I use these with my own custom made orthopedics and my walking comfort has improved with better times and distances. I will not buy another type of walking shoe again...I found the one that works for me!
I'd also recommend:
New Balance is another shoe I have used befor. Hard to find the newer improved versions...

These shoes were actually wide enough, no irritation at the ball of the foot. Comfortable otherwise, too. When putting my full weight down on my foot, the widest part measures 9 1/2". It would be nice to see on the advert, that this width comfortably accommodates a 9 1/2" ball of the foot.

Propet, some styles have large toe box.

My niece. who manages fitness centers. recommended Brooks. I love these shoes. No break in period. I can wear them all day. Little hard to get on at first. You need to open up the laces.

I love this Brooks Addiction Walker in the bone color. It offers great support, has a good enough arch, and accommodates my orthodic inserts. Also, it blends in to the point of not being visible. I can wear it with any color outfit and it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb. I have a problem with pronation and this shoe allows me to walk pain free.

This shoe is exactly what the information says it says it is, a good walking shoe. I wear them to work on concrete floors and they save my knees and back like no other. No leg fatigue at the end of the day. I have big feet, so they'd probably look cuter on someone with small feet, but they are comfortable, make no doubt about that! I would recommend them to anyone with leg or back or knee pain especially.

This is my third pair of Addiction Walkers, and the first in leather. I ordered in wide and my custom orthotics (which are pretty deep) fit well and I feel totally secure when walking.

Shoes are super comfortable. Good support and can walk in these shoes all day without any soreness in my feet or knees. My feet are picky and when I wear shoes that have no support, I end of having knee pain. This shoe is great to work in all day as well. I highly recommend this shoe.

If your ankles turn inward, this is the shoe for you. The steel bars help hold your feet straight and you walk better, have no pain because they fit your feet. I love these shoes and it is all I wear - even to church. I highly recommend them.

I love my Brooks Addiction Walker shoes. In fact I will be ordering a black pair very soon. They took less than 48 hours to get used to. My energy increased because my feet didn't hurt any more. I wear a ridgy brace inside one of my shoes and it accommodates it very well.

Love these shoes! This is my third pair. It's my go to walking shoe for about the last 10 years. The white shoes seem to fit better than the black - the black were a tad small for some reason.

They are awesome. Both men and women Brooks feel great. The support is great but the price is quite high and were not at a discount or on sale.

I struggled to find a comfortable walking shoe, for my hard to fit foot, to wear with black pants. I had to choose comfort over cute and this is the shoe. Brooks Addiction has been my athletic shoe of choice for many years because of the needed stability they provide my feet, and this style does the same. Thanks to Zappos I was able to order and return several options before going back to my tried and true brand.

Love this shoe. No more foot pain. Walking outdoors again. Roomy toe box and size 11-1/2 fits perfect. Have not been able to find the half-size which is what I need. First pair of Brooks brand.

When I read such good reviews I thought "wouldn't it be nice if it were true". And, it WAS true. I have to wear large orthotics and have never had any shoes that didn't take at least a month to adjust/break in. These have been perfect from the day I got them. I won't buy anything else.

My cousin, Cindy, had recommended zappos. She recommended the addiction walkers. Working at a grocery store, on a hard cement floor, cashiering all day long, my feet were literally killing me! I got to the point where I thought I'd have to quit because of the damage being done to my feet. I would come home and soak them they were in so much pain. Well, when I got my addiction walkers, the difference they made was unbelievable! I even wear them to my other job! They were so comfortable! I didn't want to take them off! They were THAT comfortable. Prior to wearing them, my feet were swollen on top and by the toes. I was in a great deal of pain. When I ordered them, and Zappos gave me (free) next day delivery, I was thrilled. I know I will buy another pair, but I am so very grateful for my cousin, Cindy and sharing these great shoes. I would have never heard of them! I wish some of the younger kids at work would invest in a pair, I worry about them when they get older. The most comfortable shoes I HAVE EVER HAD!! Thank you!! I hope I HAVE helped someone else, the way my cousin helped me, cause it truly was a saving grace. I couldn't work at the grocery store without them.

Excellent shoe for walking. I have a very narrow foot. I ordered 9 1/2 Narrow and these are so comfortable. They also allow me to use my custom orthopedic insert.

I am a first time customer for Brooks Addiction Walker. It is an excellent walking shoe and very comfortable. The shoe is a little heavy for everyday use. I am pleased with my purchase.

Very comfortable and good support. I have plantar fasciitis and found this shoe was what I was looking for. Spent 3 hours walking and standing on concrete floor and had no discomfort. Will try to get it in another color.

I cannot say enough good things about these shoes. This is my second pair, because I liked the first pair so much. They are comfortable and roomy in the toe, with lots of support; they accommodate and complement my orthotics perfectly. Yeah, they're ugly; so what?

I have extremely narrow feet and have always found New Balance to be the best option for me. However, after reading the reviews on Zappos, I opted to try the Brooks. I am thoroughly impressed. They fit like a glove right out of the box. I have only had them a few days and I am very pleased with them so far.

This is my third pair of Walkers. I love them. They work well for long walks, and then I can pop into a restaurant wearing them because they are black and simple. They are extremely comfortable and wear well. They are comfortable from the moment you put them on. They are a standard in my life!

This is my first Brooks Walker, and they are great.
I had a bone surgery in my foot, and needed a full side support shoe. These are great for walking. I plan to order another in black.

I have problems with my feet. Even so I walk with my dog "Sam" at least 3 miles a day. Put that together with all the walking done on a regular day of cleaning, shopping, etc. The Brooks Addiction Walker is the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn. I certainly do recommend them for anyone.

The shoe is wonderfully comfortable. I am transitioning from wearing orthopedics to well fitting sneakers & shoes after 3 years. The size is a true fit, with no blistering or sore spots. I am able to wear all day without discomfort. However...this color (bone) looks more like a putty & not the least bit attractive. White would be better in this style.
