Customer Reviews Brooks Addiction 12

I AM IN LOVE WITH THESE SHOES! They feel like they were made for me. I have horrible feet (plantar fasciitis, overpronate, super narrow, etc), and these are ridiculously comfortable. I have tried many different brands and styles, and these are - by far - the best I've come across. They are expensive but beyond worth it. I love the stretchy laces, which give me a great fit. I wear a 6.5-7 in most shoes but ordered up a half size in these. The 7.5 is perfect! I'm a Brooks convert for life!

I have severe pronation and these are the only shoes I can walk/work out in, I've been buying this brand and style for 7 years. Love them!!!

When I took the shoes out of the box and put them on, I did not want to take them off. They have been extremely comfortable. I have been wearing Brooks Addiction for years and hoped the tradition of being the "perfect" shoe for me would continue in "12." I like the color of the shoe better than I thought I would based on the online picture. The wide toe box is comfortable for my feet with bunions.

I'm replacing a 1 year old pair of Addiction 11s because I've worn the sole on the outside. Other than that the shoe has been a blessing for my PTT. Arch support is so good I don't have to wear orthotics. I normally wear 10.5/N with an especially narrow heel and bunion on one foot. In Brooks I wear 11/N.

Most comfortable shoe I have ever worn. I have issues and wear orthotics. At my job I walk 9 hrs on hard floors. No problem!

These shoes are very comfortable and supportive for my very flat feet. I have been wearing them to work out for several weeks, so far so good. I agree with other reviewers that other color options would be nice.

I am a 77 year old active senior. I do a little jogging but mostly walking. I have pain in my right foot when I wear a show without support but these sneakers seem to do the job for me. I can walk a mile or more without pain. They are sooo comfortable and were from the first time I wore them. I was originally looking for a white sneaker with very good support but decided to try these and I am glad I did. I do wish the colors were more to my liking but the blue is about the best I could do. What happened to a the "plain" sneakers? Anyway, I do love this one.

Ordered two styles of New Balance and this one was winner by far. I wanted a supportive sneaker that would not look orthopedic and boxy - - the color and mesh styling help keep this shoe from looking "clunky". I can wear these all day and my knees and back do not complain as they did with other sneakers, the arch support suits me well. I would buy these again.

Just a little short. My right foot is a little longer than the left. The left shoe fits, but the right one is to short.

Brooks Addiction 12 really fits well & is extremely comfortable. I wear these with inserts----I have very flat feet and suffer from plantar fasciitis. My feet need the extra support of an insert! I purchased these addictions after wearing out the addiction 9's! I went on a 3 week trip to France and needed a supportive shoe to walk miles per day------cobblestone's etc. The addiction worked perfectly-----very comfortable! Thrilled to find a pair of athletic shoes that are comfortable & supportive in a size 5.5 wide!! Thank You Brooks & Zappos-----I am about to buy another pair!!

I've been wearing Addiction for almost 20 yrs. This one seems narrow but may feel that way since I haven't replaced the last pair for 2 yrs. I'm wearing a thinner sock and they continue to provide the excellent support that I've come to count on with this shoe. Fun colors in other styles, wish Brooks would have some fun with Addiction too, but supportive comfort is key for me.

Love shopping at Zappos they are the best site ever. Great customer service .

I love these shoes! I just ordered another pair. They are perfect for walking or just to wear around. So comfortable and have great stability. I have a wide foot so I get the EE and there's plenty of room.

I wear an unusual size shoe(11.5 AA0 and Zappos does not disappoint. This is my 2nd pair of Brooks as I love how they hug my heel and give great arch support.

they were comfortable right out of the box. After 5 minutes my feet settled in to them and i really liked them they are comfortable, and I didn't need my inserts. Yup these are staying.... First time I have tried this model as i had the Adrenaline 14 before which i loved but they kept changing the model and they are not as comfortable.

I can't say enough about how I LOVE these shoes! I'm an extra wide, so I have a difficult time finding shoes that fit. This is my 3rd pair of Brooks, nothing else will be on my feet. My feet, knees, & back no longer hurt. Thank you, Zappos for offering these amazing sneakers! I love the Addictions! Could come in more variety but to me, that's cosmetic.

I have very hard to fit feet, due to my wide width and narrow heel. These are perfect because of the heel cuff that keeps my feet in the sneaker, even when I pick up the pace. They are cute looking too, which is a bonus.

The Brooks Addiction 12 is the third pair of shoes I have purchased in this series over a few years. They have consistently been the most comfortable, supportive walking shoe I have ever owned. The large toe box accommodates my toes well, with lots of wiggle room. Thick padding on the tongue brings an extra measure of cushioning when lacing up. If you crave comfort on a long walk, this is the shoe for you!

I have a wide foot with lots of issues. This shoe was comfy right out of the box. I can wear them all day!

After ordering 10 or 15 pairs of tennis shoes, (thanks Zappos for free shipping!) these were perfect for my wide feet and high arches. They are so comfortable and cute. Several months later, I ordered two more pairs so I don't have to worry about finding another type that fit so well.

I find that Brooks athletic shoes run one size small, and also narrow, however I love the fit and comfort - especially dealing with Plantar Fasciitis. These Brooks Addiction 12 are even much more comfortable than last years series! Plan on buying a second pair

Great Brooks shoes that help my over pro-nation. I order a size up so I can get my orthodontics in. They have great support too. They have a nice wider toe box. I do wish they had other colors.

When I first put these on, I wasn't 100% sure I was keeping them. Not sure why, but I love them. Great anti-pronation support and ample cushioning. Did I mention that these are real narrows? I wear a 10.5 N or AA and most shoes get the heels wrong (too loose) even if they get the mid foot correct. Could have used more color choices, but beggars can't be choosers. So have at it!

Love this shoe. Out of the box perfect. And I ordered the wrong size and had a replacement the very next day. Absolutely no hassle. The shoe is very nice looking. A soft grey color that I love. I have neuroma's on both feet and have to have wide shoes so there is no pressure or squeezing of the foot. These shoes don't look like boats. Will definitely be ordering another pair.

I've finally found a pair of sneakers wide enough for my Fred Flinstone feet. Hallelujah! I actually had to tighten the laces on these, whereas I usually feel like my feet are crammed into the sneakers. These did not feel like that at all. And ... they're cute. Love the colors. I am now a loyal Brooks customer.
