Customer Reviews Brooks Addiction™ Walker

Brooks walking shoe - I am really impressed with the comfort of this shoe. I have owned Brooks sneakers before and they have helped my plantar fasciitis. I work in a hospital and am on my feet all day. Thank you for such an impressive product.

Brooks Addiction Walker with shoe laces - This shoe is great except I prefer the hook and loop style, which is much easier to get on and off. Brooks Addiction walking shoes are the sturdiest, most long lasting of any walking/running shoes I’ve worn. I like the black color because it doesn't show dirt. This shoe is especially good for people who need lots of toe room but a heel that doesn't slide off when you walk. I use a heel lift in one shoe and it fits inside the shoe perfectly. This shoe is a bit stiff when you first try it but that stiffness seems to go away. I hope Zappos keeps carrying this style for a long time!

Wonder shoes!!! Have been wearing Brooks Addiction for more years than I can remember. When I showed them to my orthopedist, he couldn't believe the construction and support. Working as a medical assistant for over 20 years, these shoes have been my life savor. I purchased a new pair 3 times a year. Worth ever penny I've spent. Recently found Zappos and it makes a good thing even better. Order online and receive them within a few days.

Handled Vegas like a pro! I have tried several different types of walkers and I keep coming back to the Addiction. I like the 08 better than the original, but wishes they were more stylish. It was a little tight at first with my orthotic, but the leather stretched within a day. I have had no problems since then and have ordered the white pair which look like nurse's shoes (I work in the health care field, so this works). They are comfortable, durable and handled walking miles in Vegas without issue. Plus Zappos has the best return and shipping out there. I ordered the white pair at 9:30 EST and they arrived the next day. Love you Zappos and love the Brooks!!

Wonderful Walking Shoes - I love these shoes for walking! I have walked miles in these while in Europe and have not had any problems. They have supported my feet and back very well. They have excellent arch support. I have purchased other Brook's running shoes in the past few years and these are the first walking shoes. I'm sure I will be buying more.

Have worn Brooks for years - While these look rather utilitarian, they give me great support for walking. Walking is my primary form of exercise, and I walk about 20 miles a week. This is an updated model from the one I used to wear, but it's essentially unchanged. The latest pairs I've ordered don't seem to wear for as long (used to last me a year; now more like 6-9 months... but in fairness, I might be walking more). These aren't a lightweight shoe, but they are WATERPROOF-- I walk right through puddles most days and my feet stay dry. Lots of room for my orthotics. I've tried lots of brands, and these work best for me (8 EE foot with bunions). They run large-- I order a 7.5 in this shoe, where I normally wear an 8 in other shoes.

The Best Shoes! My feet used to hurt all the time. I am on my feet all day for years past. Now I do not have feet and leg pain. I started with orthotics, but it wasn't til I got the Brooks Addiction Walker that it all resolved.

Happy Feet Happy ME - The Brooks Addiction Walker W 08 is a profoundly great shoe. Incredible comfort. All day long support. Really great support in fact. Looks are good too. In fact after walking in my shoes for a day or two... I ordered 2 more pairs. I do not want to be without them. Thank you to the staff for helping me find them... it was my 1st time shopping at Zappos...I think I hit a homer. GO CUBS!!! You will love these shoes too. Oh yes they do run small... so listen to the advise of the Zappos shoe expert...go a size bigger.

Addiction Walker W 08 - This is remarkably well constructed with smooth interior (ie. no abrasive stitching), excellent support, holds its shape longer than any other I've had, sheds stains and water and easily accommodates an orthotic. The toe box is ample and well shaped. The bone color is ideal for all-season wear. I have purchased 4 pairs which speak for my satisfaction.

I had foot surgery and struggled to find comfortable shoes for my 10 day at work. These are very comfortable.

The sneaker is bulky, sole is hard and not really flexible, insole soft, overall comfortable sneakers, wish for something lighter, airy. I’m keeping it, need it to wear to work

I have a long narrow foot. These fit as they should, comfortable and snug. Not loose at all. The appearance though , thick soles and all one color, made me feel like a brat doll. So returning.

These are very comfortable shoes. I recently sustained an ankle sprain so I was looking for shoes that would provide support and motion control for an over pronator. These do the job. I initially bought them in the bone color thinking they would look less orthopedic but no such luck. The black are more practical so I exchanged them. They are not heavy which was a pleasant surprise but they are clunky. My shoes sometimes hit each other as I walk because of the bulky style. Sometimes I feel that the shoes are not responsive enough to my foot movement but I suppose that is a small price to pay for a stable shoe.

They were comfortable as soon as I put them on and they have remained comfortable. I'm not a big fan of the color I chose, but it's growing on me. I chose the color because at the time white or black was not available and I needed a great walking shoe.
