Customer Reviews Brooks Adrenaline GTS 17

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 liked them however my orthotics didn't fit as nicely as my doctor would have liked. So I will be returning and getting the sauconys.

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.

I like these shoes and have had the 15 and 16 as well. It seems as if these don't have quite as much cushion in the heel as the 16s did. It seems a touch stiffer and the shoe overall seems to have a snugger fit through the arch and middle of the foot. I've been pretty happy overall though, (I've run about 3 5ks so far in them) and I think my heels may just need to get used to the new feel. I did not love the choices of colors for this year's model, however! I bought the night sky/hollyhock and think they look all right. I have had a ton of compliments on them though!

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.

For wide feet this shoe runs small. Used to love Brooks and have tried to order twice now and returned both times. Not what they used to be.

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.

This was my first pair of Brooks and I wear them for aerobics, not for running. I am usually a size 10 narrow width. I used to wear nothing but New Balance but feel the quality of their shoes has really declined over the last few years. I have also worn Saucony Glide 9 but can't find them in narrow widths anymore. I ordered a 10.5 N in these shoes and when they first arrived I almost thought I would send them back. They seem a little short, but my toe is not all the way to the end so I am going to keep and see how they do. If they turn out to be too short for aerobics with all the bouncing and pressure on the toes, I will keep them just for casual wear. I do like their Narrow width - a true Narrow. I was afraid if I went up to an 11 N it would be too big overall.

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!

I think these shoes are excellent! I wear them on the treadmill and have no issues whatsoever. They're very comfortable and stylish. I have a really hard time finding shoes in my size and width, and these made it almost too easy. I normally have to try shoes on and then return them. I love them... highly recommend.

Walking on air! These are my second pair of Brooks- literally walked the soles off the first pair. The best thing a these is the lightweight feel-they hug your feet and provide solid support. The styling and colors were a nice bonus; I can actually wear these out and feel pretty put together.

Toe box is too short! Width is barely okay, but , damn, that short box!! It will serve up blisters and pain quickly. I got the black one and it looks great. I mean how often does Brooks make an all black shoe for women? Frankly, I like my shoes subtle. I've been passing over Brooks for the last 2-3 years because they began making shoes that were too narrow. I was hoping this year Brooks would get back to their reputation of making normal/wide shoes that fit properly. Unfortunately, this is not the case with the Adrenaline GTS 17. Black, classy, and beautiful, but unfortunately it runs short and tight. I will have to send it back.
