Customer Reviews Brooks Addiction GTS 15

I had been used to fairly good cushioning in all my previous Brooks shoes. These, on the other hand, were quite hard and felt a bit cheap.

the mesh construction is not supportive enough

I purchased the GTS 22 at the same time and my husband like the LOOK of those on better. He didnt like the "rounded" look of the sole.

The Brooks Addiction GTS 15 (size 14 Narrow) is an experiment. I have been wearing the New Balance 1540 for a long time. First impression. The Addiction is much lighter in weight than the 1540. It fits my foot very well, with plenty of room for my orthotics. It fits like a glove, firm without being too tight, so first impression is good. Due to the light weight the question is does the Addiction have enough cushion and support for me. I would have preferred to try the Brooks Beast but they have decided not to offer it in my narrow width.

These shoes felt tight around the heel, and were also very heavy. They were returned.

I ran in Brooks Addictions for decades but something happened over the last few years. I developed painful bunions that seemed to be aggravated by the shoes, the soles of my feet were chronically sore and I increasingly felt that the shoes were hard, harsh on my feet. It may be changes in the way the shoe was made or my advancing age (over 65). But I found other options (Asics Kayano Gel) to be clearly easier on my feet, so I am returning the last pair of Addictions I had unused in my closet and I'm moving on.

This shoe is heavy and feels tight and constricting on the sides. It was returned.

Shoes make very loud squeaking noises! Not the first pair in my size that have done this. Returned the last pair. Cannot go to a shoe store and try other shoes on. Have a narrow size 15. Guess I'm stuck.

too narrow made the side of my feet hurt

It is a clunky shoe and not streamlined enough

Not a durable shoe, by comparison to the “Beast”, also by Brooks. Shoe is completely worn out from less than every day wear and tear.

I ordered the Addiction as an alternative to the Adrenaline that I have worn for several years and iterations. I ordered the same size/width but this shoe feels smaller, more narrow, and is not comfortable.

I wished these fit better. I liked the style and look but when trying on, immediately felt my 3 middle toes pressed up against the front of the sneakers. I wear size 12 EE. I bought same exact size competitor sneaker and no issues with them as far as size. Needless to say, these are getting returned and I am keeping the other ones. Also, waiting for the release of the new Beasts hopefully soon. Hopefully they fit better on me than these Addictions.

Good in general but just a couple weeks after buying them I nearly fell on gently sloping asphalt at public university that was barely wet. My feet started to go out from under me without warning and I barely caught myself before falling backward. This is the first shoe I can remember that happening. Must ave something to do with very tight tread pattern. I lost my trust in them and am returning them.

Style is meh and run small so if you’re a true 12 2E get a 12.5 4E. Unfortunately the size up wasn’t in stock but if it was I think they’d feel fuego

Toe box was nice and wide; but, sole was a bit stiff; I prefer more cushioning.

I wear an 8.5 to 9 in regular width. These were a bit too long and wide.

Too Heavy

Just recently began wearing these. Right shoe fine. Left shoe back of heel felt like it was coming off. Put them back to back and saw that back of left shoe 1/4 inch lower than right. Not comfortable.

Nice shoe. Well built. Good looking. However, too big for me and just didn't fit quite right. In the end, they were returned.

This show feels small. I ordered my normal size , 11.5 B, but my toes touched the front of the show and it felt like an A width.
