Poor arch support and insufficient cushion. I am sorry that I wasted my money on this shoe. These shoes don't provide enough support on their own, but when I add an orthotic insole, they hurt my little toe. I was hoping this Brooks shoe would be okay after I broke them in, but unfortunately, they still hurt my feet every time I wear them. It was my fault for not returning these shoes for a refund, immediately. The black color is the only redeeming feature of this shoe. Kudos to Zappos for super fast delivery. I will purchase another pair of Nikes, from Zappos, instead. The Nikes are less expensive, have better arch support, and much better cushion. I didn't realize how much I loved the Nikes until I bought these Brooks.

Best shoe for osteoarthritic knees. Great cushion and design prevents twisting. Provides significant relief when walking.

Excellent comfort, fit, etc. I am a restaurant manager and am on my feet anywhere from 8-12 hours a day. These shoes have been a godsend replacing my Crocs, Danskos, and SFC. My one complaint and the reason it didn't get a perfect 5 is that the "non-slip" needs a lot of improvement. It works, it’s about average, but it’s nothing like the SFC or Crocs non slip grip.

Best shoe for the narrow foot - Having a narrow foot size AAA, needless to say it has been increasingly difficult to find shoes. The Brooks Addiction Walker 13N is all I buy now. If they ever stop making it or it only comes in white I will be in big trouble. And Zappos is the best! Arrived the next day on my last pair. Wow!

Outstanding Customer Service... As Always! I am very pleased with the shoe(s), but what I want to emphasize is the Zappos customer service. I have been a customer for many years, and have always been happy. This time, through MY own fault, I ordered too late to receive the shoes before leaving town. The service rep, without hesitation, offered to upgrade me to next day delivery--the shoes, she said, would leave the next day and arrive a day after. BUT THE SHOES THEMSELVES ACTUALLY ARRIVED THE NEXT DAY! Kudos to Zappos!!

I was looking for a comfortable yet stylish shoe. The Taryn Rose Lupe shoe arrived today and it is indeed a good looking shoe. Unfortunately I am unable to judge comfort at this point since I discovered today that this style runs small to size. (In my case I normally where a 9.5 -- B width.) I should also mention that I found that the shoe's design was such that the shoe hugged my foot nicely in terms of width. I have now returned the shoe for a larger size. It remains to be seen if going up 1 size (to a 10) or two a 10.5 will achieve the proper fit.

Comfort and Support - The shoe is true to size and support. When your lifestyle is a lot of walking on concrete floors, you need the shock support and comfort. This shoe is true to its size and support. I will continue to buy this product as this is my second pair. Buy in confidence.

I normally wear 7.5 size shoes but because these are for outdoor uses so I ordered them in size 8 and they were too long and too roomy. I immediately call the customer services and let them know I wished to exchange these for 7 1/2. The new shoes arrived at my front door the next day! They fit wonderful. I tried to walk with them on the carpet for about half an hour and my feet didn't complain. Good arch support. Very comfortable. I then went out for a 1/2 mile walk and my feet felt happy, very happy with it. I ordered it in purple and because with grey, these shoes are so good with blue jean and other colors too. They have nice look for informal wear. These shoes will be very COOL to walk during the hot summer months. For those who have flat feet and small heels might want to order these shoes half size smaller. These shoes are "roomy" from end to end, especially the heels. It fits my feet nicely because I have "round" feet. Zappos' services are SUPERIOR and is the BEST place to shop!

Addiction Walker - This is my second pair of Addiction Walkers. I'm on my feet (concrete floor) for long periods of time and the Brooks Walkers keep me energized. After work, I find my back and legs don't hurt like they did with my "other shoes". I highly recommend the Brooks Addiction Walker.

Best for motion control - For people with flat feet, Brooks Addiction and Beast are it. Other brands eg Asics can't compare.

Great Shoe - I ordered my first pair last summer. They felt heavy at first but they have been great for my 3 mile walks. I am on my feet all day as a teacher so these plus my orthotics are the best things for me. Though not "fashionable" but if you have had back or leg issues these are the shoes for you. I just ordered another pair Saturday and they came today. I should have ordered both pairs since they are out of my size and color.

Great Shoe! Brooks make great running shoes and I bought this model/style for work since I will be on my feet a lot. The style and color are perfect for my work environment. Great quality and comfortable. I hope these are as good as my other pair of Brooks. As always, Zappos exceeded my expectation on service and customer satisfaction!! I gave these a 4 rating since I've only owned these a very short time.

I like these better than any other. Good shoes are hard to find for the uses I need and the surfaces I use. Ten hour shifts walking and standing on airport concrete. I had a pair of Brooks Synergy that were better than Hush Puppies or Clarks; Danskos, Nike or New Balance. The Addiction Walker is built on the same last as the as the Synergy, so I compared them to Drew Force and Big Easy. I have wide feet and not many fit. Brooks do. Brooks are comfortable right away, non-plastic surfaces don't strain the soles of my feet, and they are supportive... The best shoe I have owned for this use in 60 years.

Very comfortable walking shoe - My husband, who has very low arches and wears orthotics, is finding this to be a very comfortable shoe. It's a bit clunky looking, but of six pairs of walking shoes he tried out recently, this was by far the most comfortable.

A Perfect Fit - No Complaints - Received shoes in the early afternoon and tried them out right away. Went for a 3.5 mile walk without experiencing any discomfort or problems. Keep up the good work. I've purchased several walking shoes from ZAPPOS and never had any problems. Always read customer's reviews when preparing to purchase shoes.

Comfort at its best!!!! Brooks Addiction Walker 08 is the best fit in a walking shoe for me personally. Comfort and fit is the key.

Repeat customer for life - My husband and I used to come home at night and have "my feet hurt" contests. Now we have nothing to talk about! Thank you for allowing us both the free air space to listen (not just watch) TV together.
