I like these shoes !! After breaking the same foot three times, it feels like a pillow for my feet. It has a little deeper fit similar to the Adrenaline GTS and the support is great !! I will say they are beautiful in person

It was a beautiful looking shoe! It was an eight wide, however it was not wide enough!. It rubbed on the outside of my big toe on both feet. I tried different thicknesses of socks, but it didnt help -was very disappointed to have to return them.

They are very comfortable, but I purchased them as a sneaker suggested for helping plantar fasciitis and they didn't hit the mark for me with that.

I absolutely love these "Addiction Walker Suede" shoes! I got the extra-wide 2e in a size 9, in the Shark/Alloy/Oyster. The color is subtle and goes with everything. It allows the room that I need to accommodate my bunion, and I can even wear a thin toe separator/spreader with my socks on. They fit perfectly and are so comfortable! I would have to say that these are one of the best pairs of shoes that I have ever purchased.

Love them very comfortable while doing my walk I bought another pair at a retail store. I had to get a wide D, cause my feet are wide when Im on them most of the day. I bought a second pair at a retailer.

I was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis; I wore these shoes to Disney brand new out of the box, and my foot didn't hurt at all, I also didn't even do PT while on trip and was perfect these shoes are a Godsend .

Because Im a daily walker, not a runner, I switched to these shoes that give a different and better support. They also hold up very well.

Good for a wide foot. I wish the walking shoes were offered in more colors; they are never included in your seasonal color offerings or collaborations.

Overall this was a great shoe. However, the support of the metatarsal pad area did not provide the support I anticipated. So far, the Ghost is my favorite.

Best walking shoes for women! The color is ugly, but there is only one choice and it was at a great price. I?m glad I bought them

This shoe is great so far. My last pair of Brooks quickly developed a hole in the widest part of my foot, so I am trying the suede to see if it is more durable.

The support and fit are good. I also like that the styling is subdued because it makes the shoes more versatile to wear. One thing I would have preferred is that the sides of the shoe join more closely at the top, rather than have such a wide laced area on the top.

This is my third pair of Addiction Walkers and these are the least comfortable. I have the ugly leather ones in black and white. While these are slightly less ugly, they don't support my feet in quite the same way. Please update the look of the Addiction WalkersI am embarrassed to be seen in them. Use different leather (less shiny); full suede versions

The shoe would have been perfect but was too heavy for me.

I've worn the Addiction running shoe with custom orthotics for over 20 years. I would buy 12 pairs each year, so I still have one last pair I'm wearing before Brooks changed to putting GTS guiderails into the shoe and made the shoe all thin fabric instead of a mix of fabric and vinyl/leather for stability. BUT, I don't know if this is going to work for me for the following reasons: Pros: - This walking shoe is more like the Addiction of years past in that it has a mix of fabric and some viny/leather so offers more stability and does not keep stretching out - Orthotics sit flat as it is truly neutral sole/bottom - wider and "taller" toebox like the Addiction -No GTS guide rails that are like walking on hard bars and prevent the orthotic from laying flat - Brooks 90 day return policy with free return shipping so you can see if the shoe works for you Cons: -Zero arch support at all - I had to modify my orthotic to make it work -Extremely stiff and heavy compared to Addiction running shoe; no cusion or bend at all. Impossible to run in it, but it is advertized as a walking shoe. Note: I think maybe this shoe is marketed for a bigger person? For reference, I am 5 foot 3 in. and 90/95 pounds. - Extremely ugly. Brooks, just because I am older now and in a walking shoe doesn't mean I'm ok with an ugly shoe. Why can't you make the walking shoe in the same colors and patterns as the running shoes? - I had a VISA card offer to get 15% off my purchase if I made it from this Brooks Running website from Feb 27 through March 31. I have not gotten that credit to my VISA account.

After 14yrs walking with dog, I now find myself walking alone. So many pairs of shows I went thru and now that I am on my own, I decided to buy this pair of shoes and went on a walking journey. I must say that the first day I tried these on my feet were hurting and I processed a return. The next morning, I decided to give them another try. I must say, I have learned to like them. They have taken me to a 3mile walk without hurting, but if I walk beyond the 3 miles, everything hurts. I have decided to keep them since after spending on them I figured to put up with them because I no longer want to go back and forth purchasing shoes that never work. I gave these a 4star only because I wish they had more arch support. Overall, I am grateful that they have walked me on 3miles.

I held off for a long time before buying this shoe, simply for vanity. The white shoe and the design yelled orthopedic very loudly. I finally decided to try after Brooks came out with a pastel color. Still quite orthopedic looks, but its extremely stable and I love it. I trade it out with my other Brooks models for my long dog walks, and Im hoping they continue to add more color. Even walkers like pizzazz!
