Customer Reviews Brooks Adrenaline GTS 21

Fits well but not nearly enough arch support for a high arch.

I have the Brooks Adrenaline 19. Got them for Jazzercise about a year ago. They felt like a dream the minute I put them on; cushioned and great arch support (I have high arches). I read the reviews on the 20s and so many said they were awful so I waited. Saw some reviews on the 21s and they sounded more like the 19s but they aren't. As to the 21s, the toe box is roomy but not as roomy as the 19s and the arch isn't even 1/2 of what the 19s were. I got the white with black speckles. Not sure if different colors are built differently. They are super good looking but nowhere near the build/comfort/support of the 19s. 2019 was my first purchase of Brooks and I could see why people raved over them. Sadly, like most things today, quality isn't consistent. Boggles me how they can have specific names for lines of their shoes. As a customer, you would expect to get the same necessary features just in updated colors and designs. Thank goodness I had a zappos coupon code. I will have to take that savings and invest in a good pair of arch support inserts. So much for actually saving $ on a new pair of shoes for me.

I have been waiting for a GTS similar to the Adrenaline GTS 14 for years. I have a narrow heel, and bunions, and have tried Adrenalines every year since 2014, with no luck. I even resorted to buying used (!) GTS 2014 on Ebay. I've run in these 21's for a month now, and they are the closest thing yet to the GTS 14's. Better motion control and stability than more recent versions. I do agree with the laces digging into ankles a bit, and I wish they had a bit more arch support but overall a very good shoe.

The shoe was beautiful, and the height of it felt good. However, because I have an odd arch, the fit on the right foot was not quite right, and made the bones of my big toe ache all thru the foot. Unfortunately, will need to return them. Thank you, though!!

Great running shoes with support. I overpronate a little and these help correct that. It’s also a bonus that my teenagers told me my running shoes were sick!

These shoes have more support than my other Brooks running shoes. I particularly like the anti-pronation wedge on the arch side of the shoe. They’re still light and perfect for running.

great fit
