Customer Reviews Brooks Adrenaline GTS 18

I love brooks, but this is the third pair that's been iffy. These feel a lot bigger and looser than usual. I also replaced the insole with a dr. scholl's. They're comfortable and did the job, but I think the material is what makes it so much looser than previous styles.

Been wearing this style for a long time. This one was cute, but sized to short and toe box is narrow-sending back.

The shoes were comfortable, very nice! But they were too wide on me. My feet are a bit on the narrow side. Had to return them and Zappos was very supportive on the return process.

I have worn these shoes and loved them but this pair felt short.

Lived the fit but within two months the white material around the shoe began to peel. Not what I usually have with my Brooks!

I have a pair of these in a different color and although I like them I saw that the Adrenaline GTS 19 was out and promised more cushioning. They were absolutely right so I returned this pair and bought the 19 instead. So glad I did! After numerous foot surgeries for neuromas these are a dream! I highly recommend getting the 19!

I was really excited to receive these shoes. Im a nurse and I work 10 hours a day on my feet. I thought these shoes would help my achey feet but I was depressed to find out that didn’t happen. The “cushioning” on the bottom felt cheap and didn’t provide the comfort I was looking for. The shoes are lightweight however, I felt that they weren’t comfortable after a shift. I also wished the arch support had been better as well. I had high expectations but was bummed when they weren’t met.

VERY roomy fit for a narrow width. Great color! These shoes seemed extra big and I stubbed my toes walking around on the carpet inside. The lack of forefoot padding is not good. The arch support is stiff and uncomfortable. All in all, these were a disappointment. I will have to return them.

I bought these to replace my old Ravennas. These are not as stylish or as comfortable, but am hoping they will do. Note to self, when I find another shoe I really like, buy several pairs as they always make changes and not necessarily for the better. There weren't a lot of options in a wide width, but I find the fabric that is the main part of the shoe not too attractive with the mottled color and the holes.

I have worn GTS for the last 7 years - these were really disappointing for support and fit. I returned them and will look at a different pair of shoes for walking and jogging.

Well this is my Brooks story. I have worn Brooks sneakers for years and have bought a lot of these on Zappos. I tried the GTS a while back. I liked the style but wasn't crazy about the comfort. There seems to be very little padding in the toe bed. I feel like I'm walking barefoot, it feels so hard. My feet were always sore and I couldn't wait to get home to take off my shoes. I tried buying up a half size to see if it would feel better but that didn't work. I bought the Ghost, which used to be one of my favorites but that shoe also is not comfortable. I don't know what they've done to their shoes but I am no longer a fan. I ordered a Sauconey yesterday and they came today. They feel great right out of the box. I haven't worn them out yet because I want to make sure I want them but my initial impression is a good one. I have had my Columbias on all day and my feet feel great. Very disappointing for me to have to give up on Brooks.

Runs short. Maybe half size.

I was excited to get these shoes as I have worn Brooks in the past for exercise walking on mostly paved areas. These ran small, and were really tight on my toes. I think the rubber webbing on the front made them feel that way. The color was pretty cool, but I did return them and bought a pair of New Balance.

I usually wear a 10W in Brooks. These felt a little short, and the toe box was narrower than previous styles I have worn. They are really cute, but I had to send them back.

I love Brooks running shoes and always buy a half size larger as I did with this pair. So I was very surprised to see how narrow they had made the toe box. Why do they have to mess with success? I did return these shoes.

I was excited to get these and try the Brooks brand because my husband has the earlier version of this shoe and he loves them. I received them and instantly loved the look of the shoe. I was thrilled they offered an 11.5 size because that’s my size and it’s hard to find. When I put them on though they were too small and the comfort was not there for my foot. I have flat feet and they didn’t support my foot enough. I may try exchanging for a 12 but because of the lack of comfort, I may just return them and go back to the tried and true ASICS.

Unfortunately, not as good as my old Ravennas. Will have to try the new Ravenna instead.

So disappointed to return these. I always order workout shoes a half size larger and even with that, these were too small; my feet went numb. Brooks are always generous in the toe box, but not these.

It was small, shorter than all my other size 7 running shoes. Cushioning was weak.

9N was too short. 9.5N was the right length. However in both the toe box was too shallow and pressed down on my big toenail. Hence I returned the shoes. Too bad, as I like the color and the heel padding is outstanding. I have not had this problem with Brooks previously.

Poorer quality than the previous version, which I have and is still holding up pretty well. Feels like the arches and heels are just not well made.

While the fit was good, I just did not feel that the quality and support are what they should be. The arch dropped after a short time, and then the shoe gave me achy feet.

I found the uppers to be too stretchy for me. Foot moved too much to get a snug fit. They stayed loose around the heels.

I have 3 pairs of Adrenaline GTS 17 and love the styling and color options as well as the comfort and support. While the Adrenaline GTS 18 sneakers offer the same fit and support, they lack the aesthetic appeal to me. I’ll wait for the GTS 19s to come out and make a decision about them.

Love the look of these Brooks. Size is smaller than my normal size. Must return them.
