I don't like these shoes they look as if they came out of the dumpster. I tried scrubbing them and they still look very dirty! The fit is okay but the heels collapsed from trying to put them on without a shoe horn!

I've been wearing Glycerine (my first pair of Brooks shoe) for over a year now and am very happy with it , however , I thought I'd switch to Adrenaline GTS 21. I am disappointed after trying this because it does not feel as comfortable and has a hard inside compared to the pair I currently have. I'm really bummed about this cuz I like Brooks.

I wear these 3 days a week on average (only to work) and have owned them 5 months. For the price I had hoped they would be more durable, but the fabric upper is so thin I have had a hole in the top over my toe for the last two months. Also, the light weight fabric upper does not protect my foot from the strain of the laces. After 5 months I still struggle to get them tied just right, so I am getting the support but not cutting off my circulation. I have not been impressed with the performance of these shoes on any level.

I had previously written a review of this shoe, praising it. I am now taking that back. I need more support/cush. I feel like I am walking on the ground. There isn't enough support for my liking. AND the shoe really does feel about half size smaller that i would like, I normally wear a 12W. I guess I just want more shoe. I will be keeping them, but I think I am going to go back to my New Balance.

Bought my 21's in July. Already have a small hole above one of my toes and the inner pads are already wearing down. I have been wearing adrenaline's exclusively since I pronate severely. They have been the only shoe that doesn't cause me terrible pain when I am on my feet all day. However, this pair doesn't seem to last as long. I usually get a little over a year out of them. Less than 5 months and I already feel that I need new shoes :(

It’s weird. The first hour, they felt fine, but after three or four hours, I couldn’t stand them. After a week of trying, I put them away $149.00!! Just sitting on the shelf. Didn’t save box, so not returnable :-(

I so loved ASICS until they gave up 2A.

These shoes are not worn out but I already have a hole in the fabric above my toes. So disappointing. I do find them comfortable so I gave them 3 stars but I don't know if I want to spend that much money on another pair to just get another hole in the same place.

Found the adrenaline gts21 a fair fit roomy in toe but a bit too springy for me. There tends to be a bend or crease in the toe counter that could be uncomfortable. Did return

I’m not crazy about the material of the shoe and I am finding something is at the top of the shoe making it uncomfortable on the inside of big toe, the added material or something

I have been wearing Brooks adrenaline GTS 20 and love everything about them -I thought the GTS 21 would be the same. This shoe is NOT the same. The tongue wasn’t cut to form to the foot and there was extra padding in the heel which changed how the foot hit in the shoe making it a bad fit for me. I may need to try other styles again to find the one that is right for me- and when I do, my hope is the manufacturer doesn’t feel the need to change it.

All good except I have to get used to wearing what I used to think of as "clunky" shoes. My Doctor recommended these and so I do need to learn to like walking in them. They're sturdy, cushioned and provide excellent arch support. These will be very helpful to my feet.

I have had many of the Ghost series in the past that worked well, but these Adrenaline are cut too high around the ankle. I tried tying them tightly and loosely, undoing one of the lacing holes; nothing helped. Unfortunately these have to go back.
Very cute style and color. Like most
Brooks, go up 1/2 a size.

I have about 5 pairs of the 19 version because they were my favorite. The tongue of this version (21) is my absolute least favorite. These also feel ?clunkier?.

These are terrible compared to the 20 version! They feel heavy, stiff, and not flexible at all. Cushioning is horrible. My legs start hurting a mile into my run. If my 20s weren't so beat up, I'd go back to them in a heartbeat!

I've been wearing the Adrenalines for the last several years, but this newest model isn't lasting long at all. I have purchased 3 pairs this year and they have only lasted 3-4 months, average 3 miles a day, before the tread on the bottom is completely gone at the ball of my foot. And the foam on the inside sole of the shoe is wearing quickly and developing holes. Also this version is rubbing the back of my ankle and giving me blisters when the older versions have not. I will pay a higher price for good quality shoes, but now this model is wearing out way too quickly.

Received 1 pair of the shoes in a repackaged box and they had already been worn by someone. There was no packing material in or around the shoes and the soles are not clean. This pair is being returned. The 2 other pairs I ordered in different colors were new and packaged appropriately. They fit well but seem to have a little less cushion in the front than the previous Ghost models. I've been wearing Brooks for many years and have liked them all.
