them!

I was surprised- i read a lot of great reviews about this shoe. But in actuality, it is very stiff, and VERY narrow. I had to check the label on the tongue to make sure that it actually WAS a wide... Will have to return.

great comfort, and a good grip of the ground. It is slightly too wide for my foot, despite being a Medium/B, but overall it is a great shoe. It's my 5th Brooks, and all have been reliable wonderful shoes.

I have issues with my feet--finding the right arch height to ball-of-foot pain. Finding a show that is supportive yet gives me the cushion I need for my feet not to hurt, has been difficult. I decided to try the Adrenaline GTS 21 shoes and they have been great! I have been able to use them without having to replace the insoles with something else---and my feet haven't hurt afterward. I've also noticed less knee pain. So happy with these shoes!

Finally! An incredible running shoe to fit my long but narrow feet! Lightweight and breathable- I forget I have them on.

This was a Christmas gift for my niece. I do not have reports yet, but will give it a 5 star because I have some Brooks and I think they are the best!

I ordered the narrow shoe. Not quite sure how slip it is compared to B except heel didn;t slip as much. I hope you make more narrow(2A) shoes.

These shoes are nice and cushiony! I agree with another customer who mentioned needing to order 1/2 size smaller than the shoe size they normally wear. (Example: I normally wear size 10; I ordered size 9 1/2, and they fit just fine.)

They are pretty high in the rear and lower in the front which takes some getting used to. Feel like their needs to be more support in rhe front of the shoe. I can feel my toes against the ground.

I have been wearing Adrenaline for the past few years and just transitioned out of another pair of GTS21. With this current pair, I am noticing rubbing on the side of my heal that I haven't experienced before. Loosening the laces has helped, but then I worry I'm loosing some needed support.

I bought them for the stability. I was hoping they would help with knee pain when running. Overall they’re pretty good. They definitely feel stable but they aren’t helping with the knee pain unfortunately.

I love the way the shoes fit. I always have a problem with the width of shoes. I have worn the Brooks Adrenaline GTS for many years as they have everything that I need.One thing i forgot to mention is that they have great stability as my feet over pronate.
