One of the best shoes I have ever purchased. Fit perfectly. Wish the soles were’t so thick. A very comfortable shoe.

I bought 1/2 inch larger because width wasn't right....now it's perfect. I will buy a spare set...I have trouble finding comfortable shoes...my friend's partner is a Podiatrist/Surgeon and she recommended this brand.

I love these shoes! I have very narrow, flat and pronated feet. These shoes give me great support, much better than the Brooks GTS running shoes that I had been using for walking. And I wouldn't say they are great style, but they are so much better than running shoes for going with regular clothes that would be worn on the street. In fact, I'm taking them on a walking trip to Paris in a couple of weeks.

I am 6'3" tall with a very painful left foot. These shoes are the best I have ever had and I am pain free when walking in them

My husband is normally a 12M and has an average arch. Based on the reviews of others we ordered a 12.5 wide, and they worked out perfectly. He commutes 4.5 hours each day of which 1 hour is spent beating the pavement in the city. He reports that shoe is sturdy, reducing any tendency to roll. The Nubuck is versatile for weekends and his semi-casual office. I'm considering this shoe a "win". All complaints of aching feet and knees are gone and seriously considering a pair in white to replace his expensive ($170.00) "just do it" sneakers. Wish they were a little more attractive looking, but trade-off for all day comfort was worth it.

Ran a little small but ordering a half size up fixed that! Husband said they are very comfortable and they stopped his ankle pain on the 5+ mile walks.

I love these Addiction Walkers!! I have overpronation and these are the best sneakers I have ever owned that truly have helped me correct this problem. I also have osteoarthritis in my feet, so the wide size really helps make the shoe even more comfortable. You can't go wrong with these sneakers. I would like to see more colors like a shade of gray.

I bought a pair a couple of years ago in 'brown nubuck' and I found them to be extremely comfortable. I wore them all the time. But they started to tear and the stitching was coming apart which disappointed me. But I liked them so much I just bought another pair in leather hoping they will last longer. But they REALLY are comfortable and fit well. I love them.

I typically wear a 12 D, but had to exchange them for a 12.5 D and they fit great. I little tough to put on, but the advantage is great upper support.

Originally ordered a 12 D/M (what I typically wear), those were about a half size too small. Contacted Zappos and the rep was very helpful and quickly emailed me a shipping label for my returns, as well as sending me a new pair in 12.5 D/M. Received the larger size the next day via UPS, and they fit great! Thank you Zappos for your quick service!

When I first tried them on, I was very relieved that they fit perfect. The only thing that could improve is the laces could be longer, and that is not a knock on the sneakers, overall the product is excellent.

This is my third pair of Brooks brown Nubuck shoes. I like the style and fit. I cannot fully judge the arch support since I use orthopedic supports. The last orthopedic support was custom made and it quite long. Normally I would order a half size larger than my foot size (11B) but for the Brooks I ordered size 12B to fit the orthopedic support. The shoes are like any other "sneaker" in that I get about 8-9 months of wear when my knees become sore; then I know it is time to order a new pair of shoes. I am age 66 and the joints are beginning to wear out, so I change shoes fairly often.

This is a great walking shoe! I’ve been wearing New Balance exclusively for perhaps 15 years or more. In the last few years, they’ve changed many of their designs for the worse. After ordering the New Balance MW928v3 and being totally disappointed, I read the reviews of this Brooks Addiction model. The reviews sounded like the New Balance comfort level I was accustomed to. I have a wide, somewhat flat foot. I wear a 9.5 EE. Since some of the reviews of this shoe indicated it ran slightly small, I ordered the 9.5 2E and the 4E to try. The 4E was fine if I loosened the laces a bit. I love this shoe; it’s comfortable right out of the box, and needs very little breaking in. It’s a great walking shoe, and my feet don’t get tired at all. The support is soft, but cloud-like soft, not insufficient-support soft. I’m now a convert to Brooks Addiction!

Already have a pair of Brooks Addiction Walker shoes in Brown Nubuck. They are the most comfortable shoes I've ever had. That's why I ordered the BAW shoes in black leather and they fit perfect and feel great even on first day wear. Will probably order a pair of the BAW shoes in white this summer. Only wish they all came in Nubuck leather like the brown.

I have now purchased my 4th pair of these shoes and as that figure will attest, I am very satisfied with them. They feel good and provide very good support and last a reasonable amount of time. I am retired and live in Florida where dress is casual these are my primary shoes every day. I take exercise walks and am a frequent visitor to Walt Disney World where I walk for hours. Due to the sun, I wear white. Tried black once and the sun turned the shoes into frying pans. If Brooks keeps making this shoe, I will keep buying them.
