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

These shoes work really well for my needs. I have wide, over-pronated, custom orthodic feet. My custom orthodics fit nicely in these shoes, they support the over-pronation really well and I wear them everyday as they are so incredibly comfortable. I've bought multiple pair and will continue to buy more as they wear out.

Comfortable from the very first step. I size up one size for the Adrenaline GTS 17 but I normally wear a wide width shoe and these are perfect in the B width. These are my 3rd pair of the GTS 17

These are my third pair of Brooks Adrenaline. I use these for walking and going out and about town and playing with grandkids . I have problem wide feet and these shoes provide excellent support and cushioning. I'm happy to find a good quality sneaker that comes in the extra wide I need. In the future I would love to see a few more color options in extra wide. I would love to buy one of the brighter color options. These are great shoes for both the casual wearer and the more serious runner!

I have been wearing the brooks adrenaline gts for I can't remember how long. This model, the gts 17, is definitely one of Brooks best designs. Fit well right out of the box on my first run. Good arch support. I was afraid the azure blue would be too bright but I actually really like it.

I needed a GOOD walking shoe. I have flat feet and very wide feet. I've been having issues with my feet and knew that I needed something excellent for my precious feet and toes. I read the reviews about Brooks Adrenaline GTS 17 and decided to give them a try. I wear an 8 EE. Unfortunately, there is only one color available in this size and I'm really hoping that there will be more colors available in the near future, because I'd like to buy more pairs of this style.
The toe box is wide and has ample room for all my toes. I have taken out the insoles and replaced them with my custom Dr. Scholl's orthotics. The EE is very wide; it accommodates my wide foot.
These sneakers truly are supportive and comfortable. I would purchase 10 more pair if they offered them in different colors in size 8 EE. Give them a try, especially if you enjoy walking but have a lot of foot pain. They will cushion you as you move.

Nice looking shoe, but does not have the wider toe box that some of the other Brookes shoes offer. Seemed tight in the instep too. Had to return.

Plenty of room in toe box Love the color. However, I am experiencing a good deal of pain since I started wearing these. I have a severe over pronation problem and this shoe seems to be controlling that issue pretty well, but with the change in the way my foot is positioned, I am having quite a bit of pain on the outside of my feet. I am hoping with time, this will get better. Time will tell, I suppose. I think I will have to figure out a way to add a little more cushion in the affected area. By the end of the day, I can't wait to get my shoes off!

Last year for vacation I bought cheap tennis shoes for a vacation that involved a lot of walking and received blisters. For this year's vacation which had the same amount of walking my husband recommended these shoes and they are awesome. Besides from fitting just a little tight which eventually stretched out, my feet didn't seem to be as sore and no blisters. Very comfortable with good support.

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.

The Brooks Adrenaline is the best running/walking shoe I've tried. I wear a 7 narrow street shoe but the 8 narrow Adrenaline fits perfectly. It is narrow in the heel, preventing slipping, but has enough room in toe box for comfort. I had previously worn an Aasics and started to find front of shoe so narrow that it was uncomfortable. The Adrenaline is comfortable, gives excellent stability and is attractive. I wish they'd offer more than one color choice in narrow but love the shoe.

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.

I like these sneakers. They are solid and cute looking. A lot of athletic shoes these days are flimsy, no more substantial than some stretchy mesh with foam attached to the bottom. These are not like that. I got the metallic charcoal. Understated with some subtle bling.

I have bunions and hammer toes and I need a wide, deep toe box with an average-width heel, along with a lot of support for over-pronation and fallen arches. I usually take an 8.5-9 D (Wide) in a regular shoe, but because of the narrower toe box of women's wide sizes, even a 9.5 or 10 D in women's doesn't work for me. But I've had these for a week and am very happy with these. It took some experimenting, but to my surprise I'm very comfortable in the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 17 in a size 9 EE (WW)--the first time in years I've been able to wear a woman's sneaker in my actual size.
For those who need a lot of support, I have to add that I found the support in these just moderate, with very little compensation for over-pronation. However, the shoe is deep enough that I was able to put some hard store-bought orthotics (Dr. Scholl) under the removable insole--first time that's ever happened, too--and now they feel fine, at least for walking (I don't run). They're also light weight and breathable enough for summer wear.
The only disappointment was that the one color these seem to be available in is a garish grey/pink/turquoise. Hoping to find a pretty shoe as well as a comfortable one, I looked all over for the solid azure but couldn't find anything else in a EE even on Ebay--evidently Brooks doesn't make them in a EE in any other color. Aside from that, I'm happy at last and can highly recommend these for women with wide feet who yearn for feminine-looking shoes.

I bought the shoe with the gray solid upper (no mesh) and purple Brooks logo. I thought it looked cool, but it gives no room for your foot to stretch! My toes are squished. The GTS 17 feels more narrow than my GTS 16 or 15. The arch support is really good, but it's too aggressive for me, now that I've been hiking almost every weekend. If you have a wider foot, I recommend to stick with the colors of this model that have the mesh upper so your foot has room to breathe. I thought these were comfortable at first since I've been wearing the GTS for 5 years now, but I don't know if I'm going to keep them after wearing them around the house for a week.

I came to Zappos to find shoes that might help with my tendency to pronate and to help protect my bad ankles... I also sought these out in hopes that it might also offer some relief for my terrible knees. (I am 43 and need a double knee replacement - doc wants to wait b/c of my age but the joints are pretty shot - sorry for the TMI). Since a new pair of shoes is an easier option to try than surgery, I ordered the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 17 after reading reviews by other customers about the support. I am happy to say that these shoes are helping out tremendously with my pronation and my ankles. They offer a great platform for support - wider on the inside of the toe-end of the shoe which is proving to be great at keeping me from planting my foot wrong on walks. My knees still stink - but that is NO fault of the shoe. (; I ended up ordering the silver/purple cactus flower/bluebird b/c my first choice was out in my size - the black/hawaiian ocean/lime punch. I love the feature on the Zappos site that allows you to set an alert for when your size/color choice shoes becomes available again.... I have already ordered a second pair of the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 17 in my original color choice b/c I love the fit and feel of the shoe so much! Very pleased with the weight, the construction, the material and the color choices available for this shoe. Absolutely pleased with my purchase! I also want to add that I am ever so grateful for Zappos SUPER easy return policy - I had ordered a different brand of sneaker to try when I placed my order for my first pair of Brooks... the return process is so simple! Thank you Zappos for "getting" customer service!!! Incredibly satisfied all the way around!!!

These are terrific shoes, especially for those of us that tend to overpronate. Order a half a size up from regular everyday shoes and pair with running socks for perfect fit.

Great shoes, but they run small. Order 1/2 size up and you'll be fine.

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.

Others have posted that the toe box is roomy, but to me they are on the snug side. I don't know if ordering a size up would help, because I'd worry my feet might slip in the shoe. I prefer the Glycerin model, that seems to fit my feet better.
