Best shoes ever! I have always bought Brooks for over 20 years. They fit my foot better than any brand. This time due to Covid I bought on line rather than a local store. For the first time I ordered a 9 wide instead of 9 regular and I love them. Always a Brooks fan.

I am not a runner now. I wish I could run, but I have plantar fasciitis. These shoes are helping me cope with plantar fasciitis, and I am very grateful.

Love these shoes. I previously used a different style shoe and was starting to have foot pain, but after switching to these shoes I have not had any pain.

They are well made, just nit made for my foot or knees. I love brooks and love my glycerin.

I have run in Adrenalines for 10 years. I am sooo disappointed in this incarnation. The shoe digs into the area just above my left ankle as the shoe itself is very firm in that spot. I tried another pair to see if it was just that pair, but the next pair did the same thing. I?m going to buy up my size in the Adrenaline 20s to tide me over until the 22s come out. :-) The Brooks staff has been really helpful in resolving my issue, and I would give them six stars if I could.

I wear orthotics and have been wearing the GTS for about five years. I like it for its stability and anti-pronation features. My only complaint about the shoe is that it seems every other year Brooks does a poor job of "upgrading" the shoe and it doesn't even feel like it's made by the same company. This happened with the GTS 18 and now, most recently the GTS 20s. The GTS 20s did not fit my feet and the toe box felt cramped and low. Because of this, I had to wear my GTS 19s much longer than I would have preferred. You can imagine my glee when Brooks announced the arrival of the GTS 21s. They fit perfectly! I've run in them about six times so far and I've not needed a break-in period. Because I worry about what Brooks will do to the GTS in 22, I have already ordered a second pair of the 21s to make sure I can comfortably go for over a year, if need be. I am a low mileage runner (2-3 miles a day) with very bad feet, so I am thrilled with this new shoe that fits like the GTS 19.

They were comfortable but not as attractive as the previous version.

They are not made the same as the 19. They are too narrow and that is for the medium width, my orthotics (which fit in the old pair) do not fit in these! Purchased a pair of the 20 and 21 neither one of them worked. Sent them both back, unhappy. Also the colors are outrageous!! What happened to the plain old navy blue with a little bit of color not all these wild colors!! Appears you are just catering to the younger crowd and not middle-aged people who really have bad feet. I have worn Brooks for the last 7 years, going to have to find something else if it doesn't change.

I love the Adrenalin and have been wearing it for several years. I only gave 4 stars because they do not seem to carry the good colours in wide width shoes. There is a very limited selection. I am mostly a walker and not a run/jogger anymore, but this one still seems best for everyday and exercise.

Love the feel of the adrenaline 21. Roomy and light. Feel like I'm running on air. Love Brooks.

I was replacing my worn out Asics Gel Kayano 25s which I loved, but whose successor 26 was cut short on size and comfort. These Brooks are a very comfy fit, look good and, at a solid $30 or more savings over my former buy. Bought these based on a running store assessment of my feet and gait coupled with a friend's recommendation. So far, I'm very pleased with Brooks.

I wear adrenalines year after year. Like any brooks adrenaline, I ordered a 1/2 size up for a good fit. Immediately they felt great!

This is the perfect walking shoe for me. I use a slim Aetrex insole instead of Brooks removable insole. I think the colors offered are atrocious except for the one they instantly ran out of stock. Who picks these color combinations?! But I’m very happy with the fit and comfort level. Highly recommend if you can stomach the color choices.

I love Brooks Adrenaline for the cushiony comfort and great arch support. These have been my go-to running and every day shoes for years. I try others and but these are the best.

Love the adrenaline but dislike the "softer" sides of this model, less support and makes the shoe feel cheap. I'm wondering if it will make it the same mileage as older models.

I love the adrenaline gts and have worn them for years. This version felt a little narrow in the toe box for a wide width than the past versions. Love the smaller tongue. And it feel like there’s more cushion in the ball of the foot than in the past.

I have both the black and the white pair and I also have a gray pair of the Adrenaline GTS 20. I love these shoes and wear them constantly for comfort. I am a bit disappointed though that a new color, Color: 592 - Hushed Violet/Alloy/Copper only comes in medium width. It would be wonderful if new offerings came in all widths.
