I have a heel spur and was pain free for about 4 days. The shoe works well with my orthotic.

These are the most comfortable shoes that I have ever worn from the very first time I put them on! The finish on the leather makes them dressier than the usual athletic shoe.

I wear orthotic on one foot and Richie brace on the other for flat foot deformity. I had been wearing New Balance but they keep changing their designs and there were no longer any New Balance products to support my feet and my orthotics. This Brooks Addiction works very well and is very supportive. I only hope Brooks, too, won't mess with perfection as other shoe companies have.

If you want a pretty walking shoe, this isn't it, but it's the most comfortable and functional walking shoe ever ! I wear an orthotic for overpronation and ordered a full size larger -- would go 1/2 size smaller next time. There will be a next time!

Zappos delivered promptly! The Brooks Walker fit just great. I'm glad to have found a sneaker type shoe that doesn't look like I am about to play full court basketball! Very comfortable and true to the fit described.

These are great fitting shoes. They help my flat-feet, and my pronation. I keep coming back to them!

I have plantar fasciitis and have an orthotic to put in my shoe and this shoe is so roomy in the footbed and so comfortable, it is my second pair...and of course the wonderful, fast service from Zappos will keep me coming back again and again. Thanks Zappos.

This is a great shoe! Full support, appropriate cushioning, and excellent footing for both urban sidewalks and dirt hiking/walking trails.

Not the most cool looking shoe, but very good for walking. The phrase "function over fashion" never fit so well.

This shoe is the one Medicare gave me and I am buying a replacement on my own. The helped heal up my foot ulcer. It is great!

I have been buying these shoes for the past 4 years. Ordering from Zappos is great - you get next day delivery free. These shoes are the only ones I can use due to tendinitis.

This has to be the most comfortable walking shoe, period. And the "bone" color makes it perfect for rainy day walks. For those who over-pronate and/or have wide feet, I would highly recommend this shoe. And thank you Zappos for your excellent service!

My feet are unusually flexible -- they flex as much as my hands. I must have firm arch support. These are the best walking shoes I've tried. I don't even have to use my custom orthotics. The standard footbed + the motion control sole is enough for me. I have also tried New Balance WW811, but my foot is ever so slightly wedge shaped, and my heels lift as I walk even though the New Balance model fits fine otherwise. So I'm sticking with the Brooks Addiction.

I love these shoes! I've had surgery on both feet and have had to use orthotics in my shoes. I was looking for a shoe that was very comfortable and had good support. This shoe has both. It's like wearing a glove. I highly recommend them. I don't even need the orthotics because the arch support is so good and did I say how comfortable they are?

It's comfortable, lightweight and just the shoes I needed for work, but I need a little allowance so am returning it for a a next size bigger. Zappos is still the best store for me. Congratulations!

I bought these for my wife, a pharmacist who stands 9 hours a day. She is extremely pleased! These shoes are light weight and very comfortable. She has tried many different brands of comfort shoes, but these she says are the very best. Highly recommend if you stand all day.

These have been the shoes for me for 6 years. I'm a nurse and am on my feet for hours a day and the very first day I started using these shoes my hip stopped aching. Zappos will get your shoes to you astonishingly fast and will readily accept them back if they don't fit.

This is the second pair of Brooks Addiction Walkers I've purchased. I wore the last pair almost every day for almost three years. I ordered 1/2 size larger to accommodate my orthotics, and they fit perfectly. They may not be pretty but they are super comfortable. I can walk in them all day!

Great sneakers.
I work in the medical field

The support is great.
Works well with inserts.

I own two pair of Brooks and love them. They help with various foot problems and since I can walk more. I lose weight and healthier! My sister had both knees replaced and had no luck in locating shoes that let her walk without pain. Sent her the Brooks Addiction and she loves them! Sent me a basket of candy, which did not help my weight loss.

I have plantar fascia, however you spell it. Need shoes with good support and have been wearing Brooks for years. But I was super delighted to find these basic shoes in something other than white or black and in the medium, which so many brands do not offer. These shoes have literally kept me walking.

I have bought this shoe in white before and it size was perfect. Last week I bought the black for the first time and it was very small (an inch shorter than the white pairs I own). Thinking it was a fluke, I ordered the second pair and what do you know? Those were also small. If ordering black, go up a size.
