I was excited to see that Brooks now offers single shoe sizing, which I originally thought I was going to need. Nonetheless I ordered the same size shoe per foot and have not been dissatisfied. I thought they were going to be too big, at first, then realized they fit just right. I have flat feet (like ZERO arches) and I thought the arch support in these shoes were going to be too much (as I haven’t worn orthotic arch supports in years). I was pleasantly mistaken. These are comfortable to wear for all day on my feet (9-12hr shifts). The only drawback I have is: I have to take them off and walk barefoot at home sometimes. Why not a five star? Honestly, if the arch support had a hair more side support for those “dropped ankles”, it would be a five.

the shoes feel like they are a size to big even though they are the correct size.

This shoe is not as good as the GTS 19. I've had them a little less than 6 months, only wear them for running and they have less than 200 hundred miles run in them and they are falling apart. I loved my GTS 19. I had 3 separate pairs. Don't waste your money on a shoe that wears out in such a short amount of time.

These do fit like my other pair. They are almost like clown shoes they are so floppy. I assumed they would be exactly like my others so I tossed the box but now I’m wishing I could return them

I’m a big walker. starting to run. I usually wear a size 8. I tried an 8 and 8.5, and kept the 8.5. Very comfortable. I do not need arch support. so, I’m not sure if these are good or bad for that. I’ve been using them for over a month and think they’re great!

I’m an avid runner and have been for decades. I started with the GTS Adrenaline 1 and here I am still purchasing this shoe at 21! it’s a good basic running shoe with moderate flex.

Great shoes for working out. Perfect amount of cushion and arch support. I ordered 1/2 a size larger than my normal size but I always do with running shoes. These fit exactly as expected.

There is something different about this shoe, the Adrenaline GTS 20 feels like it is more molded to my feet. The GTS 21 feels a little heaver or something. I got a pair in white to go with my lighter colored jeans, and the style is nice. I guess I wouldn't go with the GTS 21 again. I like the lightweight feeling of the other Brooks brand.

I purchased this pair shoes with the intention that I would have the best running experience of my life. They felt really good for about a week. However, they were not as soft as I had envisioned. I run long distances and these made everything cramp after about 30 mins of running. Nothing like I have ever experienced with other shoes. The other negative aspect is that these shoes are extremely hot. I anticipated that these would be cool with the breathable fabric but was I ever wrong. Being that this was my first pair of Brooks, I was disappointed and probably will not buy another pair. But, I gave it a fair attempt.

I hope they are waterproof. It's not clear to me if they are or not.

I have several Brooks Ghost shoes, all size 10Women. The shoes I just received are at least one or 2 sizes too big. Maybe they are a Men’s size 10 even though the box say Women size 10. I need to return them.

I got a size 11.5 and am so glad Brooks makes sizes above 11. The shoe looks super cool on. It is comfortable from the get-go, with padding in the back and just the right arch support. No breaking in requird. Just put them on and start walking, jogging, or running. I'm a walker and I'm very fond of these shoes. I recommend them.

I always were Brooks Adrenaline shoes and this is just like they are suppose to be. Fabric is cooler and shoe is excellent.

This is the second pair of this exact shoe I’ve purchased. The first pair was so good I wanted a back-up pair. Unfortunately, the second pair is not a good product. It feels like a cheesy cheap knock off shoe that one might buy from the Walmart clearance rack. I would return them but my husband took the box out on recycling trash day.

This is my second pair of this style and I love the .
I have orthotics and it is nice to find a pair that they work well in.
My biggest surprize was I ordered one day and they were here the next.

I exchanged my regular size 8 for an 8.5 for more room at the toe for no-show socks. They fit perfectly and do not make my 7.5 - 8 foot look like boats. They are very comfortable with no breaking in, no slippage at the heel, and the B width fits my wide foot very well. Friends and relatives have raved about Brooks. This is my first pair and I hope they work out for lots of walking in Italy!

I returned these because they are not as attractive as the GTS 19/20. I don’t like how Brooks made the new logo on the side and previous versions seemed to be higher quality.

Just worn around the house but are very comfy with excellent arch support. I don’t think I will need my orthotics with these. This particular shoe was recommended by my podiatrist. Great look as well. They do seem slightly smaller than my previous pair though. Maybe the old ones are stretched out a little? Anyway, I really like them.

I have worn the adrenalines for over 10 years and they have always provided amazing cushion and support. I had a purchased the GTS 20 earlier this year and they were great. Then I got the GTS 21 and immediately when I put them on I knew there was something off. They do not feel the same fit wise and have no where near the cushion or support. Now just a few months into the shoes it feels like I have had them for years and have knee and shin pain. Very disappointed in the GTS 21 edition.
