So wanted this style shoe, but it was 1/2 size too small, so ordered 10, but a bit too narrow for my wide foot.

Great styles. I went off what other reviewers said, but a 10 was too big. I am a 9 1/2 wide, and that size is't available, so went with medium. It has great support, but seems stiffer than I'd like.

Been buying adrenaline for years! Went out for 8 miles in my new pair (which felt great at first) and got a huge blister on my baby toe. When I looked at the shoe, saw that the silver strip protecting the toe box had been extended from previous style so that stitching hit the top of my toe. Very sad. Hope it breaks in.

This is a nice shoe. No doubt. However, it did not work for me and here's why... I normally wear 10.5 in walking shoes. These I had to go up to an 11 and they still didn't feel right. The arch support seemed to be off for me. It had a nice thick sole that would seem to offer good support and cushioning for long walks, however they were much heavier than my normal Asics. The thing I did like about the shoes was that the toe box seemed very roomy. I'm guessing that if bunions were a problem for someone, this might be a good shoe for them. The Asic Gel Nimbus 19 was a better choice for me as it was true to size, was light yet still offered good support.

I liked the fit and style of this shoe, but the foot bed didn't have much cushion. In the past, my Brooks shoes have worn out quicker than I'd hoped resulting in sore feet, so I returned these for a different brand with more cushion.

The shoe laces were super short. I realize that I can go out and buy some shoe laces for cheap, but for over $100, I expect the shoes to come with 1 or even 2 pairs of laces that are actually long enough for a pair of adult shoes. I also though these ran a 1/2 size narrower than the new balances.

I ordered half size larger based on multiple reviews. They were too big, so returned and ordered my normal size! They are decent shoes, roomy toebox in an extra wide size 9. A little more colorful than I normally order, but they are to walk in, so comfort is what is mainly important to me. I returned a pair of Brooks Walkers due to lack of cushioning/padding.

I normally wear the GTS16 and the newer GTS17 is not as comfortable for me. I think it requires a slight break in time where my GTS16's did not need any. My other favorite running show is the Asics Kayano so if you need some support this shoe is not bad. I overpronate and this shoe is good enough but maybe could use a little more cushioning. I don't feel like there's as much support in the forefoot but the heel seems perfect to me. I'm always looking for a good pair of running/walking shoes and these will do for now. The colors are also very nice.

I like that Brooks shoes come in a variety of widths though in my experience, they run a little small lengthwise. I bought this shoe as a replacement for my prior pair of Brooks Adrenaline GTS shoes. They are okay though I liked the prior version better. For one thing, the newer version of the Brook's Adrenaline shoe doesn't seem to provide quite the same level of lateral stability as the older version. For another, the new version irritates my tailor's bunion due to the placement of a plastic band over the mesh of the shoe body.

These are really comfortable. Only complaint was that only one color choice for the double EE width.

I ordered 2 pairs of the size 9W GTS. One pair clearly mislabeled as it didn't even fit my smaller left foot and was definitely NOT a wide width while the other size 9W fit exactly like they were suppose to. Hence why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 since they seem to have some quality control issues.

I loved the look of this shoe and could feel the support. I wear a ten in street shoes and ordered a 10.5. The shoes fit very closely which I don't mind as I have a narrow-medium foot and usually have trouble with the shoe fitting. These were too short so I ordered an 11, which I've never worn before. I'm hopeful. I would say order up a whole size.

Love the look of these shoes. I have wide feet (bunions) and these hurt my feet a bit.

EE width excellent for my ultra-wide feet but length a little short. Normally take 8.5 but re-ordering in 9. They seem very comfy but 4 stars since I haven't actively tried them yet.

This shoe is very short. I appreciate that a narrow is available, but I need to order a half size up

This shoe was recommended to me by my podiatrist due to plantar faciitis and over-pronation. The shoe is comfortable and sturdy. The insert it comes with is strangely thin, but that's okay because I'll be replacing it with my custom orthotic. I do like that it makes my ankles feel very secure and supported.

I really LOVE these shoes but there is a leather strip crossing the outside of my little toes...would rub raw in no time at all so I am returning them.

The toe part is very narrow. Here is the main issue with these shoes. The soles start to wear after 1 month of daily wearing them for 9 hours. The soles literally started to come off. Be aware. Zappos did amazing though sending me another pair! Tiffany and Lesley went up and beyond for me! Otherwise, yes these were a great shoe!! Support was mint. Just the toe issue-created ingrown toenail issue and then also the soles coming off both shoes around the edges.

Found this shoe at my local running store but they did not have my size and it was going to take at least a week for them to order it in. While I prefer to shop local I needed the shoes immediately as we were leaving for an extended trip. With Zappos I received the shoes in 2 days. The Brooks Adrenaline performed superbly on Italy's cobblestone streets. The soles had just enough traction to stand up to both dry and wet conditions. I did have to order a 1/2 size up (no one hardly makes a 10 1/2 anymore) but the extra room did not interfere with my stride, etc. The ASICS I used to wear have been redesigned and the toe box is now too narrow and short for my feet and these Brooks proved to be a good replacement.

I wanted a pair of tennis shoes that were not an outrageous color combination. I have always bought the adrenaline's in a wide width, so that was never an option. I am happy to say that these shoes fit great. Even without being a wide width. I am not using them for the gym, but for every day. They are super comfortable right out of the box.

I loved the Brooks GTS I ordered before, so thought the same size/style would be perfect, but this one is too short. Hopefully, Zappos will have this back in stock soon.
