Customer Reviews Brooks Adrenaline GTS 15

I've been wearing Brooks Adrenaline GTS for 10+ years, but this version didn't work for me. Both shoes rubbed the back of my ankles, and the left shoe made my ankle ache!

These Brooks Adrenaline GTS 15s definitely run small. I ordered my usual size 9, but they were tight/short. I am going to try half a size larger to see how they feel. Hopefully I will not have to return them again for a full size larger.

Long time adrenaline user. Bought the latest version (15) and after 2 runs I am having to take them back. The glued in lining on both shoes is peeling off. Very disappointed as the Adrenaline line has always worked for me. After reading reviews I now realize how many changes were made so there is no reason for me to use them.

I have worn the GTS 12, 13,and 14 and they all fit and preformed great. So when my GTS 15's arrived, I decided to wear them, even though the first impression was that the fit had changed drastically. Sorry to say that I am very disappointed. These fit like they are a full size smaller; the toe box is too short. The arch is also short and my foot slid further forward when walking. Also, the sole isn't as tacky as previous versions and slips a bit when I'm on an elliptical. The foot bed is hard and left me with foot pain in the ball and heel. I wear a narrow size, and the shoe is deeper so that it cuts into my ankle when laced. I'm going to miss my "trusty" this season.

They changed the fit. These are shorter and narrower than the GTS 14. I ordered a half size larger but they do not fit as well as GTS 14. Disappointed because I really liked these shoes. Can hardly stand to wear the new ones. Stuck with them because I thought they would break in.

I have loved the previous Brooks Adrenaline shoes for several years. This one is a bummer. It doesn't have enough cushioning, the arch isn't the same, like it is too far back and the shoe is too wide. It is an uncomfortable shoe. I don't like the blue tongue either. White would have looked better. I hope that this isn't the way the next model feels because I won't like them if they are.

They're cute, I'll give them that. I do love purple, and it's nice to have a colorful choice in Wide, they didn't have that on previous models. But they're not NEARLY as comfy as the 14 model, even after I returned the wrong size (watch out for size changes from 14 to 15!) to switch for the "right" one. The toe-box shape is different, even in the "correct" size, they rub my big toe weirdly, and the inside hasn't softened up even after a few weeks of wearing them. I just took off my casual Clarks loafers and realized they're more comfy than my "comfy running shoes" and that's just sad. Looks like I'll have to take a trip to the brick'n'mortar running-shoe store to find a new favorite.

I wish I had paid closer attention to the reviews because I now have an unwearable pair of shoes and I'm going to have to buy something else to replace them. I've worn the same size and width of Adrenalines for years. I did try both the medium and wide and felt the toe box was about the same in both but the heel too loose in the wide. So I kept the medium despite the snugness in the toebox, I thought they'd be ok with some wear. Like another reviewer stated, the bottoms of my feet are tingling, my little toes are red and sore and I'm not putting them back on for another try. I've worn them about 5 times and it's clear its not getting better.

I too found the 14 to be perfect for me. I tried the 15 on in the store and knew right away they were not the same, as I had trouble even getting my foot into the sneaker. I am now shopping for 14 leftovers online. I will have to wait a year to see if Brooks fixes the narrow shoe they made for 2015.

Really Brooks? I loved the 14 version of these shoes. Perfect, lightweight, stability, great for overpronators. These shoes? Hurt when the ball of the foot strikes. My foot flops around like a dead fish. The toe box has been shortened.

My athletic shoe of choice is now Brooks. I have worn them for several years. I ordered the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 15 and sprayed them with a protective water and stain spray like I always do, and the black vinyl parts of the shoe turned silver. I talked to a representative of Zappos, and they have taken care of this problem. I will continue to shop Zappos!

I've been trying to find a replacement for my GTS 12s in 10 Wide since I was pleased with them for my bunions+flat feet but they are worn out. I'm normally a 9-9.5 shoe but know to go up to at least a 10 with sneakers. I got these GTS 15s in the peacoat/purple 10W, a good color combo to go with black pants. These felt just a bit more narrow than my older ones and, unfortunately, the "plastic" on top of the mesh sides of the forefoot did not perform the same as the plastic+woven strap that was on my GTS 12s...bothered my bunions after an hour of wearing them around the house. Also, I started to experience numbness in my feet after that short time which never happened with my 12s. I often experience numbness like that with cheaper sneakers. So, these 15s went back and the search will continue.

Should have listened to the other reviews. I have worn Brooks Adrenaline for years, but these are way too small even though I ordered the same size. Am happy with the Brooks Glycerin so far. Extremely comfortable.

I hate these shoes! They hurt my toes and the sides of my feet. I ordered wide, and a half size bigger. My toes are totally crunched and the overlays on the top of the shoes rub against my feet and cause pain. Was really hoping to love these shoes, but they are awful, and I cannot return them because I have already worn them. They did not start to hurt until about four hours into my shift at work. I was limping around for the rest of the time. They felt fine when I put them on in the morning. I am truly disappointed.

I have been wearing Brooks Adrenaline for about 3yrs and have recommended them to several people. The last few pairs I purchased have not been good at all. The support is just not there they seem to give out in a week and the instant comfort I would feel putting them on is not the same. I am not at all happy and will have to find something else. The people I recommended them to say the same. Are they doing something different in the manufacturing because they seem cheaply made. I could by cheaper shoes and be uncomfortable.

My feet feel great but I have never had such lower back, hip and leg pain in my life as I have with these shoes. I thought by the third day, my body would adjust but it's not happening. This is my third pair of Adrenalines so I felt confident ordering these online. If I had not thrown the box away, these puppies would be going back to Zappo's. Unfortunately I will have to eat them. I hope they taste better than they feel.

I started wearing Brooks Adrenaline about 7 plus years ago when I was finally fitted for sneakers following a diagnosis of unbearable plantar fasciitis. It has been completely gone until I bought this latest pair of Brooks Adrenaline and now its back again. I am shocked Brooks has changed the wonderful tried and true sneaker so much. What an expensive and literally painful mistake.

I've had GTS 11, 12, and 14 and loved them all. They were the most comfortable shoes I ever had. However, these did not work for me. I wear 11W. Size 11 was too small, so I ordered 11.5W. But it is narrower than prior releases. It was scraping the sides of my feet. After a few minutes, I knew I had to remove them. I ordered the wider one, and that was just too wide. I will be returning it. Time to look for another shoe. :(

I was excited when the shoes arrived. Love the color. Sadly, they run very narrow. They do not live up to the standard I'm used to as with my last two pairs of Brooks GTS.

I agree with another poster that the previous versions of the Adrenaline were perfect. These feel totally different and are much too narrow even in the "wide" sizing. It appears to just be the blue and lime color combo. The "peacoat and purple" colored ones seem to fit like the "old" Adrenalines did. I'm considering ordering the EE width to see if those work.

I've been wearing Brooks GTS since I got my orthotics - this is my 5th pair. I got these for Christmas. I wear them a) during the work day, while sitting at a desk and b) on the occasional 2-mile walk, possibly 1x/week. I'm not even exercising in these things. Not only did this pair feel uncomfortable, after 6 months of fairly minimal use, I have worn holes in the sides of the shoes (at the little toe) and on the TOP of one shoe, kind of between big and second toe. I don't understand how that hole could possibly have happened. I am angry that I spent money on a shoe that wore out to the point it's unwearable (white socks poking out of the dark gray mesh) after only SIX months! What would have happened if I'd been exercising like I used to, 3+ miles daily? I will be finding another brand.

Finally a Brooks shoe that has wide toe box as long as you order the extra wide. No cushion in this footbed at all. I overpronate and I am not sure if there was pronation control - it did not feel like it, yet there was supposed to be. Support was definitely lacking in this shoe too - overall the only good thing was the roomy toe box other then that a very short trip to the store has me in a lot of pain.
