Customer Reviews Brooks Adrenaline GTS 15

This generation of the Adrenaline seems to be narrower, tighter and shorter in length. Essentially, I can t tie the shoes unless I want to cut off my circulation. So, basically, I can t run in them. I wore them out, so I can t return them. I m disappointed in the inconsistency of these shoes generation to generation. Foot bed is nice. Shoes have held up in the past, but a real bummer that I can t tie them. The color combos of Adrenaline are usually garish, and this shoe is no exception.

I have had and loved the Brooks Adrenaline 13s and 14s, and I was really excited for 15s great colors. Unfortunately the footbed is shaped strangely, it seems too flat, and it is very stiff. The balls of my feet were getting tingly and numb just from trying them on around house. The toe box is narrower than in past which was disappointing. I had to return them.

This is not the same Brooks quality as in the past. The material is cheaper, parts of the shoe appear unfinished, and the 15's are NOT as well fitting as the 13's and 14's. I will not compromise my feet with this new poorer quality and fit, definitely cheaper quality for a higher price.

About seven years ago I purchased a pair of Brooks Adrenaline GTS 8. They are the most comfortable that I have ever had. They are just about worn out. I was so excited to find what I thought would be the same but to my disappointment they are not. They cause a drawing sensation on the ball of my foot which is very uncomfortable. What ever happened to the GTS 8 style? I should not mail order shoes. I need to try them on.

This is my third pair of Brooks that have gotten holes in them after three months of moderate wear. The shoes are comfortable but, at almost at this much a pair, I can't afford to replace them every three months. Guess I will be switching back to My other brand.

Brooks run small and I normally wear 11 but even the 12 was too small so had to order this 13 but it is way too wide. I feel bad having to return another shoe.

I am hoping the creator of the GTS reads our comments. The toe area has changed dramatically in the 15's and my toes are cramped! I bought 3 GTS 14's and they wore out so now I am wearing the 15's but my feet hurt after I am in them all day teaching PE!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE go back to the last of the 14's. They fit far superior.

After reading many reviews in running magazines recommending the Brooks Adrenaline for flat-footed runners, I decided to order these as one of the options to replace my Mizuno Wave Riders, which I felt did not provide sufficient support. I was disappointed to discover that these are clunky, heavy, and ill-fitting. I had heard such great things about Brooks, but the design felt overdone, too wide and short, like bricks laced to my feet. I ultimately bought the Nike Lunarglide 7.

This was the best shoe ever until 2015. No matter what size I try, my big toe hits the front, yet they are incredibly wide. It is like the shoe comes to a point-like a construction cone. I thought I would try men's but their reviews say the same thing-the fit has changed and it runs small. The problem is the shape will never give a good fit.

I bought this shoe because I loved the 14. I have worn them 4 times and every single time I get blisters on my heels. They are the correct size but the fit is just different.

In short, I am disappointed with the new model. My GTS 13's were amazingly comfortable. I am usually between a size B and D width, but could very comfortably wear a B width in Brooks GTS. These shoes were my gym shoes, training shoes, and everyday walking shoes. They packed on the miles fast so I decided to order the new model. I ordered a half size larger hearing that they were running small, I also ordered a wide width D because they were supposedly running a bit narrow. When I put them on they felt tight, but I thought maybe I had to break them in. Wore them for about a week and still they felt the same, in fact I found areas where the shoes had began rubbing my feet! My big toe was being rubbed raw on the side, and the heel was way too loose - even with using a runners knot! To add insult to injury I held up the factory GTS 13 size 8.5B women's insoles to GTS 15 size 9D women's insoles and found that the size 9D's were smaller in width than the 8.5B model! No wonder my feet were upset. I wrote to Brooks regarding the design and at length regarding the new fit issues. I heard they were really responsive to customer's so I hoped that they might take the feedback to heart and revise future models. I still have yet to hear anything back, but if this is the future of Brook's and any indication of their customer service... I think I will be taking my running needs elsewhere. I have heard of a few other brands that may be good to try, so I will keep trying on shoes hoping to find my new magic pair. Brooks GTS enthusiasts, be forewarned... the new model is nothing like the old. :(

I've purchased Brooks Adrenaline shoes for a couple of years and always loved them....until this model. Something has changed in the shape and feel of this shoe. The first couple of times I tried to wear them, my feet became so painful I had to take them off! Less cushion, not as stable and wholly uncomfortable.

I hate these, they made my feet hurt badly! I wear Brooks Launch, and I love those! The toe box is too roomy, there is no arch support, the sole too thin, I can feel bumps on the ground.

I've been wearing the Brooks Adrenaline GTS for a few years. I buy 2-3 pairs a year. The 15 is not comfortable. Very disappointing. I contacted Brooks and they told me the 15 runs smaller than in the past and to order a half size larger. I am waiting for the larger pair to arrive.

I bought these because I pronate and have plantar fasciitis, thinking they'd help with the support. I even took the little test on the Brooks website and it lead me to these. They have absolutely no support and my feet felt the exact same way they did after I wear a Converse Chuck Taylor---aching, tingling toes. Even my mom put them on and confirmed there was no support. I'm so disappointed because I've desperately been needing a shoe that works.

These are a completely different shoe from the Adrenaline 13 and 14s. They are much more narrow or cut off oddly around the toe box. I've got plenty of blisters on the inside of my feet already wearing them.

I checked with the Brooks website where you can answer a few questions and they will recommend a shoe. It said I should use the GTS. I never had a pair of them before. I am a little overweight and pronate a lot. I have gone through six pairs of Ghost 5 and 6 previously. The toe box has less space than I was used to. Even though my feet tend to be on the wider side of medium, they still felt ok. I wear a 9 1/2 in dress shoes and bought an 11 in the GTS. The length was fine. The shoe feels heavier and less flexible than I am used to. I have worn them everyday for a week now and while they are ok, I am not in love with them. There is very little "cushy" feel to them and even though my right foot is slightly longer than my left, the heel slips on them. Would I ever buy a 15 again. Definitely no. If I could send them back, I would. I will wear them, maybe for yard work but am going to try another style. A big disappointment.

Excited about getting my new shoes, the first pair after a month of wearing them got holes in the toes of both shoes . They were replaced with a new pair and to my surprise 2 1/2 months later well I have another hole in the toe of my shoe. Poor quality very disappointed in these shoes, since I've been a big fan of Brooks walking shoes.

Very disappointed with the 15's. I had two pairs of the 14's and I love the 14's. The 15's are nothing like the 14's. They are significantly smaller than the 14's and narrower. Buy at least one half size up from your size in the 14's. Brooks messed up by redesigning these shoes. I have been scouring the Internet buying size 10 14's...and I am running out of options. My size appears to be completely sold out...everywhere. I am training for my second Ironman race and comfortable running shoes are a must. I am so disappointed with the 15's. Caution...people. These are not the same as the 14's.

I started training for Boston in these shoes about a month and half before. I should have done my longer runs 14+miles in these shoes but I did not. Marathon Monday I wore these shoes and ended up losing two toenails and blisters on all my toes! I really hope the 16s come out soon because I'm a loyal Adrenaline buyer! I have bought only Adrenalines since the 9s. I do not recommend running a long distance in this shoe!

I was so disappointed in the GTS 15. I have been wearing Brooks Adrenalin shoes for three years now. They were recommended by my podiatrist. I loved them. Recommended them to my friends and family. The 12's, 13's and 14's were the best athletic shoes I have ever worn. I wear an extra wide width and these felt much tighter than the other years editions so they weren't comfortable at all. I thought maybe if I wore them a while my feet would adjust to them. It just made my feet hurt more. Finally gave them to a friend. Brooks Shoes, please, please bring back the GTS 14's!!!

I am very disappointed in the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 15. I have been buying the Brooks Adrenaline for the past five years and they have always been a good fit. But it seems the last for the Adrenaline 15 has changed significantly and not for the better. The front of the shoe has been made narrower while the heel seems wider so my heel slips. I have also suffered an injury likely due to the narrow front of the shoe. Note that I have narrow feet (size 3A) and the ball of this shoe is still too narrow.

So bummed! I was very excited to get these! I needed new running shoes so bad! They are my first pair of Brooks for running- I thought I'd splurge since my friends swear by Brooks. I've always been a New Balance or Asics fan. Although the cushioning/shock absorption is nice, and my knees felt good during my 5 mile run, my toes and the balls of my feet were completely numb- beginning in the first quarter mile... It was like running with club feet. What a bummer... I will give them a few more runs to see if I can work them in. If it changes, I'll update my review. However, I DO NOT recommend purchasing this style of Brooks running shoes for running, unless you like to run with club feet.

I cannot tell you how disappointed I am with the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 15. I have been buying the Adrenaline GTS's for the last 7-8 years - always the same size and never disappointed. Brooks has obviously changed the sizing on this latest model and I am at a loss as to why. It took me a good year to find a shoe that correctly fit my flat feet. I had issues for many years with my toes going numb and/or developing serious cramping in my feet. Since my feet are flat, they are slightly wide. I also have very bad knees (just had one replaced in December) and I mildly over-pronate. Brooks Adrenaline was a God-send all those years ago. I wear a 9.5 in other shoes, and I purchased these in a 10 - they used to fit like a dream. No more cramping, no more numb toes, my custom orthotics fit perfectly and I could go for miles. The GTS 15's now do not fit through the heel and slip like crazy. So much so that my no-see socks (that I have always worn) now bunch up at the heel just from walking around the house in these for about 10 minutes. I re-laced them for heel slippage, even tightened them up (too much, as then my toes went numb) and nothing worked. Just sitting at my desk working, my toes went numb. When I got up to walk around, the heels rub against the shoe and my socks (I tried 3 different pair, even trying a pair of ankle socks) would bunch up. I don't know why Brooks changed them so much, but I am bitterly disappointed that I have to return these shoes. Guess I'll spend another year trying to find a different brand that fits.

In spite of the reviews, I decided to try these shoes since I have run in the Adreline GTS 10 for years. What a difference and not in a good way. Beautiful style but the toebox is tight and puts pressure on the big toes. They were uncomfortable to try on, never mind attempting to walk or run in them.
