Customer Reviews Brooks Adrenaline GTS 18

Great shoe! I need decent support and these fit the bill. I put in my superfeet insoles because I need them for even extra Arch support, but the shoe is supportive enough for the insoles and gives me a solid foundation. Pretty decent colors overall happy with the shoe.

I am a 10 to 10-10.5 med in regular shoes but always need to size up to an 11 in athletic shoes and these fit OK in the 11 Med-definitely, not too big. After wearing them around the house for awhile the material on top my big toes felt stiff and uncomfortable for me. My heel did slip a bit against the back of the shoe as well. Overall stability and cushioning in the forefoot and heel was good, but I can't justify $120 if not a perfect fit.

These are very comfortable and supportive. 3 or 4 colors come in Wide which is nice for those of us who want more room for our toes. I will be taking these with me to Italy and I’m crossing my fingers they will be comfortable for lots of walking.

Prefer the Brooks Addiction, but the newest version doesn't fit the same. The Adrenaline doesn't have the same kind of support. I have a narrow foot with a long arch. Disappointed.

This edition of the Adrenaline gts wins points for the lighter and more breathable fabric used. But sadly it loses points for the narrower toe box. I wear a EE and the previous edition was one of a small number of shoes that was perfect for my feet! These are still wearable and mostly comfortable, just not as perfect as before.

Like others have said I’m really disappointed that they decided to change this style. I do not have wide feet but I do have to wear a wide running shoe due to a neuroma in my right foot. These new shoes are just not very comfortable. I don’t know what it is, but they don’t feel the same as the others. I’ve worn Brooks for 4 years. Since I’ve already worn them a few times outside and they are so expensive, I’ll get my 3-400 miles out of them and be done. It’s a shame; I do love Brooks but I don’t love this model.

I loved everything about these BUT they slipped had to returned. Couldn't make them not slip. I have narrow heels and need narrow shoes. Unfortunately manufactures don't offer many of them. These shoes do but they NEVER have them in stock accept the ugly purple ones. Come on Zappos get more in. Every shoe that offered narrow didn't have them in stock. For the price they could make a better insole. Had to put my expensive one in.

not as cushiony as my last two pairs of brooks adrenaline. going back

The toe box seems narrow compared to last years model. I do like the new look and shoes are comfortable while running. Would recommend!

Very comfortable, lightweight shoe. Even though other reviews stated this style ran wide, I did need to exchange the B width for a D wide

I have been wearing the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 18 for a week now. So far, so good. They fit snug but not too tightly. They provide the same stability as the 17s did. I don't notice a difference in the toe box. I am still not sure how the new upper material will hold up to my 5+ mile daily walks, only time will tell. I normally wear a 9M but order 9.5M in Brooks for comfort.

Long time fan of Brooks running shoe, especially the Adrenaline series. The shoe has been redesigned and I’m not sure how the material for the upper will wear. I’m worried my big toe will eventually create a hole. I guess time will tell.

Great shoe but not as good as the previous models. I agree with others that there is less ball of foot cushion in the front. While styling and colors are great, I have doubts like other reviewers have noted about the fabric holding up. With such a large weave it seems it will snag easily and since I tend to sometimes hit one foot against the other while speed walking, I think I may have to try something a bit sturdier. If I can’t find anything as comfy, I will give this a try. Thanks Zappos for always being my go to shoe place!

Nice color and probably has good arch support. For me, it's much too narrow, especially in the toe box.

Love these shoes. Bought the 2017 and 2014 models. The colors have gotten weird.

I really wanted to like this shoe. Support and styling are great but just not enough toe room for me. Back to Brooks Ghost which works much better for my feet.

Loved the looks of these but the N was much too narrow. I have a fairly narrow foot with extremely high instep so this creates problems with fit. Had to return these. I was able to wear the Brooks Ghost N which fit well and very comfortable right out of the box. The Brooks work well with my fasciatis.

I am so unhappy to return these. I have worn brooks for over a decade and this latest edition is by far the best looking pair they have made. However it is the trendy style that causes the return. The comfortable sock-like toe box has no support for workouts and upon my first and only wear my toes slid to the tip of the shoe. Not good.

I have size 7.5 thick, “normal” width feet. About 3 1/2 months ago I decided to run hills and picked up a nagging case of plantar fasciitis. It feels like it’s mostly resolved, but not entirely. Impatient with waiting to be completely pain-free, I bought the GTS 18’s. I love them. I’m still not 100% pain-free, but I feel like I’m taking proper precautions by taping my foot and running short distances to start in the Adrenalines. Because my feet are thick yet Regular width, they feel good in a B and slightly roomy in a D. This is my first pair of Brooks. After a long day on my feet, the B was a little snug and binding on the top. After playing with the lacing (straight bar worked best), on day 3 they felt good. Now, after a week, they feel fabulous. I have a Dr. Scholls insert which is slightly thicker than the factory insole. There’s not enough room to accommodate my Flintstone feet and the Scholls running insert. It was binding on the top of my big toes at the bottom laces. The factory insole is the right size/thickness for me. Can’t speak to how long they last since I’ve only run twice in them, but they feel great on the pavement! And oh yeah, I love Zappos customer service :)

Very attractive shoes; unfortunately the cushioned insert felt harder and far more rigid than the glycerin 15 (Glycerin 15 is very comfortable but not that flattering on my feet, so I was trying to purchase a more streamlined, attractive pair of shoes with similar comfort; still searching).

Runs small. I have had other Brooks shoes in a 10.5 and they are roomy.

I haven't had a pair of Brooks for several years. I'm really pleased with this shoe!

Love the green color and nice style. I bought the EE width, and i now wonder if i would've been ok with just E. Overall, I'm satisfied with the shoes.

Really like the adrenaline gts 18. Has a more streamlined appearance than previous adrenaline. I just wish the colors were a little brighter. Still, for me, the adrenaline are the best shoes.

I have had a great deal of trouble lately with Brooks fit. I normally wear a 10 in Adrenaline and that has always worked. This time, my toes go almost to the end when I'm moving. I need to play with the laces a little -- maybe my heel is moving forward? In any case, Adrenaline 16 was a wonderful shoe, but you can hardly find them any longer. Adrenaline 18 is nice looking and mostly comfortable. I haven't done a whole lot of running in them yet. We'll see -- I may be trying a different model or brand in the spring.
