The shoes were not comfortable for my sensitive feet. There was less padding than in my current Addiction 13's. They felt less flexible and cushioned. They would have been more comfortable with a softer insole.

They are going to be returned. They look very nice and have good arch support but they are too short and narrow. Compared to my usual New Balance shoes, they are a full size shorter and narrower. I tried to reorder in larger and wider size but the were out of stock.

I've worn Brooks Addiction Walkers for a few years now. This new version is AT LEAST one size smaller--it felt more like two sizes. I basically had to remove the laces to fit my foot inside. The arch was in the completely wrong place. It was a size 11 but felt like a 9. Switching back to New Balance.

Don't know what Brooks has done to their shoes but they just do not fit the same. Have been wearing them for years and can not find a pair that fits decent.

Too small, even though I ordered my usual Brooks size of 7W. There is not much arch support in this style. I will stick to the Adrenaline line which work well for walking or jogging.

The new sole design traps dirt and is very hard to clean. Small rocks or sand get stuck. I have worn Addiction Walkers for years, and will look for a different anti-pronation shoes because of the new sole design.

This shoe seemed to have the cushioned sole I was looking for but the support was totally inadequate. I tried the shoes on and walked around the room and felt like my feet were so loose in the shoes that they were sliding in the mid to forefoot with no medial- lateral support. They were my correct size but the lack of support threw my gait off in a weird way. I have never tried an athletic shoe that felt less non supportive. I have worn Brooks for years so I am disappointed and returned the shoes. Thanks for considering my feedback.

I have worn Brooks exclusively for several years and have always been pleased with comfort and quality. My latest purchase has been a disappointment to put it mildly. The shoes are uncomfortable after even a short time of walking. They feel like there is no padding in the heel area and the shoes are stiff and inflexible. Every step I take results in a popping sound. Sorry...the shoes look good but they're just not!

Though I began ordering Brooks shoes in a half size larger last year and thought that would suffice, I should have ordered a 10 instead of 9.5. I was not happy with the appearance, either - very dull in color and style. I was also unhappy with the packaging. The outside box was not well sealed. The inside box was upside down and did not have a band around it to keep it closed. There was no tissue paper inside the shoe. There were actually what look like dog hairs inside the shoes. Zappos usually provides pristine packaging as well as an excellent product. I am very disappointed.

These are not Addiction Walkers. They are sneakers with a gel inserts inside. I chose the original Addiction Walker for its extreme stability. The gel insert makes your joints bounce up and down causing aches and pains. Very disappointed. I have a feeling this is a preview of the Addiction Walker II.

I usually wear a 9 or 9.5 W and these 9.5W Brook Addiction walkers are at best a medium width, with too wide heals, and an 1/8 inch too short. This same sizing exists this year in Brooks, Abeo, and HokaOne - all of them returned. Why are the specs so consistently off in that Asian factory? All shoes I bought 6 - 12 months ago in size 9W and 9.5 W still fit me. Not this year. With much searching I found an ASICs Kayano 25 (last year model) that fit.

I'm giving only 2 stars because when I asked Brook's website to recommend their softest sole shoe this was the recommendation and it's certainly not. The other thing about the shoe is that it does hurt my heel some. And with that said I also ordered my girlfriend the same shoe, and she's very happy with the shoe.

The insole has cushioning that is too stiff. The outer sole is rigid and not what I expected for a shoe that should be flexible while walking. I have several pairs of Brooks shoes and don't understand why this shoe is inadequate.

Loved the addiction running shoes for 20 years, but then they became all thins fabric with hard "guide rail bars" that ruined the shoe. So, I tried the Walker version Pros: custom orthotics Sit flat Cons: Hard shoe that is so stiff it doesn't bend with your foot and causes leg pain. Lots of friction. It's like walking on sand paper where the soles of my feet were tingling and burning at the end of each short 1/2 mile walk. Hot shoe. Does not breathe

I love the look of this shoe but found it very uncomfortable. I thought that maybe they just needed extra time to break in- however they continue to hurt my feet. They also have zero grip on wet streets. Pretty disappointing
