Customer Reviews Brooks Addiction GTS 15

I was looking for a wider toe box in a narrow shoe. Have always worn NB but their toe box is now too narrow. I'd like it better if the shoe was cushier but knew going in that it would not be. Am not a runner but so far I am pleased and the Brooks is narrow enough for me but doesn't cramp my toes on walks and other activities.

They are the best fit yet since the original Addiction Walkers.

I have less pain in my feet and ankles after wearing Brooks sneakers. The support is great and the orthotics insert is not as hard as others brands.

Love the look and there was a warmish color (mauve which isn't actually warm but I'm going to pretend and wear it with my warm color clothing in similar colors. Shoe. looked nice on my foot but I had to lace it too tight to make it fit right. I have worn Brooks Adrenaline for years and I know it's the right size. It fit everywhere else but to get the support promised I had to tighten the laces to the point of pain. I'm keeping the Glycerin GTS instead if anyone has the same problem with it. Cushioning was nice as promised...just doesn't work for me. I need the stability.

Fit is fine; finally I was able to get an athletic shoe in a AA width! The body of the shoe as well as the sole are stiffer than I'd like, but they're OK. Please tell me, shoe manufacturers, why you are increasingly not bothering with us folks with narrow feet? And those whose toe profile in front is not a semicircle, but an oblong curve? I had to order about five pairs of shoes (and during most of the year, athletic shoes in size 9 1/2 AA are simply unavailable; this must be the new spring season of offerings) that were on paper size 9 1/2 AA, but that were either too short, too wide, or too round-toed. The last pair had soles like boards, unfortunately during their trial period in the house I forgot and wore them to the store so could not return them. Color me: frustrated, but glad I finally found something.

Just for the record, Brooks is not what it was about 5 years ago. My old shoe has excellent arch support, the new shoe is more expensive and as nearly as I can tell, has very inadequate support. I'm not sure if I'll keep the shoe. I need to eventually replace my old pair of Brooks. So far, years have gone by, and I can't find a decent replacement--in a narrow size.
