I love these shoes! This is my second pair. The first pair, Adrenaline 20, are still good but I I decided to get a new pair once I started feeling the temperature of the road\ground on my daily 3 mile walks with my 88 pound dog. The first pair also started peeling bits of rubber more during the walks, but I had them over a year before getting this new pair. I feel very secure during my walks in any weather. Some athletic shoes I've used in the past get slipper in wet\snow conditions and can't grip the road\ground, resulting in tripping\falling. I don't have gripping problems with these. There are times when my dog almost throws me off balance trying to run after something and I fear I will slip and fall but I haven't (bet now it happens since I mentioned it, lol)

I honestly don’t know what to think. I have been wearing Brook’s Adrenaline’s for years. I have always been able to pop them on and away I would go on my walks, forgetting they were new they were so comfortable. This time, I’m having a hard time deciding what’s going on. The shoe fits snugger than my other adrenalines and my feet feel hot in them. Just not as comfortable as in the past I’m not sure if it’s me or the shoe. Not ready to give up on them yet!

Really helps keep my flat feet from pronating. Super lightweight so easy on your feet and great for travel. I took off a star because I'd like a little more padding, may add a green Spenco. Walked 5 miles in them one day with friends along paved roads, after being ill and not getting out much, and my feet were pretty happy. A little more padding would have been nice as I mentioned (I have fibromyalgia, so sometimes the soles of my feet hurt), but overall a great shoe. My friend's husband, who had surgery on both knees after a bad accident was wearing the same sneakers and swears by them. Not very stylish, wish they offered some fun colors, but a good basic sneaker.

Fit, size and comfort were excellent. However, the color was not as I saw it on the website. This color is more dingy/dirty looking in person. I'll purchase this shoe again, but I was just not happy with this color. I wish Brooks would revamp their colors all the way around. I fell like the consumer is stuck with purples and aqua teals over and over again.

Fit was true to size. My feet feel well supported and my ankles don't roll. I can wear them for hours without my feet hurting.

I have ordered Brooks Adrenaline for years. This shoe felt off from the start but I ran for about a week. Then, I visited my local running store and learned that sometimes Zappos and Amazon will receive second-runs of shoes. So, I tried on the exact model and it was a night and day difference than the Zappos version. I know it sounds odd but I experienced this first hand and moving forward, I'll be going to my local store or, ordering multiple versions of the same shoe.

Returned this pair for extra wide. Thank goodness Zappos had some that wide in one color. Very hard to find, but now that I have them, very pleased!! I can walk again for more than 5 minutes without pain.

I have had many pairs of these over the years. They fit great right out of the box and I light the color tones.

Only one issue prevents me from giving this shoe 5 stars--the heels wear out long before the shoes do. While this is my favorite Brooks shoe in every other way and by far the most comfortable, it is the only pair of Brooks that has ever done this; therefore, I would not buy another Adrenaline GTS 21, which makes me so sad. I really hope Brooks fixes this issue.

I?ve used this particular design of brooks for years and loved them but the 21 is a waste of money. I purchased two pairs so far this year the heels of both have gone out way before the life of the shoe, I?m a light causal runner.

I loved the adrenaline 20s so I bought a pair of 21s. The heel has worn through and they didn?t even last 6 months. I can?t even wear them without getting a blister. Very disappointed in the new design. I?m a RN so I am on my feet all day.

These shoes were sent to me clearly used. I know you have free returns but what a hassle and makes me hesitant to buy more from you if you send clearly used shoes.

I got these because they came in Extra-Wide and it looked like they had a good "toe spring". I needed both due to an ankle fusuon, spinal fixation and substantial orthotics. So far, I am still breaking them in, but I think they will actually work out for me. ( I have a very hard, time finding shoes that work).

I got these for my 4 lb, 3 oz NICU baby girl who’s growing up too fast and at only eleven years of age, is now taller than me (that’s not a difficult feat as I’m only 5’ 0” but did I mention she’s 11? Which means she still has some growing to do, so. *sheds a tear*) We’ve been going for walks every morning and she had been complaining about ankle pain. At first I assumed it was the murmurings of an extremely non-athletic person who simply didn’t want to be awakened out of so deep a slumber so early in the morning for so lame a task as walking/running, but when she showed me that the pain was emitting from the inside of her ankle, I knew she actually needed a more supportive shoe. I’ve been a Brooks Adrenaline fan for years so we got these for her and her ankle pain was eliminated. I always size up a whole size in running shoes for obvious reasons and they fit her perfectly. Go ahead and get ‘em.

I've been running for 47 years and the shoe I just received (ocean/black/nightlife) is the worst shoe I've ever purchased. I purchased my previous pair (ombre/lavender/metallic)about 6 months ago and they're perfect!! What happened?? I've been wearing the Adrenaline for as long as I can remember so I have many years of experience. The new shoe is shorter, narrower, and painfully rubs my ankles. It's not a design issue, but a manufacturing issue. Shoes shouldn't change that much from color to color. I don't want to change brands or styles at this point in my life.....

I really love these shoes! I have worn Brooks shoes for several years and wore Ghost model. On advice from my daughter who had recently purchased the Adrenaline GTS and liked them I decided I would give them a try since I needed to get a new pair of shoes. I am not disappointed; I go to gym to work out and they feel great on my feet.
