I love these shoes. I always wear black sneakers. The shoes are extremely comfortable and very durable. I feel like they will last longer than my Asics.

Amazing shoes! Can wear them right out of the box. I have heel spurs on both feet and extra wide feet. I just put in heel supports and the pain is gone. This is my 2nd pair. The 1st pair lasted 2 years and I'm very hard on them. I will keep buying this style as long as their available.

My son loves these shoes. He has flat feet and needs a shoe with good support. We order a wide so it gives him a bit more room for his orthodics. I only wish they would last a bit longer bit he is hard on shoes.

My feet and back were aching as I work retail and I'm always on my feet and walking a lot. But I need an all black shoe. I also weigh 215 lbs so I need a shoe with a lot of support. This Brooks Addiction 11 was total comfort and support right out of the box. Within two weeks the pain in my feet and back went away. The only downside was that I had to use a black magic marker and darken the light highlight on the outside of the shoe.

I ordered these shoes for my husband because they were recommended by a physical therapist for having motion control and stability in the heel as well as good arch support. They definitely give him the support he needs being on his feet all day. They do run about a half size small so order up. Also, for a shoe that has more support, they look really good!

I have been wearing Brooks Addiction, Men's size 9 - 4E for many years. I am a heavy woman, with flat feet. These shoes allow me to walk comfortably, no foot/knee pain. I have orthotics, they fit in these shoes. I have tried a few others, but these are very reliable, so I stick with them.

First, I will start this review by telling you that I am 60 years old and own a "hands on" interior trim business. I am on my feet 13 to 14 hours a day and walk 10 to 12 miles a day according to a pedometer that my wife gave me to wear. I have worn New Balance shoes for the last 20 years and have been happy with them until I tried the Brooks Addiction. These shoes are the most comfortable shoes I have every had on my feet. I would recommend these shoes to anyone, especially someone like me who getting up in age but still has to work for a living. I just ordered a second pair for casual wear.

After having for issues with the Saucony Grid Omni Walker, the excellent Zappos employee allowed me to exchange them for these Brooks Addiction 11s in black. The instant I tried them on, I was hooked. Super comfortable in the toe box heel. The insert is superb. The tongue even has a lace eyelet to compensate for us overpronators. The tongue slipping to the side stuff, ya' know?
I'm hooked. I love them and I love Zappos!

These are very close to the Glycerin model. I use them to wear casually & to cross-train. For running, they are a little heavy. Outside of that, they offer good support & are comfortable. But they are closer to the feel of a light boot rather than a sneaker due to the weight & bulkiness. They serve a purpose & I am happy with the shoe.

I would not normally write a review. I am a fat girl at 400 pounds. I tried many shoes to start exercising and just walking around but with the size I am my legs just hurt so much. Until now, these are the best shoes! My legs do not hurt any more. I am starting to walk. I will be getting another pair so I can alternate my shoes out. I know the price is a lot of money but the pain is gone and my journey has started. Thank you Brooks.

I have worn these shoes for years and wear them nearly every day so I get a new pair once a year. The size is true and they hold their shape / support over time. It comes in wide widths which I need. The arch is good, but I need more so I wear an over the counter orthotic and that fits fine in the shoe.

Simply put: Brooks are the best running / athletic shoes I've ever owned. Each pair fits the same as the last. Quality is great.

Have A width flat feet, and a AAA heel, so finding comfortable shoes is a challenge. These shoes are very comfortable, and good lace system to adjust for narrow feet. Heel also holds well, which is often a problem with narrow feet.

The toe area is roomier than other shoes I have worn and support was good. Not heavy. Delivery to an APO address was 10 days from my order date. Going to buy another pair.

As soon as I stepped into these shoes, I realized that they were one of the most comfortable pairs that I had ever purchased. As someone who overpronates, walking in them just felt comfortable from the first step. I have only had them for a few weeks and do not know how well they will hold up yet, though.

These shoes are perfect. I was going on vacation and needed a pair of shoes I could walk in a long way. I have a hard time finding shoes that work for me but have had luck with Brooks in the past. I walked a mile in these on the treadmill when they first came. So far, so good. Then I took them on vacation and walked many, many miles in them. Great fit, plenty of support and no pain. Love them.

I have a wide foot. That's why I'm a woman buying mens' tennis shoes. Normally I buy New Balance, but lately they haven't held up well. I've never had Brooks shoes, and I was a little hesitant about the price. Let me tell you, these shoes are fantastic. My Mom tried them on and bought herself 3 pair. I love them. Even around the house. My feet don't get sore when I'm standing for a while cooking. This shoe is called "Addiction." I'm thinking of buying another pair so it certainly lives up to the name.

Great cushioning and support. Fits my narrow heels well and doesn't slip on the heel like so many shoes do. Brooks does a great job for big guys like me!

Recommended by my Dr. because of wide toe box. Very comfortable, in fact best shoes I have ever bought. Having professional inserts made and think it will take care of many problems.
