Customer Reviews Brooks Adrenaline GTS 16

I have been purchasing this shoe for years now and never had any problems. However, this time it felt longer than usual and so did not immediately fit as well as before.

My husband has been wearing Brooks for several years now and they work great for him. This is a replacement for a very well worn and loved pair.

Been buying the Adrenalines for years- these are very similar to last year's, which for me is a good thing. I have really flat feet, and these are the most comfortable running shoes I've ever tried.

These are excellent shoes, I tried different combinations recently when I started running on hard surfaces. These are lightweight and very comfortable.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! I have been wearing Brooks for 3 or 4 years now. I have really bad feet (3 surgeries) and these are the best shoes I have found where I can wear my custom orthotics with no problem. This special edition shoe is even more comfortable than the regular Adrenaline style. I wish they would make all of them like this instead of the mesh. I have gotten several compliments on these. Don't hesitate to buy, you will LOVE them!

These are great fitting shoes. I love the overall look and feeling of them. I have purchase the walking shoes and they were great shoes so I thought that these would be good shoes and I was right. I recommend these.

I've had plantar fasciitis off and on for many years, and recently even my funky but reliable Z-Coil shoes have not been giving me enough relief. So I ordered many shoes hoping to find at least one pair that might help. This is the one that seems most likely to make it possible to keep walking my dogs. On the advice of a local runner, I ordered a men's 10 1/2 (I've been wearing women's 11W or men's 10) and added Superfeet Green insoles. So far this combo feels amazingly good. My afflicted heel already hurts much less, whether from these shoes or the insoles, I am not sure. I'm alternating between these and my old Z-Coils (too old... Should replace them, but they are so darned expensive and Zappos doesn't carry them... I've become spoiled and don't like to get shoes anywhere else). Hoping soon that darned PF will be just a memory and I can get some girly dancing shoes again!

Excellent! Previously advised to buy shoes size 1-1.5 larger. Normally wear size 7. Currently have Beast and GTS 15 in size 8. Perfect fit! Thank you!

Having had a pair of Brooks Beasts, I know the quality and fit was good with excellent arch and lateral support. I decided to get a pair that was all black to wear to work. Delivery was fast, I ordered on a Friday and received them on Monday.

Wonderful sneaker! This is my third pair and each have been comfortable from day one. Supportive and true to size. Brooks make great shoes and Zappos is the place to get them. They arrived the day after ordering. I even went outside to see if the Zappos warehouse was around the block.

I had been wearing a men's size 8 of the Adrenaline GTS 14. That size 8 became decidedly short and cramped in the GTS 15. (I wear a 7½ street shoe.) I went to 8½ for the GTS 16, and have not regretted it: it feels like the Size 8 of the GTS 14. I'm an overpronator, and use orthotics. I have run about 40 miles in the shoe to date, and found that light break-in is helpful. The ride in this version is agreeably firm, which enhances the shoe's overall sense of stability - a plus for me. That said, I found its cushion more than adequate (I weigh 142 pounds). The ride also seems smoother than in the GTS 14. So far so good.

Very comfortable shoes. I've been running in the GTS 14s, but skipped the 15s when I saw there were sizing and comfort issues. These feel very similar to my 14s, but my heel doesn't hurt when I run in them. If you like the 14s and earlier, you should hopefully like these as well. As with all running shoes I've tried, I went up half a size from my everyday shoes, and these feel good at the larger size.

I purchased these shoes for my 12 year old son to wear to school and for short jogs around the neighborhood. He loved them from the minute he pulled them out of the box. The colors are fun and bright but not overpowering. He suffers from flat feet, but he said the Brooks cushioned his feet comfortably. The shoes are made so well he does not need to use his orthodics with them. He has been wearing them for a few weeks now, and still gives them rave reviews. I read some of the reviews that said the shoe runs small. It is hard to comment on this aspect of the shoe because my son's feet grow so fast, I cannot tell if the shoes run small or his feet have grown more than I expected. I do have a women's version of the shoe, and I thought they ran small on me; however, not so small that I get black toenails when I run. I would suggest ordering up a half size.

I bought this shoe for my 17year old son. He has worn brooks adrenalin before and we knew we'd like the product. However, this model seemed to run bigger than pairs we had bought in the past. After exchanging down a full size, we are happy!

These are my first Brooks shoes.They look and feel great. I ordered a 11 4E and I usually wear a 10 4E. They're a little roomy in my heel, but I would definitely order a 1/2 size larger.

Incredible shoe! Wore it straight out of box for days and all over Disney without any problems. tons of compliments too! LOVE this shoe, it's a dream.

This is my third pair of the Brooks Adrenalines that I've purchased from Zappos. It's always been challenging for me to find my size, I wear a 12 1/2 and need a wide size shoe because I have a high arch and nerve damage in my left foot. These shoes give just the right support and at the same time are very comfortable. They also are a durable shoe that lasts a long time.

Based on other reviews, I was concerned I wouldn't be happy with the fit this year, but given my long, satisfied history with this shoe, I decided to take a chance. I'm very happy with it and didn't notice the change in width others mentioned...even though my feet are wider than average. Took a 6-mile run in these straight out of the box and couldn't be happier. I would recommend these shoes.

I still like my Nike shoes but after a pair of Brooks Launch 2 and now the Adrenaline 16s I'll never run in a brand other than Brooks.

have been wearing a pair of Brooks tennis shoes for a couple of years and the were a little narrow. So I ordered size EE thinking they would be perfect. they were too narrow and seemed a little short so I returned them for a 1/2 size larger and the EEEE width. This pair is very comfortable. So they seem a little shorter than the size and more narrow than the width.

I've worn the 11 and 13 models before this and am happy with the updates to the 16. Nicely constructed and happy with color choices this year. For those coming from previous versions, may need to alter width or length as noted in other reviews. Good news with Zappos is excellent return/exchange policy!

My long, slender feet loves Brooks shoes. Their running shoes have been my go to choice for almost a decade, fitting my narrow width and matching the topology of my soles far better than any other brand such as Nike, New Balance, or Adidas. This pair continues my like for the brand and this style in particular. They fit great and perform well in both running and court sports. The one negative is that the bond between the hard black rubber wear layer and middle soft cushion layer can fail. This only occurs during court sports with aggressive stops and starts and especially turns. No matter what I try this continues to be a problem with Brooks. But that one issue is easily outweighed by all the other positives. Highly recommended.

This is a great shoe; however, the sizing on this shoe has been incredibly poor and inconsistent over the past three years. I'm a grown adult and I am on my third size in 3 years (10.5 2E to 11 2E to 10.5 4E)! Incredibly frustrating to continue to change sizes on an annual basis after having consistency for many years. I would say the shoe is true or truer to size length in the 16 versus the 15. However this is a much narrower shoe for a wide foot (the 11 2E was very tight for me). In the past the 4E in this shoe was far too wide in the 10.5 but now is the correct fit for me. Otherwise, great support for a stability shoe and better construction and support from what I can tell from the Asics Gt-2000 which is even more narrow in the extra wide.

Although I have had to stop wearing Brooks shoes because they got narrower in the toe box and hurt my feet, my brother, for whom these were bought, has very narrow feet and still loves wearing these. His feet are so narrow I have to add an insert even in the narrow size. He eventually wears through the toe, but meanwhile he's thrilled with these. I'm thrilled with Zappos.

These seem to run a 1/2 size too small. The size 12 fit me last year and it seems that the sizing is just a bit different this year.
