I need a shoe with a wide toe bed but not the rest of the foot. I also have flat feet which can be a problem. These shoes fit perfectly! They are comfortable and provide me with enough support. They aren't the most stylish shoe in the world but I just wear them with jeans anyway.

I originally purchased these in a 10. I am learning shoe designers don't know how to measure. I went up to a 10.5. When you have large feet you don't want to order larger. Saying that I love the look of the shoes. It's hard to find a solid back shoe. I love colors but I want a basic black & these more than fit the bill. I love the way they look. They do lack in the padding department. These are meant for over pronators which I am not. I wish they had more cushion. I am pleased otherwise

This is my second pair. I love them and will get a third pair. I have flat feet and tend to probate. These help me stay straight which minimizes pain at the end of the day. I am a nurse and stand on my feet all day. These are great!

Very comfortable. The silver or “rose gold” accent is VERY shiny, much more than I anticipated from the photos, but the shoes are so comfy that I will still keep them.

This is the 4th pair of Adrenaline GTS shoes that I own. I know some people say there is a difference between the GTS 17 & 18 but I don't notice it. I use these with my orthotics and it offers excellent support without looking too geeky. I need a little wider toe box which this shoe offers. All around great shoe!

I bought these to replace the PureCadence 6. I ended up w/ awful bilateral hip pain w/ the PureCadence. I couldn’t walk without limping and relied on Aleve to keep me going. With the Adrenaline GTS 18, my pain improved within a few days and was completely resolved in 2 or 3 weeks! This was my first time to try a wide width and I love it!! Athletic shoes in general seem to be getting more narrow through the forefoot. I no longer have a sore, red spot on my pinky toe after 9 hours or more on my feet! Love these shoes! Would also love more colorful options like what is available with the Launch line.

Love these tennis shoes! I'm a nursing student and there one of the few shoes I can wear all day that make my feet still feel good (w/the help of compression socks, of course:)). Would highly recommend these shoes to anyone, for sure a solid tennis shoe.

These shoes run a bit short, so take that into account when ordering. Other than that, they are great. Very cushy and yet supportive. I need the wide width, due to the shape of my foot, and thankfully Brooks' wide size fits the bill. The sole so far has not shown very much wear. I am not a runner, just a walker, but I have had shoes that wore out fairly quickly. I came out of a pair of Hokas to these Brooks, and the Brooks are much more comfortable.

I've been looking for a good pair of shoes like this for quite a while, and these really were worth waiting for. They feel great, look great, good color combo. I'll be sure to look for Brooks in the future.

I purchased these shoes, they were too small but not brooks fault that one foot is larger than the other. It says this GTS 18 is an over predator on web site but I was told by shoe store they were not. I sent them back with a sad heart, I still may try a larger size if I can get the truth about the pronation.

I have pronation and my feet need that extra help to right themselves. these shoes have enought lift on the heal to give me that. That really helps my plantar faciitis. i can walk all day with these shoes and my feet dont bother me. i have 3 pair now. one is just for exercise and the others i use for outings. I would recommend the shoes if you have pronation or plantar faciitis.

I have really bad feet. I'm in pain all the time, awaiting surgery. I am on my feet at least 8 hours/day for work. These sneakers have saved my feet!!! They are so compfy! I have tried numerous brands of sneakers & my feet were still hurting. A fellow nurse has a pair, & recommended I get them. Best purchase I made!

First time buying a pair of Brooks. I'm glad I did. I bought these in solid black. They look and feel nice. The only down side is I had to order them in half a size larger. I already wear a 10. Just wish they were true to size but a lot if shoes have started doing this.

Fit and size was fine, I felt the ankle support was sorely lacking however. I am so disappointed that Brooks has discontinued the 17, what a let down. This 18 is rather clumsy and downright ugly. It looks more like a geriatric shoe than an athletes shoe, please, no insult or slight intended! It’s just ugly. I have been scouring the internet for 17’s, in the meantime I have pulled out all my old 17’s and washed them and to try to salvage the ones that are still wearable. I don’t understand why manufacturers mess with a good thing. Makes no sense. They have lost a very long time loyal customer.

I like wearing a regular running sock with my shoes. Having a wider foot can be problematic with many styles. This shoe comes in wide, is very light weight and fit perfectly with a running weight sock. I don't want to take them off!

Not many color choices in EE-width shoes so these were a nice change. Good support and can accommodate custom orthotics. Toe box is comfortable.

This is a very comfortable sneaker. It's my first pair of Brooks, which was on the list of my podiatrist. I love them.The fabric is flexible and breathable. The color combinations are stylish. I'm normally a 6.5 but the 7 was a better fit. I would recommend.
