Although this color is better than pure white, I dislike the dark look of these shoes. I purchase this style because they are great for flat feet. They are so comfortable.

I have been having pain in my feet for years! Over pronation. My physical therapist suggest orthotics and these shoes. The inserts helped but the shoes made all the difference.

I have stayed with the Addiction shoe for the past few years. I love this new color option that was offered. It is much more flattering and feels less like an orthopedic shoe. This is the only shoe that allows for excellent stability and room for my orthotic.

Ordered these because I usually wear Brooks Ariel, wide. Found after ankle surgery that the current Ariel model was not wide enough, even trying an extra-wide. The Addiction proved to be a true extra-wide, allowing for the swelling in my foot but also providing support.

This shoe is with good support and cushioning. I have difficult feet and these shoes help me to walk. Like the color too. Before ending hats off to Zappos customer service, they are awesome!

Comfort from the first step, excellent pronation control/stability! The removable insoles didn't have a ton of arch, but they allowed me to use my custom orthotics. More of a steel blue/gray than a black - pretty sleek looking for running or casual.

Comfortable. More narrow than the Adrenaline's in the toe bed, so I expect I'll eventually switch back. Brooks are the only running shoes I don't twist my ankle in, or get shin splints. Great shoe. Durable for my use.

Bought these as I couldn't find the Glycerins in a wide size that I didn't already have. Love them almost as much and glad to have another pair of shoes to alternate wearing. Love buying from Zappos, great service!

These are the only walking shoes I can tolerate as of late. They are very comfortable and the fit of 11.5 WW is perfect.

This shoe is about the only shoe I can wear and be in comfort. I just wish I had more choices of colors or another shoe that would have the same comfort.

This shoe is helped my poor afflicted feet. I have a bunion with, some arthritis in the big toe & a neuroma. The toe box is comfortably wide enough not to stress any of these. I use a Powerstep arch insert with it.

These should be very comfortable shoes! I'm having so much foot pain from two surgeries that nothing seems to help. I have a huge left foot bunion that remains unhappy even with this very comfortable wide shoe. I highly recommend this Brooks Addiction 12, as many have said the 12 is the best! To make things more perfect is our friends at Zappos!

Great shoes and super comfortable. They are bulky but do not feel heavy. Still getting used to jogging in them but overall, super happy with my purchase!

Comfortable and ready to walk for miles straight out of the box. These shoes were just right for my feet and my gait. The pronation control and arch support helped my body feel like it was back in alignment, despite my cranky hips and knees. I hope Brooks keeps the Addiction 12's in their line-up for a long time and adds some new colors.

I need a special size shoe and they always have different styles for me to try. Free shipping is a plus.

I have wide feet and as a nurse I'm on my feet for 12+ hrs a day. I tried getting wide clogs which weren't even close to wide enough. These shoes are amazing! Literally the first shoe I've worn that fits my extra wide feet. I didn't have to break them in at all, from the beginning they were great. I'm probably going to order a second pair for the gym soon. Style wise I am pretty happy as well, they don't look like old lady shoes. 10/10 would recommend.

First pair of Brooks shoes I've ever owned. From the moment I put them on I was in love! They fit true to size and are extremely comfortable. I've also never found a pair of running shoes that fits well in the toe box, but these in a narrow are absolutely perfect - like a glove!

The Addictions are consistently perfect shoes and a perfect fit for my pronation problem foot. I just wish that there were more styles available.

I love this shoe. Great for the overpronator who needs controlled support. It's great arch support for a low to medium arched foot, but needs more for a high arch. However, it does run short, about a size. I have this shoe in 2 colors from years past. I'm not a fan of the color of it this year, but it'll probably change next year, so no big deal.

I love Brooks shoes and have bought them for many years because I have wide feet. I have liked all of the Brooks shoes but this is the first time that I have bought the Addiction and I rate them all high but I really really love these. The minute I put them on they were comfortable.

I have worn Asics for several years, but I cannot get them in wide so I tried the Brooks Addiction 12. Those are fantastic shoes! They are extra wide and they fit perfectly with wonderful support. I walk or hike in them everyday and they never hurt my old (75 years) terrible feet.

This is my fifth pair of Addiction shoes. This brand was recommended to me by the foot specialist. They are very comfortable, true to size and have a wider toe base. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and need the support that these shoes offer.
