So far so good! I’ve ran and walked at various paces and these are extremely comfortable and bouncy! For the first time in a while I’m not dealing with shin splints and pain in my soles after a long walk or run. Only thing I would change is the design, unfortunately Brooks doesn’t offer much there in the aesthetic department but functionally these are some of the best shoes can get if you like running or walking in the outdoors.
I'd also recommend:

Brooks Adrenaline are my favorite shoes. I over pronate, and these provide great stability

This is my favorite all-time sneaker. I had a pair for the past four years for workouts and realized I could get two new pairs and use them for everything - Nikes don't hold a candle to these in terms of comfort! They have just the right amount of cushion and support for my feet, no matter what I'm doing.

These are my first pair of Brooks that I was dissatisfied with and had to return. I've worn Adrenaline before so I'm not sure what changed, however, the tops of the shoes were extremely uncomfortable for me to the point I could not wear the shoes even for casual wear. This was disappointing as I really loved the look of the shoe.

This is my last pair of Brooks. I’ve worn these less than 200 miles and there are already holes in the back of the shoe, which then ruin all my socks. I’ve had this happen with several pairs of Brooks, and I’m over it. They’re too expensive for such poor quality.

These are super comfortable with great support. They aren’t hideous but I do wish they were a little more stylish.

To be honest I use these to walk and at the gym on an AMT as I have plantar fasciitis and they were the shoes the podiatrist said I should wear. If I wear anything else my feet hurt horribly. I have found that my feet have gotten wider and had to order a 10.5 as it was all they had last time and realized they were more comfortable than a 10 now. Therefore, I ordered that size again and am very pleased. The only thing I wish is that I could have gotten them in white(my preferred choice), but the gray color has been fine and hopefully won't show the stains I always end up getting when I stray off path onto the red clay here and there.

I usually run in the Ghost shoe, but due to an injury, I switched to the Adrenaline 20, and it was working for me. I bought the Adrenaline 21 and my knees hurt just walking in them. The rear foot is more rigid and the forefoot support is gone. My forefoot moves all over the place and that hurts my knees. The shoes also feel hard and not cushioned at all. My knees and thighs were sore after the first run. On the plus side, I like the look.

I love the fit of my Brooks GTS shoes. It has great shoelaces that stay tied. Now, if I only can get them to stop squeaking when I walk with my orthotic insoles inserted. Roomy toe box which makes walking pain free.

I had a 4-5 yr old pair of brooks. Knees were bothering me. I think the older pair were a more rigid shoe. Loved them and hope to get a good walking distance out of these also.

So comfortable and I feel like there?s more room in the toe box, but the only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars is I hate the shoelaces. They?re awful. I have to replace them.

I have 2 pairs of this shoe in different colors. They fit the foot perfectly and give great support but don’t look bulky! I get many compliments on their looks as well!

Great shoe for running short distances for me. It's my new favorite! I like these a lot more than the Ghost ones I also purchased recently.

I have been wearing this brand/model for 6 years. Every new model just seems to get better! Great support, snug heal, 10mm drop? great on the road, grass or gravel. Just enough spring and support to make your walk/run the best.

These are my favorite. I dont like the new style of the adrenaline 21 so I have been looking everywhere to get them. I have doubles on some of them now. I had foot surgery, had the entire bottom of my foot cut open and these are the only shoe I can wear without being in alot of pain.

I love these shoes! They are keeping my feet in the proper alignment & I am not having the foot pain I previously had from pronation.

I've been a fan of this shoe model for many years and currently have 4 pairs that I wear (2 GTS 2019 and 2 GTS 2020). The GTS 21 has a narrower tongue which doesn't work for me. Haven't checked out the GTS 2022 but hope it's been corrected.

I always order one size up in the Adrenaline style and they fit perfect every time. They feel light on my feet and I love the mesh style. The vibrant color of turquoise with navy trim n pink laces look awesome!! Love this shoe!!!
