Brooks Addiction™ Walker SKU: #7414348

Best shoe for my feet - I was glad to see a new color for the Brooks Addiction. This new version fits just as well as the old ones. These are the only shoes I can wear all day. I have problem feet with arthritis and bunions. This shoe has such good arch support I don't have to put in an insert. The XX wide accommodates my bunions. I don't know what I would do if I couldn't get these shoes.

Brooks Addiction first time buyer - The shoes are comfortable. Unfortunately I have developed plantar fasciitis (no connection to the fit of the shoe). I'm glad my orthotics fit well in the shoes.

The only walking shoe - This leather walker is the only walking shoe I have found that fits my foot and gives me stability on any surface. I was thrilled to see that it has more tread on the bottom than previous models. I wear this shoe for hiking, walking, and general purpose. It fits pretty true to size and I wear an 11 2A which is hard to find.

Great for standing all day - This is the first pair of Brooks I have bought and they are so comfortable and supportive. I stand on my feet 8 to 10 hours per day and they are great. I used to always wear New Balance, but after reading the reviews on this shoe, I bought it. Glad I did!

Brands I'd also recommend: New Balance SL-2 fit if you have a narrow heel.

This shoe is very good for overpronators, but it (of course) lacks the flexibility and support of a standard walking shoe. If what you need is a serious stabilizing shoe, this is a great choice. It is as unattractive as shoes get, though.

Brooks has it all! I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis 13 years ago and subsequently suffered damage to the tendons in my foot. The stability of the Brooks shoe and the high collar around the ankle enabled me to walk and maintain my balance. Orthotics had not been able to do this for me. The neutral color offered this year is also a plus. The roomy toe box is very comfortable.

Happy Feet In Portland!!! These are wonderful for those feet who need that extra ahhhh!!! They do seem to run half size smaller though so order up. Thank you Zappos, the shoes got here so fast. I think the UPS driver had flames shooting out from under his feet!!!

Brooks Addiction Walker - superior support - For someone who needs superior support in a shoe which can accommodate orthotics, this shoe is excellent. It's all I've worn for the last five years. I have yet to find another shoe which offers the same support, and I've tried many.

Brooks Addiction Walker - I have tried everything to find a good walking shoe and finally found it with the Brooks Addiction Walker. I have plantar fasciitis and it's hard to find a shoe that will accommodate my inserts, support my feet and be comfortable all at the same time. There was virtually no break in time and I find it's the perfect walking shoe. The fit was accurate; I ordered my regular size, 8.5. I was so happy with the first pair, I bought 2 more in different colors, and I’m set for winter. And Zappos is absolutely the best mail order shoe company. I ordered on a Thursday and they were here on Friday. They have been that fast on all my orders from them. Also, while trying to find the best walking shoe, my returns to Zappos were very easy and went without a hitch. Zappos is the greatest!!!

LKB - I ordered this shoe to try to help my aching feet from walking on cement all day at work. They are wonderful! I have tried so many brands and types of shoes and never had any good results until I got these shoes. The only downside would be they aren’t the most attractive shoe (I got the tan color), but the comfort and support are worth the little slide on looks! I have no pain at all in my feet since I started wearing these shoes. It's been years since I could say that. Buy them!

Outstanding Shoe! My Wife is on her feet for the majority of her workday and she use to complain about her feet hurting. I bought her these shoes and I haven't heard complaint one! She said she loves these shoes and I'm about to buy her another pair.

Great nursing shoe - As a nurse who does 12 hours shifts, this shoe is perfect. All leather so cleans easily, professional in appearance. I usually wear a 1/2 size smaller so go up 1/2 size when ordering for the best fit.

This is my second pair, and I still think they are the best walking shoes ever. I have difficult to fit feet. My feet are wide and flat, and I use prescription orthotics. I wear these shoes everyday and walk about 12,000 steps a day. I have never had a blister or callus with these shoes. They are great!

THE BEST sneaker/shoe ever owned! I bless the woman who adamantly encouraged me to try this shoe. She, like myself, formerly wore nothing but New Balance until she discovered the Brooks Addiction Walker. I have wide feet and very pronounced bunions and hammertoes. The comfort factor is unbelievably great. Super for wearing all day long. The extra wide (EE) shoe fits and feels so well that I also ordered a pair last night in bone and one in white. Several reviews I read on your site also were extremely helpful. This shoe is true to size and width. I LOVE THIS SHOE and I LOVE ZAPPOS. Thank you.

Most Excellent Online Dealer I have ever dealt with! This was my first order from Zappos. I ordered two pairs of Brooks Addiction Walker shoes. The shoes were exactly as described and wonderful quality--as I expected from Brooks. The big difference for me was the extremely fast shipping from Zappos!!!! I ordered these shoes on a Monday afternoon and they were delivered to my door the next morning. Thank you so much for being so good to your customers!!!! I will be a loyal customer for a long time to come! Karen T

The Addiction Walker gave me new feet - I have a mountainous hammer toe and a bunion as wide as a semi. My feet hurt so much that it was difficult for me to stand for more than 8 minutes. I slipped my orthotics into the Addiction Walker and went out to clean the garage. Then my feet were tired so I needed to sit. It was hard to believe that I had been standing/walking for FOUR HOURS. I wear these to my aerobics classes and play tennis in them. They work as well for those activities as they do for straight walking. You have such a great company. Thanks for making it possible for me to buy shoes that fit difficult feet. You have allowed me to put off foot surgery. Tennis players who have foot surgery no longer play tennis and I’m still getting the ball back at age 69. I've told so many people about you. Thank you. Cella Q

Brands I'd also recommend: I would have said New Balance but I think I like the Brooke line better.

Ordered a half size larger than my usual. Not as much arch support as I expected. Still comfortable.
