Customer Reviews Brooks Adrenaline GTS 16

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.

These should have lasted longer, but my big toe wore thru the fabric on the top. They still look pretty New, except for the hole.

I have bought Brooks Adrenaline GTS running shoes for years now, but this is the first time I have been unhappy with the shoe. Last year's (2016) model does not fit the same as previous identical models and is not as comfortable or cushioning. I am disappointed and surprised. It seems as if in 2016 the shoe was substituted by a lesser quality shoe that just looks similar. The shoe feels too narrow even though I ordered extra wide, (D width) and my feet complain every time I put them on. Did something change in the manufacturing? Not sure, but I wouldn't recommend the 2016 GTS and I am hesitant to buy the next one.

I have worn Brooks Adrenaline for many years & loved them! However, it seems like over the past couple of years, they are not the same comfortable, quality shoe with the same fit as in years past. This year's model has a lower toe box & feels more narrow. I tried a wider width but it was too wide. The insole has been feeling cheaper & not lasting as long as previous models. I have foot problems so maybe these shoes would fit another person comfortably but I wish they would stop changing a good thing.

I have been wearing the brooks adrenaline for years. The 14 was the last good shoe. The 15 and 16 have been horrible in terms of comfort. It seems the shoe gets cheaper and cheaper. I don't know what shoe to use now.

I have two pairs of these shoes and I love them - but both pairs have worn holes in the toes in about 4 months!! UGH! Not worth the money!
