Great walking shoes -
I've worn these shoes for several years for walking and general everyday use. They are always comfortable, with lots of toe space and are good shoes for wear with orthotics. I recommend them wholeheartedly! Zappos has filled many orders for me over the years and I've always had excellent service.

Indestructible yet comfortable -
You can walk all day and all night with these shoes and the more you walk the more comfortable they become. The support is excellent and holds the foot firmly and in place. I love this shoe and reordered it even though my original pair hasn't worn out.

The most comfortable shoe ever -
I ordered this shoe after wearing the Brooks Addiction 7 Running Shoe for my workouts. I wanted a walking shoe for everyday and since I love the running shoe, I decided to give it a try. It is very supportive, a good stability shoe, and more breathable and lighter in weight than the New Balance 926 which I used to wear. The arch support is also superior to the New Balance which I had to buy inserts for. I don't need inserts with this shoe. I highly recommend it for anyone who needs stability (I overpronate) and good arch support. It would be wonderful if they came in more colors and could be jazzed up a little and looked a little less like nursing shoes.

Addiction Walker -
These shoes were highly recommended by the podiatrist I work for. The toe end seems a little narrower then my old Propét. Nothing serious. Great looking shoes and very comfortable. Dr. has used my shoes as example for pts he has recommended them to. pts have commented on the shoe's good looks. I have told many pts about Zappos to order shoes. A pt was concerned that he wore a different size in 2 diff brands of shoes. Told him not to worry Zappos has free shipping both ways & its super fast.

I ordered this shoe in white in size 9WW since I have bunions and need the extra width. They felt like they might be a little small so I exchanged them for a 1/2 size larger and they are perfect. I have a hard time finding shoes that don't make my bunions hurt and these are terrific. NO PAIN! I would definitely recommend this shoe if you need extra room and I also recommend Zappos. There exchange policy is so easy. This is the second time I've ordered from them and wouldn't hesitate to order again.

Excellent walking sneaker -
I couldn’t even take a mile walk. But after purchasing brooks addiction walker sneakers I’m walking 3 miles daily and most of the walks are uphill.

Excellent Walker -
I suffer from Planter Fasciitis in both feet & have knee problems. I got New Balance 811, but they were not as good as these. You can wear an orthotic in the Brooks, but I found I did not need it w/ this sneaker. It is lite-weight, but not too attractive… I will fore-go that for the comfort. However, I found I needed to go up 1/2 size & also the wider width. I usually wear 9 1/2 Med., but needed a 10 Wide in this shoe. My New Balance was a 9 1/2 Med & it was fine - it just did not feel as good as the Brooks. I have never worn Brooks before, but I wish I had got these a LONG time ago. My only suggestion is go up 1/2 size & also "play" w/ the width. I have the "usual" skinny heel & wider forefoot. Also, take out the insole & step on it w/ your foot to actually see where your foot lines up w/ the insole. You can tell a lot this way & then know if you need to go wider or not. This shoe also has enough toe room & depth in the toe area so that your toes do not touch the top of the toebox area. As for the heel area, it is deep enough to keep the heel "seated" & prevents excess slipping of the heel. You can also try varied forms of lacing to get that perfect fit.

Finally... pain free!
I have been searching for shoes that I can wear without pain as I have plantar fasciitis and heel spurs in both feet. With the help of Zappos and their customer reviews, I learned about the Brooks Addiction Walker. The moment I put them on I felt relief. It was wonderful to realize that my feet will no longer hurt and that I will be able to continue and enjoy my daily activities again. I love these shoes!

A Really Great Shoe!!!
I recently had foot surgery and decided to take better care of my feet by purchasing well-made shoes. I work in a pharmacy and I'm on my feet 8 hours or longer. These shoes give great support and are very comfortable. They're a little snug even though I ordered the wide width, I may order extra-wide next time. I usually wear New Balance, but these beat them hands down!!! I really like the shoes, I just wish they were a little more stylish - they appear a bit geriatric and I'm not there yet!

Walker with heel problems -
I bought a size 8; normally wear between 71/2 and 8. Fits perfect. I have high arches, narrow heels and plantar fasciitis in one heel. Normal width. I wear both the walker and the runner all day and to work often. It has helped my heel pain and the stability aspect has helped even knee pain. I notice the difference right away when I wear a different pair of shoes, there is a little wobble in the ankle which is not there when wearing the brooks. Definitely recommend for anyone. Very comfortable. The style is a basic sneaker. The black works unobtrusively with work pants.

Loving Brooks -
As soon as I put these shoes on my feet, I knew I would love them. Very comfortable with great cushion and support and no break-in period required. I had been looking for a black pair of walking shoes for vacation trips where you’re walking for at least 8 hours a day and these were the ones. I'd recommend these to over-pronators and anyone who wants a great walking shoe. As usual, Zappos speedy delivery service was outstanding.

My constant walking companion -
I was told by my foot Dr to use one of three shoes, I tried this one first. Now before that I had always had cheap shoes so these seemed terribly expensive, but they helped my feet so I wore them. That was 20 years ago and now I still find if my feet are hurting, I need to go back to my Brooks shoes.

Problem feet -
As a nurse I am on my feet 10 hr plus a day. This is the first shoe that I have ever worn all day the first day. I got a 2E size 9 and finally have room for my orthotic and enough toe box for my bunions and still look professional.
I would recommend this for problem feet.

I found your website and saw that the shoes were free shipping and no taxes so I decide to try buying from your company. I am very glad I did. I bought the shoes on a Mon at 3pm NY time and get them 12pm the next day NY time which I was told the shoe would take four to five days. I have a pair of these shoes so I knew what size to get. These shoes are great. I wear them at work which I work in the food service so I stand long time and I can with this shoe. See I have flat feet and was have a hard time finding shoe that I stand without my feet hurting. I love these shoes so much that I wear them walking my dogs. I will be buying from your company again.

Next to walking on a cloud!
Two years ago I developed Plantar Fasciitis in both feet. I have tried many shoes with different degrees of success.
I wish I would have tied Brooks straight away, they hold the heel in place. Stability in the heel is key for P.F. They are comfortable even with my insoles in them, which I can't say for all shoes.
I also can feel the blood pumping in my feet energizing my feet I haven't experienced that before ever with any shoe. These shoes are lightweight even though they look as though they are heavier. They weigh a little more than my Brooks running shoes which I also love (maybe a pound and a half for both shoes). I feel almost as if I am barefoot, I love that feeling and something not recommended for P.T.
If your insole isn't too high you can wear these shoes without, but get at least a 1/2 size bigger, if you need the full insole maybe a whole size bigger.
I also work in the airline industry and am on my feet all day. I had to stand 4 hours the other day with 1 flight I had pain, but bearable. I was sore the next day but I could walk.
I am sorry for the length of this review I am just so impressed with these shoes and recommend them to you highly.
I also want to say thank you Zappos, you had these shoes to me within 36 hours. I have never had to wait more than two and a half days for my shoes (that only happened once), I usually get them within a day.

Review of Brooks Addiction Walker -
A great shoe for my problem of collapsed arches. I can wear this with many types of clothes. For me, this is an essential shoe for support and pain reduction.

Brooks Addiction Walker -
I love these shoes. They have great support - best walking shoe I have owned. The 10 1/2 wide seems slightly shorter and narrower than my
Easy Spirit walkers in the same size, but not enough to create a problem (i.e. the Easy Spirits were a little roomier than I needed).

The Brooks Addiction Walker -
All I can say is, thanks to a good friend's advice, this shoe was the lifesaver I was looking for. I have flat feet and have a very hard time finding shoes that truly fit my foot the way they should. These walkers are amazing. I'm also diabetic and think I may have a little neuropathy beginning in my feet. I was trying to walk in a regular pair of tennis shoes on my treadmill and my feet were hurting so badly I thought I was going to have to stop using the treadmill, but now, I'm walking 2 miles every single morning and NO MORE PAIN like I had before, so I'll never wear anything else. Zappos.com and this particular shoe are 5 stars all the way.

Stability in a wide shoe -
I have a serious problem with pain secondary to a lifetime walking with flat feet. I had a triple arthrodesis to help stabilize my ankle. These shoes keep me from pronating and they hold up for at least 6 months.
