So, I've worn the 20s & the 21s for hiking, road walking, and running. I am very prone to suffering from plantar fasciitis and that is how I first came to these shoes. I love them & think they offer great support and stability. I've worn literal holes in these shoes & worn away the tread over about 1300 miles; on average, I've probably gotten about 350-400 miles out of each of them. These shoes have been life-savers for long in-town walks and multi-day backpacking trips. I would definitely recommend the 21s. Although, in my opinion, they are not as cushiony and breathable as the 20s, just something to keep in mind if you're coming from that iteration to this. I do want to note that I still have not bought the 22s - this is because I do not like any of the color choices. I want the shoes to take care of my feet AND look good! I've now switched to a different brand that seems to be doing almost as well but also has pleasing, aesthetic color palettes. I would love for the Brooks team to bring back (or add some new) color palettes to the 22s.

No arch support. This is a very sturdy well made shoe . Both the web site app and the shoe store recommended this shoe for me (plantar fasciitis). But it has no arch support and neither does my right foot. It?s great on a trail but useless on streets, sidewalks or shopping. I don?t run I can barely walk.

Great comfort but did not wear well! Mine only lasted about 5 months before the sole started coming apart.

OMG. These cannot be real Brooks. The interior material started fraying after two (2!) runs. The white foam material in the sole feels very different to all my other Adrenalines (this is my fifth pair), squishier and uneven. The material the shoe is made from also feels very different from my other Adrenaline 21s: it is thinner, less sturdy, and the weave is less strong. Are these fake? Or did Brooks simply use a different factory for this particular color way and get the short end of the stick?

It feels like my feet are cradled in a firm pillow and the advice on getting a half size up was great my feet don?t feel cramped at all.

Nice size toe box for those of us with bunions. The material is very fragile and you can get toe holes really easily.

LOve love love!!!! So comfy and provides so much support in the arch areas. Wearing these make such a big diff in foot pain compared to wearing other shoes without the support.

This shoe was recommended for elderly feet that are supinating. The support is excellent for a 200-pound person, and my feet stay ?planted squarely?. Helps my balance tremendously. Love this shoe!

After using the on site shoe finder the Adrenaline GTS 21 was suggested. The shoe fit well but I found that there was not enough cushioning in the ball of the foot area for my comfort so I had to return the shoes.

I got these brooks running shoes. The first pair she never received. I called the brooks company. The gentleman that I spoke to was so kind and understanding. The second pair my daughter absolutely loves them. I still wonder what happened to the first pair that was sent to her. I think she is hooked on brooks shoes. Thank you for your kindness and understanding.

I have purchased the Adrenaline GTS every year since 2018….these are a great stability show. The run short, like most walking shoes…I wear an 8 1/2 in regular shoes and I buy a 9 1/2 in this walking shoe.

These shoes fit fine. I have 2 pairs. I hate the pink shoe laces but don’t know how to find another color.

The shoes are not as cushioned as my previous pair and that is the specific reason I purchased these shoes. This is my third pair And the pair I just received does not have the cushion the others have.

I love these shoes. I bought my first pair last year, and they did wonders for my knees. I run a few miles multiple times per week. My knees aren't what they used to be, but these shoes felt like I was running on clouds. I came back to order a 2nd pair in a different color. I noticed that this second pair has a higher collar. It is weird because it is the exact same style, just a different color. Unfortunately the higher collar rubs on my bone, so I will be returning. I'm hoping it's just an issue with this specific color. I will reorder in another color hoping that I get one exactly like last year.
I'd also recommend:

This is my 4th pair of these shoes. I love them. I used to get stress fractures in my feet till I my doctor told me to get these. No more fractures. I think they run about 1/2 size small. I usually wear a 7 in almost every shoe I wear, but these are 7 1/2.

Saw other reviews to get a half size bigger but my usual size worked the best for me.
