Customer Reviews Brooks Addiction™ Walker

I have been wearing the Brooks Addiction for several years now and do not buy any other shoe because I need a shoe that supports my feet and ankles and this shoe meets my health needs perfectly. I have tried other brands but none have matched the Brooks Addiction for me.

Best working shoes. Last longer.

I bought these when recommended for plantar fasciitis. I had tried various "inserts" but never liked them. These shoes were comfortable and helped my PF from day one. I can wear them all day. I was doing yard chores in them, so I ordered a second pair to keep nice for my "Sunday go to meeting" pair.

I have very flat feet and I found these shoes offer excellent support.

I was having major heel pain and feared the dreaded planter fasciitis was upon me. I had started a one-mile per day walking regimen but was doing it in my street shoes. So a friend suggested these along with Happy Feet insoles. I did both and am happy to report that my heel pain is going away (still walking). These shoes won't win any style awards but they are perfect for walking and appear to be resolving my planter fasciitis issue (yes!). I do recommend them (along with insoles).

I just received them and have not walked more than around the house. They feel great. I wanted to note that these are the only walking or running shoes that feel fine as I sit around the house and work at my desk. For 35 years I have never been able to leave my running or walking shoes on while I just sat around without the shoes quickly beginning to feel very uncomfortable. Note I had to return the medium with for wide in order to have them fit as I needed. I have her had to size up in width. I am guessing that you'll be happy with one-half size up in length and in width,

Product description was accurate. I have some arthritis in my toes and the soft footbed eases the arthritic pain and allows me to walk further and longer. Will be getting a pair for my wife for her arthritis as well. This is my second pair of Brooks shoes. I wish I had found out about Brooks years ago.

First time buying Brooks, very happy with them. Fit better than my Merrill's

This recent purchase of Brooks addiction walker is as excellent as the many I have been getting from Zappos for years. This is the only shoe I wear. I have one in brown and many in white. They always feel great and last a long time.

Good overall shoe with excellent foot realignment. Everyday wear to test out the brand durability left me wanting another pair. Failure points were at the top rear of shoe (heel insert contact) and outer edge sole mounting. Recommend replacing every four to five months if using for daily wear. My perceived value matches the current price point.

i am old, obese and flat-footed. i need support and cushion. these are great!

I wear brooks addiction 12 sneaker for work and casual. I walk on average 5 miles a day on concrete, great support , your shin and feet will love you for making the best choice for them.

Very comfortable. My husband has worn them into the ground.

I can't say enough good things about this shoe. I ordered it a half size larger than my regular size and it fit perfectly. The most comfortable shoe I've worn in years. The nubuck goes with jeans or with casual slacks. If you're looking for a quality and comfortable shoe, this is it. Give it a try!

I have been wearing my Brooks Addiction Walker's for for several months. I absolutely love the style, comfort, amazing support these shoes provide!! I tried New Balance and Nike and for anyone with overpronation issues, you cannot beat what these sneakers offer

I highly recommend this shoe. I work in a hospital and walk on hard floors all day long. Before I got this shoe my feet would hurt so bad when I got home and stepped out of my car. Since I tried this shoe they never hurt until I get about 600 miles on them. I walk 50 miles a week according to my Fitbit which gives me a 3 month life with these shoes. It seems expensive but if you divide it out it’s a $1.33 a day if you walk as much as I do. Best money I’ve ever spent. I got the white ones and they wipe right off if I get anything on them. I get the 11 2E and weight 230lb. Do yourself a favor and invest in some quality shoes. One tip I’ve learned is tie and untie when putting on and off. Don’t slide them on while tied or you will end up with a hole in the back.

My husband has flat feet and a Morton neuroma and these shoes make all the difference in the world in his feet. He LOVES them. I order about four pairs a year for him because he has stopped wearing almost every other brand/type. these feel so good to him. He wears them to work, for play, when they are appropriate and when they are not. IF Brooks planned to stop making THESE shoes, I would have to order 40 or so pairs so he would always have them. thanks, Brooks and Zappos!

Love the snug fit and great support. Been wearing them everyday/all day for about a week and they are most comfortable. They actually make me want to walk.

I have real problems finding shoes that are comfortable. I'm 67 and have gone through a lot of brands trying to find something that worked. My feet would hurt all the time and I gave up walking for fun. I was using New Balance 4E for several years, and tried a pair of the white Brooks this past summer and they were great. I'm sticking with these. Different colors for different seasons. I wish they had a little more style. These are pretty basic, but they are very comfortable.

Great support and true to size! Good shoe for those on their feet a lot.

I'm writting a review on behalf of my husband who has plantar fasciitis and has a high arch with extra wide feet. Comfortable shoes are a hard thing to find and in his size they're pretty much non existent in stores. I love my brooks for running and love the support they have so i decided to search on zappos for his size 8 4E. I was surprised brooks made a shoe that was in his size and even more pleasantly surprised that they sold shoes that were for problem feet. He loves them! His pain is reduced to almost nothing and he doesnt even need his arch supports. That hasn't happened in any shoe before. It's worth every penny and his feet are happy

These are all I wear!

Bought these for my boyfriend he is on his feet all day loves them he used to wear Clarke shoes these sneakers are much more comfortable just bought them in white for everyday wear

Arrived today and could not be happier. Looks just like the pics on the web page, arrived promptly, perfect fit both length and width. Reviews/comments on your site, coupled with my past purchase of a Brooks shoe led me to take the ½ size larger (12 vs 11.5) and the shoes fit just right. Arch support is good. Comfort overall is good. Looks good. Thank you.

The combination of these shoes and Aetrix orthotics are the only relief I have found for my poor flat feet. They're great. I only wish they came in grey. I would probably get two pairs.
