I enjoyed the Adrenaline GTS21 until yesterday when I began developing a blister on the outer portion of my right calcaneus. The inner material and cushioning broke down and now a defect appears. Shoes done. Also the left is close behind. They were extremely comfortable until this point. I run two miles per day, ,three days per week on a YMCA indoor cushioned track, less than 150 total miles since purchase, not exactly an abusive workout for shoes. I’ve been running for 45 years and never had a breakdown like this. I’ve owned Brooks, NB 990’s, Saucony, prior and have not had a failure of this nature.

I’m thankful that I have two pairs of 21’s with a lot of wear left in them. I bought a pair of 22’s for just walking. I hate them. I miss the tubular shoestrings – the strings on the 22’s seemed too short. The support is there, but they don’t seem to be as comfy as my 21’s once they are broken in. Maybe the sizing is a bit off? They feel much tighter than my 21’s in the same size.
