Best toe rub in shoes

I loved the Gts 20s. The toe/top of the shoe 21 is wrinkled and rubs against the toes. I've tried several pairs of 21's and they all do. Will stick with the 20's.

Pros
  • Trial for one year
Cons
  • Volume

I wish I knew what happened to Brooks.

5 years ago I would say that Brooks shoes are the best all round shoes on the market. They were supportive, comfortable and durable. This is not the case today, I've spent over $600 trying different Brooks shoes to find one that fits my Ghost 11. I'm done with my purchase of the Adrenaline GTS 21 and am switching to another Brand. Don't get me wrong, Brooks makes good shoes, but they used to be exceptional. Everyone I've recommended Brooks to over the years has told me the same thing. Sad.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine

Cozy! BUT. The front crumbles with every step. :(

Well. I really wanted to love these shoes. I was particularly pleased that Brooks finally released white for men! Hooray! But while they're comfortable, they have one key disadvantage. A weird thing happens When the forefoot folds on the shoe Every time you take a step and your toes come forward the forefoot folds with a strange popping sound like it gives and folds up Size is too big I bought 2 pairs!normal 14. It happens in both pairs!I've never seen this on previous GTS generations (I even…

Cozy! BUT. The front crumbles with every step. :(

Well, I really wanted to love these shoes. I was particularly excited that Brooks finally released white sneakers for men! Hooray! But despite the comfort, they have one big flaw. This Something strange happens when the forefoot folds on the shoe, every time you take a step and your toes come forward, the forefoot folds in with a strange popping sound, like it's giving way and collapsing The size is too big I bought 2 pairs! I bought 13XW which are perfect for my regular 14. It happens in both…

Very disappointed in Running

For the price of these shoes and given their reputation I really expected better. After just two workouts doing light cardio on the treadmill, I started experiencing pain in my arches or legs. It was like there was literally no arch support in the shoes. The next workout I went back to my previous running shoes from a different brand and had no pain. On the other hand, I was suspicious of these sneakers from the second I received them. First, they didn't come in the original Brooks shoes…

Pros
  • Athletic
Cons
  • Communication with seller

Doesn't fit as well as older models.

So to everyone who answered my question about the size of these shoes. You are all wrong. This shoe is not the same size as the GTS 19. These shoes are narrower, much narrower. I had to take a 2E a size and a half bigger than my 19 to be comfortable. I posted photos of my GTS 19 and some GTS 21 side by side. The light gray shoes are the GTS 19. The GTS 19 are standard width (D) shoes. The black GTS 21 is a wide (2E) width. Both 10s. I'm sending back the GTS 21, luckily I also bought the 10.5…

Pros
  • men
Cons
  • the list will be long.

New upper wraps the ankle

I used to hate Adrenaline because it was too soft in the midsole and outsole for serious running but now this is the only shoe I can wear since I have developed plantar fasciitis. (heel spur). A few years ago, however, all Brooks started using a ridiculous new padded ankle collar. It digs into your Achilles tendon and ankles and is so soft that within a month it will rip to shreds, making it look like it's been chewed by a dog (with an expiration date?). On the 21 model, they fiddled with the…

Pros
  • Running
Cons
  • Not as thick as other shoes
