Customer Reviews Brooks Addiction GTS 15

I love the Ghost and Adrenaline styles of shoes. They did not have my size for either one at the time of purchase so I got this one. I did send them back. They are quality, and sturdy shoes, they just didn't work well for my specific needs. I did get the 4E, and normally they are not THIS roomy. These are probably the widest of the wide shoes I have found. My only real complaint about this specific brand (not just style) is that they aren't very breathable and they get hot in the summer very quickly, but that seems to happen with every all black Brooks, regardless of style. I have extremely high arches, over flexible tendons, easily twist my ankles and dislocate knees, I get tendonitis quickly, and I'm heavy. Brooks generally keeps me on my feet longer, but these did not and I think it's because of the way the inner sole is constructed. There's a ridge that bothered my specific heel, and the arch isn't placed well for my particular (picky) high arched feet. Brooks are a family favorite. Even my children are in Brooks. They truly help us a lot... when we can find the styles that work - in our sizes. My only real complaint about the brand is that it's difficult to find the all blacks, and they don't size women's shoes to fit my female feet (due to high arches and wide feet, the womens only go to W and not 4E) so I have to wear men's, which are more bulky and difficult to match clothing to. They're almost always out of the all black, and I do not wear the other colors they have available so they would clash with everything I own. ;)

Not enough cushion. Too stiff. Size runs a bit small. Seems like good construction. Might try some inserts.

I have a very wide foot and a high arch, and I use orthotics. This means that I need a very large toe box. In addition, I pronate badly and require a very supportive shoe. I have been using Brooks Addiction or Brooks Beast for several decades with good results. They are the only shoes I can run in.

Shoes are very comfortable and supportive.

stiff, not much cushioning, hard and low toe box which is opposite of description

Nice shoe, average. Prefer my beast. Price was an issue.

Love the shoe! I've been wearing the Addiction Walker for a few years now but the soles seem to wear quicker now than before so I wanted to try something different. I need a shoe with good support because I work on concrete all day and the Walker and now these fit the bill well. I would have gave it Five Stars but the shoes are not very deep and I use arch supports.

Best shoes I have ever purchased, comfortable, good fit

Since I started suffering a bunion and other foot problems I've relied on the Brooks Addiction for comfort and support for city walking. After my great experience with the leather models I switched to the mesh upper version for hot weather, and have not been disappointed. They are wide enough for comfort on my 4E feet, and provide sufficient depth for a custom orthotic. Other brands deliver on fit and room, but Brooks is the most structured and supportive I've found.

Great shoe in all aspects.

Ok fit, wear these 10 hours a day and rotate them with another pair of the same kind. Feet do hurt for a while after wearing these. I've only had them for just about a month so they may still be getting broken in.

The extra support is great for walking and jogging.

I have 3 pairs of Addiction shoes that are worn regularly. This model is a "go-to" based on the fit, quality and cushioning for my conditioning activity.

For my job I walk about 5+ miles a day lifting and lowering along with the all the heat, rain, and mud. Nothing fell apart on the shoe after a year of use and still had ample tread left! These are an all day shoe with comfort and support to back it. I would also recommend these to any individual in the delivery world! Thank you Brooks for making a good one!

Great shoe I'm a manager in a warehouse and I walk at least 15 miles a day and the shoes feel like I have not.

Really love these shoes, Brad ables and flat feet, it is hard finding a good pair of shoes that feel great right of the box, but these did, looking to get another pair

Great Fit - good stability - really comfortable

Supportive shoes that checked all the boxes I was looking for. I'm a large person and the extra wide (4E) have enough room for my feet. I am excited to have many vegan options from Brooks as well.

This is the only pair of Brooks running shoes that I have ever had a negative experience with. I found the cushioning in the heal area of the shoes to be stiff. The front area of the shoes were to loose fitting which resulted in me getting blisters. I will be returning these shoes from a different model.

I am satisfied with my new shoes

I wish Brooks would offer narrows in more colors, but this is my second time buying the shoe in all black. My first pair looked great for about 9 months, even wore it as a dress shoe for work. After a while, the top of the heel started to tear. After throwing them in the wash around 11 months, the toe box started separating from the bottom. However, the bottom rubber is still holding the toe area together and these are still great out in the yard. The bottom tread looks surprisingly great after wearing them all the time for a year. I used to wear New Balance (because I'm a narrow) and the tread would be worn off and smooth after 9 months. I bought them again because they are comfy, never look dirty and the bottoms have long life. Just wish the other fabric was stronger.

Cushioning did not exist. Like walking on a board.
