I am a runner with an injury to the heel . These were the shoes of choice to keep me running while I recover ! They are not fast but they help with the pain. Thanks to the Running Store for recommending these shoes.

never have been a runner. But I do walk for health reasons. I'm 61 and over weight with weak ankles that turn in slightly. A few years ago I limped into a specialty shoe store in Boise Idaho. They put a pair of Addictions on me and the pain was gone! I have worn only Addictions since then. It's the way the soles are made. The only thing I don't like is the color choices. Hot pink? Really? oh well.

I walk, I don?t run. I have bad ankles , stability issues and extra wide feet :( But.. I love these! I don?t like black so much but adore the pink so I?m good with the colors. Would love to see more white, purple, pink sneakers in the EE widths. These shoes are very comfortable and my custom orthotics fit perfectly. It has been a long hard road trying to find comfortable shoes in my EE width and these orthotics I have to wear but am so happy I found the addiction finally ! I have been wearing these a few weeks to be sure and yep love them. Roomy toe box yay! I just ordered a second pair. Thank you Brooks!

Switched from adrenaline to addiction, primarily because it was on sale. I have a very narrow foot, have foot problems including flat feet and wear an insert. So far so good. Not sure it as comfortable as the adrenaline, but have not really used it as much. My biggest complaint is that the narrows seem to only be made in boring gray. Not a runner, a walker.

These shoes are very attractive. I like the greyish color I purchased. The box toe is roomy and the arch fit is good. They do not look like boats on my long feet (11.5) and are flattering. The heel space, however, is a bit loose. Because my feet are arthritic, I could use an even softer insole. Maybe Brooks could make a special insole for this purpose, which could be added or replace the current insole. In all, I am very pleased with the look and comfort of these shoes.

The shoes are fine, the color is boring but I can NEVER find a cute pair of shoes in my size (10N). I wish there were more selection for people with narrow feet.

I've been buying Brooks Addiction since 2007. I love the cushioning & stability the shoe provides, since I pronate inward as I walk. I use them for walking & fitness classes, they usually last 18 months. Also I can order it in a narrow, but The Addition 14 seems wider than my previous pairs. There's some slipping in one heel but I'll be keeping them anyway.

The Brooks Addiction 14 seemed very well made and comfortable, but after I laced them up and took a step, I nearly walked right out of these shoes. I have a narrow foot and very narrow heel, so these didn't work for me.
I'd also recommend:
Birkenstock, Mizuno Wave Horizon, Saucony

Finally found the right size in the Addiction 14, but had to go up a half size to get there. Overall the shoe is much stiffer than the same model purchased 8 months ago. It took some getting used to, but should work OK. The mesh on the last pair ripped after just 8 months of wear. Hopefully this pair will last a bit longer.

True to size - but I did order half size larger. The color is nice, but I am wondering how I’m going to clean them! Light gray will get dirty fast. Brooks needs to offer more colors in narrow sizes.

Saucony

This was a cushiony and comfortable shoe to wear but I needed a shoe with more stiffness and support because of having had two foot surgeries. I was hoping it would offer the same support as the leather Brooks Addiction Walker which I have but I was looking for a more casual look with Brooks 14 meshed fabric exterior. It was too cushiony for what I needed but I imagine those without my foot issues would find it to be comfortable. The B width provided a very roomy toe area for my narrow foot.

Brooks continue to work well for me. I replace the insole with orthotics since Brooks don’t have enough support for me. I think the shoes would be softer with the original insoles. Good motion control for my bad back and bad knee during my daily gym workouts. Thankful for extra wide to fit my feet.

They were much tighter when I 1st put them on. After 8 hours, I was eager to take them off. I thought I'd need to return them, but the 2nd day they were more comfortable. THE SHOESTRINGS ARE WAY TOO SHORT! I CAN'T TIE MY SHOES! Please send me a proper pair. I've never had this problem before. I need the support of shoestring support/safety. Please replace the shoestrings - that match the pink color of that Addiction she. THANKS!

I really liked the adddiction sneaker but I returned it because the right foot sneaker was sliding on the back when I walked, which is pretty unusual because my right foot is a little larger than my left. It was almost as if it had been stretched out. I was told to order another pair and return them, I did returned them but decided to try the Adrenalne in the same size.

I’ve worn Brooks for years. While I love them, I also wonder if I can find something that feels more secure on my foot that provides more arch support. I can’t really run anymore after a spinal fusion but I put many walking miles on. They only last 4-5 months before I really need to replace.

I have pretty narrow feet and wear orthotics in my shoes. Even with leaving the original foot pad in and my orthotics in the shoes, the toe was still too wide. It allowed my feet to slide around. I have worn other version of the Addiction for years and they have been fine. I also ordered the Brooks' Ghost tennis shoes and they fit well.

I need a rounder toe box to accommodate width at the ball of my foot and short toes. Even with the Addiction feature, I needed a wide to make them work and went up 1/2 size. My foot is not wide overall, just wide at the ball. The lacing allows adjustment at the ankle for a good fit. Have worn the Addiction for many years and have always used an insole for my high arch. This version also needs the insole for all day comfort.

Great shoes but they are really "squeaky" inside when I walk. Also, we selected two-day shipping but it took them six days to arrive. Not a big deal.
