Customer Reviews Brooks Addiction GTS 15

I had used brooks for many years and are great shoes. After 2 or 3 months of using this model, I noticed pain on my right foot, couldn't figure out what was wrong, so I decided to change shoes, new ones, and after 2 uses the pain went away. It seemed that the sole of the Brooks was pushing my foot to the right side(maybe manufacturing defect) and misaligning it. Called Zappos to inform them, but since I had used them nothing could be done.

This review comes at the end of a short working life, less than a year and roughly 400 street miles. These Addiction GTS 15s replaced the Addiction Walker (black), which had been discontinued, which replaced the Addiction Walker (brown nubuck), which had no longer been available. Both of the Addiction Walkers lasted about three times as long as the GTS and are actually still usable. The Addiction GTS 15s still look fine, and the soles do not appear particularly worn. But the shoes have lost their internal structure and no longer offer good support. I'm not large (155 pounds), but have stiff ankles and do test a shoe's internals.

I own 2 pairs of Brooks Adrenaline size 10W and they are perfect as have been previous Brooks running shoes. I decided for my trip to England to get these Brooks GTS 15 (very similar to the Adrenaline) in a 9.5 Medium (D), smaller size because they weren't going to be running shoes but just for comfortable walking around London. They are huge! They are half size smaller and not a wide and they are so big that I wonder if I didn't get a mens size. Anywho, they are being returned. Thank you Zappos for allowing returns free of charge.

Run small compared to Nike or New Balance. Normally a 11 4E in Nike and 10.5 4E in New Balance. Ordered these in 11 from Brooks and my big toe was right at the front of the shoe. Returned and trying 11.5 4E

Initially, they felt pretty good. But, I tried walking around in them for 10 minutes and they started to hurt my feet in ways that new shoes do not usually hurt my feet. There was something about the angles and slighter higher shoe sides near the back that made one of my feet cramp. Could work for others, but not me, not even in a wide.

Size was much smaller than I expected. I returned the shoes unused and I am still waiting for my refund from Zappos.

Too wide

not typical for brooks, these things feel like you've strapped cement to your feet. very uncomfortable

I am very dissatisfied with this purchase. I know Brooks makes an excellent product and these shoes are very uncomfortable. I’m trying to break them in but they don’t seem to be getting any better. They do look good however.

My shoes seem to be defective, the left heel was higher inside than the right. I even measured it and it was almost a 1/4 inch off from the other shoe. I’m in the process of returning the pair and now it’s processing.

Guys, I have been ordering Brooks Addictions from you for over 10 years. I thought because this shoe had the Addiction name it was similar to the Addiction Walkers I usually get with leather tops. Obviously this is not the case or like the Addiction I usually order which is size 15 in a double EE size. This model is both too short or too narrow and really less deep by at least 3/4 to 1 inch. Therefore I cannot fit my Orthotic insert into it or even get my foot into it. I miss the Brown Suede type finish you used to offer and I thought this grey colored shoe might be what I needed. So I have to return this order.

Zappos sent me the wrong size, I ordered size 14, they sent me size 13

TOO SMALL

These shoes are the most uncomfortable shoes my husband has ever owned. Wore once and his feet hurt so badly he will never wear again.
