I tried so many different shoes to wear with my customer orthotics. I found these and have been wearing them for many years. I buy a few at a time and switch off.. I hope they never discontinue these.

My husband loves them! I bought them for him after he had fairly involved surgery on his right foot (a piece of his talus said broken off and the ligament that was attached to that piece had to be reattached and the broken piece removed). Recovery after this surgery is at least one year, so he can't run during that time, but he needed very comfortable and extremely supportive shoes for physical therapy and just wear in general. These shoes are awesome!

I've owned several Brooks over the years. As a big guy 6'5 / 300+, the support of these shoes are great.

Love these shoes right out of the box. The only hitch was sizing, which ended up being a bit small in spite of what others felt. I wear a Brooks Addiction Walker in a 10, so an Addiction 12 in the same size should be perfect, right. Nope, had to go up a half size to keep toes from rubbing. The 4E width is great if you need it. For my money Brooks is currently my shoe brand of choice. Thanks to Zappos for letting me figure it out!

I ordered from Zappos because they are one the few places to get a good selection of narrow width shoes. I was looking for a good athletic for walking and was advised by my podiatrist to get a good running shoe. I selected the Brooks Addiction 12 even though I had never heard of the brand. It received good reviews. I ordered a size 11 N since that is what I have worn fir years in an athletic. It turned out to be a little too snug at the big toe. A Zappos rep suggested I try an 11.5N. I returned the 11 and received the 11.5 in just a few days. I wear orthotics and the arched shoe insert was uncomfortable with the orthotic. I replaced the arched inserts with flat inserts and that worked perfectly with my orfhodic. The true test of my satisfaction with this shoe is that after walking a good deal one day my wife asked how I liked the shoes. I replied that I had not even thought about the shoes during the walk, so they are keepers. A really comfortable, supportative shoe.

These were very comfortable, but unfortunately they just didn't hold up for me. I'm trying different brands.

Excellent running and walking shoes. Very good support and running shoe type comfort. Runs true to length, but like most such athletic based shoes, the Addiction runs slightly narrow (not nearly as narrow as Nike however).
Very durable. As daily walkers, you should get well over a year, and they'll still look clean, too. High end construction no doubt about it.

Asics, New Balance

Been wearing these since January 2017 and two months later, I find them comfortable and providing excellent arch support. The styling is not the most attractive. They are great for walking.

My first pair of Brooks and I'm impressed. Quality built, good looking and comfortable! Only thing I'd change is a softer footbed which can be remedied by a good quality insole. These shoes are very light, stable construction and have an energy absorbing layer in the sole which feels great on my tender diabetic feet! Give them a try! I had to go 1 size up from my normal due to toes rubbing in the end. 2 Thumbs UP..!

Excellent Shoe, Great Fit, comfort, and fantastic performance. This the second pair of Brooks I have owned and I honestly do not think I go back to my previous brands. Great match up for me.

My son is a severe overpronator and a big guy. These shoes always alleviate knee and back discomfort caused by his feet. They work wonderfully for him.

These are my son's favorite shoes! He has a large, wide foot and these shoes fit him nicely. He is a very active person and these shoes provide the support he needs. I would recommend these to anyone with a wide foot looking for a comfortable, long lasting pair of shoes.

Aside from the overly flashy emblem on the side (especially in red--I won two styles of this shoe), I love it. If you tend to have feet that swell a bit from walking, the material handles this well, as it's a cloth like material and not hard leather.

I've purchased several pairs of this shoe. I didn't like the white reflective spot on the toe and hat Brooks added, I think it takes away from the style of the shoe. Overall this is a great shoe for walking

Very comfortable shoe with nice, wide toe box. Great for those requiring wider shoes and who desire a comfortable walking/running shoe.

I bought these for my Dad last Christmas in all black so that he can wear them to work. He loves them, he says they are so comfortable! I am buying a second pair in a different color so he can wear on the weekends. Thanks Brooks and Zappos!

I have been using these shoes for at least the past 3 or 4 years on a DAILY basis. They are comfortable and stand up to constant use. My feet don't feel tired at the end of my longs day of constant movement at the radio station that I work at in Hawaii. I usually get a new pair every 6 months or so. The other shoes I purchase are the Beast 16....but they have not been coming out in SOLID black so that's why I get these in addition to the Beast. Great support and comfort. Highly recommend these for support and for folks with a few extra lbs.
