These shoes fit so much smaller then what I wear. So make sure to get a larger size. I will get larger shoes but I could not even get my left foot in the shoe.

The most amazing walking shoe I have ever owned...I do the treadmill about 20-30 minutes every day and walk around a track and these shoes provide excellent support and are very sharp in appearance.

If you have foot issues, give these a try. I bought the 8.5, to accommodate a winter sock and the 2E for ortho innersole and bunion. Spacious toe box is a relief, and heels don't flop if tied snug. Not the most attractive shoe style, but not being in pain is terrific. Once addicted, also bought it in white which I like even better.

These shoes were originally suggested by my podiatrist and I am now on my fifth pair! They are the only shoes that I can wear for a full day in comfort. I highly recommend them.

Very comfortable walking shoe. They really didn't need to be broken in. I was able to walk 3 miles briskly the day after I got them with my orthopedic inserts in them. The size is the same as my New Balance shoes.

I like these shoes very much. The leather is soft, the heel does not slip, and they are available in AA which is hard to find normally. I needed to order a full size up because they ran shorter than my normal size.

I have sensitive feet and low arches. These shoes are well insulated because of the thick sole. With gel inserts that I bought and Thor-Lo socks that I wear, my feet are well supported in these shoes.

A friend had told me about these since I am on my feet all night long. I am now on my third pair. They are really comfortable and my feet do not hurt much anymore.

I have almost flat feet, over pronation, plantar fasciitis, and fibromyalgia. I have worn New Balance for as long as I can remember, but thought that something else might be better. Well, I found my dream sneakers in the Brooks Addiction walker. Much better for my feet and body than New Balance and I do not have to change the insole as it is adequate. Across the top is narrow which is great for me as some of my other sneakers would meet in the middle when tied. They are not very pretty. The sole is wearing very well so far, as I have had mine for about five months. The leather is easy to clean, unlike the nubuck New Balance which is impossible to keep clean in the beige color. Fits my narrow heel perfectly in the medium width. They are on the heavy side. I wish that they had a higher arch. The only problem I have is where the sole wraps up to the toe area in front on one sneaker. It is starting to lift off so I guess will need regluing by a shoemaker. I am very easy on my shoes, so am disappointed with that. I will buy again and highly recommend these to make your feet happy. These are the best sneakers that I have ever owned.

Big and special thanks and a thumbs up for Zappos. I was in the USA on a short business trip and the manufacturer of the item goofed up on my order and left me in a difficult position. I was saved by Zappos thanks to their very friendly web shopping process and very constructive and positive attitude regarding payments. Zappos delivered punctually this not very commonly found item in the very short promised time to my hotel.

A great shoe! I am on my feet all day at work and these shoes are the best! Plus, they are slip resistant, which is a must in my job!

I heard about how good Zappos is from a friend. I must have narrow shoes and they are disappearing like snow in July! My Brooks Addiction Walkers are much cheaper here than Foot Solutions. I am glad to still be able to get them at a more reasonable price. I wear custom orthodics so I don't know about the arch support. It should be really good. Thanks.

I love these sneakers! I did have to send the first pair back because they were bigger in size than I thought . I have to get a 7.5 instead of an 8 but once I did they fit great. Very comfortable.

These shoes arrived quickly (Thanks Zappos!) but due to edema issues my mother found them tight. They were well constructed and she stated they were not heavy as I had read in a previous comment. Just had to return due to tightness due to swelling in my mother's feet. The size 10 (my mother's normal size) was too short (we ordered the 10 & 10 1/2) the 10 1/2 was a good length - so based on this I would state that the shoes run a little short.

This is a great shoe. I have had about 10 pairs over the past several years and don't even try other shoes. I use this shoe for walking and doing aerobics. It holds my feet in place comfortably. I have very bad feet, have had several surgeries on my feet. And this shoe is the best. I recommend it highly.

These are wonderful. I have planter faciatis and work on my feet 8-10 hours. My podiatrist told me to get these. That was 4 years ago & several pair later. Awesome support. My feet don't hurt anymore!

Buy them! I bought the white - hate to take them off. I wear them with a thin sock - I don't need a walking sock the extra padding at the heel wasn't necessary.

I LOVE these sneakers! They are true to size, have the back heel support that I need, plenty of toe room without looking huge,
excellent quality leather and workmanship, accommodates my orthodics without decreasing the size, and the grip of the sole is very strong. I am not afraid of slipping. Great styling so that they don't look bulky or huge.

I am staying with Brooks. The other popular brand is NEVER true to size and doesnt have the quality workmanship of these sneakers.

These shoes fit really really well for not having tried them on. They are "snug" however, not tight and they give me great arch support. I walk a couple miles every morning and am in my mid seventies. I definitely recommend them and they are just what I was hoping to purchase!

I struggled to find a good walking shoe because of foot reconstruction and hip replacement. These shoes are terrific. I have experienced much less impact on my knees and hip when walking.

After recovering from a broken leg, I have found that this shoe, and this shoe only, offers the complete support I need to shop, to travel. And to walk comparatively pain free. I have the shoe in beige and black. Isn't it possible to make this shoe with some style?
