Customer Reviews Brooks Adrenaline GTS 21

Completely disappointing shoe. I went for a run in these shoes and the toe box is not wide enough for my toes unlike a great pair of Adidas in the same size.

I am a brooks adrenaline fan and have been wearing them for quite a few years. I want to love these but they are really hurting my feet. The are much wider than the previous model. They also seem less supportive. The cushioning is great tho.

The shoe ram really big in length and width. I have been wearing launch for years and decided to try this shoe but I couldn't;t wear it. I tried a half size smaller and the width felt better but the length was too short. Very disappointed.

Nice colors but shoe was uncomfortable, no matter how long I tried to break it in. Think I’m going to try another brand. Not having any luck with Brooks lately. Used to be my go to brand.

I have been using Brooks Adrenaline GTS for years. Get new ones every year. Never had a problem with the fit. Not only did they seem so short, but they certainly were not wide. I ordered the white ones in the same size and they fit fine. The black and white ones did not. I also do not like that my big toe looked like it was going to break through at any time. this is the same reason I did return the white sneakers. No support over the big toe area that the GTS 19 were so good at doing. I hope I do not have to find another company because I love the GTS. But this year is not my favorite. I did, however, order the six ten. Will see if that fits any better.

I have worn the Brooks Adrenaline for several years. I buy at least 2 pairs a year. The 21’s were way too wide in the toe box and hurt my feet after the first wear. I’m very disappointed.

I’ve purchased this shoe before and for some reason after only wearing it for a short while they are already loosing their shape and support. This did not happen with my old pair which I still wear.

I really wanted these to work out, having been devoted to this shoe line since the GTS 17s. But unfortunately the 21s have introduced a flexible toe box, and a weird extra bit of fabric where the toes meet the rest of the shoes, and that area has been giving me blisters for weeks. I even exchanged my shoes for the exact same model, in case I got a defective pair at first. But I'm having the same problem with the second pair so it's looking like I'm going to have to skip the 21s and try again with next year's model.

I've been wearing the Brooks GTS shoes for years. My current ones are the 19s, and I ordered the 21 to replace it. Not happy with this style at all. First of all, the back part is taller than the 19s, so will rub against the back of the leg higher up on the achilles tendon and I can't imagine that would be comfortable. The area with the lace holes did not feel very reinforced - pretty flimsy compared to the 19s. But by far the worst part of this new 21 version is that the inside curve at the back of the shoe is not rounded, but comes to a point. So you can't get your heel fully back into the shoe right out of the box, and as a result, your foot is forced forward. So even though I've worn a 10D in the GTS for several versions, this one felt too small because I'm being forced forward. I don't know if that would relax during wear, but the shoe would be unwearable at this size as a result. I'm already in a wide, and I'd probably have to go up 1/2 to a full size to make it fit, and then I'd assume it would fit improperly in other areas. I took my old shoes and lined up the bottom with this new shoe, and the size is exactly the same, so it's definitely an issue with the design, not the size. I returned them and will see if another style is any better, or wait to see if they improve things in the next version.

Fit was good. It felt like the middle was giving way as I walked, even using orthotic insoles. A good looker, but no support!

I had 2 triple arthrodesis surgeries on my right and left foot did months of therapy didn't like the glycerin 18 with attached tongue so moved to the adrenaline and since wearing them my Achilles' tendon and both top and sides of my surgical feet the pain was unbearable so I kept going back for therapy until I came back to the glycerin and like magic my feet are so happy the adrenaline was not cushioned enough and it was causing Achille and back pain like bad so these sneakers almost ruined me that is why I'm returning my very last pair!!
