Customer Reviews Brooks Addiction™ Walker

I have bought so many shoes for two years trying to be comfortable. Most are at Goodwill. I awoke this am with hip pain and decided to wear my new Brooks that I got for walking on cobblestones in Prague. Well - what a surprise - they are comfortable and the hip pain is much less. I had bought a pair of Prophet that cramped my toes, read a comment on your review page, and returned the New Balance and ordered Brooks that arrived the next day! I am heavy and need this type of shoe to support my hips. Thanks.

These shoes felt great right out of the box. I wear size 8 or 8.5M in footwear, and 8.5M fit just fine. They are snug without being tight, and the toe box is especially comfortable. I overpronate, and I find the motion control feature of these shoes really works well to steer my feet in a straight line. The sole is sturdy and gives excellent support. The look is clunky, but the practicality of this style can't be beat. I'm going to have more of these!

Pretty good shoes. I needed them for work (no slip and black) and I over pronate so they fit the bill. Thick soles so they are pretty comfortable. I stand all day. I wear pants with them, which is good because they are pretty ugly.

These are great shoes if you have foot problems. I have big toe arthritis and tarsal tunnel and the beginnings of bunions. I wear orthotics and have a really hard time finding shoes that I can use for every day shoes. You have to get over the look although I do not think that they look really orthotic anymore! They are very comfortable and I do hope that Brooks does not change the shoes. They are extremely hard to find shoes that fit my feet. I have them in bone and black. I would not be able to walk without them. Please keep them in stock, Zappos!

Kind of clunky and kind of heavy, but overall provides great support. I wanted a shoe other than my flashy sneakers that I could wear at work. I don't wear these shoes when walking for exercise, but they are fine for walking shorter distances between buildings at work. Mostly I like them because when I am teaching I am on my feet for 3-4 hours at a time and when I wear these shoes I do not have any foot pain. Can use custom orthotics in this shoe and they provide good support for pronation. I have a narrow heel and a wide foot, and I do not have heel slippage when wearing these shoes. If looking for good support I recommend these shoes. I just wish they had a bit more style and were not so clunky looking. However, when you don't have great feet, you are bit limited in stylish shoes.

I haven't had these shoes very long but I do like them they are comfortable. I did order them a half of size bigger because of a review I read and I am glad I did.

These are the best and most comfortable shoes I have ever owned! Felt comfortable from the first wearing. I love them!

I am a postal worker and this is my favorite shoe. I have them in other, cuter colors to wear to the gym. They are the best shoes ever!

Perfect for my foot - 10.5 and narrow. Very comfortable, good arch support. I have been looking for months for a pair of black shoes for my hard to fit foot and solid instead of mesh fabric.

I bought this pair of Brooks to wear with business clothing. I want to look professional but cannot tolerate even the smallest of heels for any period of time due to knee issues compounded by arthritis. These shoes are true to all the great features of other Brooks shoes I've worn and this black pair of Addiction are very inconspicuous in terms of being a "sneaker". They are extremely comfortable and look like a standard business shoe and I wear them daily.

Great support for troubled feet! I find very few brands that accommodate my bunions and low arches. So far these are working great.

I used to wear Reebok walkers until I got orthotics, wow, did I need to switch shoes! The Brooks walkers have a flat foot bed which is perfect for my inserts! I walk my dog twice daily, thank God for my comfy shoes! Zappos has the absolute best customer service, I get my order in a few days and returns are just as easy!

Absolutely the best pair of sneakers I have ever bought! I just wore them yesterday to play golf and I could have kept them on all day! (With my golf shoes I can't wait to get them OFF!).

I have worn Brooks shoes for several years. Recently I tried a pair of New Balance wide and was surprised at how fast they wore out. I also had to wear Dr. Scholls arch supports because they didn't have much support. I now wear Brooks wide sizes for walking and my feet have never felt so good in an athletic shoe. Zappos had this current model for less and I couldn't pass it up. The checkout was easy and I got them very soon.

I love these shoes! They were comfortable to me the very first time I tried them on. I have just bought my fourth pair. The only drawback with my recent purchase is that the shoestrings do not seem to be as long as the previous ones.

I liked these so well, I bought another pair in a second color. I wish they came in brown. Wearing a 9.5 AA with custom orthotics and having an arthritic big toe, finding comfortable, supportive shoes is not easy for me.

One of the few shoes that comes in an 11-1/2 WW. Fits perfectly. Very comfortable for walking long distances. Sole is almost an inch thick. Not the most lovely of shoes but they do the trick.

I got these for my sister in law who lives in Australia and works as an er nurse. She's had a pair that has lasted over 5 years that she wanted to replace because they are so comfortable and durable. They cost twice as much in Australia so she was quite happy with the price tag and quick Zappos service while she was here visiting.

Ordered shoes for my granddaughter. Needed a half size larger, got online at Zappos. It was so easy to change. She received her new shoes before we could get the old pair sent back. I love Zappos; you will too.

I am on my feet all day waitressing. I am standing on my feet all day. These are by far the most comfortable shoes. My back does not hurt anymore and my legs don't feel tired. I have tried other brands and have had problems. These are the only shoes I will buy in the future for my line of work.

Got these for my 81 year old mom and they are fantastic! She was have trouble with over pronation which led to hip and back pain. These shoes helped so much and she is no longer in pain. I would highly recommend these shoes to anyone who needs a good, supportive, stable walking shoe, because these shoes are all these things. Also, they are no more bulky than any other cross training or walking sneaker. My mom loves them!

Great shoes for a very fair price. I stand on my feet most of the day and walk a lot. These Brook are perfect. My feet don't hurt. They a comfortable and good quality.

Pleasantly surprised about the comfort and fit of this shoe...relied on other reviews to try it out. Thought I'd be disappointed when first put them on and they felt a little stiffer than my New Balance usually do when they're new - but within minutes could tell that these were even more comfortable than my old standby's and they fit my feet better too! Wish they were cheaper.

Great shoes! Due to orthopedic problems these shoes were recommended by a doctor. They are the only shoes I wear. Comfortable and supportive.

Let me begin by saying I needed a good walking shoe for work. I work in a busy operating room and it is usual for me to walk 5 miles a day. I have the typical nurses feet- achy, calluses...initially I was put off by the stiffness of these shoes. But I put them on and wore them out the box for a typical 10 hour day! No breaking in period. My feet felt great! Was I ever surprised! And I have worn them every day since. No pinching, no sore spots, just a great shoe. I am delighted! They fit well, true to size, there is plenty of room in the "toe box" and I can walk forever in them. Height recommend them to someone that needs a good shoe for support and for long hours of wear at one time.
