Customer Reviews Brooks Adrenaline GTS 15

Good shoes! I have very wide difficult to fit feet. I bought a size 6.5 extra wide. Lots of support. I love Zappos because if my shoes don't fit, I can send them back. I wear orthotics and my feet are actually different sizes. True to size.

I'm not a runner, but bought these for aerobics. I have a very wide foot, which limits my options. My daily shoes are regular width Birkenstock Bostons (size 40). A 9 1/2 EE in this style was the only extra width athletic type shoe I found that didn't pinch my toes together. They offer good support and cushion and there's a ridge in the footbed that helps hold the heel in place. I would have chosen a less flashy color option if I'd had a choice.

The Adrenaline GTS 15 is nothing like its predecessors. I have worn the Adrenaline model for 3-4 years because of its arch support which helps to counter my pronation tendency. I ordered this shoe originally in Size 9 and it was way too small. In the end I had to order a Size 10N, a full size larger than what I have previously worn in Brooks. I also had to order the Narrow size, which I never had to before. The shoe works for me, but it does not feel like the Adrenalines I have purchased before. The comfort and support level do not match prior year models. Overall, I would say the shoe will be adequate for my needs, but I hope Brooks does not continue to change their design and engineering.

Great shoe, love the colors, the breathability & the support, it just runs about 1/2 size too small, so I am exchanging it for the next 1/2 size up.

A little short in the toe box, and I always size up. A little shallow for prescription orthotics. Good shoe.

I've had a few pairs of these shoes before and been very happy. This years model looks great but seems to be sized a bit bigger. I can just make them work for my half size smaller foot when they were fine before. And they are noisy on pavement. I walk, don't run. So these are just under the "send them back" threshold.

Love this shoe but had to exchange for a half size up with the GTS 15... the toe box is tighter and smaller than the last model.

I bought these shoes in the exact size and style that I have ordered and worn for 4 years...Size 8 narrow. So glad to have them, I threw them in my luggage and left for my trip. Wanting to look spiffy in new shoes, I put them on and wore them. After about 45 minutes, I realized that the fit was different. I changed into thinner socks....no difference. The toe box is shorter. and not tapered which is what worked swell for me. Perhaps I should have ordered an 8 1/2, but I normally wear a 7 1/2 narrow in my Clarks and other shoes. I am disappointed and find I'm wearing my old ones instead of the new ones. My advice is to wear them inside on carpet for a while to make sure they are right for you and return them if they are not.

I have used the Brooks Adrenaline 13 and 14, and love them. The GTS 15 were a huge disappointment. First, I had to give this pair away because of the size difference. It wasn't immediately noticeable and I ran a couple of weeks in them, which resulted in knee and foot injuries. I did notice, right from the start, that the fit wasn't EXACTLY right, but I thought they needed to be broken in. The heel felt off and my socks kept sliding down. I gave up, and bough a 1/2 size larger. Improved the comfort and I can successfully run, however they are still not like the previous model. The heel area is still problematic; laces are too long; and it doesn't wrap my foot like a glove the way the previous models did. Unfortunately, I don't live somewhere where I can run off to a store to get fitted for a different brand shoe. But as soon as I get back to the US, that's the first thing I'm doing. Sad, I really liked the previous model.

As others have stated this new model is shorter than the last edition. It did not force me to go to a bigger size but it was noticeable. I love the stability this shoe provides!

I loved the style and needed all black running shoes. I could not keep these shoes because they had no arch support even with my bulky custom orthodics. I had to go to Mem's Addiction which worked.

I love the new look of the Adrenaline 15. The colors are of our Chicago Bears. The fit is still great, however the cushioning is not as great as the 14. The sole seems stiffer to me, and I feel the impact more than the 14's. I am disappointed in those regards. Good looking though, and I will wear for exercise classes; however, not enough cushioning for my running days. Also, I did need a 1/2 size larger. I don't understand that.

I love this shoe for running. It was first recommended to me by my physical therapist as quality shoe for running that will help prevent injury, especially plantar faciitis. This pair replaced my worn out Adrenaline 13's and initially felt smaller. It may have been because they have substantial padding support or because my old ones were so worn. Once I've put more miles on these (broken them in) they should conform nicely to my feet. Still the most comfortable runners I've ever had. I run about 12 miles a week.

These seem much smaller in length than the previous 4 models of this sneaker. I just took it for a run and my toes were getting crushed. I always buy a half size up in running sneakers. I would recommend a whole size up in these.

Not enough cushion, so I ordered the Glycerin 13. Hoping that shoe has the cush I am looking for.

I've been running in Adrenalines for probably 10-12 years, and these fit completely different than previous versions. For the first time in my life, I had to switch to a wide width because I got horrible blisters in the regular because the toe box is so narrow. Thankfully the wide width fits great so I don't have to move to a different shoe. I'm hoping the 16s go back to a more accurate fit. Otherwise this is still my favorite running shoe, hands down.

I got these to replace a pair of Hoka's that ruined my running. I always wore the Adrenalin 14's but since they are no more, I switched to the 15's. Have only run in them 2 times. I sized up a half size as suggested, the fit is okay in length but wide in the forefoot and I have chubby feet. They are stiffer in the soles than past Brooks shoes and seem like they will need a "breaking in" period.

This is a great running shoe, but I liked the old model better. Brooks updated this shoe about a year ago and it now runs a little small, so I had to size up a 1/2 size. The 1/2 size up is a little too big, but the 1/2 size down is too small. I sure wish Brooks would have left well enough alone with this model. That being said, it is my go to shoe. I'm 5'3", 130 lbs, and I run about 30 miles a week, plus I use them to walk the dog and for Cross Fit.

This is a decent shoe but not as comfortable as its predecessor, the GTS 13. I really wish shoe companies would not feel the need to change shoe styles every year or two...

Unfortunately, this shoe does not stay true to size. I found it to be more narrow and actually shorter. I always wear the same size and width in Brooks. This pair, I would need to go up another 1/2 size and up in width. Ouch!

TRIED TO LOVE THEM: I bought these sneakers in my usual size, 7D,for walking. I've worn and loved Brooks Adrenaline GTS for many years. I need the support, stability, high, wide toe box and and pronation-control they provide. However, for several weeks I've been auditioning these sneakers at home to no avail. Thick socks, thin socks, special lacing techniques etc. nothing helped. My heels kept slipping so I returned them!

I have had this show for the last two years and loved it. I have a narrow foot but the beginnings of bunions so I like a wide toe box. This year's model runs a little small - my toes can feel the outside edges of the shoe, and if I don't lace them super tight, the front edge as well. I should've returned them and gone up a half size but at first it didn't seem that noticeable.

The've changed the sizing! I've been wearing Adrenaline GTS shoes for 6 years. This year the fit is AT LEAST a half size smaller. I didn't listen to the other reviewer so I had to return. Order a half size larger. Previously, I've loved these shoes.

I have been wearing Brooks Adrenaline for at least the last four years in the same size, 9½. This version says they are a bit smaller and they are. My big toe in a 9½, in these touched the top of the shoe and the toe box seemed much tighter, in general they were just too small. I ordered the 10 and will be keeping them but they feel almost too big. I ran a quick three miles in them and my foot felt like it was sliding forward and my heel slipped more than with other versions of this shoe. I feel like they are less flexible in the front and mid part of the shoe as I ran and my feet were really hot, too. They were very well padded and are comfortable for normal wear and walking and still have good support for the moderate pronator if you have the right foot for them. It boggles my mind why Brooks would completely change the sizing, length and width, so much. I will be keeping these but may need to search for something with a better fit.
