I've worm the Brooks Adrenaline for several style seasons now. I was not pleased with the GTS 16, just not as comfortable as other versions. The GTS 17 fits and looks a lot like the 15. I'm glad they made the changes. It feels a bit roomier in toes and softer feel but still supportive in the arch. I've had numerous foot surgeries and have flat, pronating feet. These were recommended by my podiatrist and I see he wears them also.

I've worn Asics Gel Kayanos for years but have been disappointed in the color selection the last few years. After reading a blog comparing the Asics to other shoes, I decided to give these a try. I am very happy with these! They fit perfectly and were comfortable on the first wear. I use these shoes for cross training at the gym, walking outside/on the treadmill. I haven't tried doing a run in them yet but know they'll be just fine.

Ahh, they feel like heaven on my feet! I have bunions and wide feet. I've tried so many different sneakers. These are really wide, supportive and comfortable.

My feet are happy once again! I have been wearing Brooks Defyance for many years, but since their latest version (#9) came out I have been on the hunt for something that would give me the same comfort and stability as previous versions. The Adrenaline GTS 17 is that shoe. It has good stability which helps guide my feet while running. While it is not as "cushy" as the Ghost 9 or Defyance 8 it is still comfortable and has a great arch support. I will be buying several more of these shoes before Brooks goes and messes with another good thing. I typically wear a size 9M but order 1/2 size larger in Brooks.

This shoe offers a lot of room in the toe box, and it looks super cool. I took the suggestion of other reviews and ordered a half size up (from 11 to 11.5 womens). I feel like they are a tad too big, but better that than small. I will insert my own arch supports. I have been in New Balances for years - the kind for over pronators. I think this one is very comparable, and even cooler looking. I'm glad I found it. And despite the size being so large, the dark color makes my foot not look huge!

I love these Brooks Shoes. Got them yesterday and put them on. They felt great right out of the box. I am recovering from fifth metatarsal fracture which is in the mid foot closer to the ankle and need good cushioning and midsole support. These are AWESOME and feel great on my recovering foot. I love the colors blue and purple. Please Brooks don't tone down your colors like others have suggested and just add a solid for those people. These are so beautiful.

I love these shoes! I was a dedicated Asics wearer but their toe box just kept getting narrower and narrower. I ordered a wide width in the Brooks shoe and it has more room than the 2E Asics. As an age 50+ runner with flat feet I also appreciate the arch support and the well-padded soles. These were comfortable right out of the box and they're the most comfortable pair of shoes I own. Will definitely be buying Brooks athletic shoes again!

I have another pair of these same shoes in another color, Iceland blue, size 8.5 B. I have a bunion but it has never been a problem with Brooks shoes until I ordered the Adreniline 17 in Anthracite/Festival Fuscia. I ordered my usual size and the toe box was narrow. The seam on the right side of the shoe rubbed my bunion. I returned those shoes, ordered 8.5 W. The toe box was slightly larger but the seam on the right side of my foot still rubbed my bunion. I noticed the inside of the shoes I ordered in this color have unfinished seams inside the shoes. The Iceland Blue pair's seams were finished inside and have no problem with the 8.5 B rubbing anywhere. It appears both colors of this shoe were not made in the same factory or else there was a manufacturing change during production. Be sure to walk around indoors in this shoe color before you buy it.

This Is Love. I'm back Brooks GTS. Never again will I think the grass is greener with another shoe. The Asics Gel Kayano wooed me away with their cushy ride but I'm back. With the Asics, my feet were hurting in new places and the shoes just felt sloppy. I was tired of achy feet so I came crawling back to you, Brooks GTS & the moment I laced you up, I knew. We were made for each other. My plantar fasciitis isn't bugging me. The ache by my big toe is gone. My heels were singing for joy at the snug fit holding them in place. I'm sorry for doubting you Brooks GTS. Never again. I'm here to stay!

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.

Wow! The worlds most perfect sneaker. I over-pronate, so it's important that I have a sneaker that corrects for that tendency. I've had quite a few pairs of Brooks sneakers over the years, but THIS PAIR is by far the best one yet. It's PERFECT. I've never said that about a shoe or sneaker in my my life.

These shoes are awesome. I'm not a runner but suffer from plantar fasciitis and they have kept me comfortable all day long. I originally work the Ghost 8 and feel like these are even better

I love Brooks running shoes! This shoe is very comfortable, but sadly runs a little shorter than usual for the Brooks brand. I recommend ordering a half size bigger

I ordered both the GTS 16 & 17 to see the difference. The GTS 17 felt much wider on my narrow foot. definitely bigger in the toe box also. The GTS fits me perfectly in the narrow so I am going to order it as long as possible.

Love these. Better than the 16s. They seem to have more support to them. I wear a wide so I'm glad they came out with more stylish shoes than both pairs of the 16s wide.

I feel like these fit better straight out of the box moreso than the 16s did. More roomy and comfortable with less time needed to break them in. Still need my inserts for additional arch support but love these. Hope these last a little longer than my 16s did!

This is second pair of ASICS I have purchased. Unfortunately, within 4 months the knit around the toe of one of the shoes came apart.
