Was having major foot problems and found out it was the shoes I previously wore. Got these, inserted a pair of Super Feet and voila! My foot problems have disappeared! Great walking shoes!

I compared other products and selected the Brooks Addiction Walker. Several months of wear have proven that my choice was a good one. The shoe is well cushioned, has a good arch support (eliminating my usual insert) and has a very solid feel--like the shoe is supporting you. I found that a half size larger gave me the best fit and Zappos provided it for me on exchange

I bought these shoes because I needed a brown sneaker type for work (I work at a luxury hotel doing room service). After 3 months, these babies are still performing. Without all the bells and whistles, air this, gel that, these shoes are just comfy, fit well and give you just the right amount of support. I spend a lot of time on my feet at work and having comfortable shoes is a must. I would recommend them. Also, they look more like a hiker/sneaker type hybrid than the picture gives it credit for. By no means would it pass for a dress shoe in my opinion.

I have ordered Brooks shoes from Zappos on 4 separate occasions and every time my order is filled quickly and efficiently...and my shoes arrived by UPS the next day! I'm always amazed by this plus the shipping is free! I love using Zappos. Thank you!

My husband had a hip replacement last year and his feet changed sizes, so he was delighted to get his size, and they fit perfectly, and even if they did not we do not worry about it because Zappos has a reputation for customer service. Thanks.

These shoes deserve a top rating: great fit and comfort and a very decent look for a moderately priced shoe. As someone with a narrow foot (B width, AA heel) and a very long arch, I have recently been doing a lot of research and testing of such narrow shoes as are available on the market. The properly fitted shoe can do a lot to correct minor malformations caused by wearing an ill-fitting shoe that just happened to be easier to find than the right shoe. I am always happy to find a great shoemaker like Brooks who still does narrow widths. So far, the walking is very comfortable, but I will do a second review after I had time to see how they wear. Note that the Brooks shoes I have bought (the Addiction and the Glycerin running shoe) have consistently run a full size small, so I recommend you order a full size larger, especially if you want the traditional thumb's width at the end of your big toe. I have tried on these Brooks shoes, in various sizes, in various stores in the US, France, and Switzerland as well as from Zappos, and this mislabeling of the length (not the width) is consistent. However, when you get the size right (worth the effort) you have a great shoe here.

Great shoe. Bought a pair for daughter and husband but need to exchange both because they were to narrow. Outstanding services as always. Exchanging for wider size.

I have been looking for years for a shoe that feels as good as this one does. I am on my feet all day long and these shoes are wonderful.

Spent a week in Chicago with my girlfriend walking all over town. Probably put a good 3 miles or so on these shoes. They were comfortable well made shoes that I would buy again.

This is my second pair. I tried a less expensive shoe between and they did not give the support I need. Great shoes in cool weather, a little warm in the Texas summer, but I wear them year round.

Awesome shoes! I had another pair of Brooks that were fantastic, so I ordered these for work. I have bad knees and a bad back and these shoes helped tremendously! Fit and finish are great as well.

At age 62, I have very tender feet. These are the best "walking" shoes I have found to date. This particular color works well for most anything other than a real "dress up" occasion. Love 'em!

I bought these shoes for my husband who is hard to fit. He tells me they are like walking on a cloud. They are light and comfortable. I got the brown and black ones. Can be worn for casual dress.

The shoes are absolutely great and the price was very competitive. And as always Zappos service is just what a person nowadays doesn't expect. Their service is stupendous.

Zappos is simply the best! They have a great selection in all brands and hard to find sizes that I wear. I could not believe how fast my new shoes arrived and with out any charges. The Brooks Addiction 8 feel awesome and my feet no longer tired at the end of the day. They have great style and comfort. I look forward to coming back and shopping again. Thanks Zappos.

The Brooks Addiction Walker is one of the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. I have very particular needs for shoes, and the Addiction Walker looks more dressy than a casual tennis shoe while still helping with my over-pronation issues that led to constant rolling ankles. No more with these! Try the Beast as well for even more protection in that regard, though quite a bit less dressy looking.

I can buy these shoes several places locally. In fact, Brooks, the company that makes them, is located about 7 miles from my house. But I still prefer to buy from Zappos. The great usability of the website and the extreme speed of service is too good to pass up. About the shoes: I buy Brooks walkers because I'm very flat-footed and need a "motion control" shoe. The Brooks are great, and can pass for a casual, business shoe. I never used to like the way the rubber sole would wrap up in front of the toe, especially since it would come un-bonded at the top edge and look bad. The design has been changed now for the better. The wrapped area up front is much lower profile and seems to be bonded better.

I\'ve had surgery on both feet and suffer from chronic heel pain. I wear custom orthotics. I\'ve tried many many shoes and these are the best for my feet. They are by far the most comfortable shoes I\'ve found. My only complain is they are not good on slick surfaces. During the winter here in Chicago when there is snow and ice I have to wear something else or wear overshoes. Other than that I have no complaints about these shoes. This is my second pair in brown. I wore the first pair for several years and wore them out. I also own a pair in black.

I\'ve bought several pairs. Very good fit for me, but that depends on your foot. \r\n Zappos service is excellent. They sent this item overnight at the standard free shipping rate. I couldn\'t believe it was there on my doorstep Thursday, after ordering late Wednesday night. Returns are easy, too.

Wore every other day for 3 weeks while touring in Europe. Very comfortable and supportive. When brand new were slippery on wet surfaces; this diminished when broken in.
