Customer Reviews Brooks Adrenaline GTS 17

Good looking shoe, but a little short on toe room.

Overall I am pleased with this shoe. It is a little snug with my own orthotics, but I find wearing the shoe is comfortable. It has good support for pronated ankles, and has a "comfy" sole. The sizing is smaller than New Balance, which has been my "go to" brand for many years.

This is my favorite Brooks shoe. I take a wide width, so am a little disappointed that the color choices are so limited for the wide widths. Other than that, the fit is great, the support is good, an overall good shoe.

The toe box is too narrow in wide for my bunion. Has to go back.

I liked these shoes a lot, but I had also ordered the Brooks Glycerin 14 style, and I felt like it had more cushioning in the sole, so I kept that one instead.

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

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 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??

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

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.

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!

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 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!

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.

This is my second pair of Brooks. My first came after my third incident with plantar fasciitis. It has been a year that I have been dealing with this and I HATE orthotics. I find that if I tape my foot I can go all day in this shoe. I just wish it were a tad narrower. The colors were okay, I wasn't as jazzed up about those as I wanted the comfort I felt when I put on my first pair of Brooks. I am in AZ for part of the year and when I golf I usually walk so I skip the golf shoes and just wear the Brooks. Great shoe!!!

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

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.

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.

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.

Very comfortable shoes. I used to where a 9.5 but now I need a 10. Sizing may have changed a little. This is one brand that doesn't bother my feet, which have issues.

It's a gorgeous shoe (love, love, love the color) and very stabilizing, but as soon as I put it on I felt that the sides are too narrow and rubbed on my slight bunion.

This shoe fit a little better than the adrenaline 15's. I did not purchase the 16's because of the reviews. These feel lighter and the toe-box seems a tiny bit roomier, but not by much. I still love this shoe because of the stability it gives. So far, I've run 4 to 7 miles each time I've worn these. No big issues, except it seems my left big toe rubs a little. It could be the thick socks. I'll try different types of socks to see if the fit improves. Otherwise, these are super comfortable.

I think I must have a higher arch than I used to as these did not fit like my previous pairs of Adrenaline's. Loved the color and obviously good support. I'll wait for the 18's I guess!
