Expert Review Sources

  • OutdoorGearLab : 74.1 / 100 — « Calibrated with a 12.1 mm drop and weighing 353 g, the Brooks Addiction GTS 15 holds its own against top daily trainer rivals thanks to its resilient Brooks proprietary foam platform. Its upper lockdown and outsole durability on road make it a standout contender at $140. »
  • RunRepeat : 73.6 / 100 — « The Addiction 15 excels as a niche shoe, masterfully prioritizing stability and durability—qualities crucial for severe pronators.

Nevertheless, we believe it's an outstanding choice for runners who need firm support and don't mind its massive heft. »
