I normally wear this shoe style/size without problems. The pair I'm returning is way too short - it fits like a 7, not 7.5. I'm wondering if it is mismarked. I found the same shoe at a local shoe store in 7.5 which fit perfectly, so I purchased it there for the same price and am returning this pair. This is very unusual for something from Zappos!

I needed new sneakers with great stability, arch support, a wide enough toe box and a lot of padding. I have an illness that makes walking and standing extremely painful. I fell in love with the NYC print pattern but they didn't have it in a wide, so I tried another style in my regular size 8.5 Wide, and the print I liked in a regular width 9.
The 8.5 Wide was too short. Listen to the reviews and order 1/2 size up.
The 9 regular width fit, so these seem to run 1/2 size SHORT and probably a little wide.
The only problem I had is that my left heel slides up and down-- and only my left. This is the first time in 50 years of life that I had a heel of a shoe not fit me. I know I could try things with the laces but I don't have narrow heels-- never had a shoe do that-- so I suspected something was wrong in the left shoe. I wanted to try another pair but there are none in stock... so I had to pass.
If you like these-- but have the sliding heel issue-- try the Saucony Omni 15. Those fit perfect to size and width and have been extremely comfortable.

I have a wide foot and I was looking for a shoe with good stability. This is it. The pain in my knees and feet is gone and my foot does not slip side to side. I use this shoe for both running and weight training and it is great.

I wanted to live these, but they're just not as comfortable and supportive as their predecessor. I like the look of them. The heel feels wider and lower to me.

This shoe runs a little small. I have worn 8.5N in Brooks for years and made a switch to the Adrenaline GTS and had to return because the 8.5N is too short. Went back to the Ghost, which fits just fine in the 8.5N

This is an excellent running shoe for underpronators. They are super supportive and provide lots of cushion. It feels like they propel you forward! The styling is a little too shiny for my taste, but I would have kept them if I was looking for a pure running shoe, but I wanted a shoe for a mix of treadmill/light jogging and cross training. I felt the big roll-off at the toes (not sure of the term for this), while super for running, would not be great for stability doing lunges and burpees and such. I ended up going with a pair of Mizuno Wave Inspire 13, which are just as comfortable and supportive but felt more stable for cross training type activities.

My plantar faciitis is painful right now so I bought these to hopefully walk/run in. After testing them out for a day out with super feet orthotics, my feet hurt pretty bad after. They feel supportive but are not helping me right now.

I've been wearing Brooks for the past 4-5 years and with the recent changes to the shoes I've found that instead of a 10.5 I now need an 11. I've always been a medium width and that still works perfectly for me so the width is still pretty spot on.
I really like the changes to the upper; the removal of a lot of stitching has helped make them feel better on my foot. Also, they changed the motion control piece and it feels more natural on my foot without losing the original comfort and support that took me to Brooks in the first place.

Great fitting shoe. Recommended by my physical therapist for knee stability. I work on my feet 8-12 hours and my feet, knees and legs feel great. Had to choose black/grey/red for uniform and these fit the bill and look classy though I might not have chosen the color if I didn't have restrictions. Usually wear a 9, but ordered 9 1/2 due to other reviews and they are perfect.

I have flat feet, so I struggle to find the right shoe. As soon as put these shoes on I'm ready to go! They're so comfortable and my feet love them. I've never been able to do this with any other shoe. If you have overpronation then these brooks will be prefect for you.

I was referred by my PT to get a shoe for over pronating feet. These shoes are about 7 over pronating. They are fabulous and I haven't had any knee issues since changing my shoe.

Love my Brooks Adrenaline GTS 17! The NYC print is not my normal flashy running shoe, but it's still just as edgy. I've been wearing the Brooks Adrenaline GTS for years and it's on par with last year's model to me, but much better than the 15's, which I didn't wear very long due to them being uncomfortable. Lots of support with some cushion. I always order a 1/2 size bigger for running shoes and these fit great for running.

I was pleasantly surprised by this item. The previous iteration of this shoe ran a little odd. Whatever it was they've fixed it with this version. It ran true to size and width for me. I loved the support and the comfort features. This shoe felt very springy and gave a great energy return. I'm looking forward to having a pair of my own.

I normally wear an 11N, but I order 11.5N in athletic shoes; I ordered a 12N to give my toes more room (I also have morton's toe with second toe being longer than big toe) and I lace my shoes using a runners technique so that my heel doesn't slip because my heel is a triple A. I walk 5.5 - 6 miles a day. These shoes are excellent! I love the way they feel and they are very supportive. I bought these because they were about the only shoe with 5 stars and now I see why.

Finally, my perfect workout shoe!!! I've been looking for the 'perfect' workout shoe and finally found it with Brooks Adrenaline GTS 17. Love the color and has great arch support and very comfortable. I am a size 7 and purchased a 7 and fits me perfectly. I also have a rather high arch and these shoes are perfect -- no need for inserts of any type for arch support. Will definitely be purchasing this brand and type of shoe again. Worth the money!!!

This was my first pair of Brooks, and I am very disappointed with the poor quality. I received my shoes 1/27/17 and noticed the rubber sole is separating from the shoe on 2/14/17. Less than a month of wear primarily used for walking inside a hospital, and they are literally falling apart.

Needed new shoes for a new pair of orthodics I was getting. Between the new orthodics and these shoes my feet feel so good! My orthodics fit wonderfully. My ankles feel secure. Isnt flopping around. Also been wearing them to work with my jeans. They arent the cutest but they work and arent super flashy like other shoes out there which i really appreciate. This is my first Brooks purchase. I would definitely buy another pair. These dont compare to the New Balance or Ascis shoes Ive purchased in the last few years. They are so much better.

I wear a 7 1/2 usually, and ordered an 8. My toes are jammed up against the end of the shoe. It is atrocious. If I were going to reorder it (which I'm not), I'd probably go two full sizes up. I don't know how they can possibly be selling this shoe. I imagine 90% of the buyers have to return it. The silver with the New York words is cute, though. I'll give it that. If you're thinking about buying this shoe, I strongly recommend you try it on in a store first.

I love my new Brooks GTS17. I went with the Gray/Silver/Black because the colors are perfect to match my current workout clothing collections. I have a pair of Brooks GTS14 that lasted 2 years. They are worth the money they are getting for cardio and weight training classes.

I really haven't tested these shoes, I only tried them on and they seem to be okay.
I usually wear Asics but their styes and fit are not what they used to be, how unfortunate.
Time will tell and I hope Brooks will be my go to for the future.
