Ironically I'm not a runner to be a fan of Brooks shoes, however, as a long-distance walker, usually with heavy loads on my back. I found out that a good pair of shoes with absorbance and bouncing sole will make my journey less tiring and reduce my backache.
So far, I've owned three pairs of Brooks - and every shoe will last for 3-4 years, and as daily wear, it was excellent to me! My first pair of Brooks I owned was back in 1993-94. At that time Brooks was a name that wasn't famous at all in Malaysia, I bought a pair of it in Central Market, Kuala Lumpur, in a torn box, on sale for about RM80.
After so many years, I found out that Brooks is a brand that is not cheap at all, and it was so difficult to find this brand back then. But now in 2020, you can get it in so many (selected) shopping malls - again it is not cheap unless it is on sale!
I can't remember the name of the first pair I bought back in the 90s (it was grey), however, after my 2nd pair, the GTS 13 (as shown in the photo below), I bought a pair of New Balance. I bought a pair of Reebok Classic, and now I got another chance to get a couple of GTS 19...seriously it feels like home...once you are on GTS, you will always go on GTS...it is durable, enough room for your toes, heavy-duty and you will love it...
(I'll wear a pair of shoes until the sole peels off and unfixable...then only I'll ditch it for a new pair)

Relax...just watch and explore - the same design but different materials.
