Weird tongue and lacing pattern. I have a high arch and couldn't even get my feet into them. Send them back next day.

The box said size 8 (what I ordered) but the shoes inside were size 8.5. They obviously had been tried on before, and the box also included two sets of different insoles. No clue what those were supposed to be.

Fell apart in less then 2 months. Had to return 2 pair of these and giving up on them. Wore holes through material in the cheap uppers, on top, and around foot opening?these are definitely not made as good as they used to be. Materials used now are terrible, cheap. But cost of them has soared. Think I?ll look at other brands, which I?m disappointed in doing, cus I liked the extra arch support and wide options and have been loyal customer for years and years. Looks like all their shoes have been getting reviews just like this unfortunately.

I've had 3 pairs of these shoes two of which I had to return due to the collar disintegrating. The 3rd pair I used fabric glue and some sewing to stop the tearing. That worked for about two months but now they look horrible and are totally falling apart. It's really upsetting because due to tendonitis and feet that supponate, there are very few shoes I can wear and these were comfortable. Don't know what I'm going to do since this seems to be happening with other addiction shoes.

Terrible drop in quality. Insoles flimsy and uncomfortable, worn through in 6 mos. All the cushioning and support that I have always loved about Brooks over many years has disappeared. Made the mistake of buying two pairs due to past happiness. Huge waste of money for an inferior product. Broke my heart- bye bye Brooks!

Started with the Addiction 13 strictly for walking and they felt great but after a month both shoes began to fall apart on the top near the inside of the ankle. I took these back to the Brooks Trailhead store in Seattle and exchanged for the Addiction 14 and less than a month later it is happening again. I've been wearing Brooks shoes for over a decade and have always found them to be high quality but this is the fourth pair in a year that have started to fall apart within only a month of wearing. I feel the quality has gone downhill. I will likely be taking this most recent pair back as well and seeking out another brand unfortunately.

The Brooks shoe that was delivered to me was a woman's shoe, not the male shoe that I ordered. When I attempted an exchange for the male version, the shoe was out of stock.

I have worn Addiction sneakers for many years. I have a narrow foot and it has always fit. Addiction 14 is much wider in the front. If I wanted a B width there are plenty of choices. The insole is also much thinner and doesn't have the same amount of cushion in the heel as the Addiction 13 and 12. So disappointed. Hoping the next Addiction will be like the 13.

I have been most disappointed with the wear of these shoes. Already the top left shoe has tears in the toe area. I purchased these on March 24, 2021. The top is going to wear out way before the bottom does.

The Brooks Addiction 14 looked like a nice gym shoe. Description said the they are for overpronation which my foot Dr recommended for me. When I got them they did have a lot of room in the medium width toe box but hardly any cushion. The shoe felt very stiff. Back they went.

My wife used these shoes less than 1 month and they developed a hole in the mesh near the big toe. Very disappointed.

I purchased the Addiction 14 and it is very uncomfortable to my flat feet. I do not know what it is, but I have worn these shoes for 2 weeks and they are no more comfortable now, then when they first arrived. I have had the Addition several years ago and no problems. My last Brooks were the Adrenaline GTS20 and they are very comfortable and supportive. Next purchase will be the Adrenaline.

These shoes are so uncomfortable. I ordered the Ghost 13 but they didn't have them in an extra wide shoe, they were really comfortable but to small so I went with these because they had the extra wide and I absolutely hate them. Don't buy them. A waste of my 130 dollars. How one shoe from the same brand can be so comfortable and the other so bad, I don't even know.
I'd also recommend:
If you want Brooks and don't need an extra wide, go with the Ghost 13.

It was recommended that I get the 11.5 size but it was too long for me. My foot was sliding into the toe.

This new model feels cheaply made, too much netting and no support on the sides. I am so disappointed! I've been using Brooks for almost 4 years and this is the first return. Please go back to something more like the 12-13.

I've been running in Brooks for decades. I never thought I had wide feet and my two previous old Brooks running shoes are the same width as their new double EE now - which are too roomy through the middle. But the D width is too narrow. I'm a size 6 ladies / 3.75. So sad. Not sure what happened in their manufacturing and design. And the colors are so drab now. Sigh..
