Customer Reviews Brooks Adrenaline GTS 21

I've had three pairs of Adrenaline GTS shoes so far - one GTS 17 and two GTS 20's - and now the GTS 21. Not a big fan of the 21. I don't like the change(s) from the GTS 20. The tongue, in my opinion, is the worst part. Whereas the GTS 20 has a nice broad tongue, the top of which spreads out across the entirety of the top of the foot, the tongue of the GTS 21 is very narrow and makes for a lack of cushioning on top of the foot. The first few times I ran with my GTS 21's, I noticed discomfort from the tongue being so small, making the top of my foot and the front of my ankle rub against the sides of the inside of the shoe. Not optimum. The GTS 21 also feels considerably lighter and smaller than the GTS 20. I feel like there should technically be the same amount of support... and yet it doesn't feel quite as supportive. Still a pretty decent shoe, just not optimum for my feet/preferences/needs and not as comfortable and supportive and sturdy as the GTS 20, in my opinion.

I have had the Adrenaline GTS 21 for only 6 days now and I couldn't recommend them. The first two days of having these shoes I thought I would really like them. After that when I wear these shoes my feet hurt so bad. When I walk or run in these shoes it feels like pins and needles.

Ordered usual size 7.5, medium. Too tight on toes and too short and had to return shoes. Have looked everywhere for a size 8, wide. Cannot find a pair. What's going on?

This is so strange. I never had an issue before but I had pain while wearing these. The outside edge of my feet on both sides hurt while jogging. I tried running with them for about a week and every time, it hurt.
