These shoes are excellent in every way. I don't even need to insert my orthotics because they have the support I need. They are comfortable and stylish.

No where near as soft as my ASICS Gel-Nimbus® 18 but they do go a lot higher on the bridge of my foot which helps a lot to hold in my very narrow heals, this is a fair trade in my book.

Some of the greatest running shoes on the planet! So comfy, no break-in time, durable, perfect balance and support.

Had the precedessor to this shoe - they are still great! I have a narrow heal and wider toe box - this shoe is really great for me. Even a bit of extra room in the toe box. I wear a 9 - 9.5; I have tried both sizes in this shoe and opt for the 9.5. One of my quirks is white rubber on a running shoe sole - this is all purple! Love the color. The fabric is more of a navy than a purple. Great purchase!

True to size, true to width. I wish it had a little better arch support, but I purchased the wide width and it fits comfortably, size is true to size but I would recommend going a half size bigger than your normal shoe size (as is true for any running shoe, IMO).

My third pair - GTS 12, 14 now 16. Wear well, consistent fit from version to version. I'll be back for the 18's in 2 years.

I bought these on Zapppos because the local store failed to order my shoes and I wear them for work as a medical assistant. I'm on my feet all day long and I need good arch supports. Not only did I save $50 but I got them quickly and they are exactly what I needed. Sure the color may not have been my first choice but it's not like I look at my shoes all day. Great product, wonderful price. I will definitely come back for more.

Great shoe for more than just running. I am a non runner but have trouble knees. These shoes allow me stability while walking and good cushioning.

I don't get the complaining about the new version of the GTS. These are great! They fit a little more snugly, but for me, I like that better. Great running and the colors are nice in person.

I got these to replace an old pair that I wore for three years. So comfortable! Great summer shoe, as it 'breaths' through the mesh. These were my favorite gardening shoe. Bought these on sale, so color choices were limited, but what a great deal on a wonderful shoe!

This is my second pair of brooks. I'm so happy a found this brand. I'm an avid walker. These shoes provide the support I need. I have wide feet. I was happy to find a brand of shoes that even offers a double wide. I highly suggest ordering yourself a pair of these shoes. Plus I love all the fun colors.

I have several pairs of this running shoe, in various styles and colors. Brooks is a comfortable shoe for those with flatter feet, I don't have much of an arch and it feels great on the soles of my feet. They also last a decent mileage - I run ~15 mi/week and get a new pair every 6-9 months, which works well.

So comfy! My feet grew an extra size after having my son and I needed a new pair of shoes ASAP. They aren't too tight on the top or sides and I didn't get any numbness in my feet which can happen. The shoes are solid, and the colors let me feel feminine (when you have size 13 feet that's a big deal). I'm also a nurse so I'm on my feet for most of the day and these were very accommodating. Overall they rock.

Love these! I had ancient Glycerin 10's. I tried Hokas and the new Glycerins, and they didn't fit as well as these (and these are cheaper - bonus!). I have a wide toe box, and wear a size 8 in regular shoes. My old Glycerins were 9 wide, so that's the size I ordered. My 9 wide fit great, feel stable and cushy, too. And Zappos, as usual, is so great with shipping and returns!

This was the third manufacture that I tried and finally found the right sneaker. These Brooks GTS 16 fit perfectly and give me the arch support that I need. Starting to suffer from adult onset flat footedness and this sneaker allows me to walk long distance with no pain. I have reconciled that I will need to wear this sneaker for quite some time. So I plan on ordering several colors and Zappos had the best price.

I love this roomy, lightweight shoe. I wish it came in more color selections in EE because I have 2 pair and need a 3rd and am tired of the blue and silver :)

As a serious pronator I need a shoe with sturdy arch support and this shoe is the best I've found after trying many brands and styles. But...I wear my orthotics in them so I cannot comment on the insoles they supply. I bought a pair at my local running store and then decided to see if Zappos had them. Yes! And in so many fabulous colors. I bought two more pair from Zappos and was thrilled they were on sale. I can wear these shoes all day long without sore feet and I stand and walk a lot!

This is the third time I have bought these shoes for my two daughters. They are both in cross country and track. These shoes are great for practice! From what I hear, the make of the shoe that works best depends on their feet. For my girls, these are the ones.

The GTS is a great shoe if you're looking for support in day-to-day activities or running. I've been wearing the GTS for about 4 years and it's my go-to sneaker. Due to ankle & tendon issues, I require a supportive, stabilizing shoe and this sneaker does the trick.

I have a few pairs of Brooks sneakers in other models, all are roomy in the toe-box,this model is a tad more snug than the others and rubs a little when walking a lot. Hard to find an all black sneaker and they work for my needs though, so I kept them.
