Customer Reviews Brooks Addiction™ Walker

These are great shoes. I wear orthotics and have all sorts of foot problems and these fit the bill. I had to send them back to get a bigger size but that was the only complaint!!!!! They are great, cushiony, supportive and overall good shoes if you wear orthotics and have any kind of foot problems. Zappos is really the best place to buy shoes by far.

Very comfortable. I wear WW, need good arch support and good padding on the bottom of my feet. Bought two different shoes and these were superior to the other brand. Returning the other. I see why they named them Addiction Walker

I had recently suffered a foot injury and the podiatrist pointed out that my Brooks Glycerin 13 were good. Though they are comfortable and well beyond broken in, they had a lot of mileage on them. I have a tendency to over-pronate so I started to do some research and found the Brooks Addiction Walkers. I wanted to make sure that my foot condition didn't exacerbate my issue. These shoes are the best. Tons of support and my feet feel extremely stable. I can go for walks in them without worrying that my feet will be sore or fatigued. I got the black pair since I wanted to be able to wear them to work and though they may not be the most stylish, I will vote for comfort any day over style. I wear a size 8.5 or 9 so I opted for the 9 and they fit great. I am so happy that I found them! Thank you, Brooks Addiction!!!

These shoes are all I buy for everyday use and work.I have been a nurse for 26 years.I have had foot surgery years ago, fallen arches, and over pronate.These shoes taking the pounding of working 12 hour shifts in a hospital.I've tried different shoes on and off over the years, I pull them off and put my Brooks back on. Just can't find a better shoe..I don't even try any more!Don't change the shoe or discontinue please!

This shoe is determined to keep your foot safe and in the right position. If I had more serious foot issues I would have kept this pair. Not quite ready for it; it is very stiff and takes more time and effort to get on the foot than I am ready to invest. I think for the first time I could have used a shoe horn. Instead I got a Ryka walking shoe. This shoe looks just a little more 'ortho' than I'd like.

Shoe came in with a pair of black new balance as well. Looked at them and thought no way. Well the 11 new balance WW847v2 were too small, toes right at top. Tried these in 11 had room to spare with custom orthotic in them and plenty of room in the toe box. Tried these on fit right away and were comfortable worked out great and not as heavy as I thought. I work in car sales and I am on my feet quite a bit running inside and outside. Looked great with my black work pants. Suffer w/plantar fascitis and pronating.

I have wide feet and this shoe is wide in the toe box but not too wide in the back and so it is a perfect fit.

I have horrible feet...bunions, hammertoes, flat feet and these shoes are wonderful. My orthotics fit perfectly and with the tops made out of leather, my bunions won't wear through. Very comfortable from the first step. Love them!

These are most definitely not "Slip Resistant!" I ordered them because I work in a restaurant environment. I wore them to work and felt like I was skating on ice in the kitchen area. My worn out old sneakers have better traction than these shoes. I'm horribly disappointed because I did a lot of online research before purchasing these shoes. They're comfortable and nice looking, but don't purchase them for their "slip-resistance." It's non existent and I plan to return to Zappos for refund.

Great support, I always go up a half size with Brooks, a little like my grandma's shoes but foot/knee/hip health is more important and I walk all day on concrete.

I searched the internet for "best walking shoes for fat women" and these came up so I bought some and they are the best walking shoes I've ever owned. They come in wide width, the fit was perfect and they are very comfortable. I bought another pair to make sure I have them on hand when the first pair wears out.

I bought the Brooks Addiction Walker shoes because I had a three week vacation in Italy planned with many walking tours. The shoes were wonderful! The supported and protected my feet. I had no discomfort from the shoes while walking and I wore them a lot. I highly recommend them. They are not "stylish" or sexy but they are perfect for walking!

I purchased both the white and black mens Brooks Addiction Walkers. Great fit and very comfortable. The white shoes have white leather but off white soles and on the black shoes the strings and inner lining have a faded black color that does not match the leather which I thought was odd but I love the shoes nonetheless. The length was normal but I purchased wide shoes based on other reviews which made them fit perfectly on my feet.

Very comfortable walking shoe. Consistent Brooks sizing and fit for neutral alignment. Definitely not stylish but I bought them for comfort while standing for many hours a day. Note that I always wear a full size larger in Brooks, including this shoe.

I have problem feet with some nerve issues and these shoes give me support while being soft. I finally got wise and ordered the wide width. Much better for me.

Love these sneakers. I have severe over pronation, plantar fasciitis, and a bunion, and these sneakers are by far the best Brooks makes. I've tried the Addiction II two times, they were not the most stylish of sneakers...so these, in black are more stylish, and they feel like I am walking on air, solid, sturdy, leather, no sand gets into them when I walk. I can even do a little running in these. I highly recommend for anyone with foot issues like myself and I am in the nursing field and on my feet 8 hours a day and look forward to wearing these sneakers every day.

This shoe can take a lot of miles & not show wear. I wear orthotics & for me the toe box felt a little too narrow. Next time I would order a half size large.

Bought three of these and love them. Needed support for knees and I can walk in them all day with no problems. They aren't clunky looking like so many support shoes, I really like the way they look! Had to return first pair as they do run narrow. Zappos.com could not have been more helpful. Also, the price at Zappos was less than other sites for this same shoe!

I have lost count of how many pairs of these I have owned. I have been wearing these shoes for over 12 years. I have severely flat feet that were so bad I was walking on the inside of my foot as my arch had completely collapsed. I have just had a rather extensive foot surgery where several bones we fused, muscles in my calf stretched, and am now in physical therapy. I also have new orthotics to accommodate my post surgical foot. These shoes were originally recommended by a technician who made my first orthotics. I put them on the minute that I get out of bed and keep them on all day. They do an exceptional job of keeping my feet upright and secure. The toe box is wide enough so that my toes can move freely while I can tighten the laces enough to hold my feet. The Zappos service is impeccable and I will continue to use them exclusively. I order one day and they are on my doorstep the next day. I have tried other shoes to replace the Brooks brand as other gimmicky shoes come out, and I always send the others back and re-order the Brooks. I know that my feet would not have held up as long as they did before surgery was required if not for these Brooks shoes.

These are the most comfortable waking shoes period! I have bought them for quite a few years, and wouldn't switch to another brand. I walk 14 miles a day and these shoes hold up!

These are the perfect walking shoe for me. I have bad bunions and only Brooks give enough space in the toes. This is my third pair, but they last a long time.

I bought the Addiction Walker to prevent heel pain during a trip abroad. I am happy to report that these are wonderful shoes and that I walked hours every day for 2 1/2 weeks without pain or further injury. Recommend without hesitation.

As soon as I put these on, they were so comfortable. Good cushion and support. Very good arch support.

My fouth pair and they have all fit like glove and have very good support. So I keep coming back for more.

I have been buying these shoes for years in the same style with the same great fit. These shoes are the best if you have foot problems like so many of us do. The support is great and the cushioning helps me walk for longer periods. I love these shoes.
