Love this line of Brooks. I switched over from Asics and haven't gone back. This is my fourth Brooks purchase in 2 years. I have low arches and bunions since childhood and these are good enough. I never add insoles since I find my feet are happy with shoes made for "overpronated" feet.

I've always used Ascis and a trainer at my gym recommended trying Brooks. I'm excited to receive. I've heard they offer great support. Will write another review once I break them in!

Comfortable and great cushioning. I still need my orthodics (arch support is standard basic kind) so I ordered half a size up. They are sturdy, great for what I need.

Ok, here's the deal with this shoe. This was my first Brooks shoe and at first I LOVED it and actually still do, however, the material it's made of began to tear after only a few months of occasional wear. That's not expectable in my book for a shoe over $100. --- The problem is this material (mesh?) is so comfy and airy that I'm afraid any other material after owning this tennis shoe will disappoint me. :( So I'm giving Saucony (with the same material) a try to see if they hold up better, It may just be a fluke this happened since Brooks seems to be so well made but I'm still trying another brand just for fun since Zappos is outstanding in their return policy if we're not fully satisfied with the product. - THANKS ZAPPOS!

Brooks Adrenaline are my go to athletic shoes. They do run small. I wear a 9.5 in other shoes and boots but a 10.5 in these.

Brooks Adrenaline's are my go to athletic shoes for work and walking. I have flat feet so sometimes it takes a few times wearing a new pair to get used to the arch.

I love Brooks and this shoe fits great but the color is so shiny. I'm going to send them back and look for some that are not so pink and shiny.

I almost returned both pairs that I ordered because the arch support was awful. Then I took out the removable insole and replaced it with a better insole and I was in heaven. I will keep the heather gray 13B because I love the color and the width is perfect. I will return the anthracite and fuchsia because 13W is too wide for me.

Wow! Be careful on sizing! I've worn Brooks GTS for 10 years and wear a size 9 1/2....the 9 1/2 on the GTS 17 are much smaller than the GTS 16 and other GTS shoes. I returned the 9 1/2 for a 10, and I'm considering even going up to a 10 1/2.

I have been wearing the Brooks Addiction 12 for years. They have changed to Addiction 13, so I figured I would see if another style would work and chose the GTS 17. Overall, it's a good shoe. It fits true to size and looks great. And comfort level is good up to a point. But it just doesnt offer the arch support and cushion I need to make it through my 10-hour production floor shift. To be fair, I am hard on shoes because I am on my feet so much. I also have very flat feet and over-pronate. The GTS 17 will be great for times when I am not working, but I ultimately decided to go with the Addiction 13 and hope Brooks hasn't messed up a good thing.

I have always worn Brooks Glycerin, but the Adrenaline received so many good reviews, I thought I'd give it try. I really liked the style and fit. The wide base does give support. However, I have had hip and knee problems in the past, and wearing these shoes made those pains creep back. They may not have enough spring/cushion for me to relieve impact. Also, my foot did want to slip out. I had to use the extra loop hole to help with that problem.

These shoes fit well. Their designs are disappointing. What is up with all the pink options?? I am a woman, but I don't make it a habit of wearing pink and fuscia on a regular basis. Of course, all of the toned down designs are out of stock at the moment, leaving me with all pink... I will recommend these styles to my 10 yr old, but even she doesn't wear this much pink!

I used to wear Brooks Adrenaline for many years but stopped because the 2016 style was not good. I tried again this year and the 2017 are much better but am having to return the pair I ordered in my usual size and reordering in a 1/2 size up. I have read that other people feel these shoes run short....I would say they run a 1/4 to 1/2 size shorter than previous adrenalines. I have always worn a size 7 in these shoes and my toes are right at the very end of the shoe. I initially thought it was because I bought them in the summer and my feet were swollen but now trying them on again in the fall they are definitely shorter than ones I have had before. I really hope the 1/2 size up aren't too big because I love the style and the comfort seemed fine when I had them on other than the short length.

Usually 11.5N is a perfect fit for me. These shoes are too short - my toe hit the end. Will try a bigger size next time.

Had to size up from 8.5. These are my first brooks sneakers, They are very comfortable & have held up through my rigorous gym workouts. Running shoes seem to hold up the best so I always buy runners.

I like these, but I had to return to go up another 1/2 size. My normal is 10, and I ended up with an 11 for a good fit.

This is my second pair of these shoes. I bought my first pair of Brooks in March after seeing them recommended for people with plantar fasciitis. Truth be told, I was a die-hard New Balance person for many years so I was a bit skeptical. These shoes have been great for my feet! I've walked miles and miles in them, including a 9 mile day in NYC this summer, without any pain. I did replace the insoles with ones that have better arch support. My only complaint about these shoes is the soles seem to be wearing down quickly, although I'm not sure how long they're supposed to last. I've put close to 400 miles on them since March and now the treads at the ball of my foot are almost flat. Other than that, this is a good solid shoe.

First off, I want to say this is a pretty great shoe. I overpronate big time and I have extremely flat feet. I am also on my feet for 10+ hours a day on concrete. This is the first shoe that lasted a while for me. I have had the shoe for 5 months now and am just now starting to feel the old discomfort creeping in. That may not sound like a long time, but for me this is a big deal! My only issue with this shoe is the toe box is a big narrow and I do wish it had a bit more support in the bottom of the foot. The ankle support is phenomenal however. Also, the "rose gold" color is more of a purple platinum.

I've loved Brooks for a long, long time as an overpronator with bunions, arthritis, various minor issues... but this one has some slight misses. I had the GTS 15 (a model from 2 years ago) which I wore near daily when it wasn't boot or sandal weather. I've learned through painful experience to retire shoes after about 2 years, and so I happily moved on to this year's model. The GTS 17 seems to have just a little less cushioning, and a little narrower toe box than the earlier model. Still a solid shoe for overpronator, still pretty comfortable, not a big enough problem to send back... but simply not up to the standard I had 2 years ago.
