Too narrow for my very wide foot. I returned them without running in them.

Nice shoe. Doesn't fit as well as my previous pairs of ghost and adrenalin. Have to really loosen up the middle to keep from cramping my foot. Will wear until they wear out, but will not buy this version again.

I should state straight away that I'm 73. I can't run anymore- Covid left me with asthma, arterial fibulation, and deep vein thrombosis in my legs. I still walk at my local park 4 miles almost every morning. All that being said, after being a trail runner for 20 years, mostly in Hokas, I don't know how anyone could run comfortably in these shoes. I bought them because they're supposed to be "support shoes" They feel like they're made out of plywood, and need more toe room. Hoping they soften up and start to flex a bit.

Average quality for Brooks. Beast better choice. Neither fits like a Dyad Brooks style I'm looking for.
I'd also recommend:
None for running. Use traditional Brooks

Too heavy for my 89 year old legs. Excellent quality. I will go back to Ghost for walking.

While the shoe sizing was good, it was advertised as "max cushioning". It's not. The insole has decent cushioning but the outer sole has no give whatsoever. The end result is a shoe that doesn't feel cushioned at all.

The fit was very good (I have a very long, narrow foot) but the material was very stiff, which made the shoe less than comfortable.

I am 6', 230# and do not run, but walk several miles a day. I seldom use these shoes for other than the exercise walking. I have been wearing Broroks since I started out with Chariots many years ago. I still have three pairs of Beast 14 that are well-worn, but still usable. Those (my favorites) are my "standard" for all subsequent shoes, none of which (including these reviewed here) have come close. I tried the Beast GTS 23, but they pinched across the bridge of my foot. These Brooks Addiction GTS 15's are reasonably comfortable and supportive while providing sufficient control for my very flat and over-pronating feet. HOWEVER, they are NOT as comfortable or supportive as the Beast 14's. My major gripe with these is with the laces/ eyelet system. Not only are the laces a bit short, but loosening the laces to put on (or take off) the shoes, and then tightening again to walk is not easy, and thus a nuisance. The contrast in this regard with the Beast 14 is remarkable. Not quite sure why, the the lace/ eyelet system in the Beast 14 seems to work much more easily. I think it is down to the quality of the laces and the construction of the eyelets (which seem a little larger in the Beast 14). I've attached comparative side-by-side photos which MIGHT be helpful. Size-wise, these fit about the same as all the 'running' shoes I've bought. My 'normal' shoe size is 14, but for 'running' shoes I need to size up to 15. The width seems about right (without sizing up).

The shoes are 13 Narrow, but my toes touched the end of the shoes, so I feel they run short. Size 13 in other shoes almost always allows enough length. They felt slightly wider than would be a good fit for my feet.

Have ordered these same sneakers and size for the last 4 years. This pair is tighter than the others; also squeaks (after close to 2 weeks now).

I like the shoe and it fits well. However, the older design (addiction 13) looked better. I don't like the current fabric used for the toe box. Looks like an old guy's lounge slipper, and yes, I'm an old guy, lol.

Do not care for this model at all. It lacks the cushion feel of prior models and maybe the stability. Will have to think whether to stay with it or move on from Brooks. Prior models were differentiating, but this model seems very much like many competitive models.

The first few times out I was getting blisters. Now they're starting to break in Ann's are doing better. Price is high for what you're getting. They were a gift. I had high hopes that they would be better.

For me, the Addiction GT5 shoes don't support the outside of my feet as well as the Ghost 15 shoes that I also have. My next purchase will be Ghost 15s.

For a 4E width, the toe box was way too narrow. Bummer.

The arch support of the left is very uncomfortable. I've had 2 others pairs of brooks and I don't think this pair is as comfortable as the other 2 pairs.

Show is fine. What I expected. What I didn’t expect to find is that they had been worn and the insides had both human hair and animal fur. Yuk!!
