Customer Reviews Brooks Addiction™ Walker

I need a lot of support, and these shoes give it to me. I've been wearing them for years. Best part: They have narrow heels, which I definitely need. Zappos gives the best service!

These are so comfortable and supportive of my fallen arches. I love them! I am so glad to have found them. I guess I am "addicted!"

Love these shoes. Have been wearing this model for years. Helps prevent pronation and is comfortable even for the foot with the neuroma. I use orthotics comfortably in these shoes.Thanks, Zappos, for such fast (and free) delivery!

I spent a lot of time researching the best walking shoes for my feet. I was directed to Brooks Addiction and I am extremely satisfied with this shoe! It is one of the best walking shoes I have ever purchased. It is a very stable shoe that fits well, is well-designed for comfort, and is easy to walk and wear without fear of blisters. I am addicted!

I bought these for a trip that required extensive walking in a hot climate and with uneven terrain. They provided the comfort and support I needed. I have narrow feet and appreciated the 2A width. Like most athletic shoes, I found that these required a size larger than normal size for best fit.

Very pleased with these walking shoes. It is very hard to find a women's shoe that is wide enough. The EE width is perfect!

This is the second pair of Brooks Addiction Walker that I bought. Now I have one in white and one in black. They are super comfortable. After reading other reviews, I bought a half size larger that my New Balance shoes and they feel great.

Thanks to the Brooks Addictive Walker, I am a walker again - after ten years of almost giving up. In May, I walked all over Europe, never feeling fatigue, pain or the stones. I felt stable - I climbed over rocks. I have neuropathy and arthritis in my very narrow feet. I say, It's the last and the structure of the Brooks Addictive Walker that makes it a good fit, not just the thick sole. Other shoes offer the illusion of comfort with thick soles, and do work for the more fortunate people, but are a waste of money for the tender difficult foot. Too bad they're so ugly, but I'm so comfortable that I no longer notice.

A great walking shoe! After suffering with plantar fasciitis and bunions, I am extremely careful about what I put on my feet these days. These shoes have good arch support and foot cushioning, as well as a big toe box for comfort. These, like all Brooks shoes, run a half size small, so order the next size up. Also,wear them a few times to loosen their initial stiffness. They will mold around your feet and be excellent shoes!

I love these shoes that are aptly named, "Addiction Walkers." For years, I wore New Balance, but found that my shoe had been discontinued. I've ordered 5-6 pairs of shoes (after carefully reading shoe specs and reviews), but no other brand even came close to the comfort of these shoes. I'm 61, overweight, have large bunions, over pronation and arthritis in my left foot and ankle. The Brooks Addiction Walkers are comfortable with no break in period and give me excellent support and balance. Other than feeling a bit clunky, I love them. I own the bone color and will be ordering my second pair. If you have problems with your feet, try these shoes! Your feet will thank you!

This is the fifth pair of these shoes I have bought over the last many years. They are perfect if you wear orthotics because the Brooks footbed pulls out and your orthotics fit right in. Also, they are available in EE width. These are the most comfortable shoes I own, and the sole lasts a long time. I heartily recommend them.

Brooks Walker fit great. Had to order 2 sizes -- unfamiliar with brand. Best part was Zappos communication -- fantastic! Received e-mail communications on #1 Original Order, #2 on the request to return 1 pair, #3 that the returned pair was received, #4 that my credit would be processed. My credit was processed in one week! That's what I call service!

These shoes were really comfortable. They ran small though. I almost always wear a 7 and I had to move up to a 7.5. The 7.5's felt wonderful. I plan on using them for travel. I'm wearing black pants mainly on the trip so my tennis shoes would work. I needed very comfortable walking shoes. If you are ultra fashion conscious, a little word of warning. These look a little odd because they have such a tall base compared to most shoes but not so bad that I would feel dorky wearing them.

Most comfortable walking shoes I have ever had! I have wide feet and a high arch so these shoes were a perfect match. Arrived at my doorstep a couple of days after I ordered them.

I finally found a shoe that has support for my feet and legs. I do a lot of walking and standing on my job and from the box they worked quite well. They are a little heavy and clunky but overall I am quite satisfied with no more tired feet. I usually get a 1/2 size larger and they worked out quite well for an insert.

These shoes were recommended by my Podiatrist several years ago. I continue to wear this style for my daily walks. I can use my prescription insoles and they give good support. I recommend them if you are a 'walker'.

Most comfortable, supportive sneakers I've ever purchased. Tore my meniscus and needed a stable shoe. However, they are not exceptionally attractive and make my 7.5M feet look very wide and stubby. Must say that the comfort and support trump the looks.

Love these shoes. I can always count on Zappos to have my "hard to find" size. They are always delivered in two days and always satisfactory.

Very nice shoes. I need maximum support with custom made orthotic inserts and these do provide that. Would buy again.

These are the first shoes I've ever bought since I turned 40 that felt good the first time I tried them on. I'm used to having my feet squished even when I order double wides. They feel like heaven! Not only that, they provide such good arch support that I don't have to wear orthotics with them. I need orthotics because my feet pronate but orthotics make your shoes feel tighter and are really uncomfortable when your feet swell. My feet and toes don't get hot and burn anymore either. My only complaint is that they look like old lady shoes. The shoe industry have no mercy on people who wear wide widths. I am going to jazz them up by buying some five foot long hot pink shoe laces.

This is the best Walking shoe I have owned. I am an Esthetician who stands many hours a day and my work day includes loads of walking. I feel this shoe is idea for both walking and standing which is hard to find. The sole is thick and the arch support is perfect.I bought them in white and plan to buy the same shoe in black. I even told my Husband that he should buy a pair for walking. This shoe is a great investment for your feet and for outstanding comfort. I also think this would be a fantastic shoe for travel.

I am preparing to order my umpteenth pair of these shoes. They are very comfortable out of the box but lately I have been disappointed in the quality of the shoe. I don't know if Brooks or the manufacturer changed but the leather stretches out fast and the sole loses support, after about 2 months the shoes or very uncomfortable. I have edema so I can't tie the shoes tighter without causing swelling and pain in my ankles. I continue to order them because for the first 2 months I find them to be very comfortable. I would recommend them to other people but if you're older with health issues be prepared to order often. I would and do recommend Zappos to friends, the customer service is beyond compare. Zappos knows how to run a business.

These are my third pair of Addiction walkers!! I love them. I need a wide toe box and these have it. Why mess with a good thing?

I bought these because of the other reviews saying that were great for plantar fasciitis and they were so right. Most comfortable sneakers I have ever purchased.

Very nice shoe, but I had to return them because I have flat feet and they hurt my arches. The heal was nice and snug compared to the NB 928 walker.
