Rubs on my lower ankle area and I don’t want to “try” breaking them in for fear the issue will not go away. Such cute shoes but have to return them.

I ordered these because they were one of the few shoes of this type in narrow. I had already worn them several times before I realized they are just a tad too short. And I ordered a half size up as I usually do in athletic shoes. Thankfully, the toe box is wide enough they're not too uncomfortable. I do not run, only walk, for exercise, so that may be helpful. But I will probably not order this brand again. And they are extremely difficult to put on; the heel always folds in and I have to work to pull it up.

I love Brooks adrenaline, however the GTS 21 is not as comfortable as the GTS 20.
I would not buy these.

Spiffy shoes, but the wide was not wide enough and cut my ankle a little. Had to return them. Wish they had fit because they were cushy soles.

Have been wearing Adrenaline GTS shoes for several years. Have returned the GTS 21 shoe. Not comfortable. Toe box is too small. Big change from GTS 20. GTS 21 is also sized shorter.

I wear a 10N and while these shoes are comfortable and fit better than a medium width shoe, they are a smidge wide on my foot. I would not wear them as a running or work out shoe due to not being narrow enough. I did keep the shoe to wear as a knock around shoe and to walk my dog.

I was really looking forward to wearing these shoes. Although they are labeled as wide, they were not wide enough for me. I ordered a 9W, and I guess I'll be an E or EE in these shoes.

So comfortable, but the color was different in person than on the website. It was more of a lighter gray -almost a dust covered black. I returned these and purchased another color. But, fit and comfort were spot on!

I have always worn 7.5 in Brooks - but this one seems to run big. Causing shin splints. Size down.

The toe box has several dents after first walk in there shoes. They are comfortable and look nice but do not like how they look now.

This shoe was very comfortable and fit beautifully. I thought I would like the color but it looked too manly for me.

I had 3 pairs of GTS 20, and loved them. I thought I would love the 21s as well, but my biggest issue is the tongue. The way it is cut rubs against the top of my ankle, and has left blisters. I also don't feel there is as much support in the inner arch. I'm now on the search to buy up all the GTS20s I can find.

Initially, I loved my Brooks Adrenaline 21. As a runner with flat and wide feet, I have struggled to find shoes that supported me and kept feeling good for long runs. When I finally bought the Adrenalines, they were perfect. But about 6 months in, I was out for a hike when the right shoe tore a small hole through the fabric. It has only gotten bigger since. I was really hoping for the price, that these would last me until they were worn down and I am disappointed to find that was not the case.

These are super lightweight. I ordered in the grey and liked it, but compared to the Ghost, the toe box was just not quite as wide, and actually the top of my toes were rubbing the inside of the shoe, if that makes sense. So, sticking with the Ghost.

I have other adrenaline shoes but some of them severely hurt the outside of my ankle bone and I can't work out in them. The side pushes on this bone and is very uncomfortable. This is one of them. Everything else with these shoes is perfect.

Pros…. Provided excellent stability for over pronation and looked really cute…. True to size…
Cons… Toes cramped together and slid to the front when running leaving my big toes sore… Returned these..
I also bought New Balance Fresh Foam and they were much more comfortable…

Not enough arch support for me. Not enough support overall. My feet throbbed after wearing for 1 hour. Returned.

I opened these shoes and tried them on and fell in love! So comfortable. Then I went for a walk, tripped and they ripped. Completely devastated.

These do fit like my other pair. They are almost like clown shoes they are so floppy. I assumed they would be exactly like my others so I tossed the box but now I’m wishing I could return them

I returned these because they are not as attractive as the GTS 19/20. I don’t like how Brooks made the new logo on the side and previous versions seemed to be higher quality.

The shoes look great, have good toe space in the double wide, and good support. The problem is the tongue. It is so long that it sticks up and rubs the front of the leg. Just putting the shoes on without walking hurt, so I can just imagine the blister I would have had trying to walk. I was so disappointed because otherwise, I liked them a lot.
