This was the first time I tried Brooks. I really liked everything about these shoes, except for the width of the toe box. The size was perfect, so the next size down would not have fit. I walked around the house for just a few minutes when the front half of my foot started sliding side to side. Sadly they are going back and I doubt if I will try Brooks again.

Definitely order 1/2 size up if you are on the border between sizes. I like that these shoes are supportive and flexible and I personally really like the flat, stretchy shoe laces (although I can see that runners often complained about them, I am a walker so they are good for me). Not waterproof, so if we get rain I can't wear them outside, which would be a disadvantage. But comfortable with good arch support and room for orthotics.
I ordered these shoes because of PTTD, hope they help. There was only one color left in my size, so even though I have only worn these a few hours and inside, I ordered another pair just in case these work -- because other reviewers said that Brooks often changes their model significantly each year. We shall see.... REALLY appreciate Zappos' return policy!!! If these don't work, I will send back, but hoping they do work!

These are the second pair of Brooks running shoes my wife have purchased. I don’t think she’ll go to another brand for a long time. Light weight, great support and comfortable to where all day. She love them!

Fit and sizing are on target. The material breathes and is comfortable to wear.

Great shoe! I used to solely run in Brooks Glycerin's years ago, then switched to the Ghost, but in the last year I have needed a shoe that has some additional support because I am now over pronating and have tendonitis in my glutes (it sucks getting older and having a changing running form). I was impressed with the Adrenaline 21 as soon as I put it on. It was super comfortable, had good support and I love the stretchy shoe laces. I initially purchased the 22's, but am returning those as the 21's and 22's are night and day difference. I have run a few miles in these as I am still healing from my running injury, but have been wearing them at work and have no complaints! I am hoping when Brooks come out with the 23's that they go back to a similar design as this one.

I’ve been wearing Brooks GTS for about 5 years and just buy the new model and they have fit perfectly. I’m not sure why the toe box on these were way narrower than previous pairs. I was unable to wear them without my toes going numb and hurting the top of my foot. Very sad to return them… not sure what to get now.

2nd pair. Great for high arches, especially mid foot strikers.

I have had to order a half size larger than I normally wear in the Brooks Adrenaline shoes, but other than that they fit perfect and are very comfortable.

The Brooks Adrenaline has been my go-to trainer for the past 5 years. It's extremely comfortable and supportive during short and ultra runs

The size was perfect. I normally buy this brand and style. I ordered the GTS21 because the GTS22 are too wide on me-they changed the design.

I LOVE these shoes. They've eliminated any joint pain running has caused me and allow me to run farther. I have high arches and overpronate, and these shoes provide amazing support for that. I've had them for almost a year (used for running (3+ miles) and hiking (5+ miles) and am just now thinking they need to be replaced. Will definitely buy another pair.

I've run several marathons and ultra marathons and will always stick to my Brooks Adrenaline GTS. They are the only shoe that offers me the support I need without the added bulk.

I have a very hard time walking unless the shoe is perfect. This one is almost perfect. I was using the Brooks Ghost 13, tried the Ghost 14 those are way too stiff. These, however, work very nicely. I am able to walk comfortably and it feels like I am walking on a cloud. Very comfortable. I walk nearly 30 miles a week so I need to have a shoe that accommodates my foot. This one does. In order to get adequate toe space I ordered the wide shoe. I normally wear an 8M, but went with 8W and that works perfectly.

Area around ankle bone was too high and rubbed against bone. Like the color, but need to return because of the higher cushion around ankle.
