Super comfortable shoes but the fabric ripped at the toe on both shoes after 6 months of normal wear.

I had hoped this would be as comfortable as my original Addiction shoe. Unfortunately, this did not work for my feet. I felt immediate pain from my healing plantR facilities.

Well made, but did not help me with the issues with my knees. I walk 2 miles a day, and am in my mid-60s. I found the Ariel 20 was much better - more support and cushion.

This Shoe is very well made and comfortable but runs small and short. I ordered it in 1/2 size and full size larger and could not even detect a size difference between the two sizes. My toes are touching the front of the shoe even in the larger one. Which means that I would ruin a pair of socks each time I wear them. Sending back.

While the shoe is comfortable, it does not eliminate the pain I suffer from plantars fasciitis. I was hoping for a miracle, but didn't happen

These are pretty comfortable, but not as flexible as I thought they would be. The sole seems to be a bit clunky feeling. It doesn't feel like a good shoe to wear for long walks.

The fit was perfect and loved the color. Alas not comfortable or supportive enough for an arthritic foot that requires orthotics. The feelwhen walking was to spongy for me. Sorry but had to return.

I've been wearing the adrenaline gts for the last couple of years because my feet over-pronates so I need support. My old adrenaline was worn out so I replace them with a 2019 but those didn't work, they hurt my feet really bad. I decided to try the addiction walker. I ordered my normal 9.5 but when I got them, I found them to be very comfortable but somewhat short and heavy. I returned them because I don't believe a size 10 would have worked.

Very cool-looking shoes, but just didn't fit right under the heel. Heel feels like it comes down hard on a flat, ungiving surface, with not enough cushioning. I'm sticking with the New Balance that seem to do a better job supporting the orthotics for my very flat feet.

This IS NOT the same as the original addiction 2! I've been wearing addiction 2 walkers for years, only shoe that works for me. I only wore these for 1 month & my knees & arch are killing me. Only reason I gave some good stars was because they were really nice looking, light, & breathable. Guess would work well for someone that doesn't stand & walk all day like I do but definitely not as good as the original all leather black, white or beige. And definitely not for more money.

Lacks arch support. Seems to run about a 1/2 size small. Mundane color choices. It would be nice if Brooks treated walking like an activity worthy of have a high quality selection of shoes rather than an after thought with one poorly designed model with bland colors.

I had to order a half size larger than my white, leather Addiction Walkers. They are comfortable for everyday wear, but not as supportive as the leather for distance walks. By the way, the new style leather is not as good as the old style. The Look. quality and support are just not what I had expected from Brooks. I?ve worn your shoes for years and was thrilled with the look, support and fit of the former style. I wish I could give this a five star rating, but I can?t. ?

The shoes are nice and well made, but I'll have to return them. I think if I were younger, I would love them, but I'm old now, and they are too heavy for me. Also I cannot manage the laces at all. Difficult to tighten and to tie. I guess I'll have to look for the velcro style of closure. :(

I love the comfort of the shoes but the heel is just too thick and my foot slips up and down. Maybe the size runs too big.

I use these shoes for every day walking. When I called Brooks to find out if they were like the leather version of the Addiction Walker I was told yes they are the same. I have to comment on that! They are not the same. The leather version is probably the best walking shoe I have ever worn. I have some foot conditions and have been through millions of shoe styles over the last 15 years. This version is not the same. It does not have the same stability as the leather. It is much more flexible and is not as sturdy. It doesn't have the same support as the leather version either. It is however, a very nice looking shoe as compared to the "orthotic" looking leather version, so that I can compliment you on. But as far as a good walking shoe it is not that.

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 didn't help -was very disappointed to have to return them.

I have purchased many pairs of Brooks sneakers in the past. Although I wear a size 7.5 or 8 in a regular shoe, I have found that 8.5 fits me better in sneakers. However, this 8.5 is small all around, and especially in the toe box. I am going to try a 9 but I do not understand why I need to be a shoe that is more than 2 sizes larger than I normally wear.
