Customer Reviews Brooks Addiction™ Walker

Very comfortable and great fit. Needed no “breaking in”.

I love these shoes. Have had to wear them for years just due to foot problems and each time they are an exact fit. Great quality. Lasts a long time.

Perfect for me! I had a stress fracture to deal with on 7 day vacation. Stability and support were enough not to have to wear the orthopedic fracture shoe. I’m wearing them every day.

I have been wearing this Shoe for years ,its a great shoe and always fits perfectly.

I've been having foot pain for 3 months and finally consulted a podiatrist. She said I have bunions and degenerative arthritis in my big toes. She recommended I try Brooks shoes for my daily walks, and she was right on! The shoes fit like a cocoon! Because my left big toe is swollen and very painful, I did use a shoe stretcher for 24 hours to stretch that particular area a little, which helped tremendously. The problem was my toe, not the shoe! This is a great pair of shoes, and when fall comes, I plan to order them in black, also.

I have 2 pairs of these shoes with the velcro closure but they only come in white and black so I got this style with the tie in the bone. I got my usual size I wear in my other Brooks shoes, but they were a half size too small. So I returned them for the next half size up. I wear orthotics so I can't really comment on the arch support, but the width is good. I am not steady on my feet so I have to be really careful about the sole of a shoe. This one is fantastic. I have found that they are non slip on floors and carpets. I am very pleased with them.

This is the shoe my pediatrist recommends. It has a footbed that removes so that I can add my orthotics.

My podiatrist recommended these for work after I had severe PF. Bought my first pair & pain was gone!! That was about 6 years ago- I buy a new pair every 9 months or so. Not the cutest- but pain free feet is awesome!!!

Felt so comfortable from the first moment I put the shoes on. Great arch support and feels great on your feet all day. I need a wide for one of my left foot, which can cause an issue (sometimes) for the right. No issues here. Highly recommend these shoes!

I am a long distance walker and this is the best shoe I have found. I've just purchased my 4th pair. I have a narrow foot and this fits me perfectly.

GREAT shoe. Sturdy and Comfortable! This is my third pair.

Very comfy shoe! Great for my bunions...recommended by my podiatrist. Thank you ,ZAPPOS for such a wonderful return and shipping policy!!! And your customer service is MOST EXCELLENT!!!!

Great, 'sturdy' shoe for walking.

I have "Fred Flintstone" feet -- big, kinda square, flat, AND recently had bunion surgery. I bought these shoes after my sister, who is a physical therapist, recommended that I try Brooks shoes for getting back on my feet and getting back to walking. I've been wearing them almost non-stop since they arrived and YES, these shoes live up to the hype you are reading in these reviews. As soon as I got them on, my feet felt great and I was able to walk three miles with no problem. I will order these shoes again. Good investment.

I really wanted to like these shoes and tried them on at various different times of day, hoping the length would feel better. I tried with regular socks and with thinner socks and no go. AAARGH! Sadly, I’m returning. I wear an 8-1/2 in ASICS and an 8 in regular shoes. Narrow heel...these fit in every way but length. :-(

Wearing for years the best would love more colors

Best shoes I’ve ever worn!

r This shoe is amazing! It is the most supportive shoe I ever tried. I couldn’t pronate if I wanted to! I also like the differential (slope) to give the heel a break. It’s far from being a loose, slipper type shoe, though, for home. It’s for those who need a ton of support all day long. I placed my large, high orthotics and they fit perfectly with still lots of toe room. I ordered a 10.5 narrow and they fit perfectly. I used to wear a narrow in most shoes because of my narrow heels but now with bunions I don't anymore t shoes while in this one the narrow still gave ample space. Medium width would be too wide in my case although I now wear a medium in new balance or brooks adrenaline sneakers. I am returning these shoes because I was looking mostly at summer and these are thick and sturdy (but light). I don’t need that much support at home or work. I will consider reordering these later maybe for winter in black. Not crazy about the taupe color.

This shoe is a lifesaver. I have a very narrow foot with fallen arches. This shoe is narrow when it says narrow. I actually don't have to pull the l aces all the way to hold my foot tight. The support is adequate. The toe box is roomy too - plenty of room for my big toes that have a tendency to get squished and hurt. I have been looking all over for shoes with this amount of support and comfort.

I have used and enjoyed this shoe for many years. It is comfortable and does a good job accommodating my bunion. It is the only sneaker I buy and when one pair wears out I buy a new one.

I ordered this shoe in addition to some of the narrow sized similar New Balance shoes. This shoe was perfect in every way, and I am glad that it is not white. The New Balance shoes were nice but the width was not narrow enough. I have reviewed them separately.

My feet feel good in this shoe

I loved the shoe and it fit one foot but not the other. I cannot say it was the shoe, I have one foot with a bunion and it may have been the reason why. I was afraid to try a bigger size and then have to send them back. Will have to go to my tried and true shoe and not try something new. Love dealing with Zappo's and their free return. Received a email today saying they received the return and the credit will be in 7 to 10 days, according the my credit card. You cannot ask for anything more than that.

I decided I didn't like the large sole on the shoe. With summer here and wearing shorts, these shoes looked clunky.

i am a huge walker. slipped these on and found them extremely comfortable. maybe slightly heavier than other shoes out there. bought this pair to wear on treadmill. started wakening and did not like the way they felt on the tread. it almost seemed slippery. i didn't risk a wipeout so took them off and back they went. when i need a pair for outside i may try these again!
