Customer Reviews Brooks Addiction GTS 15

Fit well and well made

I purchased these shoes for my husband. He wears a size 16 and unfortunately there are not many options for good looking and/or relatively affordable sneakers. These sneakers look fabulous and fit wonderful. He is thrilled with them.

Support is great heel comfort was best so far. Only issue is some discomfort in toe area on top of my foot

Bought these for my husband in 9.5 Narrow. He has a very hard time finding well-fitting shoes in narrow. When he tried these on he liked them right away and started wearing them. Seems like they are very well made and comfortable, and he liked the styling also.

Have bought these in the past. My husband loves them. Great quality and great quick mailing from zappos always!

Solid shoe. My go to running shoe. Great for knee/back support. I have to purchase men size due to my foot size. Do wish they came in more variety but I pick function over beauty.

Great for wide feet

The wide fit was true to size, especially since my husband has wide and flat feet. They are very comfortable to walk/run in, with no break-in period. Brooks are excellent!

This is my first pair of Brooks. The toe box is square which provides a more comfortable fit (toes not squished). This is the first brand I have worn with that design. The ankle padding is superior to my other shoes.

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.

The fit would have been perfect if Brooks had used their better insert. there is not the same cushioning as previous Addictions. Also, the toe and wrap around on the front of the shoe does not have good support. Material covering the toes back to the laces is much thinner and less supportive. All in all, the shoe has been cheapened, but sells for the same prices as the older shoes sold for.

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.

I have a pair of the Brooks Addiction 14 that I love so I was concerned that I would not like the new version. After several walks and a run in the GTS 15 I am happy to report that they feel great and are every bit as good as the 14.

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.

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.

Way too heavy to be running shoes. Felt like wearing steel toed work boots. Look at allbirds or Nike for light weight runners that also have great support.

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.

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.

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.

Comfortable and fit well. Worth the money

Great shoes! Fast shipping!

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

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!
