I love the look and fit of these, put a little spring in my step? They look great with my scrubs and my feet weren’t as fatigued as usual. Get a 1/2 size larger. I would definitely recommend.

These shoes are SO very comfortable while supplying just the right amount of support. I have worn the GTS 19's for several years and moved to the 21's with no regrets other than price! The base is firm yet comfortable. I believe I have found the perfect shoe for my walking addiction. I do not run, but walk at a very fast pace and with purpose. Highly recommend these shoes!

This is my 3rd pair of these sneakers. They are so comfortable and give great support for running. I am almost always a size 6, but I get a 6.5 and they fit perfectly!

I love these shoes! Comfortable. True to size. I purchased the patriotic themed tennis shoes as well as the black ones with the light pink piping/trim.
I love them both and would highly recommend this brand.

Great! my daughter loves them. This was the first pair we ordered and they fit great. Super comfortable. Usually we have to order a nd return and order and return to get the right ones, but these fit great on first try. Tx, Zappos!!

I turned to brooks about a year or so ago due to the fact that I wear through shoes badly I'm pretty sure due to the fact I have fallen arches. I could never find something comfortable it was so hard shopping for shoes. Then someone introduced me to these and ever since I've been in love. They use to not be so stylish but these I bought recently I love the color and look and the options online. I can say I truely was not disappointed. Still breaking these in so hopefully I will know soon how well they do the job. I stand for long days sometimes over 16 hrs a day so I need good shoes.

I did as many reviews suggested, instead of my normal size 7, I ordered 7.5 and the fit was perfect. The shoe was wonderful for about an hour. Once my foot settled into the lovely cushy insole, the edge of the shoe rubbed my ankles. Pain! Back they go and it makes me sad because I thought I had finally found a great sneaker.

I decided to try my very first pair of Brooks after reading several good reviews and must say, after wearing them for over a week, I really like them.
I have a flexible high arch, neuropathy in both feet, and arthritis in both knees, so needless to say I have a difficult time finding any shoe to be 100% comfortable. But, the Adrenaline GTS21 is feeling pretty well on my poor feet.
I take a size 9, medium width. They felt a bit tight when I first tried them on, but were not too small in the toe or heal, it was more about my feet not having a sneaker fit so well, so I decided to continue trying them out.
The bottom line is that this style fits well, true to size, for me, moderate arch support, which is really good, and I haven’t experienced any knee pain and that’s extremely important to me. The style and colors are not flashy, so it’s possible that younger women will not find these hip enough, but I am overall very pleased with this shoe.

I took these out of the box and they fit perfectly. I tested them on my tread with a run/walk interval and I felt like I run faster, lighter and efficiently. I have found my new running shoes! Love the style too. I will buy another pair soon!

my PT had recommended these shoes to help with my ankle arthritis. I've only worn them for two days and my feet and ankles feel wonderful. Great support. Wish they came in a more dressier shoe as I can't wear these with everything.

I have to say that I came kicking and screaming to buying these shoes. I don't like athletic shoes. But...I have become a serious walker, but I've got funky feet. I was told to try Brooks and they are great. Better late than never. My feet and knees are thanking me.

This would have been a good shoe for me, but the pair was defective. The sole of one of the shoes was attached incorrectly to the upper, so the foot (my foot) did not sit squarely in the shoe/on the sole. I have never had this issue before and didn’t have it with the other shoe. Back they went. (Ordered usual ½ size up for running shoes and the fit was correct.)

This is my fifth pair of this model shoe over three years and I’m hooked. It has spoiled me for other shoes. I took off one star overal as they do tend to wear out a bit quicker than i would like. .

These are terrible compared to the 20 version! They feel heavy, stiff, and not flexible at all. Cushioning is horrible. My legs start hurting a mile into my run. If my 20s weren't so beat up, I'd go back to them in a heartbeat!

Similar to a lot of the other reviews--- I've been running in the Adrenalines for years and the 21 model is awful. Every single time I try to give this pair another shot, I end up with the worst blisters on the back of my heel. Absolutely no cushion there. These shoes make me bleed every time I give them another shot. Constantly having to resort back to my old, worn down 20's to give my heels a break. Hoping the 22 model will come out soon and address these issues because I love my Brooks but hate this 21 model.

These run shorter than New Balance, but I do wear my normal shoe size. This is my third pair of Adrenaline; so I do like them. I wear for walking the dog 3-1/2 to around 4 miles every morning. They are comfortable and provide good support and cushion for my flat feet. I wish they were available in my size in more than one color. I am tired of grey.

I ordered a 1/2 size bigger than ANY other shoe in my wardrobe! They are a little big ( I have a narrow foot) but the size 9 was too small.

As soon as I put these on my feet felt soo comfy. I immediately threw away my three previous pairs and ordered another pair. These will be my walking/errand shoes. Love the color combinations.

This is my favorite fit out of the Brooks sneaker line. I have three pair from style; black, white and now the red/white/blue. They all fit identical. Great support, fits orthotics and very comfortable.
