Customer Reviews Brooks Adrenaline GTS 17

I got the Brooks Ghost 8 last May and have worn them everyday. They have held up like troopers but I knew it was time to get a new pair. I read through the reviews of several of the Brooks line and decided on the Adrenaline GTS 17. As per Zappos usual speedy and much appreciated delivery, they arrived on the next business day. They have the same visual appeal and the quality is top of the line. The biggest difference in this pair versus the Ghost is the size. These run a tad smaller than the Ghost. The foot bed is just as comfortable and there are no technical complaints, just the sizing. I would order a half size up the next time. The right shoe is especially smaller than the left (I know one foot size is smaller than the other). Overall, great shoe.

I love these shoes. They fit as expected (I order a half size up to accommodate my orthotics) and are super comfortable. I can walk for hours in these babies!

Great comfortable shoe. Color and quality are exceptional. Very pleased with the shoe.

If my feet aren't happy, my back isn't happy. Thank you Brooks!

Very comfortable from the start. Nice and roomy in toe and front.

Since wearing Brooks, I have had zero issues related to my overpronating. They are very comfortable shoes. I bought a half size larger like many people seem to have. My toe was at the end of the tow box in my usual size.

I ordered these shoes right before a trip I knew would involve a lot of walking. I wore them around the house one night and then for a 2 mile walk and they were immediately comfortable. I am not a runner but these shoes were listed as good for plantar faciitis and I was having a little flare up of that. I did indeed do a lot of walking on my trip and the plantar faciitis didn't develop any further. I have wide feed and appreciate that Brooks makes these in a wide size.

I absolutely love these shoes! They are so comfortable right out of the box. I suffer from plantar fasciitis, and these shoes offer the support and comfort I need. The arch support is great on its own, but I do switch out my custom insoles which fit perfectly. I love the style too - not too big or clunky looking even though there's ample room in the toe area. I bought the 16s and sent them back -- they were like a totally different shoe (too narrow and my feet hurt within an hour). But these 17s are amazing.

I've been a fan of the Brooks adrenalines for a few years now. They were recommended for me to help with knee pain caused by overpronation. Combined with a custom orthotic, they are great for me! Haven't always been the biggest fan of the color combos offered for this shoe but was super excited to see the new charcoal version with purple logo. Love them!

These are great. I've been wearing Asics for years, but my feet have become more finicky and so I tried these, they're GREAT. I'm a size 8.5 in shoes, a 9 in these was perfect. I have a narrow foot and a high arch, and these worked for my exercise routine (interval training, some jogging).

Love these shoes! Great support. I'm on my feet for 13hrs at a time(I'm an RN), so must have very supportive shoes for my flat feet. Will buy another pair soon!

I've used the Cascadia for 10+ years. Since I'm not trail running as much lately I decided to try these and I love them!!

This shoe hits all the marks - it's got the perfect combination of support and cushioning. I can see why it is so popular, I wish I tried it sooner! The Mizuno Wave Inspire came in as a very close second, but the Adrenaline had just a tad more cushioning in the ball of the foot area. Love this shoe.

The GTS 17 is great. I have several pairs of the GTS 14 but was not able to wear the 15 or 16. The toe box is roomy but not overly wide, the heel is narrow no slipping, I am able to wear my Powerstep Maxx insoles without crowding. As usual, the customer service from Zappos was excellent. I bought a second pair of the grey/heather style and find the appearance a little less "sneaker". I walk a lot and have just started Trekking with poles and the GTS 17 are perfectly comfortable and supportive. If my budget allows, I made purchase another pair of the GTS 17 just in case Brooks changes the next year's model.

Overall, a really supportive, cushiony shoe. I use minimalist/near zero drop shoes for cross training so it is always an adjustment putting these on for dedicated running, but my feet feel great once they get used to the thick sole and heel lift. The only knock is that over the last few years, Brooks has changed their shoe widths to become more and more narrow. My last pair of Adrenalines (probably 14s) fit perfectly at 10D. I have wide forefeet plus mild bunions and like lots of room to toe splay when running, so it's not always easy to find the right shoe. With the 17s, the 10D felt tight on my little toes right away. I had to get 10EE to have the same fit as before. I actually put the two pairs sole-to-sole and the old 10D actually had a wider last than the new 10EE. Not sure why Brooks decided to make this change, but glad that Zappos let me buy 6 different sizes and send 5 back to get the right fit. Hope they don't get even more narrow in the future, or I will have to go back to buying mens running shoes.

I usually wear Brooks Glycerin but liked this color and design. Roomy toe box with medium width. Comfortable and look cool. Perfect combo.

Had to try these after reading all the reviews and trying them on in a different color at a retail store. I was ready to pay any price for the comfort and support that this shoe has given me and I am pleased with the results.

A great stability shoe. I have a ruptured ligament and it is holding my ankle steady until I can have surgery. It is not real cushioning but not hard as a rock. Somewhat in the middle. I wear a narrow and it was narrow enough. A good fit. True fo size. Will reorder. I added my orthotic as it doesn't have enough arch support for my foot.

I am thrilled with these Brooks Adrenaline GTS 17. I actually take out the insoles and use the NewBalance arch supports since I have a very high arch and need a lot of cushion for the ball of the foot. I like these shoes so well that I have ordered another pair in a different color. The customer staff at Zappos is excellent. Thank you staff for suggesting these shoes to me.

This is a great shoe. Roomy toe box. Good traction. Lots of support for pronation. I always buy a 1/2 size larger to accommodate feet swelling while running.

LOVE these shoes. great fit, a slightly wider toe box. super comfy for gym and the road!

I am a fan of Brooks and find that this model works better for me than Brooks in terms of meeting my needs. Have had periodic plantar fasciitis, tendonitis; tend to over-pronate, and this shoe keeps me comfortable in most all activities.

I love these tennis shoes. Of course I love Brooks tennis the best of all brands and I have tried a bunch. I admit I buy too many shoes. The GTS are my favorite style. I wear tennis shoes to work in and wear most of the year. I have 3 pairs of Brooks. If you are new to Brooks get one pair of GTS and one pair of Ghost and compare. Zappos doesn't mind....they rock!!

These are the most comfortable shoes.

LOVE!!!! After giving up on my previously beloved Asics running shoes, I ventured out and ordered a few different brands to try. It was frustrating because so many didn't work for me. Then these beauties arrived and BINGO. These Brooks Adrenaline GTS-17 shoes are the ones for me!! They are really comfy and have a nice cushion and great support. I wore them for the first time on a 3 mile run this morning and I felt like I could have kept going for miles. If you are a runner, definitely try these!
