I've worn the Addiction Walker for years. The fit is perfect for my very wide and buniony feet, and I love the thick sole. Due to a series of foot disasters, I now have orthotic insoles, custom made to fit the shoe. I have to wear them all the time, from the moment I get up till I go to bed. Because of the insoles, I have to wear the Addiction Walker on all occasions, grubby or fancy. This made me gloomy sometimes, until I discovered shoe paints. I now have six gorgeously painted pairs, and a seventh waiting for inspiration.

These shoes are a little clunky looking, but extremely comfortable. They fit my narrow foot well. I have used them for long walks and lots of sightseeing and they continue to be comfortable.

These shoes are life savers! I had been in pain for months, not looking forward to walking everywhere in Greece and Turkey. The day after I received these, tendinitis pain, foot and leg pain gone! I still use with my orthotics, they fit in just fine, along with gel insoles. I wish there were more styles, that would be great. But anyone with foot or leg pain should give these a try, what have you got to lose - just a lot of pain.

I have to admit, I'm getting ready to order my 4th pair of these shoes. I love them! I also have over pronation and these are the most comfortable shoes I have found with great arch support!

Now that I need foot orthotics for a collapsed ankle, I discovered they didn't work at all with my favorite New Balance shoes (926,927). Brooks Addiction works well with thick, high arch orthotics. I have more room for my toes, bunions, and the leather gives easily in that area. I would swap the soles of the NB 927 with the Brooks if I could. Brooks have harder soles and are not as comfortable for standing for long periods. I bought the black and bone Brooks Addiction Walkers as well. They do look less clunky than the New Balance 927's, so that's a plus!

These are the only shoes that accommodate my orthotic. Ghastly big (EE width), but they work. Second pair!

This is my 3rd pair of Brooks Addiction Walkers. I keep buying same size and style because they are so comfortable, and look nice, too. I need a shoe that provides very good support, which these do. I have recommended them to several friends, who have also purchased Brooks Addiction Walkers.

I found Brooks shoes were sold through Zappos via the internet. Since I had a pair,still in wearable condition, I asked for the same style and size. They were shipped (free!) and turned out to be too narrow. When I called about that, a dear lady suggested I try the next width. I sent back the first pair and the new size was sent quickly to me...all free shipping! They are perfect. In fact today I saw my podiatrist and he said they are excellent shoes. Hooray! Thanks, Zappos, for great service and fun communications.

These were recommended by my doctor, as I have arthritis and plantar fasciitis. What a difference they have made along with the recommended treatments, I'm finally walking without pain. I got the wide and glad I did, it gives me plenty of room in the foot bed, so if I want to wear thick socks I can with no problems, and my ortho inserts, fit perfect.

This is a great shoe! Very well made and very comfortable. I have circulation issues in my feet requiring me to wear a very wide shoe. These did the trick. I may order another pair. Zappos was excellent as always!

I absolutely love my Brooks Addiction Walking shoes...the only thing that would make me love them more is if they were not so masculine looking. But they are comfy and supporting and that makes for an enjoyable walk. Plus, I have persnickety feet.

These were recommended to me by my foot doctor and are great if you need stability control. Zappos' service was very fast and though I didn't need to make a return, the free shipping/return promise is what attracted me to use this company. Great service!

After collapsing my left arch while walking my rambunctious dog, my Foot & Ankle doc recommended these shoes and I have been buying them ever since. Great for stabilizing your balance while walking. With my orthotic I am good to garden for 4-5 hours.

Nice looking, comfortable shoe, surprisingly lightweight and super comfortable. Plenty of room in the toe box and the heel cup hugs nicely. Highly recommend these shoes for walking and general daily wear.

Very comfortable from the minute I put them on. Bought them based on everyone else's good reviews. Am going to order a pair for my 85 year old mother who also pronates badly like I do. I ordered them a half size up from my normal size and they fit great. My mom said they made my feet look small!
