I put my own insert into these shoes and they were very comfortable. They provide a lot of support. They are made of leather. Unfortunately, they are so boxy looking I decided to return them.

Wear these standing on a concrete shop floor for 10 hours a day. Great support for my feet and legs.

Fit was great for me. Wore these immediately for the whole morning. Podiatrist suggested this brand and these happened to be already in my favorites. Been looking at the “Dad Shoes” the designer sites have been touting but they aren’t comfortable despite high prices. Fortunately these these fit that trend. I can wear them with or without my orthotics. I have foot issues and am also experiencing a knee problem so stability is important for me. Lately, almost every shoe I’ve gotten is loose on the heel, but that is not the case here. These shoes cover all of my high needs. I am ecstatic! So much so that I plan to get my young adult daughter a pair for her workouts.

Because I have wide feet, I usually order a half size bigger to add some width. With this shoe I returned the half size bigger as it was too big. I like the comfort, the looks, and the support I get for my arches. I would reccommend this shoe.

I get these Brooks sneakers for my elderly mom. Her various medical conditions (not diabetes) cause her foot numbness, pain, and swelling. She walks with a rollator. Of all the many brands she's tried so far, these shoes give her the best stability and comfort. And she can swap out the footbed for an orthotic. If she takes a fall, we know it's not because of the shoes. They're not gorgeous but she ends up wearing them for most occasions because they're just the best.

These shoes are super comfortable! I love how they hug my feet and feel like I'm walking/standing on cushions.

Have been wearing this shoe for about 16 years after orthopedic physician advised this would be a good shoe for me due to overpronating.

I got a new pair and they have gone down in price what a change for the good. I have gotten these shoes before and they fit real well. I have gotten the black pair as well as the white pair in the Brooks addiction Walker v strap. I just wish the bone was also in v strap because I would get it. I am wondering was why new balance can make it in v strap form but Brooks can't make it yet for some unexplained reason.

Although these are not exactly the most stylish of shoes, I have been wearing them for several years and they support my foot really well..I can't wear anything else with my WW (double wide width) and I am very happy with this shoe!!!

These shoes are absolutely the most comfortable shoe I can remember wearing. They give me great support and they fit perfectly. I cannot speak about the arch support, as I wear custom orthotics, but overall I would recommend these shoes.They seem to be very well made; (might just beat New Balance in that feature). They likely are the ugliest shoe, but who cares, with all the other features. They were a perfect fit, they lace up just right and you feel like you are being well supported. The price is a bargain; I would rather pay this price for these great shoes than less and not have a good supporting walking shoe. I definitely will buy another pair later on. I am well pleased and look forward to walking comfort.

Perfect foot for my flat feet. This is my 3rd pair in 3 years. I wear them to walk a mile a day and to work out at the gym 3 times a week. I wear them around the house most days. They last one year of wearing them daily. Leather uppers allow the foot to breath, so they are not hot in the summer. Perfect for the winter. They keep my feet dry and warm. Never stop making them.

I am a returning customer for the Addiction Walker. They were recommended by my podiatrist after my plantar fasciitis surgery. I ordered a pair for my aunt. She loved hers, too.

True to size, unlike other Brooks styles (or so many other brands as well) which typically need one to size up a half or full size. No need to guess your size with these! Very comfortable right out of the box. Leather is soft with little need for 'breaking in'. Have shopped around for less expensive walking shoes and come back to these. Purchased a back-up pair in case they're discontinued, I like them that much

I wear 11.5 narrow - a very difficult size to find. I often order 12 narrow in a walking shoe, which is the size I have of this shoe (in the beige color). The fit is perfect with my orthotic inserts and I am thrilled. I even ordered a second pair.

This is my second pair of Brooks shoes. I came back after trying a different, more expensive shoe. It didn't last and did not give me the support I needed. I don't think I'll make that mistake again.

Love these shoes...constantly ordering them for my plantar fasciitis arthritic feet. Perfect support when taking out inserts and putting orthotics in! Just wish they lasted longer. Had part of the leather chip off on the last pair....all the others were fine!

It is very challenging to find narrow shoes that meet my uniform requirements. I now own a couple pair of these. They are holding up great, clean easily and are actually, TRULY narrow (if you order narrow.) So happy with this product.

I have been wearing Brooks Addiction Walkers for the past few years on the recommendation of my podiatrist. I stand all day running a machine and these help give my ankles some stability. They are also a great for walking as I don't have to worry about turning (spraining) my ankles on uneven ground or sidewalks. They are not the prettiest or most stylish, but for those with foot problems I would recommend these.

I have worn these shoes for a number of years. As a special education teacher, I am on my feet throughout the day. I usually wear them for two years, then replace. My old pair becomes my yard work pair of shoes. I retired in December 2017. I was recalled to work in November 2018 as an emergency substitute. That job has morphed into long-term. My feet are older, and now I like to supplement my shoes with the addition of a cushioned insole. I never needed that before. These shoes deliver support and stability for my rigorous work day.
