Our verdict

The Addiction 15 excels as a niche shoe, masterfully prioritising stability and durability—qualities crucial for severe pronators. We found that Brooks maximised these features, albeit at the expense of weight and versatility, as we found that it's heavier compared to most competitors. Nevertheless, we believe it's an outstanding choice for runners who need firm support and don't mind its massive heft.

BROOKS ADRENALINE GTS 20 HOMBRE

We're convinced the Addiction GTS 15 from Brooks excels in specific areas that make it a top pick for certain individuals. We think its:

  • zapatillas de running Brooks media maratón talla 38.5 verdes entre 60 y 100.
  • Perfect for those who prefer firmer cushioning and don’t mind added weight.
  • Excellent for runners concerned with pronation and outsole durability.

Who should NOT buy

Despite its strengths, we do not recommend the Addiction GTS 15 for certain runners. Those who prefer lighter footwear should steer clear of this model—instead, we suggest the Mochila Brooks England Hackney vermelho escuro, zapatillas de running Brooks mujer amortiguación media pie normal ultra trail azules.

We also think that runners who find firmer foams uncomfortable might struggle with the Addiction GTS 15. While firmness does typically enhance support, if you're willing to sacrifice some stability, consider the ASICS Gel Kayano 30 or the brooks classic slip on og classic slip on lx ct vintage slip Brooks Addiction running shoes.

Breathability

The Addiction GTS 15, which we purchased and tested in our lab, might not appear breathable at first glance due to its all-black colorway, right?

However, we discovered that it actually offers excellent ventilation. After conducting our eye-catching smoke test, we rated it 4 out of 5—a highly favourable score suitable for all seasons.

Our examination with a light revealed the secret behind its optimal ventilation. The engineered mesh upper features hundreds of tiny holes that effectively allow air and moisture to pass rojas.

Intrigued by the abundance of ventilation holes, we next examined them under our microscope.

We observed that the mesh cleverly opens slightly every few millimetres with remarkable precision.

Concluding this section, we analysed the sliced upper and found the material to be well padded, providing a perfect balance of comfort and breathability.

We already know that the Addiction boasts good ventilation, but does this compromise its durability? Surprisingly, no.

After our Dremel test, when the sandpaper tip ceased spinning, we discovered only minor damage. This translates to a 3/5 on our durability scale—a very positive result indeed!

Outsole hardness

As we flipped the shoe, our focus turned to the hardness of the Blown Rubber outsole.

The outsole coverage is impressive. We also discovered countless cutouts that enhance the shoe's longitudinal flexibility.

We pressed our Shore C durometer and recorded a measurement of 89.4 HC, indicating its robust nature. This shoe is just built like a tank.

Outsole thickness

We had already proven the fantastic durability of the outsole, but when we measured its thickness with our vernier callipers, we were astounded. At 6.0 mm, it's one of the thickest outsoles we've ever tested in our lab, especially notable since it's made of hard rubber, not a super-soft blend like the ASICS Cumulus 26.

This suggests that the outsole will likely last a veeeery long time. However, we also discovered that such a thick, hard outsole can mute the ride, sometimes making it feel like a brick.

Weight

Cushioning

Heel stack

We recently observed that the Addiction GTS 15 is packed with more foam than before. Now, it's essential to assess in the lab Brooks' claims by measuring its stack.

Compra las Brooks Hyperion Tempo para hombre al mejor precio foam

The shoe features a heel height of 36.5 mm, which offers substantial cushioning. However, it's important to note that not all of this height is due to foam—as we've previously demonstrated, much of it includes the hard rubber outsole... and the insole.

Forefoot stack

The forefoot cushioning is notably thinner than the heel, measuring just 24.4 mm. This design suggests us that the shoe is specifically tailored for heel strikers, offering a clear indication of its intended user base.

Drop

As you might guess from our previous tests, this shoe has a substantial drop. Brooks reports it as 12.0 mm, and our measurements show 12.1 mm. This minimal discord is truly impressive, as we typically encounter variances of 3 or 4 mm.

With its high drop and reduced cushioning in the forefoot, it's clear that this motion control shoe is made for those who strike the ground with the rearfoot.

Midsole softness

Note: a low durometer measurement equals a soft material, whereas a high measurement means it's firm.

Two words fully describe this shoe—heavy and firm. We've discussed its weight, and now it's time to evaluate its foam.

During our test runs, the BioMoGo DNA foam felt exceptionally firm, and with a measurement of 30.1 HA on our durometer, our findings confirm this. Yet, we're not taken aback by this result. A firm midsole is crucial for a motion control shoe as it provides essential support for those with severe pronation issues.

Stability

Lateral stability test

The Addiction GTS 15 may resemble a brick, but its stability is unmatched. We can't recall another shoe that offers such a robust sense of stability for heel strikers.

This remarkable stability is also partly due to Brooks' GuideRails technology.

Compra las Brooks Hyperion Tempo para hombre al mejor precio GuideRails

Essentially, these are two hard plastic pieces embedded into the sides of the heel, guiding the feet forward and preventing collapse—and they certainly do their job!

Compra las Brooks Hyperion Tempo para hombre al mejor precio | Torsional rigidity

This shoe is geared specifically to those with severe pronation issues. Given this, it was no surprise that bending or twisting the Addiction GTS 15 proved incredibly challenging. Consequently, we awarded it a top score of 5/5 for its massive rigidity.

Naturally, a shoe built for substantial stability isn't expected to be flexible, yet this one is exceptionally rigid, akin a carbon-plated model.

Heel counter stiffness

We anticipated a similar result in this test, yet we were surprised. Instead of a rigid, steel-like heel counter, Brooks opted for a more balanced approach akin to daily trainers, with a moderate stiffness rating of 3/5.

This design choice enhances comfort, particularly for those with sensitive heels, and seems wise given the shoe's sufficient stability.

Flexibility

Stiffness

The Addiction GTS 15, obviously lacking a plate, had a moderate performance in our 90-degree bend test with a force of 30.1N. It's essential for the shoe to maintain some flexibility longitudinally, given its extreme rigidity in torsional tests—this flexibility is key for enhancing comfort.

Remember, while it's critical for a supportive shoe to control lateral forces, having a sole that can flex longitudinally poses no issues in that regard and enhances the overall comfort for daily runs and various activities.

Size and fit

Toebox width at the widest part

Our initial measurement in the toebox—always taken at the widest part—showed that the Addiction GTS 15 spans an accommodating 97.4 mm in our US 9 (D) pair, comfortably fitting most foot sizes.

Moreover, it's HOKA impressive that Brooks offers this model in a full range of widths: Narrow (B), Regular (D), Wide (2E), and Extra-Wide (4E). There are only a handful of models on the shelves offering such a variety of widths!
