Customer Reviews Brooks Adrenaline GTS 16

I've been wearing Brooks Adrenaline since 2008 and have only had one disappointment, which was the GTS15. I ordered two sizes and returned them both. On the GTS16 I did the same and this year I am keeping the size 8D, which is the size I have been wearing for the past 8 years. The 15 actually made my toes numb but so far the 16 feels like the 14. I had also ordered the 8.5 because a lot of reviews said to order a half size up, but I did not need the larger size. I also have a bunion on my right foot and the 8D is not bothering it.

Ugly designer color. Be warned the gray color is lighter on the Website than in real life. My last pie of brooks were ok, but I just wish they didn't feel so clunky. Good support.

Switched to Brooks about 6 or 8 years ago.. Like them better than other brand I was wearing(asics). Find the adrenaline 16 to be as comfortable as were the 14 and the 12before them. I wear perscribed orthotics for more arch support.

I love Brooks shoes as they usually help my foot issues and pain better than other shoes I have tried. This is the first time buying this model and I still can't wear them all day. The toe space is very snug even buying 1/2 size larger and a wide. My first choices were not available and there were several other colors and models that weren't available so I settled on these. A bit disappointing but I am hoping they will loosen up. I use them for walk/running and also daily use if I am needing extra support.

I have been wearing the Adrenaline for many years. I ?? The shoe. I also ?? The "new" colors they have been offering. The 16's have been technically better than the 15's. I can't wait to see the 17's. The buying experience at Zappos made the purchase that much sweeter.

Gorgeous and so comfortable! It has been a few years since I've bought new running shoes. My previous pair was a brooks adrenaline and I loved them. The teal and silver are really attractive.

I think I ordered the extra wides because I have wide feet but these tennis shoes are boats! I'm going to keep them because I just use them at the gym but probably won't order these again. I've been a loyal Brooks buyer for years and will continue to be.

I've been wearing Brooks Adrenaline for years. The GTS 16 runs smaller than previous years. Order 1/2 size up (at least).

After scouring the internet for reviews of running shoes for Plantar Fascia issues, I decided to try these. While they did feel quite comfortable right out of the box, I decided the Saucony Guide 9s had more cushioning and a wider toe box. I am going to return these but keep them in mind down the road.

I am a runner who has challenges finding running shoes. I need a strong stability shoe, but not a support shoe. Without it my Achilles tendon gets cranky. I need "just right" forefoot support. I have a bunion which doesn't bother me but caused a dropped metatarsal. Interestingly too soft a shoe causes that to hurt. Adrenaline 12, 13 and 14 were my Goldilocks shoes! Just right! 15 was a disaster. I scooped up some 14s on line and made due for another year. But it was time for new shoes. After extensive reading of reviews I tried the 16. I ordered my regular running shoe size, a half size larger and a third in my regular size but wide width. I went with the wide width and I think we are going to get along just fine. Brooks - I wish you hadn't messed with a good thing -but we'll make this work.

I am a long time Asics 2100, then 2000 series wearer and recently I have noticed that after a few good work outs in those shoes I seem to have tired, achy feet which I never had before. So I have been on the search for new running shoes. As someone with a true 10½ length foot, I find these shoes run a bit long as I am sitting here currently deciding between the 10 and the 10½. They also run incredibly wide. I do, admittedly, have narrow feet but in running shoes I always wear a medium width. In these shoes I have to cinch the laces down incredibly far in order to make my feet feel right. One other observation, the kaleidoscope colors are made of a different fabric than the traditional style shoes - the traditional style is more of the open weave fabric that you are used to seeing on running shoes, whereas the kaleidoscope colors are more of a tight knit. What this means, in my opinion, is that the kaleidoscope colors fit a little more narrow/close to the foot than the traditional colors. Overall, as a moderate to severe overpronator who in my late 20s has had to find good cushioned shoes for flat feet that also support my bad hip, I think that these feel good and provide more support on the outside of the foot than other shoes that I have tried and I will be excited to give them a workout.

I have previous versions of this shoe in 10.5. Bought the 11 fits the same as the 10.5 for me. Part of inside of shoe was peeling back a little. Ran in them once so far they seem okay. Time will tell. Could probably get shoe glue for the inner piece. Didn't want to exchange because this color peacock is sold out.

I am enjoying these shoes. I only purchase Brooks running sneakers due to their support and fit to my feet, and these did not disappoint. They took a little "breaking in", but once they were worn a few times, they felt great.

Toe box is uncomfortably flat and small. What has happened to Brooks? They used to be the most comfortable shoes on the market. I will be returning these and finding another brand.

I find it to be a little wide even though it's a narrow...I have worn this shoe before about 2 years ago and I am pretty sure it fit more narrow then, I think they have changed the cut of the shoe.

Usually wear Dyad which I really, really like. Decided to try another type and style. Found these to be quite comfortable. Lots of cushion and the toe box has plenty of room.

I have been wearing Brooks for almost 20 years. They take a style that works and change it, so that it fits so different from season to season. It's absurd. I have to wear these types of running shoes due to my medical issues (knees, hips, and ankles), but I hate having to refit every season. The colors are absolutely awful as well. I wish they had someone on their design team that would have to wear these all day with multiple outfits to see how ugly they truly are. Because I workout 6 days per week, I would love it if they had something that looked just a little nicer. As far as comfort, they are alright. I liked my 14s much better. The 15s were awful and I think these are somewhere between.

These are stiffer than past models. I loved the gts 14 the most and skipped the 15. The toe box is wider and the overall feel is clunkier. I'm not sure if I am going to stay with brooks after this pair or not. Also, I wear 7-7 and a half in most shoes but always get an 8 in brooks running shoes. These were the same.

This is a nice shoe. I'm curious to see how it wears after more time has elapsed. It runs small. I typically wear an 8 in tennis shoes & I had to exchange for an 8 1/2. Otherwise, feels like a good, supportive, but lightweight, tennis shoe. I also have a narrow foot. I ordered a N and it fits well regarding width.

I am Very pleased with the support and quality of my Brooks Adrenaline GTS16 shoes. They seem to run a little narrower than the GTS 15.

I loved these shoes but they ran about a half size too short and the toe box was not very deep, rubbed on my toes. I was disappointed that they did not work for me.

Really liking this shoe. I had at least 4-5 pair of the GTS 14s and I loved them but was disappointed with the 15s. I think Brooks is back on track with the 16s. I have a foot injury I am recovering from and I have been able to start to jog and cross train in these with little discomfort. I feel they are true to size and do not run big as stated in other reviews.

I can't speak to their comfort or support I only wore them long enough to see if they fit. I wasn't impressed with their quality or style. They seemed cheaply made and visually unappealing to me.

I have had several pairs of Adrenaline GTS's in the past and have always worn a size 9. This pair seems to run quite big, at least a half size bigger. It's so much bigger that the size 9 of this model slips/rubs enough to blister my foot.

I've been wearing the Adrenaline GTS for years. The 16's just arrived and I think I like them, but they feel a bit different from the 15's. I've been wearing a 10.5 in these forever, but this version feels a bit larger. I'm going to try a 10 as well to see what feels better. I'm glad Brooks has more normal colors this go around instead of all bright colors and tie-dye. Compared to the 15's, the 16's have more padding in the heel, a thicker tongue, different eyelets for the laces, mesh lining in the front instead of the reflective liner (perhaps water will now seep through on wetter runs or in grass?), a bit of a different mesh pattern that seems slightly thicker, and bottom treads that are thicker on the side of the big toe along the first metatarsal. At first feel, these seem to be more different than I thought they would be by looking at the pictures. I'm a lover of Brooks so I am going to give them a try. The 15's were comfortable for me, but I felt like they wore out much quicker than the earlier GTS versions. Hopefully the 16's will last for a few more miles than the 15's did.
