Customer Reviews Brooks Adrenaline GTS 18

I've been wearing the adrenaline for a few years now because of my very wide feet and overpronation. I 've been very happy with them. I needed a new pair so I ordered the same model but the new version. Hmm, my toe is just about touching the front. So I checked in with the staff at Brooks and found that they recommend going up a half size. So I will try that.

I've always worn a size 10 with Brooks shoes, these are 1/2 size too small. Ordering 1/2 size larger because they are cute!

Size depends on the type of sock you wear. I went a little larger than other athletic shoes because I often wear thicker socks. As for style, well, they are athletic shoes and not designed for fashion. I was looking for comfort and ability to wear the shoes all day. This is the second pair of Brooks Adrenaline and I'm very pleased with them.

Stylish and comfortable fit. I love the muted color of gray/rose which goes well with many of my exercise clothes. I normally wear a 10 but a 10.5 was recommended so I bought that size. I’m glad I did. It fits perfect at the larger size. The toe box is roomy but not as much as their earlier styles. If you have a wider foot, you might not find it roomy. Overall, I’m pleased with the purchase.

I usually wear a 91/2 shoe but the 10 is better for me than 91/2. I have severe overpronation and these and the Books addiction 13 are the best for me after trying 5-6 pairs of other brands.

Seems like a great shoe, however it doesn't accommodate the Aertrex LL205 shoe insert. So had to return.

Overall a comfortable shoe. They look a little large on my foot, but I’m trying these to help with my over-pronation-related problems, so I’m not terribly concerned with looks at this point. Toe box feels a bit wider than I’m used to in a running shoe, but not uncomfortably so. So far I’m

Good running shoe.

I bought this shoes after reading they could help provide better support during workouts. I used to get a bit of knee pain when running on the tread mill and I have to say that I have not experienced any more pain since wearing these shoes during my OTF workouts. That being said, I had to go up a size on these shoes which is unusual for me. I’m a size 8 normal a width , sometimes a 7.5 on dress shoes. I ordered an 8.5 on these shoes and they still felt too tight on my toes. I re-ordered a 9 and they feel great , may be little loose. I got the rose gold and grey pattern and I like them very much. They go with everything. Overall a good shoe, but for this price point I expected a better fit overall.

First pair were too tight so ordered the wide. This is my first pair of shoes in a wide but they seem to be fine. Will wear around the house to be sure these don’t irritate my bunion.

This was my first Brooks purchase. I was looking for a comfortable alternative to replace my New Balance shoes since they appear to have changed the cut of their shoes and no longer fit me well. This Brooks shoe is very soft and cushiony. I have a wide forefoot and a narrower heel and these fit the front of my foot wonderfully. My heel keeps sliding up and down with every step (which can be quite annoying). I’ve decided to keep these and just wear them with a heavier sock to alleviate the heel slide.

i have been wearing this running shoe for about four years. this version of it i had to order a full size bigger than my real shoe size, a half size bigger than the previous size of the same shoe of this.

I like the style and color of these shoes (grey and a pinky coral) a lot. I am very happy that Brooks offers some options in wide and my usual 9 wide size fits great. My only complaint is that the cushioning under the ball of the foot is too thin. For me, the Ghost is a better match for running but these will be ok for walking, etc.

I have the 2016 Adrenaline and it fit like a glove. Time to replace them, but I returned these because the fabric of the toe box was so stretchy I had too much lateral movement and didn't feel like there was any way to tighten them enough to feel supported and keep my foot from sliding around. Nice looking, but fabric is too stretchy.

I needed these as a walking shoe, and I've been very happy with Brooks Adrenaline GTS int eh past. I'm a 9 to 9.5 Wide or Double Wide in a sneaker. However, I have normally narrow heels but a very wide foot (bunions) and hammertoes, so I need an especially wide, deep toe box. (For extra arch support, I use supportive but inexpensive orthotics trimmed to 3/4 length and wear sneakers with socks but without the mfr's insole.) My last Brooks Adrenaline GTS shoes were great--finally a toe box I could wear comfortably! Unfortunately, Brooks only offers EE in ond color, and this year's deep teal is both stodgy and ugly; plus, the fabric uppers, while very soft and comfortable, are so soft and meshy that I wouldn't want to wear these outside in a heavy rain. Decided to go with ASICS GEL-Venture® 6 in a 9.5 D (Wide) this time--better looking and more practical. I'm returning these.

Nice shoe but the Mediium width was too narrow and the wide width was much too wide. Zappos service is absolutely wonderful!! I'll try to search another shoe.

Comfortable and have held up well.

Nice shoes but toe box was too narrow so I returned for Broooks PureFlow 7 which has a wider toe box.

The fit is snug in the toe box. I purchased these shoes hoping that they would be a step up from the GTS 17 which I just retired from running. Even just putting these shoes on, I could tell they were more snug than the 17 to the point one of my feet was feeling a loss of circulation while just having them on.

I like these shoes but I sized up a FULL size as you're supposed to with running shoes. They feel more like a true 9, than a 9.5, so even if you're not a runner, I would suggest sizing up half a size for comfort.

So read a lot of comparisons between GTS 17 and 18 prior to purchasing the 18. I would agree that the 18 have less support overall than my 17s. I did snap at the chance to have a cuter pair of Brooks (purchased the grey/rose gold) so that is a win. I went out and purchased inserts with the 18s, which I did not absolutely need with the 17s. So overall a good shoe so far, but less supportive than the 17s. Also I alternate between 7 and 7.5 in shoes and in the GTS 18 the smaller shoe fit better.

I so wanted to love them, but they just didn't give as much cushion as I needed. They were cute little dots, but just not as comfortable as I wished for.

I made a mistake and thought I was buying Brooks Addiction: it’s so hard for me to find shoes in my size, 11.5 N, that I went for this pair in my size on sale. The biggest differences from the Addiction are the lack of padding, especially toward the front of my foot; and the wide heels so my foot slips up and down in the shoe. It’s an attractive shoe, and I like the color, but even with my orthotics, I feel some pain in my metatarsal area of one foot where I had a plantar plate injury. I look forward to a choice of sizes and colors in the Addiction again. I use these for everyday shoes and not for running.

Comfy and very light.

This is my first pair of Brooks. I am overweight and have a bunion. I ordered a wide width, as I do with all my shoes. I was able to wear these right out of the box, and there was no pinching or noticeable pressure points. I was able to walk for 3-4 hours before noticeable pain was back again. I have added additional orthotics but have not tried them yet. 3 hours is better than other shoes have provided me.
