My first pair of Brooks. I researched sneakers that are recommended for walkers and this was one of the choices. I am typically a Narrow so I was happy to see these offered in Narrow but when they came I had a hard time getting them on! Definitely narrower than expected. I don't know if this is true of all Brooks. I will try ordering the Medium though because they are light and seem like they would be comfortable in the right width. Thank you Zappos for making buying shoes a hassle-free process!

Love these shoes for their comfort, style and fit. Only reason I didn't give five stars is I feel like the soles wear down quickly. I run/walk about 18 miles a week, and need to replace my shoes about every 3 to 4 months. That being said, I still choose Brooks over any other shoe. No blisters and no numbness in my feet is well worth it.

They were nice, but I was hoping they would ease my plantar fasciitis and they didn't.

These are very comfortable and cushion-y. They run a little small; i will be exchanging them for a half size larger.

I love them . I would have given them 5 stars except the shoe laces are too short! I have been wearing this brand for several years because of my flat feet. Always, the show laces are too short in all of them .

I've worn Brooks Addiction shoes for years. I normally wear a size 9 (in some shoes 8.5), but in this shoe I wear a 10 -- a full size larger! I'm a pronator, so these are great for keeping me comfortable and stable on long walks. Each year's model gets progressively darker, which is disappointing because I prefer light-colored sneakers, but the right fit and support are more important than the color.

These felt very comfortable at first, but began to feel a little short in length after wearing them for several hours. I'm debating whether to return them for the next half-size up. Other than that, I love them.

good quality shoes, fast delivery. I find them a little stiff, but I am recovering from
a broken ankle and I had to order a larger shoe (usually wear 5 1/2 med and had to order 6 1/2 wide due to swelling. I am just beginning to put weight on my ankle after 9 weeks non weight bearing. My orthopedic surgeon recommended these shoes. All in all I would recommend these shoes

Comfortable right out of the box. Fit true. As good as my old Addiction. Buying on-line was glitch free and shipping was prompt.

The toebox is big enough to NOT squeeze my toes! Yay! But if they are wet they are slicker than hog-slobber-on-a-porcelain-doorknob on tile floors. Be careful or your running days may be a bit delayed.

This is a second review for these shoes. When I initially received these shoes, I tried them on and they felt great. Wore them around the house and had no issues. Size, arch and overall feel of the shoe was great. I have had foot surgeries in both feet and also suffer from metatarsal pain in my right foot. Last Sunday I participated in a 5K event in which I endured the worst case of metatarsal pain in my right foot. The right shoe just didn’t feel right. I still feel that these shoes are great but don’t know if something is wrong with the right shoe or just my feet. Sadly I have to return them.

The fit felt true to size. I was looking for more cushion. I usually wear Brooks glycerin or ghost and will go back to the glycerin for more cushion.

I have flat feet and have to wear custom orthotics. This pair is one of the few that I can put my orthotics in without ny heel slipping out significantly. They are comfortable and lightweight. I mostly walk, do kickboxing, and strength train. However, within just two weeks of wear, I noticed the sides were wearing on both shoes. I've NEVER had a pair of Brooks do this before. They only got worse over time and frayed open even more. Brooks was kind enough to help me with the issue, and while I love the color and comfort of these, i probably wouldn't order them again if they wear so easily. I have noticed any rubbing, etc. And I havent changed my workout style. Not sure why these ones would wear out so terribly on the sides and not my other multiple pairs of Brooks.

Eh its okay. For arch support its great but for cushioning it kinda sucks. I cant go more than two miles with this shoe before my neuropathy starts hurting. With the ariel 18 i could walk 6 miles with zero pain. I bought this shoe cause it was on sale and spending almost $200 for the new ariels wasnt in my budget. So yeah the addiction 14 is hard underfoot. Don?t feel like returning them so I don?t know what I?m going to do.
Perfect,

I've run in Brooks since 2014. I have flat feet, and I love the support and cushion. I ordered several in the past, and I could rely on the quality and durability. Unfortunately, after only 3 runs on pavement, the fabric began to tear on this pair. I love the fit, support, and cushion, but the construction and quality were an issue for me.

Everything is great except for heel support. I feel like my heels are sinking with every step, causing strain on my achilles/plantar fascia. Bummed, I really tried to like this shoe.

I ordered these because I wear a narrow size and there are only a few styles and colors available. I have had several pairs of Ghost and a pair of Glycerine which I love. I do not love these and would not buy them again. Just not a good fit for me.
