These may very well be the most comfortable running shoes I've ever had. It's not my first pair of Brooks, but it is my first pair of Adrenalines. Definite game changers for me!

They recommend a half size larger and I am so glad I did. They fit perfect and are so comfortable. I will definitely be sticking with this brand as they are very good quality.

Heel fell apart after 3 months. I have had 4 versions of the Adrenaline they usedto be so great. These are by far the worst. Looking for a new model shoe now.

All good except I have to get used to wearing what I used to think of as "clunky" shoes. My Doctor recommended these and so I do need to learn to like walking in them. They're sturdy, cushioned and provide excellent arch support. These will be very helpful to my feet.

When I first put them on (12W), I was a little worried they were too big and that I should have gone with an 11.5 W, but I gave them a shot and they have been one of the best purchases I've made for running/workout shoes. I needed something that would be supportive and comfortable for some jogging/walking, but I also mainly take HIIT exercise classes and these are great all around. It's amazing what a difference a really good fitting supportive shoe will make! I'm so glad Zappos has the 30 day run limited option, but I won't be returning these!

Best pair of Brooks yet. I’ve been wearing Brooks and they always change styles when I need a new pair. Either I didn’t realize how bad I needed a new shoes, or these are much improved. Only worn once but so far I love them

I have had many of the Ghost series in the past that worked well, but these Adrenaline are cut too high around the ankle. I tried tying them tightly and loosely, undoing one of the lacing holes; nothing helped. Unfortunately these have to go back. Very cute style and color. Like most Brooks, go up 1/2 a size.

Can’t believe I spent $129 on these squeaky, poorly-made shoes. Brooks used to be my go-to for my pronated ankles and plantar fasciitis. I can’t even wear these for a neighborhood walk, much less a run. No support. My feet actively hurt while wearing them. This is the second pair of Brooks that are squeaky too (read: cheap). I’m guessing now that Brooks has become mainstream, they are speeding up production and taking short cuts but maintaining their price point.

I have to agree with others. I have about 8 pairs of Brooks running shoes. This is the first pair of shoes that just doesn't feel right. This Adrenaline GTS 21 is terrible! Whoever changed the design made a huge mistake! This is the first time my toe rubs in the shoe. The arch is different. I'm still trying to get used to them. Not sure to return them or suffer thru this bad experience. The ariels and the Adrenaline 19 and 20's are my favorite. This 21 model needs to be retired.......

I have been wearing the Brooks Glycerin for the past 5-6 pairs of athletic shoes I’ve owned. I decided to try the Adrenaline GTS because the description said it was a good shoe for pronators. For me, (a pronator since childhood) this was just too much correction, even with my orthotics. They were quite uncomfortable, particularly on my instep. Loved the look of the shoe and wanted them to work, but went back to my Glycerin 19.

Love this shoe. I am not a runner but an avid walker and this shoe provides stability and is very comfortable for my Plantar Fasciitis. Had purchased Ghost but the toe box was not wide enough and exchanged for these. LOVE!

I truly think Brooks are wonderful, comfortable shoes. But toe box is too narrow. I’d purchase multiple pair if the toe box was wider. This is even in a wide width that is to be wide. Therefore they will be returned sadly.
I'd also recommend:
Not sure, as New Balance is the same, narrow toe box. In the past no problems. I feel stuck finding
