One of if not the best feeling shoes I ever put on my feet

Overall love it! I ordered the narrow and this is comfortable with my own arch supports inserted. However, I did have to reorder one size smaller as it runs large.

I am not a runner, but an old lady with very big feet. I am grateful that this shoe came in a size 13 for women. I have worn men's Brooks and they are too wide and leave me unsupported after a few weeks. These are comfortable and do a much better job of keeping my left from sloshing around in the shoe. Please keep making size 13 for women with big feet, like mine.

Like the shoes, wish I could have ordered a 12.5. I typically wear a 12, but that was to small and 13 is just a little to big.

Very comfortable. Just wish they would reinforce over the toes as this is where they wear out... toes poke through fabric.

I love Brooks shoes! I only gave it 4 stars because I need an extra wide shoe because I have severe bunions. This particular style was not available in an extra wide when I purchased them. I am on my feet for 10 hour shifts at a time and I have lots of issues with my bunions and especially my right foot because of previous injuries. Brooks overall are the most comfortable I have ever worn!

comfy! bought these for work and I think I'm going to like them. They feel a bit roomy. If I ordered again I would go a half size down from my usual.

I ordered these Brooks Adrenaline GTS 21 ‘s in a 9 as well as ordering a pair of Brooks Glycerin 18 in a size 8.5. I kept the glycerin and returned these. I usually wear a 8.5 but didn’t know how these would fit. They are true to size and an 8.5 would have fit perfectly. The 9 was not overly big but I did not like the look of the shoe as well in person. It just looked rather large on my foot, maybe because it was a size bigger, maybe because of the pattern. The cushion in the sole was what I was hoping for and felt very comfortable. The shoe is a nice shoe and I like the fact that the outer sole is a dark color instead of white as I don’t like the look of shoes when the outside of the shoes get dirty. You can clean the uppers, but the bottom part never comes all the way as clean. With that portion being the black part of this shoe, it was a great color combination for me. Overall I liked the shoe but didn’t love it.

I usually run in Glycerin 18's and 19's because of their plush and flexible feel. I was was looking for something more stable that wasn't a Transcend. I loved how stable and corrective they feel when walking and with flat ground running. I wish there was more padding under the ball of the foot and general shock absorption as I definitly feel the impact through my knees in these with running, especially downhill. After running a familiar hilly course in these my feet felt bruised for almost a week and was worried I developed a stress fracture. Ive never experienced this in my Glycerins before. Nice shoe for easy, slow, flat runs. Not ideal in my opinion for someone who likes a little more plush cushioning through the entire foot bed.

I bought the wide D width. Only wore them twice so far, but feel pretty comfortable and light weight.

I am a 78 year old walker, not a runner, and Brooks shoes are the best ones to accommodate my orthotics and have minimal slippage in the heel. The Adrenaline GTS 21 is my favorite model. My only complaints are that the soles wear down way too fast and the length of the shoestrings between purchases is not the same. I have learned to measure the strings in the newest pair before getting rid of the old ones and making a transfer if necessary.

I had been walking in the GTS 18 - the new shoe fits a little differently, seems to be a little narrower - laces are way too long for me. That said, the shoes are comfortable , cushioned but supportive and your customer service ie excellent! My daughter ordered this first but in wrong size., the return was painless! Both orders came very quickly! I also ordered the Transend 7 at my daughter?s suggestion and they might be the perfect shoe!!! I am not an athlete, I only walk daily and I?m a big person. I was plagued with bilateral planter fasciitis as a nurse several years ago and started to look for a shoe that would work for me. Tried some other brand names and then tried Brooks and I?m glad I did.

I like these shoes for their attractiveness and supportive sole, but would prefer more arch support and a wider, higher toe box for my bunion and hammer toe. I?m using the inserts from a different type of Brooks sneaker in order to increase the arch support.

I have a high arch and need a shoe horn to put them on. The GTS 20 fit better but cant find it in a 6.5 W size......

Great fit and comfy but my all time fav are the Brooks Transcend. Can't wait to try the replacement for Transcend. There are no other running shoes for me...Brooks are the best.

I?ve been wearing brooks gts for years. Always just get the new model every year. As expected these are great. Not sure if they run a bit bigger then past gts models? I always purchase a 1/2 size larger and these seem rooming in the toe but purchased online and rather a little big then small. Maybe if I tried them on in the store I would have gone with my normal size. Overall happy with my purchase.

I love this shoe and have been using the Adrenaline GTS model for about five years or so. This new iteration definitely felt different than models past. Definitely has the support, my first run in them felt like my feet were in rocking chairs. Something about the structure however, feels harder and more prominent around my foot which I?m not enjoying as much as I did with previous models (Last pair were 19s).

Well I love the style and color. They are great for my circuit/spin class but they feel a bit wide in the toe base and just a tad too big in toe base. Of course always order half size bigger in sports shoes. They don’t feel as supportive for walking as my Transcends which I wore out during pandemic. I like them don’t love them.

I've been wearing GTS Adrenaline's for the past 5 years, wearing a 8.5W . . . Unless I got a factory mistake the show seems at least half a size smaller. I compared to my 2020's and they looked to be about half a size smaller.

I’ve had several pair of GTS 19 wide which fit perfect. These do run slightly more narrow.

LOVE my shoes! I?m on my feet 12 hours a day, and BROOKS are the only shoes that keep me from becoming fatigued. I?m a 9.5 and the cute animal prints are always sold out. :( i shop the men?s line for the neon colors, 8s usually sold out :( I love the black & white, but wanna spice it up in the spring and summer :).

I am an older runner I do appreciate the support. I am not a fan of heel drop to much. These shoes do need 20 miles plus for break in. I have worn GTS before they get good with wear.
