Disappointed. I have exclusively worn Brooks Adrenaline since before they started giving them numbers. They peaked at 19/20, but 21/22 are are backward step. 3 x major flaws. Lack of toe pad support makes you feel like you are wearing a wedge, in danger of sliding forwards and not enabling a dynamic roll. The tongue change to a tab with scalloped edges makes the shoe feel loose and enables small stones to get inside. Finally, the atrophied ankle cap also contributes to lack of stability. The 21/22 are like wearing a pair of sliders after wearing the 19/20. I stockpiled 4 pairs of the 19 when I realised how good they were, I am just sorry it was not 40 pairs. Please revert to the superior design of the 19/20 - call it something else if you must - and save the dice ... MoreDisappointed.

I have been using the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 21 running shoes for a while now, and I can confidently say that they are one of the most comfortable and supportive shoes I have ever worn. The materials used in making the shoes are high quality, and the shoe's construction is top-notch, ensuring they last longer.What I appreciate most about the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 21 is their support level. As someone who overpronates, the GuideRails® technology in the shoe helps keep my feet stable and prevents unnecessary movement. This has helped reduce any discomfort or pain I previously experienced during runs.The shoes' cushioning system is also fantastic, providing a smooth and comfortable ride with every stride. I have used them for short and long-distance runs, and my ... MoreI have been using the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 21 running shoes for a while now, and I can confidently say that they are one of the most comfortable and supportive shoes I have ever worn.

I bought a pair of Adrenaline for my son , (25 years old) as he has had them before and I wear them myself. They have the right support for our feet. The last pair my son owned only lasted 4 months as the material fell apart, sole like new. Even my runners the material is so flimsy mine have worn away quickly each time and we are not hard in them. This is so disappointing as the sole and support are great but the material way too flimsy. Thinking twice about ever getting them again if I can find something else with the same support.

So far this is a good shoe. I've just moved from Asics Kayanos, which I've been wearing for years. The Adrenalins have a nice snug fit, has a slight bounce and springiness to them but not dramatic.I actually like the heel lift on these as it forces me to run off my toes more.I did make the mistake of wearing improper socks for my first 10km run in them, and started getting blisters on the inside of my arches. Hopefully next big run this doesn't happen, but I usually blame socks for the friction. Bit hard to say as yet.Anyway great shoe for the price!
I have really wide feet with hypersensitive toes that amplifies the slightest discomfort into excruciating pain and have been looking for months for wide shoes with deep cushioning. My podiatrist suggested moving from a 2E to a 4E width. Went to the shops and tried on a pair of Beast 20s and these ones and ended up buying both. As soon as I put these on, the first thing I noticed is that they feel lighter and more snug than the Beasts 20s. Second thing I noticed were the toe boxes. More generous than 4Es from a competitor without feeling like there's no cushioning. Third point I noticed - as a heel striker, I felt less discomfort when undergoing my daily walks. The lightweight of the shoes, coupled with the really comfortable insoles meant I was less focused on the ... MoreI have really wide feet with hypersensitive toes that amplifies the slightest discomfort into excruciating pain and have been looking for months for wide shoes with deep cushioning.

The lightweight of the shoes, coupled with the really comfortable insoles meant I was less focused on the effort of ignoring pain and more on actually walking. I also suffer from overpronation and the stability technology acted just as I would expect without any obvious discomfort or forced unnatural gait. The build quality isn't as cheap as it may seem. Suggested these to my parents as their exercise shoes and they have also converted to Brooks.One downside, Brooks didn't give much color option for 4E size. it's either the black/ebony ones or grey ones. I do hope Brooks re-thinks this approach and add some more color options for the 4E sizes.Another downside, the soles at first felt like they're made from Styrofoam and can be a bit slippery. I would recommend avoiding deliberately stepping in puddles and exercise a bit of caution on wet floors. The deep grooves are a magnet for picking up road debris (one walk I had twigs stuck in the grooves) so I'd recommend keeping an old toothbrush handy to brush all that off before you head inside your house.Overall, Well deserved kudos to Brooks for coming up with a pair of lightweight, durable, comfortable EXTRA WIDE shoes that actually is fit for purpose.
I am 68 years old now, I fell off a height back at the end of 2014, landed hard on both feet, but broke the bones in both feet into many pieces, Titanium bridging plates and numerous screws were drilled in by the surgeon to hold the bone fragments together whilst they mended. After the customary 6 months in a wheelchair another 6 months on crutches and in moon boots, severe pain became the norm and what had still prevented me from walking any distance 8 years later regardleds of what shoes I wore.Whilst in America early 2022 spending time with my daughters new family and trying to keep my 1 year old grandson busy at the playground and 1klm walks in the stroller, debilitating pain had me in bed with feet elevated recovering between outings.My daughter surprised me ... MoreI am 68 years old now, I fell off a height back at the end of 2014, landed hard on both feet, but broke the bones in both feet into many pieces, Titanium bridging plates and numerous screws were drilled in by the surgeon to hold the bone fragments together whilst they mended. After the customary 6 months in a wheelchair another 6 months on crutches and in moon boots, severe pain became the norm and what had still prevented me from walking any distance 8 years later regardleds of what shoes I wore.Whilst in America early 2022 spending time with my daughters new family and trying to keep my 1 year old grandson busy at the playground and 1klm walks in the stroller, debilitating pain had me in bed with feet elevated recovering between outings.My daughter surprised me with a gift of a pair of Brooks Adrenaline 21 GTS pair of US 8.5 2E runners/walkers, they fitted like a glove straight out of the box, it felt like walking on a cloud, the impact pain previously felt dusapeared, and had me almost in tears of unexpected pain relief and walking happiness. I have not tried running in my Adrenaline's, nor am I ever likely to ever try running again due to the plates and screws remaining holding my feet bones together, but, I have worn these Brooks Adrenaline miracles solid for the past 15 months, and have probably clocked up thousands of painless walking kilometers.The old Adrenaline's are still serving me well, but, my wearing them in my garage doing car services and repairs, has them looking worse for wear.My wifes protests have me decide to religate this pair to workshop only duty, and led me to buy not one, not two, but three pairs of Brooks for everyday (more dustinguised look) service, I bought an identical pair of Brooks Adrenaline 21, a pair of Brooks Glycerine 19, and are trying a pair of cheaper Brooks Ravenna 11, to be honest, I can not see my self buying anything other than Brooks, Cusion Support Runners ever again, my damaged feet have improved more in the last 15 months than they did in the previous 8 years since surgery, the pain whilst walking in Brooks has all but vanished, only to partially resurface when I become complacent and try wearing other shoes.To anyone interested in doing the best towards looking after ones feet, my personal and honest advice is as follows; try a pair of Brooks Support Cushioned pair of runners, and let me know if you too are likely to never walk or run in anything else ever again.Thank you Brooks, your shoes, and the surgeon who managed to screw my feet back together, deserve a medal and my life long gratitude.
Standard fitting running shoe with great support and cushioning - as you’d expect from Brooks. Suits orthotic insert’s extremely well as the heel is deep enough even with the insole in situ.I’ve tried and tested all the major brands but constantly find myself returning to Brooks.I still miss the old Brooks Trance, but the Adrenaline are not too far behind.Online purchasing was easy and relatively quick on delivery. Never had an issue with timing or sizing being incorrect.My son has just reached adult sizing and swears by the comfort and support the Brooks range offers.
This is my second pair of these shoes. I wear them for work as a teacher. I have long slim flat feet and wear orthotics. I find these shoes have been very comfortable for all day wear, largely standing and walking. I love the colour range - allows me to wear these for work without them looking overly like runners. My only criticism is that the reason I have bought a second pair is that the first ones have started to die a bit earlier than I would have expected, and the black and white pattern that I like isn't being made in the new model. I have worn Brooks shoes for over 20 years and have found in the last 3-4 years that the mid-soles tend to warp and collapse earlier than older models. Other than that, these shoes are great.
Have been a fan of Brooks after switching from Asics due to fast wear & tear. Previously had Ghost 13 but purchased the GTS 22 based on other reviews.While comfortable and great on dry flat ground, I find these incredibly slippery underfoot when the ground is wet. This becomes dangerously so when I'm finishing my run which is a long downhill stretch of road. Not overly steep but my feet feel about to slip with every step and I have to slow right up to avoid crashing to the ground.Good on dry flat ground but not when there's a little rain or dew.
I recently purchased a new pair of running shoes and have been extremely impressed with their comfort and fit. As soon as I put them on, I could tell that they were going to be a game-changer for my runs.The shoes feel great on my feet and provide a lot of support and stability, which is important for me as I tend to have a bit of overpronation. They also have a nice cushioned feel, which helps to absorb the impact of my feet hitting the pavement.I've been using these shoes for a few weeks now and have put them through their paces on a variety of runs, from short, quick intervals to longer distance runs. They have held up well and I have not noticed any wear or tear on the materials or construction.Overall, I am extremely satisfied with these running shoes and ... MoreI recently purchased a new pair of running shoes and have been extremely impressed with their comfort and fit.
