Great shoe but runs short. Order a half size up.

First of all, I can't say enough about Zappos customer service in helping me find this show. My podiatrist recommends this shoe for my arch support needs and I couldn't be happier.

I broke my ankle three months ago and required ORIF surgery. Since then, I am only able to wear athletic shoes. New Balance were my go-to previously. My New Balance were not cutting it anymore. I tried various brands trying to find a shoe that I could walk comfortable in and would help with my uneven gait due to the surgery. Since discovering Brooks, I can walk without a limp for the first time in months. The stability they provide is amazing. I don't need to change the insoles which had been a necessity in all the previous shoes I tried. I am so impressed with these shoes I ordered more colors.

I get compliments on these shoes every day I wear them! I have a leg brace and these provide the perfect level of support, width and stability. I will buy these again and again!

I usually wear an 11 and in this shoe an 11 was at least a full size too small.

It's been difficult to find a shoe to wear that will not aggravate very painful hallux rigidus. This shoe allows for walking and doing everyday activities without pain. I usually buy New Balance, and was hesitant to try another brand, but this Brooks model is comfortable, supportive, and pretty cool looking! I'm thinking of buying a second pair, but may go a 1/2 size up as my usual size is a little on the snug side when wearing thicker socks.

I work on my feet and have tried many different shoes. I have wide feet and high arches. I am pretty happy with the wide rendition of these shoes. My feet aren't quite as sore at the end of the night with these. I wish there was just a little more arch support and heel cushion and with that I would be completely satisfied. Overall, pretty pleased and I have high standards.

The Adrenaline 17 is much more like the older style Adrenalines, in that it is again roomy in the toe box. Fit is much better than the 16. It does seem like the size is a bit smaller, so I ordered a half size up and it fits great. This shoe was recommended by my orthotocist and now I can stick with it once again. Service with Zappos was wonderful, as always!

I walk almost everyday on a Treadmill as I have had knee replacement surgery. I have worn Asics in the past, but had problems with the tongue bothering the top of my foot. This is my second pair of Brooks which I bought based on their foot survey. I think they are a tighter fit and definitely not as cushioning as ASIC, but seem to help my pronation. I have over the counter orthotics in them. Definitely a shoe you would want to increase width if you have not had to in other shoes.
I have a love/hate relationship with them , but I am wearing them now and I have four pairs of fairly new Asics in my closet??

Extremely comfortable with great ankle support for my 3 mile daily walk! I always order 1 size larger than my usual shoe size for a tennis shoe and that worked perfectly with this shoe!

I normally buy asics because I feel they work best for my high arches. I decided to try these because they came in a narrow. Perfect fit! The arch support was pretty decent but I always put my own insoles in for more support. I'm a heal striker when I run and these provide plenty of cushion. Definitely would recommend these.

This is my second pair of Brooks, very happy with the fit, I have a high arch and these shoes accommodate my foot well. They give good support and stability. My only con would be that my foot gets warm.

Not as padded as some of the previous versions and they should be for $120. However, the arch support is superb!

These were my first pair of Brooks I wear a size 12 EE and have only purchased New Balance in the past 6 yrs but I've always wished I could find some bright fun colors to match my workout outfits . I think I've found my new "go to" shoe! The fit wasn't too snug or loose, the toe box was roomy without being too big and I LOVE THE COLORS!! I can't wait until I can try some of the other variations offered. I'm super happy with Zappos next day shipping too as it keeps me from running all over town looking for shoes ! I can just order the ones I like and send them back for an immediate return if they don't fit well.

Over all not a bad shoe. The tongue seems a little bulky at the top. Hope it will flatten out without rubbing to much in the process. Still needs some breaking in. Lot's of toe space. I have a narrow heel and wide front of foot. The heel is a little deep. Replaced with my own orthotic. Seems to push my heel out of shoe somewhat. Not a bad shoe over all.

This is my 6th pair of Brooks Adrenaline. I absolutely love them and cannot work without them. I did have a couple of issues with the gts16, however these are like the originals! I have super narrow feet and the 2A is perfect. This brand also runs smaller I have learned which size to get. I wear size 11 normally, but order a 13 in these. Thanks Zappos for always having my size! I got the newspaper print ones and the online photo doesn't do it justice! They are actually very cute! The silver, grey, and black is super sharp. I am on my feet for 12 hours at a time for work and these sure make the difference!

This is my 3rd pair of Brooks Adrenalines. I had the GTS 14 and GTS 15 in 7.5 W. This pair was 7.5 EE, but I don't think it is because Brooks changed anything, I think it has more to do with my growing bunion. Needless to say I love Brooks. And their double wide was truly double wide unlike some other shoes. Thank you Brooks for making shoes for difficult feet! Please don't stop! And thank you Zappos for carrying them!

these are seriously the worst shoes I have ever tried to run in. I bought them 3 months ago and finally tried them for the 3rd time yesterday. My legs and feet have never hurt so bad. So disappointed to spend this much $ on shoes that I will now have to get rid of.

Love my Brooks Adrenaline GTS 17. I have been ordering Brooks Adrenaline for 5 years and a leather Books walking shoe longer than that. My doctor suggested Brooks and he was right. I have not had any trouble with my back or feet since I started wearing Brooks. Zappos is the best and easiest company to work with. I had a pair of shoes that were a little snug and called to send them back. The lady I talked to was so nice and helpful. She went ahead and sent another pair of shoes, got them the next day, then I sent the pair that was too snug back. I would recommend Zappos and Brooks, they are the BEST!

I loved these beautiful Adrenaline GTS 17s in azure blue. I had purchased and loved earlier versions of the Adrenalines and found them very comfortable. But I found Brooks had changed the decorative plastic strips so that they now fall right over the little toe on the 17, which for me, was painful as they rubbed my toes on every step. So I had to return them and exchange them for Brooks Ghost 9. I had great help from a Zappos Customer Service rep who helped me find the model with the soft mesh over the whole toe! Now I love my Ghost 9s!
If the plastic decorative strips don't bother your toes, theses Adrenaline GTS 17 shoes are very comfortable, supportive and stabilizing. And the Azure blue is just gorgeous!
