These are the best Brooks Adrenalines that have come out in YEARS! I may need to stock up and buy about 10 pairs since they are forever messing with the design. These are perfect, and I hope they never change them! I have a very wide foot and for some reason that last 2 or 3 series of adrenalines have cause my toes no end of problems. These haven't caused a single problem, and I've walked well over a hundred miles in them already. I walk between 4-6 miles 5 or 6 days a week. Initially, they did cause a slight bit of tenderness on my ankles - not sure why, but it cleared up in just a few days.

This shoe is cuter in person than the picture. It is comfortable. I wish I had ordered up 1/2 size. The toe is a little narrow and pointy, and my big toe ends up rubbing the side of the toe box. The rim of the toe box has a strip of firm like rubbery material that my toe hits toward the side. I wish the toe box were more round like the Ghost 10, or that this strip of material was softer. Sizing up 1/2 size should fix it.

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.

This is a FANTASTIC running shoe if you have a low arch and over pronate when you walk. I have both of these, also I have wide feet. I have heard that people say Brooks run a bit small, but I don't personally feel that way. In running shoes I'm about 8.5-9. I got an 8.5 2E and I could definitely go down a half size. But for me personally, they're absolutely awesome. I know it's hard to 'bite the bullet' and spend $120 dollars on shoes. But if you want/need comfort stable running/walking shoes, you won't regret it. Also, not to mention they last such a long time. I had the Ravenna's for years and they feel just the same as when I put them on. Great shoe!

Overall the shoes are comfortable. However, they are tight over my pinky toes. This has caused painful blisters to form.

Stylish and comfortable. Great shoes for personal made orthotics. I had to send the first pair back because the stitching near the toe was coming undone. The replacement pair seems to be holding together. I definitely recommend.

Really liked how the shoes felt when I tried them on -- the toe box had ample space without being too wide and the arch support seemed good. However, after running in them only 2 weeks, I began experiencing severe pain in the ball of my right foot and an intermittent numb sensation in the toes of both feet during runs. I don't know whether I just got a "one-off" shoe or if this will be a consistent problem with this model. I had been running in some older Nikes prior and did not have any issues with my old shoes. Also did not do anything different than usual with my runs, so unfortunately it must be the Brooks. The arch support after 2 weeks is also not fantastic. I have a medium width foot and am an overpronator. Sad that these shoes didn't work out and that I'll have to lay off running for a while due to foot pain :(

I am a nurse at a busy hospital and these shoes are amazing for being on your feet all day. Great arch support and cushion. My feet are finally recovering from my Danskos. Wear these for 18 hour days and feel OK by the end of the shift. I highly recommend this shoe!

This is a sturdy, supportive shoe that works well for me. I also deeply appreciate the modest gray color. I hate the garish colors of most sneakers, especially when trying to travel unobtrusively abroad.

I LOVE these SHOES!!!! I have bought Brooks Adrenaline women's running shoes for many many years. I am so glad that you have made the changes from a few years ago. These shoes felt wonderful, comfortable, love the color and my feet are so very very happy. I recommend these shoes to everyone and anyone!!

These have to go back. I have a narrow heel and wide toe box. I ordered a D width, which always fits. I went up a half size. The length is okay going a half size up, but the width is far too narrow. I also don't think these have much support for over-pronation. My feet were rolling in just standing still. I would never run in these.

My 12 year old daughter has weak arches and ankles that roll in. Brooks running shoes were highly recommended by the pediatric orthopedist for her foot and ankle issues since we didn't want to spend a lot of money on custom orthotics while her feet are still growing. She's been wearing these for cross country and track & field exercises in a different color for a couple of weeks now. They've been so great for her that we purchased these so she could alternate days to dry out fully before workouts. She says that they've virtually eliminated her foot and ankle pain. I highly recommend these for severe overpronators.

Have just purchased a second pair (different color) within two months because they are so comfortable for my wide feet! No pressure points anywhere on these. Wish they weren't quite so "metallic", but colors are otherwise nice!

I originally ordered these shoes in an 11 2E. I've worn this size in the brooks adrenaline for 10+ years. However, the first pair that I ordered were huge! I re-ordered in 10 2E and 10.5 2E. I ended up going with the 10.5 2E. They are still a little big, but the 10 were too small in length. They are still the most supportive shoes I've worn. I highly recommend.

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'd also recommend:
Asics, Saucony

The shoe is very stylish, but the toe box is uncomfortable. The toe box tips upward, which may be fine as a running shoe (IDK, I don't run), but I need a walking shoe that will accommodate a heavy sock and an orthotic, and although I ordered a full size larger than my usual, the shoe feels tight--not at the sides, just in the toe box. Also, the shoe has too much "give" at the sides; it is not supportive enough, even with my orthotic.

I love this low key gray color and am VERY disappointed that the toe box presses down on my big toe, causing pain, even when I first put it on. And it is narrow - my toes can't spread out. Other than that, it feels very comfortable and supportive

I have very flat feet and tend to walk on my sides. These awesome sneakers give me great support and hug my feet in so I don't walk on my sides. Loved them so much I bought a 2nd pair.

Great shoes, but some changes with the 17s. I've worn Adrenalines for several years and they are my go-to running shoe. I love the support and the way they hold up. After some initial frustration with my first pair of these, I found out you need to order a 1/2 size up from previous models.

Love these shoes. I play pickle ball and I can take these right out of the box and know I'll have no pain as far as my feet go. Great support .
