Stumbled on to these after doing a search for "best walking shoe" and having it come up from various merchants with great reviews. Was desperate for a good shoe for a fund raising walk. My training shoes had actually given me a blister on my arch...I know that's crazy! I wanted a shoe that was roomy enough for multiple socks in an effort to protect the blister and so I ordered these. They look like Herman Munster shoes, butT I love them. They are so comfortable. Would definitely get the black over the white. It is a lot of shoe and mine are a 6.

Walking is my exercise of choice. I have "foot issues"...such as pronation and sensitive fascia. I also have arthritis in my hands which made finding a walking shoe with stability and velcro straps (rather than shoelaces) important to me. I found the broadest selection of this particular style shoe at Zappos. The Brooks Addiction Walker V-Strap has the fit, comfort and support one could expect from one of the leading walking shoe manufacturers. It is well worth the price and I fully endorse this shoe for fit, comfort and quality. Because I had a question while viewing this shoe online, I called Zappos and was greeted with their customary good natured, efficient and helpful advice. I am so glad I followed Zappos advice regarding the width of this shoe as 67% of previous buyers felt the shoe ran narrower than the stated width. My foot is a bit wider than the B width I have had to accommodate in my dress shoes. Since Brooks offered this shoe in a Wide width, I decided to try it after speaking with the lovely sales associate and I am so glad I did! I'd previously purchased another shoe and had to return it for width reasons. As usual, Zappos expedited both the exchange and payment balancing with efficiency and utmost courtesy! Thank you once again, Zappos!

Excellent shoes for serious walking or just running errands. This shoes keeps my pronation problem under control and I can walk all day without leg or foot pain. Also, the velcro straps are great for easy on\/off.

This shoe has been the answer to a prayer! I have a broken toe and this shoe had the width and comfort to allow me to walk without pain! There is actually a spring to my walk now!

Outstanding shoe for anyone who has had any major foot surgery, or have problems with balance. Custom orthotics fit very well into these soft pig skin shoes. The Velcro straps are wonderful for those in whom their feet swell throughout the day. I have 6 bolts in each foot, have custom orthotics, poor balance, and am on my feet all day long. I have been wearing these shoes for the past 6 years and even though I have tried to change my shoe style (using Zappos free shipping), I keep on keeping these shoes and send all of the other styles back after trying them on and being disappointed in their construction, how they fit, ect.on I have found that no other shoes in this category even come close to how good The Brooks Addiction Walker V-strap are (no I do not work for Zappos!) Also very good for people who are unstable on their feet, they have a wide base and since you can adjust the straps, you can customize how secure your feet are within the shoes. If you have bad feet or poor balance, try them once and you will never find anything else as good!

I was first directed to these shoes by a fitting expert in a local shoe store. These have been the only shoes that offer lots of support while also fitting my arch and never making blisters, even passing a test of walking all over NYC in a new pair! I went to Zappos for future pairs for both the quick service and cost savings.

My mother has plantar fasciitis, and she loves these shoes because they help alleviate her symptoms. These shoes rock!

Love them. I haven't had much luck lately with sneakers, but after reading the reviews on this one, I tried them. If you have a balance problem, try these sneakers. So comfortable and makes you walk steady.

Awesome shoe! I needed an athletic shoe with Velcro because of arthritis, and one with a nice deep toe box. This shoe is all that and more. It's lightweight, durable, very comfortable, and even looks nice! It's a little expensive but worth every cent - I just ordered a second pair!

I love these shoes! I read the reviews and saw that they could run small and narrow, so I ordered a half size larger and ordered a wide, and they fit perfectly. They were comfortable the first time I wore them, and the velcro closers are so helpful since I have back problems.

This is the second pair of the same shoe that I purchased for my 88 year old mother. I originally got them when she broke her arm and couldn't tie her shoes. Now that she is healed, they are still a great convienence for her as well as a very comfortable shoe.

Zappos is unbelievable. I ordered these shoes late Wednesday afternoon and received them at 10am Thursday morning. You guys and these shoes are great! Brooks Addiction Walkers are very comfortable and supportive and are great to work in. I am a nurse and have had a few pairs of these, both tie and velcro. They can't be beat and I will come back for more when needed.

These shoes changed my life! I have plantar fasciitis and walking had become a chore. Now my feet are pain-free. Love these shoes.

Finally! A walking shoe that fits perfectly, is comfortable and accommodates my orthotics easily. I love the velcro straps, so much easier and faster than shoelaces. I bought 9 pairs of shoes before I found this one. I read a lot of reviews on the Brooks Addiction and bought the first pair, with shoelaces, a half size larger as reviewers recommended and it was way too large so I ordered this one and the one with shoelaces in my correct size and both fit very well. I ordered the V-strap shoe out of curiosity and it's the one I like best in terms of looks so I'm keeping it. Thank you Zappos for allowing me to purchase and return shoes until I found the right one! I tell everyone about Zappos, you rock! (as the younger generation would say). I rated the arch support as excellent, because I believe it would be for most feet; however, due to my severe pronation, I need to wear orthotics.

These are the most comfortable sneakers I have ever worn. They do run a tad small, so I ordered the next 1/2 size larger. Love them!
