Customer Reviews Brooks Addiction 14

Very helpful in stabilizing my over pronation issue.

Only shoe I wear. 71 years old. FitBit stats: walked over 30 million steps; 38,000 flights of stairs (passed the space station); 14,500 miles; 100 days short of 5 straight years (rain/sleet/snow/shine) without missing a day. Gone through approximately 50 pair of Addictions. All this started approximately 6 months after knee-replacement surgery. Can't wear anything else-or won't. Would never give up a great thing. My wife also wears Brooks-several different styles. Thank you Brooks!

I'm an RN that spends a lot of time walking: I cover 4 buildings, and walk an enormous distance (and of course stand a lot) on my shift. This cannot be overstated: I've logged over 13 miles on a single 10 hour shift, but usually log under 10. Even though I'm an athletic 160lbs, my expensive work-only shoes last only 6 months. I'm ok with that: shoes are sacrificial. I also wear Powerstep 3/4 under the stock insoles (plantar fasciitis) and come from wearing a competitor's shoes for over 15 years (their newest design causes pain at the instep, and is a known issue). I have not worn the Addiction 14 at work yet, but at home they fit nicely, and have a nice balance of support and cushioning. I like the tread as well. It is somewhere between road runner slick and trail tread. Nice grip over many surfaces. Normally wear a 9.5 D, sometimes 2E. Got this shoe in 2E and it seems to fit well. I do have one concern: there is distinct slipping at the heels. It isn't severe, but it is quite noticeable. This issue is mentioned in several other reviews as well. Hopefully this will settle down, or maybe I'll get used to it. But I'm concerned that blisters may occur, so I will bring a spare set of shoes to work, because if this happens I will need to swap them immediately. I also ordered a set of Addiction Walker 2. Will see how those feel soon. I will try to addend my review (if I remember...and have time...).

Boring colors but good fit and comfort. I had to order one pair in men's size and one in women's because my size and desired color in Women's was sold out, and I wanted 2 pair of Addiction 14. Surprisingly, Men's fit and comfort was better than women's, so I'm returning Women's. Also not sure if I'll keep Men's because the "Black/Red/Pearl is NOT Black; its dark gray! I know performance is more important than style, but...Brooks, please, I think both men and women deserve some more interesting and up to date color choices! Seems like we had that in Addiction 13. What happened??

It's a great fit and a fantastic shoe but I am going to have to consider returning it because I am married and all the single ladies keep swooning over my kicks. Yes they are babe magnets and I was looking for more of a dad shoe. I am not used to this much swagger.

I've been a Brooks customer for over 30 years and sold them for almost 5 years. My go to shoe the last 10-15 years has been the Beast after wearing the Addiction for years. The Beast 16 experience was so bad I almost stopped buying Brooks. I decided to give the Addiction another try and am pleased so far. Can't run like I used to but walking 25-30 miles a week and need the extra support and cushion for a bigger frame.

Great fit but overpriced. Why does the review have to be at least 25 characters.

I've use the addiction series since the 13 And I have love them. The new shoe feels nice very light I love the complete construction of the toes. However the cushion for it seems already bad like a pair of running shoes that was already running I don't know what cushion they are using now but I prefer the older models ofCushion
