These are the most comfortable athletice shoe I have ever bought. After many different brands I was happy to find these. I also bought the New Balance Country Walker also very comfy, great for the days when it is wet. More for cooler weather though.

Shoe Size: Felt a half size larger than marked
Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support
Shoe Width: Felt true to width
These shoes are terrific! They provide full support, are lightweight, comfortable, and make me want to walk, stand, or be active. Like the color as it doesn't stand out as much as white shoes do, and does not show dust or dirt. Have worn them to travel, work, clean house, walk. Had the same shoe, previously (two years ago), and this one had to be one half size larger to fit correctly.

The shoes came very fast and were exactly what I wanted. The price was definitely competitive. I had shopped around a good bit before I bought. I've used Zappos before and will definitely use them again. I have recommended them to family and friends.

These athletic shoes were suggested by local long distance mountain runner; said if you have experienced foot issues, these shoes would take care of the issues. He was right! I was able to recover from planter fasciitis and resume my normal 10 - 15 miles of walking per week. My feet never get "hot", I don't experience "sore heels" or "Tingly Toes". The support they give allows me to be confident in my stride; I feel great for an overweight over 50 physically active woman!

I have worn these shoes before, but decided to try the wider width. They work much better, and the shoes help me avoid back and leg aches. Zappos' service was absolutely fantastic. I would never hesitate to order from Zappos.

I've been wearing Addiction for years. This shoe is really for people who have flat feet like me. Although Addiction 8 isn't perfect (I liked 6 the best, and 7 was terrible), this is still a good shoe, not too heavy but stiff enough to control instability of my feet.

These are my 4th pair of the Brooks Addictions. They are the best for wear and overall durability. I use them for work and I do 12 hour shifts and have arthritic feet and bad knees and these shoes remain comfortable throughout the long day. Zappos rocks for service and prices. Thanks.

I have flat feet, ankle issues, and need a lot of support and stability. These shoes give great stability. The only one negative is that the soles are pretty thick that they almost like like those MBT type shoes.

Great shoe for flat feet & severe pronation. Soft cushy foot bed-great with orthotics. Good balance. Order up a 1/2 size- runs small.

Simply the Best -
As a severe overpronator, I was fit for Brooks Addiction at a specialty running store almost 6 years ago. I bought them and haven't looked back since. The ride is smooth, the support is phenomenal, and the quality is excellent. While they don't make my gait look any better, something short of a miracle is enough for me.

I normally wear 8.5 size sports shoe. I was fitted with a size 9 and have been wearing them for almost one year. It has been supporting, not only my feet but my back as well. In other shoes or barefooted, my back would start aching in 15 minutes and my walking would be limited to 15 to 30 minutes. With these shoes I can be up, standing, walking for 5 or more hours (without an ache anywhere).

This shoe HUGS your foot -
The addiction is properly named. After all the research and fittings, I shall look no farther. So snuggly does this hold to my high arch and narrow heel that I need never take them off. Cheap (for us who can't wear shoes)...at any price, but ZAPPOS SERVICE is the BEST!

Super Shoe -
This is a great shoe, true to size. Since I am on my feet all day and working on cement floors, this shoe has lived up to what it says. I will definitely buy this one again.

Great Shoes -
These shoes felt just great as soon as I took my first steps with them. I have been wearing them every day since they arrived. I had surgery for a torn tendon in my foot and have to wear good support for close to a year. I will continue to purchase this type of shoe, due to pronation.

Great shoe -
This is my second pair of these and I really like them. I have a narrow, flat foot and like to walk at good clip for exercise. These are comfortable from the start, light weight and quite supportive. I wish they came in other colors.

For runners that pronate, these are great -
The first time I tried these on I thought they were a bit too short. However, they are not and they are the best running shoes for people that over pronate. I love them, but I think they may be being discontinued which would be a sad thing for me.
