Customer Reviews Brooks Addiction GTS 15

I had tried Brooks Ghost 13 and Ghost 14. I did not like them. I am very pleased I chose to get the Brooks Addiction GTS 15. Good fit for me. I also like the type of shoe laces in this shoe.

I usually wear an 8.5 narrow. I ordered a 9 narrow. After wearing for three weeks, my left toe hurts because the shoe is ANOTHER half size smaller than I need. I'm SOL now because I can't return since I've worn them - UGH!!

Toe box was way too small, had to return them.

These shoes are much longer and wider than other Brooks sneakers I own and ordered. I am hoping to exchange for a smaller size.

I probably would have kept these shoes and just put an arch support sole in it, but the shoe felt too narrow/shallow, especially for a wide. I had to open the laces a lot to get my foot in. When I walked around I could feel the angled collar around my ankle rubbing with each step. I have to wear an orthotic on one side which would take up even more space in the shoe. Back they go

The fit was way to short for my size 12 medium width foot. Felt it had very little arch support. Even with my orthodics.

I liked the looks and color of these shoes so much that I ignored warning signs that they hurt my feet until yesterday after a 13K step day I was in severe pain on the top of my foot. Don't know whether is was pressing on a bone or a muscle or whether I'm developing arthritis, but these don't work for me. A few times I brushed off the pain in top of foot after wearing them as not related to shoe, but I'm giving up :(

Brooks have been a letdown for the last few years and this shoe is no exception. Runs very small and the wide width is so narrow. My foot is not wide, I just like extra toe room and the wide width on this was so narrow that it pinched the middle of my foot and my toes. I also ordered a half size up from normal and was still too small and narrow.

I have worn Brooks for several years but like other reviewers, I too, am disappointed in the declining quality of their shoes. I purchased the Addiction 15 this past May and already the fabric on the inside around the toes has torn. Overall it feels like the shoe is breaking down much more quickly in terms of support. Sadly, I will need to find an alternative company as I'm unwilling to buy shoes every three months.

The instep was very tight. Hard to even get shoe on foot. The padding around the ankle was excessive, probably the cause of not being able to get foot in without a lot of difficulty. The Ghost 16 I tried fit the same way as this Addiction. I went up a size with the Ghost 16 thinking it would fit, but it was much too large overall . My old Ghost 13 and 15 did not have this problem. What's with the new Brooks? Why all the ankle padding? Why so narrow at the instep?
