Customer Reviews Brooks Addiction™ Walker

Not the prettiest shoes - but for those with ankle and foot problems - these are a dream. They offer great support and needed comfort that allows one to be much more mobile for longer periods of time.

These fit and feel great. Plenty of support and shock absorption. I wear them all day at work and they feel great. My heel pain hasn't surfaced. They feel sturdy when I walk. I would buy these again. the price wasn't too bad.

I found out that I overpronate, and recently experienced knee pain. These were suggested. So far I love them. They fit great and I feel less pain. Time of course will tell. I prefer the all black shoe.

Let me start by saying that I am embarrassed over the number of shoes I have bought and returned to Zappos because of fit and comfort. But Brooks Addiction Walker (white) is a keeper. I am so excited. I'll most likely own all three colors. Normally I wear a 9M, but in some shoes the 9 is a bit too short on my right foot. After a bout of tendonitis, my podiatrist's office suggested that I buy shoes in a Wide width to allow my feet to expand and to fit my new orthodics. So on a hunch I went up a half size and ordered a 9.5 D and they feel wonderful. Even without the orthodics they are very supportive and have a nice arch support. Being wide, they don't rub my feet or toes. A major plus is they don't slip in the heel even though they are wide. I have worn them for 2 days now with zero problems. I highly recommend Brooks Addiction Walker. And a thousand thank yous to Zappos for free shipping and free returns. Zappos is the best company to do business with.

These shoes are so comfortable right out of the box. They give great stabilization. I have previously worn "rocker" type shoes, but found they put stress on my knees. This is my second pair of Brooks shoes. I also love the Brooks Adrenaline.

Great shoe! First time I have tried the Addiction. It is well named! Comfortable right out of the box. I have worn Spira for years...and the quality has gone down. I'll stick with Addiction from now on.

Love these shoes! Suffering with plantar fasciitis, I'm always looking for good shoes to wear while on my feet all day. I was an avid New Balance fan but others suggested these Brooks Addiction Walkers might be a good alternative. Other than being snug across top for the first few days, I've not had any discomfort. The fit is good, the support is great. I highly recommend these shoes.

These shoes are the'only' shoes I can put on and wear all day at work, with absolutely no discomfort. I'm on my 3rd pair. I will replace with the same shoe again when needed.

Love these shoes. My recent purchase represents my 6th pair (I like to replace every 10 months or so, to keep the excellent support going strong). Because of the firm support and stabilizing factors, I opt not to wear my orthotic (but the shoe readily accommodates it). Comfy, not too hot for summer, and love the go everywhere black. (Cleans up easily with a damp cloth).

Just got these yesterday. I love the clunkiness of them that everyone else seems to not like. They are a very nice, soft leather, and so far they are comfy right out of the box. The only thing I don't like is that they aren't a true white. I think I can live with that. I got my regular size and they fit perfectly.

I have very, very flat feet and pronation is off the charts. These shoes are great! I do use orthotics with them, but the support in keeping my feet, ankles and knees in line is perfect!

I am on my feet all day. I have back issues and these are the best shoes I've found to get me through the day. I've tried many brands over the years and always go back to these. This will be my 3 rd pair. My feet are wide and have a high instep.

My orthotist recommended these shoes as being the best for my feet. I wear a custom insert so the removable liner is a must. Very comfortable shoes. Yes they are tennis shoes...but stylish as tennis shoes can be. I am on my 4th pair and will continue to buy them.

Buying my third pair! Work as a veterinarian with constant up and down from the floor and lots of lifting from the floor. Stand, walk and squat at least 10 hours a day on ceramic tile over concrete. I have worn these with and without orthotics (support is that good). These shoes not only offer excellent support and excellent comfort but do not break down/lose shape the way that shoes with non-leather uppers do (especially valuable if you pronate a lot or put other excess force on your shoes). These last and provide support twice as long as sneakers with "softer" material/mesh uppers do. The soles also hold up very well.

I bought these on recommendation from my podiatrist for a trip to Italy. They look totally frumpy (black was worse) but they felt like putting my feet in a hug. I wore them everywhere. I still wear them and don't care what I look like because they are so comfortable. I'm going to buy a black pair for work this winter (I have a casual job). I even pass up more stylish shoes in my closet to wear these.

These are great shoes! They are perfect for home and travel since they are built like a "tennis shoe" but look much more "stately." They are so comfortable that I can wear them all day and not think about them. (We just returned from a week in NYC, and I wore them all day, every day.)

Wonderful! Please continue to sell my size, color and style. I use orthotics and these shoes are the answer to my prayers. Only shoes I wear! My 5th pair!

I am a pharmacist and work 11 hour shifts totally on my feet. I ordered these in the wide width and they are perfect. My feet and legs aren't bothering me like they had been. They have plenty of extra space. I don't have much of an arch and the support in these works very well for me.

I am so delighted with the Brooks Walkers I ordered. I have put off buying shoes for so long due to foot problems but now I have total comfort. I got a wide in a 9 and they were perfect. I will be ordering more shoes now. Thank you with a smile.

Almost returned these, not too pretty to look at, but once I put then, I couldn't take them off, they were that comfortable and supportive. Keepers for sure!

I ordered these shoes and some Birkenstocks from Zappos, first time I ever placed an order with them. The Brooks walkers are fabulous - great support, great cushion. I have flat feet, have broken my ankles a few times, and really need the support. These were a great choice.

I love these shoes! My foot is narrow and I always have a hard time finding athletic shoes narrow enough for a 6.5 foot...these work beautifully! There is no heel slippage (which I seem to have problems with), so I highly recommend these if you need a narrow sneaker. One caveat...they aren't the most attractive, but I'm willing to overlook that for comfort!

I am in love! I have the Addiction running shoes which I use for walking, but wanted a good walking shoe for casual, non exercise use. These are heavenly! Love the beige (bone) color; a bit more feminine than the black and warmer than the white. The support is great and the leather is soft and supple, even right out of the box.

I read many of the reviews for this shoe before placing my 1st order. Had to exchange 8.5 Reg for 8.5 Wide wide as recommended in the reviews. I live in these fantastic, comfortable shoes and by now have three pair. I have several issues that until now prevented me from walking any significant distance or standing on my feet for very long. These shoes have given me a whole new sense of well being and put me back in the game of "using it or losing it."
