Customer Reviews Brooks Adrenaline GTS 21

Brooks? shoes are great. But when I ordered my normal size 9 size it felt floppy and wide. Had to tie laces tight to get secure fit. So something changed.

These don?t feel as supportive in the arch as my previous pair of brooks Ghost.

Very good, but I'd like to feel more arch support.

I wear a size 8 narrow. Based on past experience with the Brook's Launch shoe, I bought a size 9 narrow. It didn't seem narrow and felt too long. Maybe 8 1/2 narrow would have been a better fit. My daughter also wears a size 8 medium and is comfortable in the shoe, so I passed it on to her. The shoe has a lot of cushioning and looks good.

I have been wearing Brooks, Adrenalines for about 6 years and absolutely love them. The most recent pair I have purchased is very squeaky though.

This shoe is very well cushioned, the rails do their job to keep my feet in line, and it has a taller heel. The one negative is that the taller heel needs a tab to hold onto when you put the shoe on, as the heel part gets pressed down and is hard to pry up again.

I purchased a pair after walking around a bit in the store. I thought they felt great on. Took them on their first and only run (2.5 miles) and WOW, I was so slow. These are SLOW shoes - at least 30 seconds/mile if not 1 minute/mile slower than my regular shoes. They absorb your momentum. They are soft. In fact, I realized they are too soft for my feet. Me feet muscles started to feel like they were stretching out. I don't know how to describe the sensation. I was afraid it might lead to plantar fasciitis. I had one other model of shoes years ago I thought was great because they were so soft and I ended up with plantar fasciitis in just over a week. It really felt like I was running on soft bricks (think bricks made out of 4" thick memory foam) during my short run. There was no forward rolling motion of the foot and I couldn't land near mid-foot at all. It was just flat-footed landing or heel landing. I gave them 4 stars because I can't fault anything about the way they are made. They offered more stability than I needed (side to side), but I didn't mind that at all. They are just very slow shoes. I have never owned a running pair that felt so slow. I think they could be improved with just a slight curve to the sole so that they roll forward. Sizing: I purchased a 9.5. I jump between a 9.5 and a 10 in Brooks. These fell on the smaller of the two sizes. I thought the width was just fine. The laces were about 6" too long. I had to use that extra set of eyelets at the top of the shoe to use up a few more inches of the laces. These could be perfect shoes for you. I would not recommend these for races or speed work. If you need something soft underfoot and plan to run slow, these are your shoes! My favorite Brooks Shoe: PureCadence 3 I went back and bought a pair of Hyperion Tempo shoes. These feel a bit firmer and fast. These are closer to what I think I need in a running shoe.

After I had kids, I started to order shoes 1/2 size bigger. Seems to work out well with the Adrenalines. This model didn't seem to be as "cushiony" as my last one, but they are still very supportive and provide the stability I need.

Super comfy and guiderails keep my foot where it should be. The color is pretty rad too!

They have helped my feet not roll.

I don?t use them for running I wear them to work which is walking on concrete floors. I had bought the Ghost in 7.5 and felt they were too big and too wide so I ordered the Adrenaline in 7 and the feel a bit short. I have worn Brooks before and love them. I recommend them to those that ask ?which shoes should I buy??

instant comfort !!! excellent support to having to work on cement floors

I have worn Brooks sneakers for years. Even though I wear orthotics and have a narrow foot they fit me the best. This time around there were limited colors is my size.

This is my 3rd pair of Adrenaline GTS and while I can appreciate that the design evolves and can improve, I wish the sizing would stay the same. I bought the same size and width as my previous two pairs and these feel decidedly larger

Overall I really like this running shoe. I think its lightweight, the colors are pretty (although in person the colors were lighter than expected), and I like the ankle security. I think that's a neat feature since I am recovering from an ankle sprain, although one ankle is taking some time getting use to it rubbing but I haven't had any blisters so that's a plus. What I don't like about the shoe is the lack of cushion in the ball of my foot area towards the front. A typical run for me is about 6 miles, some hills and I cant go straight concrete for 6 miles in these. The balls of my feet need more padding that area for me. With that being said I don't think these shoes should be $130, I think that's a little pricey for these. I have a feeling I am going to run through these quickly.

awesome shoes I have several pairs and wear them for work all the time
