I have VERY narrow feet and I have to wear orthotics. These shoes are the best fit I have been able to find. I walk a great deal and I LOVE these shoes especially the vertical pattern of the sole (which my
podiatrist tells me is the best for my feet). Please do not change the design!! I wear them year round@nd buy a black and a white pair each year.

I love my Addiction Walkers!! They are comfy for walking or standing all day! They however are not Slip Resistant as advertised. Love the support!

I have worn Brooks Addiction 11, 12, 13 and other Addiction styles for many years, and I love how they fit. I was concerned about the walker because they are not as flexible as the other styles. It took only 2 days for them to feel just as good as the others I have worn. I absolutely love the way they fit and feel, and I will continue to purchase Brooks shoes.

Heavier than my other Brooks but they were runner shoes.
Wishing for a great walking shoe that looks feminine

The Brooks brand was recommended by a physical therapist after I was treated for Achilles tendinitis. I selected this style, not because I am a runner but as a wholesome looking shoe. It has been my favorite, go-to shoe, especially for everyday use and taking walks. I wear an arch support insert for added support but even without the arch insert, the shoes still support my feet. The shoes do not crowd my feet and can be worn for lengths of time. A financial investment but worth the money.

I absolutely love this style because I am so happy you all came up with this. I do not run, I walk and if it starts to rain, my feet do not get wet. This is my seventh pair of Brooks and I will not purchases anything but Brooks. I started having problems with my left knee and went to the knee specialist and he sent me to therapy. The therapist said I did not need therapy and to get me some Brooks and my knee never hurt again and this was four years ago. So my advice get you all some Brooks. Please make more in leather; Thanks!

Comfortably as heaven on my feet. Prescribed by my surgeon in 2005. A new pair every year is expensive but I need the whole foot support.
I just had to get used to feeling like Frankenstein in my size 11s.

It's a great shoe, but I made the mistake of not getting wide so I have to keep adjusting the width or it's too uncomfortable. Purchased online, wish I had tried them on first. I need them for my school so I couldn't return them and wait for other ones.

Like the shoe very much. Feels good on but, think I need half size larger. Had to return, Can’t wait for it to be back in stock.

I don't know what Brooks does to make these shoes the perfect fit and construction for my feet, knees and back. I have spent I-don't-want-to- admit-how-much money searching for (and returning - bless you, Zappos) shoes to find the perfect pair. NOTHING compares to these for walking comfort (how I wish they looked a bit more stylish - I would never take them off!). I wear a 7N or 7.5N - heels and mid-foot are very narrow, but I now have bunions that require me to have width where those horrible bumps are. I've found that a stiffer shoe overall is great for me. I wear orthotics to correct a knee problem. Every other shoe has been some kind of compromise. I wear these in a 7.5 N and pray that Brooks stops making these. My feet feel fantastic - my gait is better than it has ever been in them. I wish every manufacturer made walking shoes like this for those of us who overpronate.

Other than having to wait months for Zappos to get my size in stock, I am very pleased with these shoes. I have worn Brooks Addiction Walkers for about 15 years after my Podiatrist recommended them. They give my foot excellent support and are nice looking.

Wanted a cooler weather shoe for lots of walking and this fits the bill, because it does not have mesh in the uppers. I like Brooks for the stability and these are certainly in that category. Decent cushioning. The shoelaces could be a little bit longer, but great shoe.

Definitely worth the money for comfort. I am on my feet 12-13hrs straight and I have been wearing this same pair for a year and a half now. I also have foot issues and I highly recommend this pair!

This is my second pair. They have more support than any shoe I have found. They are all black so I can wear them to work with dress pants. They are also warm so I can wear them in the winter. Great shoe for older people who need support.

The shoes fit pretty good right out of the box with plenty of room in the toe box area but they seemed to be a little floppy at the back of my foot. I don’t like having them tight across the top of my feet and in order to keep my heel from slipping I have to pull the laces tight. I’m hoping they will be a little more comfortable after the break in stage. They do offer good support for my feet which I need so that’s a good thing. I’m not a fan of the plain style but I’m looking for comfort so they will do if they keep my feet from hurting. I will probably order these again.

Size and fit....excellent!! I ordered a Wide width to accomodate my custom orthotic and the fact that I am on my feet between 8-12 hours a day. No breaking in period required...My feet feel awesom from the start of the day until the end. I have worn Spira, New Balance, SAS, Earth and I can honestly say these shoes have jumped to the top of my favorites list!!

Perfect support shoe. Zappos is the best! I tried many different styles to find the right shoe. Might not be the prettiest but I can walk. Thank you!
