I have a pair of Adrenaline 19 and 20. Both shoes have worked well for me. The 20 is better than the 19. I assumed the 21 would be an improvement over 20. Not so! The shoes look good and fit well. After wearing these shoes for two days my back hurt so bad it was difficult to get up from a sitting position. I let my feet rest and wore them again. Same back pain. Ordered another pair of Ghost 13 and returned the Adrenaline GT21. The pair I have now are my favorite. Thank you Zappos for your customer service. You are the best!

This shoe is "just ok." For the price point, I am very disappointed with the quality, as it feels like Brooks cut every corner possible between the 20 and the 21. The sides of the shoes feel much thinner, and even hurt my feet when I first was getting accustomed to them. The cushion and arch support also feel significantly decreased between the 20 and 21. I am very disappointed with the quality, especially for what Brooks has charged for them. Can you please stop "tweaking" something good, passing off downgrades as improvements? If something is good, just stick with it. After a few disappointments, this is my last pair of Brooks.

Not as comfy as the 20, the tongue hits my calf/ankle weird and it's not fun. Returned.

The shoes fit well, but the rubber sole is falling off.

These shoes are very comfortable and I love the style. The only (but big) downfall is that I have really narrow feet, and these have just a bit too much width in them.

The running shoe could have more support in it around the arch. Also, I love the tongue of the shoe as it is sort of triangular which prevents the tongue from slipping.

I really appreciate getting good shoes in my size: 12 Womens. Color and design good. Pretty good fit, nice cushioning, but too wide. The fit advice said B width is Med but these are more like C-D even with athletic socks. The arch support is ok but not great for high arches like mine.

An okay shoe. Not as stable as I would like - I find my right foot pronating, when I did not have that problem in my previous shoe (not Brooks.)

Do not feel as supportive as last years version. Arch & heel support seem to be lacking.

They do not seem to be as cushioned as the Adrenalines I have bought in the past.

Heel Slipping even when changing insoles out. Collar of shoe too firm. This shoe keeps changing and so do my feet.

I ordered my normal 8W but this pair was a little too short and too loose around the ankles. I really, really loved the look and wanted so badly for them to fit

These are comfortable but a bit clunky and wear through really quickly. Not a fast shoe but good for long distance.

I personally love my GTS 2020's but not so crazy about the 2021's, they fit different and I do not care of ro the color and was unable to get a color I wanted. Thanks

I like the shoe but I need more support throughout. I need something with more padding. I get a pain in my left shin and heel then my right knee when I run. Lot of it is improper form but was hoping these shoes would lighten the impact

These feel like they already have a ? flat? in one heel. Very disappointed as I have only worn them three times !

I like the Adrenaline 20 much better. I don't like the new shape of the tongue, the rounded shape was more comfortable. The heal padding seems like it is thinner, also. Disappointing.
