Customer Reviews Brooks Addiction GTS 15

These were recommended by my podiatrist to allow room for my custom orthotics for running/walking and to provide extra support for how my foot hits the ground. I have flat feet and tend to roll my ankles. :( These shoes have a wide sole for support so I am less likely to roll or twist my ankles and they are comfy. One thing I really struggle with these shoes is that the inside top of both shoes rub and deteriorate quickly. They also aren't the sexiest shoe b/c they are more about function. But they do perform well and provide excellent support and comfort for my long walks and runs.

Good shoe, fit right, felt good

Ice to be able to take them out of the box and wear them immediately, like I can with New Balance

The updates to the addiction do not fit like the Addiction 12. Not as much cushioning and the arch is different.

I am a long timer wearer of the Brooks Addiction 13 and had several pairs of those. These 15's are not the same. They are much stiffer and not as cushioned. They don't bend much when I walk and are just not as comfortable as the 13's. Maybe they would have softened up over time, but I had several pairs of the 13"s and they were comfortable right out of the box. I am sending them back because I am not willing to take the chance. In terms of sizing, they were true to size in my "Brooks Size". I normally wear a size 9. Sometimes I wear a 9.5 in athletic shoes. In Brooks, I need a 10. So, I would say they run small but now that I know 10 is my Brooks Size, they do run true to that size.

I had these in the 8.5 narrow, which was too short. I ordered a 9N. The left shoe was perfect, but the right shoe's heel collar dug in. Had to send them back and ordered a different style.

I have worn Brooks Addiction for many years. Have tried other Brook styles but always returned to Addiction as I pronate and have a problem with plantar fasciitis. Addiction has always been my go-to shoe. That is until this year and this shoe. The toe box feels like it has been reduced and I cannot set my heel in the heelbox due to the the heel rim being over stuffed with padding and that reduces the toe box as well because my foot is forced forward and very uncomfortable. Padding is necessary but this is extremely hard and so it large prevents my foot from fitting into the heal cup of my orthotics. I normally wear a size 7-1/2 but go up a size to 8 due to the orthotics. Regretfully, for now, I am saying goodbye to Brooks.

I love this shoe! The only “con” is that I don’t love the amount of white sole that makes it look a little clunky, but I’ll go with comfort over style any day! I have a wide foot and the EE fits me perfectly. The toe box is so roomy and my foot feels very supported. I have worn a pair of Brooks Dyads for a couple of years, and I ordered a new pair along with these Addictions but sent the Dyads back-the Addiction was a clear winner for me!

these are my second pair; they are comfortable supportive shoes; excellent arch support and my foot doesn't slide around in shoe when exercising (Les Mills programs); I ordered the B width this time and they are identical to the narrow width that I ordered last time; they are fairly heavy so probably wouldn't work for running long distances. would like more color choices

Very hard sole, with no flexibility. I bought these thinking it would be a good alternative to switch off with my Brooks ghost. My plantar fasciitis is flaring up again. I replaced the cushion insert with no relief ?. Wish I saved the box, Id return them.

These are nice shoes but felt a half-size too small. The heel collar dug a bit on one shoe, but that may have been due to the shape of my ankle rather than a problem with the shoe.

These shoes fit great and I like them, but unfortunately one of them squeaks quite loudly, which is very annoying. Considering i paid so much for these ($140), which is way too much to accept a defective product. Otherwise I like them very much, and am considering ordering a replacement pair, hoping for better results this time.

I have a hard time finding the right shoes due to my bunions. Lol I haven’t accrued enough sick time to get them out but these shoes have been great to my feet in the meantime. I ordered them a size bigger & extra wide since I use shoe inserts. I bought two pairs so I can rotate them every few days. I’m on my feet all day for work & these help with both bunions & plantar fasciitis.
