I've worn the Brooks Adrenaline for over 15 years. The 15 model runs short. I ordered in my usual 10N originally, and found it short (as did gobs of other reviewers across multiple sites). I exchanged it for a 10.5N. The 10.5N is too wide in the heel making my heel slip and it's lightly long. I took out the liner from my GTS 14 in a 10 and measured it against the GTS 15 in a 10.5. The heel is in fact wider and the length of the 10.5 is also longer than the 10 (note the new 10 was shorter). I just want the old sizing back! As I require a narrow shoe, my choices are limited. Otherwise I have always loved the Adrenaline, so hopefully they'll make positive changes with the next model.

I love these shoes so far. The only issue may be that they tend to supinate my feet. Was that the intention of the manufacturer? Other than that I love them, NB has become unreliable. I am a Brooks gal now.

I was so incredibly excited to see these cool shoes. I LOVE the look and feel of these shoes, but they were too small. I normally wear a 13 in womens and Brooks only goes up to a size 13, and I need a 13.5. I'm planning on exchanging them for another shoe. Thank you Zappos for your no hassle return policy. I love shopping at Zappos, and have been a loyal customer for years.

I am a 9.5W and like most, go up 1/2 to 1 size for sports shoes. I have a Tailor's bunion or bunionette, which means only the front of my foot is Wide. And I over-supinate. These GTS 15s replaced an older pair of Adrenalines. They do not seem quite as comfortable or supportive, but they're not bad. Not great for Brooks, but still better than other brands. Based on reviews I went up a whole size to a 10.5W. Fit is fine, plenty of room in toe-box, width is good. Probably could have used a 10W but I figure a 10.5W leaves more room for thickly padded running socks and for my custom sports orthotics. I have noticed a bit of a squeak from the sole sometimes; thankfully that's rare. I got the Peacoat/Purple Cactus Flower/Fresh Salmon. So happy this color-combo came in a Wide. I totes love 'em. They can be worn for casual use. Would maybe prefer a non-white side-base, but this is more reflective at night. (If you're looking for a sneaker with real engineering for supination, I recommend the Brooks Ariels. I have those too. They are the best shoe, but not so high on the Cute-ometer. Though this year's color scheme whoops last year's baby steps, Brooks designers. I reserve Ariel strictly for workouts.) As always, Zappos is great in allowing me to try many styles in several sizes. And VIP shipping can't be beat. No hassle, no wait, no brainer!

Runs shorter than every previous model by at least a half size. I've worn this shoe for 15+ years and this one is short. In researching the issue, I've noticed other reviewers have said the same, also noting it to be more narrow and a firmer, less comfortable run. I wear a narrow and am so tired of this being the only color option except with the GTS 14 model which offered 2 colors. Otherwise a loyal fan of this shoe for my moderate pronation, very low arch, and narrow feet.

I've been wearing the Adrenaline for many years so was really bummed to have to return these and search for a new model. The GTS 15 redesign no longer suits my feet or stride. My bunion on one foot was pinched and the outside border of my other foot fell asleep after running ~ 1 mile. I had to return home and had a very sore right foot the entire next day. I typically can put on a new pair of Adrenalines with no break-in time and run for miles with no problems. Very sad day for me. I wear an 8.5 B width so maybe moving up to a Wide will help.

I had to purchase a full size larger due to how tight my toes were in normal and half size larger. The larger size feels fine and I am pleased- just surprised how large I had to go!

I have tried many, many pairs of running shoes and this shoe fits me the best. I have a wide toe box and narrow heel. I did need the roominess of the extra wide however. The Adrenalie 14 felt hard underfoot, the 15 feel much better to me.

I previously owned a pair of Adrenaline GTS 14. These were the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. Of course when it came time to replace them, a new model the GTS 15 had taken its place. The 15 did not fit the same and are not as comfortable. I first tried them in a wide which worked before in the GTS 14, but the wide in the 15 was not wide enough. So I returned and exchanged for a EE. I gave them a try, but they just do not work for me. I wish these companies would stop changing a perfectly good shoe. This is just my opinion. I have problem feet, so now I don't know what to order.

This will be my eighth pair (in five years) of Brooks Adrenaline and I keep buying them because of the extra wide width. When I opened these, the shoes felt much lighter than previous pairs - I am not sure if they are designed that way on purpose, but they also feel different than others. My first thought was they were knock offs. I am still not convinced they are the same quality as in the past. As a matter of fact my last pair wore through the top at big toe in much less time than any before. I put them on and wore them without a thought so I cannot return them, but I am not sure that I will buy again.

These shoes were very comfortable and I have been a Brooks fan for a long time. Unfortunately, the sole of these shoes kept falling off for me. The small little pieces on the bottom would come off and end up random place around my home and work. I exchanged them twice and the same result each time. All the versions of these have the same bottom sole, so unfortunately, I had to switch to different shoes for running.

Good all-purpose shoe for zumba, low-impact cardio, and walking. I wear size 7 in street shoes, had to buy an 8 for comfort and fit.

Loved the adrenaline GTS14, but these are definitely slightly narrower in the toe box. Disappointing because these are the best GTS colors so far.

This shoe ran an 1/2 size smaller than my previous Brooks but the width was nice. The toe box was plenty wide, which is where I usually have a problem, but the ball of my foot became numb with walking and there was a piece of fabric over the logo on the side of the foot that was bunching. I returned these and went back to the Ghost 8. Thank you Zappos for the wonderful service and return policies.

Long time fan of Brooks but the sizing on this shoe is odd. Normally wear a 10 but had to return first pair because toe box was too short. Ordered the 10.5 which is the right length in the toe but loose in the heal. I kept them but am not very impressed with the fit. I use these for weight lifting and cycling classes.

I have had a pair of 13s that I live in, but the 15s just did not feel as good. These were significantly narrower, and the soles have no give. I did not even try taking them out for a run as they would have felt like running on Legos. Off to find a new go-to.

Alas - I fall into the category of people who were longtime Brooks GTS devotees, and for whom this new version does not fit. I think I've had Brooks shoes since GTS 7 or 8, and could reliably order a new pair every year with perfect fit (in an 8.5). For these: the 8.5s were too small at the front (my toes jammed against the front), but the 9s were too big at the back (my heels had too much space and were rubbing). So sad. Brooks - why did you change a great thing?

After wearing the Glycerin style for a few years, I find the Adrenaline kind of clunky. The sole feels thicker and not very flexible. It definitely runs small in length and width.

Loved the GTS14. I knew right away there was a big difference in the GTS15. 14 felt like slippers...all day long. 15 hurt my toes from the get go. I even cut holes to relieve pressure points If I would have known in advance of the drastic difference I would have bought up every GTS14 in my size!

Ouch! Wish I had read the reviews first. This is my 4th pair of Brooks Adrenaline, but this year's edition is quite different from years past. The toe box is designed differently, and within 10 minutes of moderate walking (not even running), my toes were going numb. The shoes are not too small, there is just something with the design of the over-cushioned heel that pushes your foot forward, and the toe box being cut strangely. Anyhow, a disappointment. I recall the GTS 12 having similar issues. I'm going to scour the internet for a pair of 13s or 14s.

This shoe was such a disappointment! I love the adrenaline 14s. My running significantly improved after purchasing that shoe. It was time to retire my current pair, so I tried the 15s. They fit nothing like the 14s. I took them for a test run and my left foot was numb before mile 2. Additionally, my feet got so hot! The other negative reviews were 100% true. After an extensive search, I bought the Asics GT-3000 3. The fit is very close to the 14s and my test run was a success. I wanted to write this review to hopefully save others from the research process.

I'm very disappointed by the 15's. I have had Brooks Adrenaline for about the last ten pairs of running shoes and I love them, so I was open to try the new version. I didn't like them in the store but I decided to give them a try, but they were nowhere near the same. Less support in the heels because they changed the gel pad so my legs and feet hurt. I have to go find a new shoe now and it's very sad because I LOVE Brooks Adrenaline. I really wish the company would go back to the old model.
