Customer Reviews Brooks Adrenaline GTS 18

As someone that requires a stability shoe that also had a wide toe box, I’ve found these fit the bill. This is my second pair.

This is a very nice sneaker. Except for being a little narrower than I wanted, it is fine. I ordered this in two widths, so I kept the WIDE

I was trying to replace my worn out Brooks Addiction 12 model, and the Addiction 13 didn't fit well at all. The sole was awkward and the shoe felt clunky and clumsy--very odd compared to the Addiction 12. The GTS 18 is closer to the Addiction 12, and though it's not perfect for me, it accommodates my flat, wide feet and bunions, providing enough support for me to get through a walk or workout comfortably. So, it gets four stars, and I'm keeping them while continuing to shop for something better.

It fits perfectly but I it had a better arch support.

I just went in my first run in these shoes. My left foot felt like a dream...my right arch hurt a bit- but I think it’s due to my tight calves. I bought 4 pairs of running shoes trying to find THE ONE and these are pretty darn nice.

My podiatrist recommended Adrenaline GTS 18 to address foot pain related to plantar fasciitis. I bought a pair in black about a month ago and a second pair in white last week. The pain has my foot pain has decreased substantially. I only wish they had more non-pink and non-pastel colors for women.

Really wanted to like these, but for some reason the outside of my left foot rubbed uncomfortably. Although I will say they have a really nice toe box, I didn’t think the cushion was adequate. So back they go.

The shoe seemed to run a little small in the length. Width was fine. Cushion was nice. Did not care for the color/combinations but the material was great. I felt the lockdown was not what Brooks shoes were in the past. Heel counter not as good as shoes from the past. While these were not as stiff as the GTS 17 or 16 I still had to send them back b/c too much posting for me. I think they are good shoe for many overpronators but just not for me. I think Brooks is missing the boat on their support shoes. If you are looking for mild support and cushion they don't have a good shoe for that option. Revenna does not have good cushion. Transcend is not supportive enough. The new shoes are not stiff enough. I purchased these to replace my Transcend. Moving on to another brand after wearing Brooks for past five years....

They run so small! I sized up by half should have gone up a whole size! Even the width is tight. I have always loved these shoes, until these, they run so small and the quality of the cushioning is just not there. The style is cute! But they have some awful color combos on this version. I will still enjoy them but I wish Brooks would go back to basics. For the money I expect more.

Overall, I’m really happy with this purchase. I previously had a pair of Adrenaline GTS, different color and they were great. I have plantars and this shoe was recommended to help as I train. I wasnt in love with the plot of my previous pair. I love the color and fit. Really happy with the purchase.

I've had lifelong hip/knee/foot issues--moderate, but still issues. I'm an overpronator, and I've returned to running after a long (years) layoff. I've worn Brooks Addictions in the past, but gave the Adrenalines a try. The fit is good, they look good, cushioning is good, and the motion control is enough for me. They fit and feel much better than my last Addictions, and they are lighter. I'm glad I found these.

I typically wear a 7.5, but am in the process of exchanging these for a size 8. The pink/multi color is a bit garish in my opinion.

Had to return them. The fit on the sides and heel was very nice however the top of the shor touched my big toe despite there being plenty of room. I felt no arch support even though I have an average arch.

After having GTS 17 and loving them, moved on to GTS 18 as a replacement. Love them! I am not a runner, but a person who has a fused left ankle and a right one that has hardware too! I like a shoe with plenty of bounce, but with firmness through the middle. Other reviewers have noted - the GTS 18 is different than 17. I noticed that the upper part and toe box is less structured - almost feels like a slipper, so if you are one that needs structure up top, these may not be for you. I love these shoes so much, I have a pair for every day wear outside and a pair to wear on my treadmill inside. I was pleasantly surprised at the 2nd pair that are White/Purple/Grey. They are indoor shoes, so I was not too worried about them being too white and getting dirty, but the pattern in the toe box area lends itself more to grey which is great.

I like them but they have a tight spot by my bunion that creates too much pressure for me. So I’ll be returning them.

These are comfortable shoes and have good arch support! I originally ordered my usual size but had to return to get a half size larger!

Nice and comfy, too short. Need half size bigger. Good arch support.

I decided to keep these shoes after much obsessing. I have last year's model in the same size and width. That pair fit perfectly. This year's model seemed a light tighter in the toe box than my old shoes. I think the toe box has loosened up after just a couple of wears so I can recommend this shoe to people who have last year's Adrenaline.

I wear cushioned orthotics in my shoes. I sized up to a wide width to put 3/4 inch thick orthotics into shoes. I felt the fabric of the upper is too flimsy to support an orthotic and my foot. The wide width is above average width so it is too wide. The length is true to Brooks.

This is a gorgeous shoe with lots of support but it runs a half size too small.

I like the sneaker - usually get the white but this color is a softer material and better shoe laces that stretch. I think it's a comfortable sneaker but has just a little too much width in the foot area for me. My custom orthotics are not quite wide enough to to fill out the area but it still works okay. Overall they are comfortable and supportive and I will continue to buy these for running.

Wish Brooks made more shoes that are water resistant. The least bit of moisture and your feet get damp.

These shoes are so comfortable. I ordered 1/2 size larger for a perfect fit. I’ve tried many brands and always come back to Brooks.

The fit was true to size if other Brooks shoes. Disappointed that the 2018 model is way too cushioned in the heel for me, as I like a firmer supportive feel. The styling is great though.

I have a very wide foot from toe to my heel. I've found Brooks tend to fit best, as most of their shoes come in wide, or extra wide. It was nice to finally find a simple white shoe that I can wear with anything, instead of the dark & bold colors that really make my size 11 feet stick out. These don't necessarily make my feet invisible, but they don't look like clown shoes, either. So the pros are that they're nice looking, rounded at the toe, but still a little on the pointy side, the mesh fabric seems breathable and forgiving. Cons would be a very minimal arch, the heel cup seems shallower than I'd expect from Brooks, and the laces were barely long enough to tie after I cinched them snug. I know, I can swap out the laces, but my last pair of Brooks came with extra laces, and they were almost too long. I thought that the manufacturer supplied laces that worked best with the shoe, so I'd just expect a little better. The big thing I'm worried about is how I'm going to keep these clean. Will the mesh clean up easily, and will they look nice after they've been washed or scrubbed clean?
