Customer Reviews Brooks Adrenaline GTS 18

I have plantar fasciitis, a bunion, and knee issues. Proper shoe fit and comfort is so important as I work out daily. I had been fitted in the Brooks Ariel, but switched to these because they are lighter. The added bonus is that these have more color choices than the Ariel. I usually wear a size 11 in Brooks shoes, but had to size up to an 11.5 in this one. So grateful that they make that size as us ladies with larger feet sometimes have to switch to men's. The grey/black pair is super cute--enough so that I may even wear with jeans out and about. Love.

I overpronate and have plantar fasciitis. Which normally gives me knee, hip pain and the obvious plantar fasciitis pain. Not anymore! These shoes are perfect for my narrow overpronating foot!

One of my favorite all time shoes??and I have tried a lot of brands!

Finally found a great running shoe that fits my narrow foot comfortably. Looks good, feels good and gives good support with my orthotics. Well worth the money!!

I owned the previous model of this shoe and wore it out. Replaced it with these and am not disappointed. I took a 2 mike walk right out of the box and found them just as comfortable as my old pair. Great stability, cushion and arch support. I wear a size 8 in dress shoes but always purchase a 9 in all athletic shoes.

I had a well-loved pair of Adrenaline GTS 16, and was nervous to update to the 18. So nervous that I bought the new pair, but then went to Disneyland and decided it wasn't a good idea to 'break in' a new pair of shoes with that much walking. So I wore my old shoes. Such a bad idea. That left me with aching feet. As soon as I started wearing the new 18s, my feet felt instantly better.

Great!

I’ve been suffering with plantar fasciitis for over a month now, and the first steps upon getting up have been agony. That is, until today, when I wore these shoes. For the first time in a long time, I felt like myself again. I will be purchasing another pair, and will be wearing these every day until fully healed.

I don't have wide feet but buy wides in running shoes because of Morton Neuromas. An amazing shoe for the MN's is the Saucony Omni 15 but unfortunately Saucony changed the comfort, cush, of the 15's with the 16 and they just aren't as good. I hate when companies do this to a good selling model! So... I had to hit the trail looking for a replacement. This isn't a bad substitute. The wide is plenty wide and I have to tighten the laces more than the Omni 15 wide. But I really like the style for a white shoe.

So sorry to have to exchange these for a different shoe. The fit has changed considerably from the GTS 17. Now a bit too short; good toe box room, but low in the heel with less support there. Altogether just does not feel as comfortable as last years model! Hope Brooks reverts to old fit!!!

Great shoe out of the box. I work on a concrete floor and my feet didn't hurt. I like that I didn't have to use extra insoles either. I get compliments on them all the time. Once again thanks to Zappos for the best shoe selection and to next day shipping!!

Felt great right out of the box. I have multiple feet problems but the knit is soft and forgiving while providing great support. I do a lot of walking and the insole has a lot of cushion. After trying many of my go to brands, a friend suggested Brooks. I got a wide and went up a half size for orthotics and socks. Perfect!!!

Love them so comfortable

I usually wear 12M ASICS but lately they have not been holding up to regular wear and the sizing has been very unpredictable Brooks runs a whole size under and wider but the 13 2A feels great Time will see if they wear longer than ASICS

i love them! lighter than my other brooks and love the grey and pink. i wear 8s in most shoes and always get 9s in brooks.

I like this so much I am ordering a second pair. I wear for walking, Exercise, general activity. Usually wear 6 1/2 but 7 fits great. Like wide toe box of D width. But heel not a boat- so doesn’t slip! I ordered blue and color is attractive. Used to only wear new balance but can’t find a fit in them anymore.

This is my first time ordering the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 18. It was not the comfort that I'm looking for, not a bad shoe though but the style is too chunky.

This pair was more comfortable than the Asics. However (they may have been too wide) but my balance in them felt off. Think my foot was moving around too much. Nice support though.

I have and love the Brooks GTS 17. The GTS 18 feel narrower, especially in the toe box. In the 17, I wear a medium width comfortable. In the 18 I wear a wide. I’m going to try a 19 as I understand the 19 has fixed this issue so I may be able to get a color combo I like. :-)

I bought these in White/White/Grey and plan to save them until Spring. I liked the shoe enough to purchase it in the gray/pink shown in the photo when Zappos offered an additional 20%off. I’m wearing those now! I like the looks of the Ghost 10 better, but the fit is very similar. I have the Ghost 10 in a size 11 D and feel like I need just a bit more length. I ordered these in an 11 1/2 D and the are perfect. Love dealing with Zappos!

Super comfy

I have always worn a 6.5 EE in Brooks sneakers. But my toe was at the end in this size, which I thought was odd.So I called Brooks and asked for some suggestions. They told me that you should go up half a size in this particular model. So I ordered the next size up and they fit fine. I do agree with some of the other reviewers that this model does not have the padding under the foot that past years models did.

The fit and size were on point, similar to other brands (my prior sneaker was a Saucony). I had never tried Brooks before, but always wanted to , and the sale price on these was the cheapest of all the top running brands. (I was also looking for a shoe for flat feet.) Out of the box they are super comfortable and cushy, very similar to the Saucony. They felt like they had a bit more arch support than the Saucony, which is good for me. Hope they hold up as well as the Saucony, which holds up better than Asics for me. Time will tell, but very happy as a start.

this is the fourth pair of these shoes I've bought. I'm afraid they'll stop making them. The style is unobtrusive; support and comfort ideal. My feet are wide in the toe area, narrow in the heel, and my toes stick up. Plenty of room, and i can tighten the laces so I don't slide around. Now I wish they'd make a leather version.
