Customer Reviews Brooks Adrenaline GTS 16

What has Brooks done to their fit this year? Like every other Brooks I have tried on this year, the toe box has shrunk, it is not tall enough and has been made more narrow. Unhappy because I loved the looks of this shoe and it seemed very well made. The last three years the Brooks fit has been off a little more each year, and this year they are completely unwearable for me. I have bought nothing but Brooks for about ten years but I will be finding a new brand as the changes have made their shoes utterly unwearable for me.

I have worn Brooks running shoes for several years and have had six pairs of Adrenalines. I thought Brooks had solved the Adrenaline sizing problem from 2015. Apparently not. I purchased the GTS 16 and had to return them for a half size larger than I usually wear. The larger size is still not true to size. The GTS 16 is a real disappointment. I am going to go back Saucony.

Just like the GTS 15, these shoes do not appropriately accommodate larger widths. The GTS 14 was my last shoe that felt good on my feet. The extra width is not where it needs to be, instead it is more on the outer side of the shoe, squeezing my big toe. :(

Great comfortable shoe. Great color. Had to go to a wide but all shoes of late seem to be running narrow.

I love brooks shoes, but the newer versions are not as good. Previous versions are better ! the gts 14 was the best I have owned and glad I bought 4 pair !gts 16 is too small and fits tight.Had to return.brooks pls get your act together you can see the complaints! Zappos gets 10 stars, their service is unbelievable! Thank you!

I have worn Brooks Adrenaline for many years. The last couple of models have felt progressively not as comfortable, but I continued to wear them. They finally did it with model 16 - the shoes are so uncomfortable I will be returning them. The toe box is unusually narrow on the regular (D) width. I put my old pair (model 15, D width) sole to sole with the model 16, and the 16 is 1/8 to 1/4 inch narrower. Also the plastic reflector strip around the toe box of the 16 bends awkwardly and feels like it is cutting into the side of my foot with every step. What a bummer. Guess I will stock up on the model 15 and hope they adjust the toe box and use a softer reflective strip on the next model.

I ordered this shoe in May. The sole began to come away from the upper & we returned it for the same shoe in July. (thinking it was a fluke). The sole is coming away from the upper again!! This shoe appears to last 2 months and comes apart! This is very poor quality, particularly given the price.

These shoes are some of the best I've found for running true to width and size. My feet are about as wide as they are long and Brooks does an excellent job with both. This is my second pair of Adrenaline GTS 16. I do have special insoles for support, and they work wonderfully in this shoe.

These shoes are awesome! My husband loved the colors and the comfort of the shoe!

Great-looking shoes! I wish I bought more as these are limited edition. Already got complimented several times. Lesson learned: Buy another pair if the shoes look good or they'll never be back with the same design again.

Been running on Brooks for years, alwaysed loved them. lately noticed they run narrow. I had to get a size wider but solved issue.

Shoes were just as expected and shipping is super fast!

the bottom is already starting to peel up and I have only worn these shoes for 3 days

Like running on a cloud!

Nice sturdy shoe. Big brooks fan. This is my 4th pair over the last few years!

I bought this shoe as an upgrade to the GST12 that I had, changing from the GST 12 to the 16 was like having the same show but better.

Great shoe, have been wearing the different iterations of these for many years.

Perfect. They look amazing and feel amazing as well.

Amazing comfortable shoes!!

Good running shoes. Took a few times out to get broken in but overall comfortable. Hard to find good shoes for those with wide and flat feet.

I've worn these shoes for years. They provide excellent stability, good arch support, and are extremely comfortable. The Brooks Adrenalines are running shoes, but I've always used them for walking and daily wear in general (due to my plantar fasciitis). I usually wear a men's size 9 - 9 1/2 in most shoes, but I need a size 10 in these shoes. Note: they easily accommodate orthotics.

Great fit right out of the box. I had ordered 2 different Brooks styles (Ravenna 7). Other style was just too tight. I had thoughts that this one (GTS 16) would be the same issue in the width. Boy was I wrong...wide was just what I needed.

Confession: I am a woman. I wore the women's Adrenaline GTS 10 - GTS 14 all with the same problem of my pinky toe eventually breaking through the mesh. I assumed there was no such thing as a perfect running shoe and I would have to accept this reoccurring pinky toe hole theme in exchange for a shoe that otherwise gave me no problems. How wrong I was. One day, while inspired to explore other options, customer service suggested I try a wider shoe. While the wider width was then spacious enough in the toe box, the rest of my foot was drowning in the shoe, making running impossible. So, I tried the men's Adrenaline instead. Wow! What a difference! The men's shoe is so much more comfortable! It has a wider toe box, but the midfoot is still narrow enough to hold my foot in place. This men's shoe is narrower than a women's wide, but wider than a women's medium. For anyone struggling to find the right width across the toe box, I highly recommend these shoes. I can't believe I didn't think of 'gender bending' earlier. You never know where you'll find your perfect pair of running shoes if you keep an open mind.
