They are not as comfortable fitting as the 1st ones I bought. Also not fond of the shoe strings.

They are a nice light weight pair of shoes that will work well in the summer here in the Northwest. I dislike the cheaper construction, the fabric that breaks down at the ankle collar and else where. I am disappointed in the overall shoe construction....a long time Ariel wearer from years back.....this is not a great replacement....hyperflexion doesn't provide promised stability.....sad....probably won't buy them again...it is a product that has given way to cheaper materials and less durability...you've apparently accomplished your goal....

Sides of the shoe came up too high and rubbed against my ankle. Front part of the shoe too wide. Did not fit my foot well at all.

Well l don't use them for running i use them for work. I stand alot. They aren't very comfortable. I know it might be my socks. I do appreciate how they hug you when you slide your foot in and they never come untied.

Overall they are very supportive shoes, too supportive in the arch for me. My only other complaint is the shoe his me in the ankle bones, they come up higher than most other tennis shoes. Also wasn't a huge fan of the colors (ordered grey/light blue, and black/maroon) the black/maroon were more dull/guy like than in the picture. I prefer the Adrenaline GTS 20 support wise. The GTS 21 is not a bad shoe if you need support, just wasn't right for me!

I wanted to love these shoes as I have some exactly like them in lighter color. My lighter colored ones feel perfect; however, I have placed 2 different orders for the black Brooks Adrenaline GTS 21, and in both pairs, in the left shoe on the upper left side before the laces the stitching is rough. For the first hour or so it is not a big deal, but after about 6 hours, I felt the pain! I have just given up and found a black GTS 20 elsewhere. I feel like all black GTS 21 must have the same rough stitching in the left shoe. Again, I really loved the shoe, but the stitching felt like it was wearing a hole in my foot. Sad! I am a loyal Zappos shopper and hated to purchase elsewhere! This is not Zappos' fault; it is the manufacture's mistake.
I'd also recommend:
only Brooks

I love this shoe - I?ve had several seasons of adrenalines and all have been wonderful and there were usually some decent color options. For the 21 though, awful color choices. I bought one pair just to get me through but am hoping for more vibrant options (not just in traditional feminine colors - maybe bright greens, blues, and/or orange. Loved the blue with orange from the 20s!

This shoe is comfortable and supportive for my wide wide feet with high arches. It only comes in one color that makes the shoe look huge. It looks like a shoe a great grandmother would wear. I would like it better in a darker color.

They are pretty high in the rear and lower in the front which takes some getting used to. Feel like their needs to be more support in rhe front of the shoe. I can feel my toes against the ground.

I do not like them nearly as much as the Brooks Adrenaline GTS19s. I don't feel like they have as much support or cushion as the 19 s. They are also a bit higher at the back of the shoe so it irritates the achilles area. I like that they are lightweight, but my feet ache after a 2 mile walk. I still wear them, but not for walking any distance.

I like the fit of the Adrenaline 19 and 20 better than the 21. They also make my feet really hot.

Too small. I normally wear a size 8 in running shoes and have about two finger widths of space for my toes. I ordered an 8 in these and my toes were squished. Size up.

I love the width - it felt great which is hard for me to find, however the shoe lacks responsiveness and the arch support was not enough for what I need. It's not a bad shoe, just felt like it took more energy to run in these shoes than it should have. My feet ached after a run.

This was my third pair if adrenaline, once I cut the material that held down the tongue on the 21 they were much better. It was putting too much pressure on my foot and my toes went numb. Once it wasn't pushing down on the top of my I love them!

I am a little disappointed about the new Adrenaline 2021; I loved the 2020 model but the 2021 it's not a good fit for me. It feels too big and wide compared with the 2020 model; I tried a 1/2 size down and did not work either. I am sending them back!

I loved the look of this shoe. With the inner sole replaced with my shoe inserts, the shoe was to tight across my instep. I had to return them .

This shoe is much narrower in width than the GTS 20. I take a 7 wide to compensate for bunions. And this shoe is more snug than last year?s model. Also with this shoe, the laces are much too short ... it is not the same length as in the GTS 20. My last is a suggestion, it seems the 7W does not have too many colors to choose from...it would be really nice to have a variety of colorful shoes rather than just gray, white or black.

I LOVED the look of these shoes. I normally wear a 10.5 or 11 and the 11 fit better in this shoe. I was super uncomfortable by the end of the day because of the padding in this shoe. I have wide, VERY flat feet, and the arch and pronation support was in unbearable by the end of the day. I wish these came in a neutral version because I LOVED how cute they are.

The style/color is great, however, the support and comfort is just not there. Back to the Adrenaline 20’s. Also the shoe rubs on the inside of my ankle.
