I have some pretty funky feet and Brooks products are the best shoes every. I can wear them all day with minimal feet issues that aren't their fault:-)

The shoe fits and provides me the support I need with my arthritis. I would recommend this shoe to anyone who needs arch support and has arthritis. The price is good as compared to other shoes advertised to help with foot problems.

Shoes fit great. I did remove the stock insoles and added custom arch supports. The comfort is great the first day and lasts thru the life of the shoe.. I walk 2.5 miles every day wearing these shoes and they last about 18 months.

I've been wearing Brooks Addiction and Brooks Beast running shoes for years. This Addiction Walker fits exactly the same but is perhaps a little more acceptable is some social settings. Funny question about "style", though. It is what it is. It's not a dress shoe. Bottom line: I'm going to be placing my order for the same shoe in brown within the next day or two. Clear enough?

Bought these for my husband and he loves them. He especially likes them for travel. Seems like he's always running thru the airport to catch the next flight! They are very comfortable and look good too.

I am very pleased with this purchase. Much better support than other brands I've purchased. So good, that I don't even need to use my orthotics. Appears to be very well manufactured. Although it does seem a bit more snug than other walking shoes, i wouldn't have changed from my normal size. As my other walking shoes haven't lasted as long as I would have expected, I'm looking forward to seeing how they wear over time.

These shoes are, simply put, outstanding. The immediate comfort of the true fit of the soft leather, and excellent arch support, is unmatched. I'm always searching for perfect shoes and I think I've found them. I have flat feet, bunions, and gout, and these are handling all three quite well so far. I'm surprised they don't carry a higher price tag.

I've been wearing the Brooks Ghost running shoes and thought I'd give the walkers a try. They were a bit snugger than I expected and had to go with an EE width, but I'm very happy with them. They are NOT running shoes, they don't have the lightness or agility, but... they'll last longer and help comfort my aging knees. Very little break in time and good support. Only thing lacking according to my sons: they look like shoes an old man would wear.

I like these rather a lot, but had to buy a half size larger than my normal shoe, as they do run very narrow- I wish I could get a good width in my regular size, but, these was a good compromise. The foot bed is quite comfortable without being too soft, as in the Dyad walkers that I own. I hope to enjoy these for years to come-

The fit is excellent, and arch support is the main reason I purchase the shoes time and time again. I have owned six pairs in the last few years and will continue to purchase. Durable shoe, I have never had them fall a part, loose stiching or have the laces breakdown. Great shoe.

The shoe fit very good, it is super comfortable. I stand on concrete for 48 hours a week, and these made a difference in my back and neck for sure. I would recommend .. that lasted roughly 14 months and they started to tear on the side seam. But I pushed them another 8 months...

Been buying Brooks Addiction Walkers in Black and White for a few years. Just ordered this brown color and instantly loved them. I am a 65 yo woman with large feet. These men's shoes are a great fit for me. The brown is a nice change with pants for fall and winter.

I originally got regular width and they were a bit tight, getting wide solved the issue. They're good looking shoes, size as expected. I used to do these vigorous walks daily and always had tired legs at the end. Doing so with these eliminated the fatigue, so they're definitely different and better than others for this kind of activity. Wearing them all day is comfortable. One day it rained and I got a bunch of rain on them - nothing soaked through, I was totally dry. Once the top got dry, they look exactly as before (no wet stain marks or such). I definitely would recommend these shoes for anyone looking for comfortable and nice casual shoes for all kinds of non-Summer weather.

My son is a USPS letter carrier and this shoe is all that he will wear. He walks about 7 miles per day in addition to getting in and out of his truck all day, so he puts a lot of weight on these shoes. They hold up well and give him a lot of support.

This was my first pair of Brooks Addiction Walkers. They had been out of stock on my size for sometime and I almost bought another pair of New Balance. I am so glad I waited for the email telling me they were back in stock. These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. So often, I want to kick my shoes off as soon as I get home. That is not so with these. I have peripheral neuropathy and very flat feet and nothing feels good. I don’t even know these are on. They felt true to size and width with ample toe box room. I can see I will be buying more of these in the future. The only negative thing I have to say is that the laces seemed a little short.

The fit and size are perfect. This is the third pair that my husband has bought. He finds them to be excellent quality and he wears them every day. He's on his feet a lot as he's a physician and walks around in the hospital a great deal. As he has diabetes, his podiatrist recommended this shoe and model, and he was right on point with his recommendation.

Very snug without feeling tight or rigid. Supportive. No break-in period—felt great on first wear!

My husband can't say enough good things about the Brooks Addiction Walker!!! He has a lot of issues with his feet: Plantar Fasciitis, bunion, callouses and these shoes are soooo comfortable and fit so well!!!! He has several different styles of Brooks Addiction and they are the only shoes he will wear!
