Really like these shoes but they are a bit heavy because they are leather.

Good for wet weather.
Rather stiff to walk in. Trying to soften them up by using them.

I got a 1/2 size larger as others mentioned but it was too big. It kept slipping in the heel. Also the shoe is a bit heavy compared to the running shoes which are lighter. I will try the running shoes, when/if they have my size.

Comfortable right out of the box, but they are narrower than the Brooks running shoes I've worn in the past. This is the first shoe I got for fast paced walking. It feels different, flat sole so it doesn't have spring in the step. I'll go back to a running shoe next time. Looks a little clunky, not as stream lined as a running shoe.

I bought 'wide width' in these shoes but they fit more tightly than my 'medium width' Brooks. They have a thicker sole with a great deal more cushion, but they are also much heavier.

It had a small bump on front of one pair .
. I didn't like it.
I bought as gift and gave that to my friend anyway.

Very pleased with the fit. The 9 Wide is a real "wide" and doesn't cheat on the width like other shoes. A bit stiff but expect will soften with use as my other Brooks walkers have. Will be using for touring in England.

The left shoe was giving me some problems. I moved the padded insert and it seemed to help.

I love the look. I wear an 8.5 wide, but will have to settle for a 9 wide, because I need more room in the toe box. The toebox is wide enough, but not high enough. It presses down on my toes and becomes very uncomfortable. So I only wear them for a few hours at a time, when I want a nicer look. Otherwise, I continue to wear my old Ariel 18 in size 8.5 Wide.

This shoe fits a little smaller than the Brooks white leather size 7.5 addiction walker. Other than that this shoe along with the leather Addiction Walker are the most supportive and at the same time nice looking walking shoes I have found.

The Brooks Addiction Walker Suede seemed well-constructed. I ordered the Alloy/Oyster/Peach color which was good looking - probably better than other colors according to reviews I read. I usually wear an 8 or 8.5 and ordered a size 9. This was the correct size. I didn't like the way I walked in it; I think the correction for pronation was not appropriate for me. There is a wonderful amount of cushiony feeling - not so much as to make it feel unstable but enough that walking on hard surfaces would feel good. Arch support was minimal for me but I use Birkenstock orthotics which fit well in these shoes. Definitely a shoe to consider; just didn't work for me. The Brooks Ghost 14 worked great for me.

I needed a size 9 when my normal shoe size is 7.5-8. Ran way small, but great arch support and underfoot cushion. Just order a full size up.

I ordered 1/2 size larger than usual after reading the reviews and I'm glad I did. The wide wasn't quite as wide as I expected, but I'm afraid the extra wide would be too loose in the heel, so I'll keep these. The cushioning is great for my plantar fasciitis.

Shoes feel a bit heavier and clunkier than the Addiction 14 that I typically order but can no longer find. Not sure how much I love them yet.

I usually wear 9W or 9.5M.
In the Brooks Walkers I wear 10W. I wish they were prettier, a brighter color would be nice..but they fit good for walking on the treadmill. I am recuperating from injuring my leg and back a few months ago and already I can tell they are making my leg feel better.

I’m pleasantly surprised these shoes are more comfortable every day and work good for me on the treadmill. I’m not used to wearing closed in shoes but I hurt my back and leg and my daughter recommended them to me because of the very good support they provide. I usually wear 9-9.5 but ordered up to 9.5 wide which seems to be the right size so far. I’ve only worn them 3 days.

Nice shoes. I bought the same size I alreadyh ave for Brooks shoes (10 1/2 which is often hard to find), but it was too short. I may try the next half size larger next time.

Just got my new shoes. They're not kidding about suggestion to order half size up. I usually wear 8.5 so ordered size 9. These fit just about right. Would have had to return a size 8. Too soon to tell about overall comfort, etc.

It was very comfortable and slip resistant. However, after just a year using it I noticed a hole where my left pinky would be. I was terribly upset by this because I practically wore it only in my house during the Covid-19 quarantine. Also, it was the most expensive sneaker that I have purchased and expected it to last much longer.
