pressure points on ball of foot, pinkie toes, arch, and under heels. These just did not feel comfortable when I put them on inside the house to try out.

So far...best running shoe I've had. I've used saucony guide series for years. My husband got me these for my birthday. In regular shoes wear a 9, got a 9.5 in these. Plenty of room in the toe box and good support. I love running and not being aware of any aches and pains in my feet! Very pleased with the purchase.

These Brooks sneakers are the only brand that I can wear. They provide lots of support for my over pronation, and they come in the double ee that I need.

After 2 surgeries on the same foot added to plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis I need fashionable (in my 40s) but supportive shoes. Bought this based on reviews but found that the comfort and support were not there for me. In addition, this sneaker looks much prettier on the screen than in person. In person the gray is a darker grey and the sneaker doesn't look as attractive. In the end I had to return them.

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 wear the GTS 15's in size 8.5, while my feet are size 7.5. It seems like these 17's fit exactly the same as the 15's. I don't mind ordering a whole size up, but I went with many reviewers' advice and ordered only a half size up. I'll be returning my half size up shoes. I agree that this shoe runs small, but exactly how small is debatable. It sure would be nice if shoe sizing was more consistent across the board.

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.

This she fits well. However, it does NOT have good traction on wet cement sidewalks. This is July, and sidewalks barely wet from sprinklers are scary to walk on because of lack of traction. This has me worried and disappointed. When fall comes with rainy weather, all the sidewalks will be wet and I'll need to purchase a different shoe.

I get Brooks Adrenalines all the time. This pair made my feet hurt from day one. 5 months later and they still cause discomfort. I'm wondering if I got a defective pair or if the GTS 17 is just not good this time around.

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.

The width of the toe box on these shoes is perfect, and the color is great. I don't feel like there is much arch support so I added my own inserts. Biggest complaint I have is I've only owned these shoes 2 months and because the treads on the bottom are little squares, they're already starting to separate from the sole especially on the outer edges of the shoe.

I am training for a 10K and found my older Asics Gel to be unsupportive. I have very flat feet and my ankles and knees were aching around 5 miles in. I decided to try a few different shoes and these were the winner. I have wider feet at the toes/ball but normal sized heels, so I ordered the regular width and 1/2 size above my usual shoe size (with running my feet swell and I need space for my toe to not hit the top of the shoe). That seemed to be the perfect combination. I did feel that the heel was a little wide considering that it the normal (M) width shoe, but once I got going my foot filled it out. I could feel the improved ankle stability the second I hit the pavement. My ankles and knees don't hurt after a 7 mile run. Just make sure you lace them really tight. They look pretty cool too!

I love Brooks running shoes! The Brooks Ghost was my last running shoe and the style that got me hooked. The Brooks Adrenaline are comfortable right out of the box. The blue and purple colors are vibrant and just what I was looking for. Brooks has always been true to size for me. I typically wear size 7 in running shoes and these were spot on. Definitely buy these shoes! Plus, I love the Zappos return policy and their delivery is always super quick.

I try, and try different brands of shoes for walking. . .and they do not like my wide feet. I have this great pair of Brooks and I will never look back! Good value, wide widths, and Zappos great return policy assures the right fit!

These shoes provide the stability I need for running/walking and are comfortable. This is my third pair. I do have to go up a full size in Brooks shoes to get the best fit for my wider foot. I tried getting the shoe in a Wide, 1/2 size up, but the regular width full size up was better. I got the Iceland blue/hollyhock color this time and really like the look.

I have been wearing Brooks Adrenaline running shoes for years, but, for me these were very uncomfortable. I tried them for a few months, but on vacation they were so uncomfortable I could barely walk. Sorry to say I am sending them back

My feet are so happy in these Brooks. I use hard custom orthotics and a lift in one shoe. These work!!

I am a committed Brooks Adrenaline runner. They were my first running shoes 5+ years ago, and I always end up coming back to them.They seriously help my overpronation and help prevent injuries. I have extra wide feet, and this color was the only one that came in extra wide; I was prepared to tolerate these because I love Adrenalines and they fit. However, when they arrived, I fell in love with their style! They make my feet look smaller and cute, plus they're very attractive in person-I've gotten lots of compliments on them. But best of all, they perform like classic Brooks Adrenalines. The fit is true, they are sturdy and well made, and I would definitely recommend them. The only thing I would do differently is add additional padding in the shoe, I like LOTS of cushion.

I love these shoes! I have been working out in minimalist shoes from Asics and Nike and one day got home from the gym with an ankle sprain basically just from working out with the wrong shoes. I bought these shoes and a pair of Asics with great ankle support and loved these over the Asics which have been my go to shoe brand for a long time. These Brooks are decently stylish, have great cushioning in the toe and heel areas, and gave me great support around my ankles. I will probably now forever wear Brooks athletic shoes for any running or cross training that I do!!
