Brooks generally provide great support for over pronation. I usually wear a 10 in most brands, 10.5 in Brooks, but I had to exchange these for an 11. Much smaller than other Brooks I've worn. The 11 length is OK, but feels wider-

I truly loved the cushion in them and the color and style is great. The definitely run a half size small though if not a full size. I won't know that until I get the new half size bigger, but willing to try again!

These are comfortable but look a little like gun boats on my feet. I wish Brooks would bring back the Glycerin 14 style before they dumbed it down with the 15 and 16 versions.

Shoe felt good. I usually wear an 11.5 in Asics, but this 11.5 was too short (maybe because I ordered a narrow?). My big toe hit the front of the interior. Also, the ankle support doesn't seem to rise as high as the Asics GT-2000-5.

With wide feet (after having 3 kids), it is difficult to find a shoe that fits comfortably. This sneaker is comfortable and looks nice. Would buy again and recommend to anyone with a wide foot.

I tried the rooks Addiction when the Brooks Dyad 10 didn't work. The addiction didn't work for me. The shoe rolled my foot to the outside of the shoe. This was certainly not what my poor foot needed. So back they go to search some more.

I've been buying Brooks for a few years. They have enough support to help with my heel spurs and plantar fasciitis. My current shoe is the Adrenaline 17. I love it, but I'm on my last pair and can't find them anymore. Sadly, I couldn't wear the Addiction 13. It was just too short. I tried it on with the factory insoles and with my VIONIC insoles. My toe was at the very end of the shoe. I didn't try a larger size because the heel fit fine and I was worried that the heel cup would be larger or taller. On the plus side, the shoe did feel nice and comfy on my feet. Thanks to Zappos for having an AMAZING return policy!

I bought my normal size in these but they are a little small (short). The end of my toe is hitting the edge of the shoe inside. I ordered a bigger size, I hope they fit! Otherwise I like the color scheme and the padding inside. Comfortable.

First off, I'm not sure how it works on all the sizing selectors, but I usually wear a 9 1/2 in shoes...but I wear an 11 in Brooks.
This is my third or fourth pair of Addiction shoes. They cured my plantar fascia issues, which was a huge relief.
This is the first pair that have given me problems around the 1-year mark. The ankle top has worn through on one foot, and there's something inside the heel that popped loose and now pokes into the side of my heel.

Addiction 13 is narrower than previous models. I had to return my first pair and order the wide - the first pair of wide shoes I have ever worn.

I'm stuck with wide brooks because of my feet and pronation. So comfortable I have no pain with walking or jogging but so ugly and so few ( to no) options. I hate the colors- how about just black? Either way, I'll buy them again.

I developed a blister on my left big toe, outside edge bottom, under a callus. Did feel while it was developing, but when shoe came off there it was

I love Addictions - have worn them for almost 20 years, 3 to 4 pair a year. For some reason the upper cloth edge does not last more than a few weeks without showing tear marks. This has not happened with Adrenaline 13 that I have tried several times. I keep going back to Addiction but the cloth edge does not last before showing these wear marks. I have only worn these Addiction for about 2 weeks and they are already showing this.

Hese shoes are super comfortable but they've broken down much faster than previous purchases of Brooks shoes. The inside is already feeling worn and the toe of one shoe is coming loose.

I use to buy nothing but Brooks shoes-----but, sooner or later Y'all sell out to cheapness!
This latest pair of Addiction Walkers are definitely poorly made and don't even come close
to the support they use to give me 10 years ago. Might as well go to Payless Shoes! So, either
get your act together and restore quality and durability or I'm DONE.......you are pooping in your own nest!

I loved this shoe, except my heel slipped too much. I tried relacing to tighten the heel fit, but that did not work well enough. For many years, Brooks and Asics were the only athletic shoes that fit my wide forefoot and narrow heel. Now neither brand does.
Thanks to Zappos' superb customer service, I'll keep trying, in case those brands ever return to what worked so well for so many customers.
And I also hope those companies provide more styles with mesh uppers (like the Addiction 13). Using materials that look and wear like a cashmere sweater just doesn't cut it.

I have gotten quite a few pairs, thought the fraying on sides was due to something I was doing to them. nice but sad to see it is a problem with the shoe. happened within weeks of getting 2 pairs. my 3rd pair is holding up better but overall structure is worn out after almost constant wearing to work and gym. I have orthotics and this is the brand, type of shoe my foot doc recommended.

I have worn Brooks shoes for years and in particular the Addiction model. The last I ordered did not have the quality or comfort of prior versions that I consistently gave a 5 overall rating. The shoes were stiff, the insoles thinner, and overall not as durable. Have there been recent production and design changes?

Smaller than usual. I'm a regular buyer of the Addiction series, and I even have the Addiction 13 in another color that fits fine in my normal size, but this pair is definitely shorter.

I usually go with the Brooks Ariel but decided to try this style. . .it didn't work for me. I have very pronated flat feet that give me so many problems. This shoe was too narrow in the toe area. Think if someone had a foot that was perfectly straight, this shoe would work. Unfortunately, mine isn't. I also ordered a New Balance 840v2 and it's perfect. I now have a new favorite.

I didn’t leave these shoes on for long during initial try as the right shoe was very oddly shaped ... like a kidney bean. It’s too bad as the styling itself is quite attractive. Other reviewers are complaining about the down slide in quality of Brooks athletic shoes, and this may be an indication of that. For this reason, I decided not to order another pair so I have no idea whether this one shoe is an anomaly or the norm.

The sizing of this shoe felt right. I tried them on using my custom ortho inserts. I thought the shoe itself was really good-looking, but it just felt ... cheap. Not well padded or particularly comfortable. It was also a bit too flexible in the toe area for my needs.

Having bought several pair of Addiction 12, I was willing to try Addiction 13 when they came out. However, the quality appears to have gone down, something squeaks when I walk, and the heel cushion is flimsy, poofy, and not supportive. I was hoping they'd have an Addiction 14 out this year that would be better.

I really liked the style of these sneakers, but my toes touched the ends, even before I'd had time to stand in them for a while. The cushioning was great. Unfortunately, when I walked in them, my heel rode up like that part of the shoe was too wide. I didn't have this problem with the Brooks Adrenaline sneakers that I tried on.
