Brooks Adrenaline GTS 18

I've worn Adrenalines since 2003, and this is the first time the shoes felt a bit narrower in the toes. I could only wear thin socks for the first 4-5 months until they compressed a little. This was only a problem in one shoe, as one foot is a bit wider. I also felt the treads on the shoes wore down faster than previous Adrenalines.

I did like the softer and lower heel backing. I do still plan to keep wearing Adrenalines.

I absolutely LOOOOOVE the Brooks Adrenaline shoe. As a runner with extremely flat feet it provides the support I need without having to use orthotics. I highly recommend for anyone who is looking at a support shoe!

I have worn Brooks Adrenaline for the last 10 years and I am disappointed with the changes over that time. I love the Adrenaline for its support and solid feel, but I think the GTS 18 is too soft. Perhaps the idea was to make the shoe feel more cushioned, but as someone who overpronates a good deal, I want the support!

Outstanding in fit, durability, and comfort.

After four years of loving this model, they changed and I now have shin splints, calf lockups and what felt like a stress fracture building the day I quit wearing them. So disappointed and not sure where to go from here.

It's a support shoe. The vendor assessed me and said I needed it. My podiatrist said they were wrong and it's not the right shoe. The material around the foot opening came apart after first wearing. The mesh material is flimsy. The shoe is not as robust as previous versions in my opinion. I would advise being cautious about being told you need a support shoe. My podiatrist told me to use the orthotic insoles she proscribed, and use with a neutral shoe (which should be a lot cheaper than the support shoe). Also the orange / black colour is not to my liking.

I have run in the Brooks GTS Adrenaline for the last 10 years or so. The cushioning works well for my stride and I find them very comfortable. They have lasted a long time through all weather (including snow) but I find that over time my toes will poke through the mesh. Their appearance is pretty good but not great. They are expensive so I usually try to purchase old versions to save money.

I wouldn’t say the GTS 18 is perfect, but they never give me any problems and helped me achieve a 3:30 London Marathon at the age of 47 ??

I have run in this shoe for almost 10 years. I have tried others but always come back to this one. It's now the only shoe I run in.

I've been running in Brooks for the past three years and have really grown accustomed to their feel and look. I ran in the Ravenna 8's and loved them. Then they came out with the 9's and it felt like a completely different shoe. I was worried about finding another shoe I liked as much as the Ravenna. I talked to my coach and went to the local running shoe dispensary and they recommended the Adrenaline's and I haven't looked back since. Very comfortable shoe, might not be the coolest looking shoe, but I don't get the nagging injuries that always seemed to come with the Ravennas. The Adrenaline's are a great shoe for someone who doesn't like to run with mini-vans on their feet but is still looking for a little something to support their foot.
