Customer Reviews Brooks Addiction GTS 15

I have been purchasing this exact shoe for years. This was way too small

Review for Brooks Addiction GTS 15: As I have aged my correct shoe size has gone from a 9.5 AA width to a 11.5 A width. For a male this means unless I paid out big bucks most shoes never correctly fit me as few shoe companies make narrow width shoes. Seventy years ago there were shoe companies like Florsheim, Johnson & Murphy, Wright Arch Preserver, French Shriner, and Allen Edmonds that made narrow width shoes, sometimes requiring a special order. Other than Allen Edmonds, they are all long gone or the name exists but not the quality and choice of widths in products offered. Several years ago I discovered Brooks at Nordstroms and they had some shoe offerings in a narrow width. At times they have referred to them as B widths. Actually, they fit like an A width and they seem to be well made. For me the fit of their narrows are spot on. And, they are reasonably priced. I have about five pairs including running and walking shoes and all of them fit me well. I have tried Allen Edmonds but their narrow width shoe lasts have never really fit me well. And, their shoes have been in the $300 to $500 range for some time. I have also found a few models of New Balance shoes available in narrow widths and their B width is close to an A width. However anything in their 800 series are not a narrow fit even if the size claims to be. They are more between a C and a D width. I will continue to be a Brooks customer. Good fit, good value, and they last. They are manufactured to Brooks Co. specifications in order to remain consistent with their sizing. Many other shoes such as Rockport advertise widths but it is up to the country of manufacture to determine what a width might be.

Tried out the Ghost at the suggestion of Brooks website, however they changed my gait and hurt my knees. I’m a big guy, 5’10” 290 lb. Returned to Addiction and my knees feel better three days later

I wear a size 15 in men shoes and all ways have trouble finding shoes in my size. I figured I would try Zappos, and glad I did. I've never used or tried this Brooks brand. I'm glad I did. These shoes are very comfortable and fit perfect. I like black shoes and these were perfect. I've only wore them a couple of times since they were delivered and they have been fine. I hope they last a while.

I usually wear the adrenaline, but tried these. They were just not as comfortable for me as the Brooks Adrenaline, a little short also. So, I will be returning these shoes.

To tight and I normally wear 10.5 4e. So trying 12.5 4e hope they fit good!

Had to send them back- much more narrow fit than previous versions. Going to try NB 880’s again.

I bought these because I walk 10- 13 mi. daily and I needed a shoe that could accommodate my orthopedic arch supports. Worked great and I have put 50 plus miles and I am satisfied with them. I had read the reviews and order a 1/2 size larger and they fit perfectly. I would like to note that they have the best shoe laces. The laces only require to tied once and not doubled up. I have had every major high end athletic shoe in the past twenty years and all of their laces needed to be doubled up to stay tied...good job Brooks!

As soon as I saw this shoe, it was love at first sight. When I tried it on, it felt like it was made for me and that never happens. The toe box is spacious which is a treasured feature and the support around the heel is just right. I am going to order some more pairs in case they stop making these. I can't say enough nice things about these. I can truly say that they are appropriately named for me: Addiction.

Great shoes for heavily pronated feet. I typically wear a 10.5, had to return for an 11. Brooks makes excellent shoes for running and walking. Strong recommendation.

After wearing this shoes I noticed that part of the design on the side of the shoes has peeled off. If this continues the side of the shoe will look rather ragged. For a pair of $140 running shoes I would not expect this to happen.

I am a 72 year woman with large bunions. I have to buy men's brooks x-tra wide to fit my feet. Brooks was recommended to me by two different podiatrist. Brooks is the best for me. The Brooks Women x-wide is not wide enough anymore. I did try Easy Spirit women's x-tra wide and they work okay for short trips. If I'm going to zoo, Walmart, or Costco....it's BrooKs men's x-tra wide every time. I remember when they cost $60 to $85 a pair. Have any coupons for this old lady that currently has 13 pairs of Brooks? I will be donating 9 pair on Tuesday as they are not wide enough anymore. I love Brooks!!!

Sneaker felt great for months, but around 5 months, the seam near the toe started opening up. I just emailed Brooks to see what they can do about it but if this is not replaced, I would not repurchase from this brand as others have lasted much longer with more wear before something started to become undone.

Our favorite tennis shoe is the Brooks Beast & Brooks Ariel. They are definitely worth every penny. The only complaint I would have with Brooks Beast & Ariel. They need to come out with a little more exciting colors for these 2 styles. The other Brooks like Launch, Levitate, Ghost have really unique colors.

Comfortable and fit well. Worth the money

Size was correct. Width was correct. Support is good. Tennis shoe tongues are all very short and you barely have enough length to tie the shoes over them! The manufacturers need to fix this!

Great shoe!

Extremely comfortable from day one
