Customer Reviews Brooks Adrenaline GTS 15

I've been buying the adrenaline GTS model for years but was a bit disappointed this time. The fit was great, but, the tongue of one of the shoes had a bulge in it which caused irritation. Furthermore, after wearing the shoe for a week all of the stitching along the sides of the tongue came undone. I had to exchange them, great shoe but poor quality.

Very disappointed with Brooks! I "found" the Adrenaline shoe about 6 years ago and have been buying a new pair every 6 months as I walk 6 days a week in them. I wear a wide shoe and these "fit" my foot better than anything I had every worn. This year they must have changed the shoe as I had to move up another half size and the toe has become less rounded at the top. It's also very ridged. I will now have to begin searching for new shoes. Why didn't you leave them as they were?

I've always loved Brooks Adrenaline and have run in them for years, but unfortunately the GTS 15 model did not work well for my bunion. I have to return them and hope the next model leaves more space. I found one of the lines of stitching and tough fabric intersected that part of my foot.

When it ain't broke, don't fix it. I have been a regular Adrenaline wearer for many years, regularly moving up in models as they introduced new versions. I really love all the colors for Adrenaline 15 but they messed with the sizing on these shoes. Everyone I talked to said their regular Adrenaline sizing didn't work for these 15s, so I went up a half a size... and whoa nelly! It was tolerable in a shorter run (figuring I just needed to break them in) but then I ran a marathon distance, and my feet were in agony after about mile 15. I discovered blisters in places I never had with Adrenalines before. I tested different sizes, and to get enough breathing room in the toe box, I discovered I had to move up 1.5 sizes! YOUCH! There's something wrong with that picture. Please bring regular sizing back to these otherwise wonderful shoes, Brooks.

I have been purchasing Brooks for years and know to select a half size larger. However, this shoe feels shorter than the other Brooks Adrenalines in that my large toe actually hits the top of the shoe and is too uncomfortable to wear.

I love my older model Brooks Adrenalines and was excited to receive an updated version. Have always worn right out of the box with no breaking in required. Love Brooks. However, these are cut much wider in the toe and have very little cushion in that area. After 2 days running, have blisters on my big toes from the rubbing. Just not snug enough to cushion and hold the front part of the foot. Have tried tightening the laces but doesn't help. (I have medium width feet.) Disappointed but since i've already worn them, can't return :/ not the same.

I agree with others who have reviewed this shoe. It has been redesigned with a smaller toe box and less cushioning. I used to LOVE brookes adrenaline...not any more.

I was very disappointed with these Brooks. I wore for 30 minutes and they chewed the back of my heels up. I also didn't feel that there was any arch support. I can't return because I wore, very very disappointed. I will, however, go back to my favorite Transcend.

These sneakers are all right. I got extra-wide, which I didn't need, because my toes always go through on Brooks, and now they're actually too wide. Too late to exchange them. I hope at least my toes won't break through after a few months.

I am a big fan of Brooks Adrenaline. They are one of the few running shoes that offer EE width. The GTS 15 is not EE. The design has been changed so that there is a support band that runs right across my bunion that becomes very painful to walk in. The shoe is stiffer, which is not a bad thing and my orthotics fit well, but overall disappointed. Typically Adrenalines are the only shoes I wear because of a collapsed arch. I buy 2 pairs a year and I can't wear these at all! Also I really hate that EE isn't offered in all colors for this model! Don't know what I'll do. Really disappointed!

I have purchased extra wide Brooks sneakers before. The toe box of this model was noticeably more shallow and narrow. Disappointing...I will give the Addiction model a try instead because this pair is going back.

This was be my forth year buying Adrenaline GTS. In the past I have loved all of them. Some years colors were beater than others but I could not say anything bad about them. I have wide feet and loved the prior GTS. I am 5'2" and 110 pounds but have wide feet. The years GTS 15 model is uncomfortable. My normal size 8D was too tight and the 8½D heel keeps slipping off. I returned both of them and now I am going to have to try to find a different brand. What a shame as they changed great shoes.

These are much less comfortable than I expected. They are painful in the bunion areas and sometimes on the top of one foot. I am working to customize them. Disappointing, because last year I tried a similar Brooks model, first time ever, and loved them, still do.

After reading reviews I purchased a 1/2 size larger than normal but they are too big. These shoes have a wide toe area and I thought the added arch support was not very comfortable for my feet, however these shoes were like walking on clouds when I was wearing them around the house to try out.

These do not run true to size. This will be my fifth pair of Adrenalines. I normally wear a 10 in sports shoes. I always had to get a 10½ in Brooks. My toes rub in these shoes. I will have to exchange them for an 11. They are pretty shoes!

Really wanted to love these, but just don't fit my foot. Tried 8.5 and left big toe hit inside end. Tried 9 and same thing. I think the to box is just very round and not straight enough at the inside.

The toe area of this shoe is roomy, the overall shoe felt good except the outside edge was hard. I wore them in the house for an hour & it just hurt. The shoe is so lightweight & cute, but back it goes.

I normally wear a wide in New Balance, but thought I would try these. They are similar in length, but run narrower than the competitors shoe. I am waiting for another version that comes in WW to see if it will fit.

I ordered wide but it felt like a regular. The inside seemed much stiffer, it hurts my bunion. I will keep searching.

I have had several pairs of GTS 14. The GTS 15 seems to have a shorter toe box. Even going up a half size did not keep my toe from rubbing on inside of shoe. The left shoe on the larger pair even looks and feels shorter than the right one.

I am a 9 1/2 Wide, and use these sneakers for everyday walking and exercising...when I remove the insert that comes with them they fit my orthotic well. Unfortunately these did not fit me like last year's GTS 14, which I love! Same exact size, and these felt short in the length - my big toe was feeling the edge of the shoe. I am returning these and keeping a new pair of the GTS 14's to replace my worn ones...I suppose I will have to try a 10 Wide when the 14's wear out and are no longer available.

I have worn Brooks Adrenaline GTS for many years and have been more than happy....until GTS 15. Wow...what in the world happened to this series!? The only thing I ended up liking about this shoe was the color and look of the shoe. The size was off, the comfort was off, the support was off. When running I felt like I was plodding along. I really believe the foot problems I encountered was because of this specific shoe. I was so tempted to try another make I was that dissatisfied. So, when GTS 16 came out, I gave it a try and...yay!!...for me, just like old times. Somebody, somewhere must have listened to customers like me because I am very aware there were A LOT of very unhappy customers with the GTS 15. I am happy so far with my GTS 16! Happy running to all.

This model is not the same as previous models. The fit is not as comfortable, even though I ordered the same size as always. I'm disappointed.
