I am not a runner; just an old lady with crummy feet. I keep buying bigger shoes until they are so large and heavy I fall over them. Glad to find Adrenalines are reasonable size and light in weight. They help my balance.

My feet feel so protected! I used to be in so much pain after walking in my old shoes. I don?t feel a thing after walking miles in these!

I love the support, but I have to say, these aren't as squishy as I had hoped.

I am not a runner, but I really like the Brooks Adrenaline for a stability shoe. This is my third pair. I was disappointed with the color. The picture made them look black and red, bit they are charcoal and mauve.

I bought these because I was looking for a good running shoe since last fall as my normal running shoes were practically falling apart. Once I started running in these I noticed that my toe didn't rub up so much against the fabric of the shoe and create a rash like my other shoes had. I also noticed that my knees, ankles and hips weren't as sore as they usually are. I thought it might just be because I haven't been pushing myself as hard as I was before, but I'm pretty sure the shoes are just really good for my joints. They also support my high arches really well. I think the arch might be back a little further in the shoe than my foot has, but it's still nice to have the support. I ordered half a size smaller than my normal size and it fit just right.

I purchased these for work. I spend 9 hours a day on concrete floors walking 7ish miles a shift as a retail manager. My feet used to hurt beyond words. The Adrenaline GTS made being on my feet easier. My only complaint is that after 4 weeks they seem to be stretching, but I just wear thicker socks.

This style shoe was recommended to me by my doc to help with some plantar fasciitis, and I love them. Totally worth the price, they’re a high-quality, comfy shoe. My custom size 11 orthotics fit snuggly in the size 11 shoe.
My only complaint is that my orthotic inserts squeak in them. Not sure if that’s the orthotic or the shoe, but a little bit of baby powder seemed to fix the issue.

This Brooks Adrenaline GTS21 is advertised as being for the overpronator. This fit was good but I found that it lacked the cushioning of the New Balance 940, especially in the heel. I will keep the NB.
I'd also recommend:
New Balance in this case.

My whole body loves these shoes! Some shoes produce pain in knees, ankles, and/ or feet. I have no pain at all now and highly recommend! I took off 1 star because of the color options. Wide only colors just isnt fair!!

I liked everything about these shoes except the cut around the ankle. It was too high for me, especially in the back.

Comfy. The inserts were good but I still swapped them out for a different pair of inserts for even more arch support. I like the shoe but should have gotten a darker color as the gray is very light and shows everything!! Overall I would recommend the shoes.

Most comfortable shoe I?ve ever had. I have a wide foot so thankful for the extra widths. I deducted one star because the heel material needs to be a bit thicker/stronger. My first pair wore the back of heels thru to the plastic stabilizer

I love the look of it and it's a comfortable shoe for walking. But I found that it might have too much support for me and caused some issues for running which was my primary reason for getting them. Talked with a Brooks rep and they were helpful in figuring out what might be a better shoe for me.

I have been running in this shoe since 2009. A few years ago the toe box was change but going up a half sized helped. I ordered the 21 since my 20s had a lot of miles on them and they are a little different. The tongue is the very first thing I noticed. It is not as wide as all my other pairs and feels different when laced up. These definitely have more cushion. My first few runs I wasn?t sure about the cushion but with more miles it is feeling more like normal. There were not a lot of color choices. Over the years I have loved the bright fun colors to choose from but this batch was dull but I couldn?t wait til the next season comes out so I had to pick. The violet ones are nice but I like bold. Overall they will work for my training but I?d like the old tongue shape back and bright fun colors

I am an overpronator and have to wear orthotics in my shoes. When I first received my Adrenaline GTS 21 they looked a little narrow. I wore them around for about 2 weeks and they did stretch out and are now pretty comfortable to wear. I have some Adrenaline GTS 20's and the toe box was wider. You just never know from year to year when they tweak the model you like if they will fit the same. At least when you order from Zappos you have the option of a free return.

I bought these for walking the pup, because they came up in a blog I found. They work well, and my knee pain seems to be dissipating. I didn?t give them 5 stars because they seem to be collecting debris even when we?re only walking on side walks. No one likes rocks in their shoes...

I absolutely loved my adrenaline 20, but I felt like these adrenaline 21s were a little wider on top. Still going to give them a four out of five rating. Huge fan of Brooks!

Okay these fit fine in my regular size but they are not Brooks Adrenaline 11s, my all time favorite Brooks shoe.

This shoe is so comfortable and supportive, however, the additional padding from the previous model makes it a tad smaller in size. Overall a wonderful shoe.

I wear a 9N and have a very narrow heel. These shoes fit virtually the same as the Ghost 13 and Addiction 14 styles. All 3 fit acceptably well, and felt remarkably similar. However, I decided to keep the Ghosts since they seemed to provide a touch more support and stability. These might work better for you, though, so definitely check them out if you have narrow feet.

The shoe is comfortable. I have had glycerin 17 last purchase. They have a little more toe space and the heel seems to have more cushion. I am just a walker but I love Brooks shoes. I am alternating between the two pairs now
