Customer Reviews Brooks Adrenaline GTS 16

I am a long-time wearer of the Brooks Addiction but I saw this shoe and really liked the look of it so thought I would give it a try. It seems a little wider than the Addiction, which I usually buy in wide (I tried both medium and wide in this shoe and the medium was the better fit). I took the insoles out and put custom orthotics in so I can't speak to the shoe's own arch support. It is nice to find a supportive shoe that addresses pronation and doesn't look like a corrective shoe. I am very happy with it and happy to have an alternative to the Addiction, which is usually only available in limited colors.

Amazing shoe. Just what I wanted and knew it was going to be. Comfort and style.

These Adrenaline GTS 16 are the most comfortable sneakers from the 1st time I donned them! They offer support for my high arched feet, and the wide size helps my feet breathe. I love the colors too. They are well worth the price. Thanks Zappos for offering the wide width.

It's interesting that some people wrote in saying they felt these ran large. I am a solid 8 always in running shoes, M width, nothing abnormal. My toes felt slightly "jammed" in the 8 of this shoe. The 8.5 felt better. Excellent shoe for support and cushioning!

I love these shoes. I have worn this style shoe for the last 2 years and my old ones are still in great shape. I work 12 hour shifts and constantly walk. There is no break in period. Wear them right out of the box. Worth every penny!

I got these as a replacement for the GTS 14 pair that finally wore out. It has the same great fit. I wore these for my first few workouts without needed to break them in. Super light weight and I love the colors.

LOVE this shoe! Only reason I had to return was that it wasn't wide enough in forefoot, and isn't available in a wide or I would have exchanged.

I have been wearing the men's version of this shoe since the Adrenaline 6 (in a size 10 EE) and found it to be the only shoe which worked with my big, wide, arthritic feet. I was very excited to find out there was a women's version in an 11.5 EE so I was very eager to try it. This shoe is very comfortable (even more so than the men's for me), but it does run a half size big. I had to exchange the 11.5 for an 11 EE and I still have plenty of room. The shoe is definitely generous in the width, my toes have plenty of space. The shoe fits perfectly across the instep, with a much roomier toe box. The support is great, there appears to be more cushioning under the shoe than before. I will definitely be ordering an extra pair, I only wish there were other color options in my size.

Did not help my pronation. A little tight for my long toes.

i love the fit (snug, but not tight around the toes). these seem to stay on my heels better than past versions. i do still have to use superfeet insoles, not enough arch support.

Ordered this shoe based off the recommendation of my podiatrist. Got the shoe, and wore them for a few hours, and found that the heels were a bit tight, and the toe box was a little narrower than what I am used to with another shoe I have (Saucony shoes, to be precise). To these shoes' credit, I did wear them on and off before I broke down and wore them for work purposes - they are now my most comfortable-est shoe I have worn since, like, ever. I highly recommend getting these shoes in a width wider than what you would normally wear, as the pinky toe could get all crowded and may not like you. :)

These sneakers were recommended by my Dr for use with my arc support inserts. They work perfectly. Love everything about them.

Every time I need new shoes I get these same Brooks. This time there was more than one style available, which was fun. These are great, supportive shoes particularly if you need extra inner arch support. Since they have that support, they can feel slightly bulky, but they make a major difference while running.

Overall great shoe but I have to wear a thin sock because the shoe runs about a half size smaller than expected.

I bought these particular shoes in a 1/2 size larger than normal. I feel like they are very comfortable. My only complaint is, I had them less than one month and the rubber was already coming off the sole of the shoe. I contacted Zappos customer service and they were truly wonderful, they replaced the shoes immediately. I'm hoping it was just a imperfection with just that one pair and the ones I am wearing now hold up better.

Really comfortable and cute running shoes.

I loved these shoes - super comfy and amazing arch support. However, after I did some walking with them on the treadmill to set them out, the right shoe cut into my Achilles tendon. I really wanted to keep this because I overpronate and I don't think I'd need insoles, but unfortunately had to send them back. If you're looking for a very supportive running shoe, I'd give them a shot, though. You might not have the same issue.

I wish I ould have gotten diff colors in my size but it was very limited. The shoe is pretty stiff and blocky i the base but apparently this is what I must have for stability and walking on a sandy beach. They serve my purpose so I ended up ordering a second pair because they fit my "hard to fit" feet.

I love the way they feel, very comfortable. My only complaint is I wish they made the extra wide width in more than one color. It would be nice to have more choices.

The previous pair of these I had fit and support well even though I have a moderate bunion and a related tendency to overpronate as I roll off of it. I do use a cork insole with them rather than the one that came in the shoe. I have used these on trail walking and on the treadmill and the sole/support has held up well. The uppers, however, wore through in holes, first in the lining and then in the outer mesh, before I was ready to discard the shoes due to sole wear, which was a bit disappointing. Still, here I am replacing them with the same shoe, which surprisingly fits the same after a couple years (nothing one can count on with many brands).

New to Brooks and absolutely love them so far.

This shoe worked well for my 3A narrow feet. I normally wear a size 8.5 in althletic shoes and ordered the 9Narrow per suggestions online to size up a half size. I put abeo orthotics in place of insole for my plantar fasciitis and the shoes are very comfortable. I like the mesh fabric for summer but would love a leather shoe to keep out rain in winter in this style. I tried New Balance on the recommendation of my podiatrist but Brooks was more comfy and better fit and construction. Thanks Zappos!

It's so hard for me to find a shoe that's comfortable for my feet since they are very narrow and have a somewhat high arch. My left foot seems to always hurt. I tried the ghost riders first, but wow my left foot hurt so bad just walking around the grocery store. These, so far, seem to be working! I've worn them a few times and they are quite comfortable. I'm going to take time to break them in as I think I will keep them. I spend six months per year barefoot and in sandals because I live in the hot desert, so I will give these time to break in and just get used to wearing shoes again.

I originally ordered a size 8.5 and B width because that's what my 3 year old Saucony shoes were (which I absolutely loved). They were definitely too tight so I traded them for 9 and wide. I love the colors, and the price isn't bad. This was my first pair of Brooks, but I'm somewhat disappointed. They're nice, but they're not as cushy as I thought they'd be. And the silver lines by the toes crease down when you bend the shoe while crouching, so they dig into your toes. It can be a little painful at times. I sometimes even feel it when I walk for longer periods of time. I've been wearing them every day for a little over a week in the hopes they'd break in but so far they haven't. I'm worried they will prematurely wear at those silver areas.
