Customer Reviews Brooks Addiction Walker 2

The shoe is a nice fit, but it is really stiff and not a very good running shoe in my opinion. Ican only use it for walking, but it is still not a very flexible material.

Comfortable shoe- great for walking and everyday wear. Would like the option to have the previous tread since the current tread allows sand and dirt to be trapped and tracked in from outside.

The Addiction Walker 2 shoes have been my preferred walking shoe for over 10 years. They are very comfortable and provide the support my feet need. I can wear the shoe all day long without experiencing fatigue or discomfort.

False advertisement. Not non slip. Almost broke my neck several times wearing these shoes. I work in a restaurant as a janitor, Host, & expo. Worst experience ever with shoes. I slipped so many times on every floor surface and every I went even after work. Like walking on oil. Absolutely horrible experience and very disappointed in Brooks.

These shoes give me blisters. Over the years I have worn New Balance, Nike and Vionic with no problems. But these shoes have caused painful blisters to form on my arches.

Very comfy shoe and I use it as a work shoe as the RED WINGS caused my Achilles pain to come back as they did not have the heel drop like this shoe does. I needed a leather shoe for work and this fits the bill and has help my Achilles pain start to go away. The only think thatI would like better is the slip of the sole it is not really slip resistant like they say it is so if they fix that it will be a good work shoe!!!

This is my second pair after using my first pair for over two years walking daily of about 2 miles. This first pair have held up well but have need regluing of the sole in the front several times recently but are still serviceable. These shoes are sturdy and look nice enough to be used for more formal causal dress. They because of their support, have been part of helping my lower back pain disappear. They may not look fashionable as some others but they have been excellent walking shoes.

Excellent shoe. Very good support on the sides.

Too heavy. Soles too smooth and prone to slipping.

I have enjoyed wearing these walking shoes. They are comfortable and I need support because of flat feet. Mainly wearing them with my work clothes or suits as its the style.

The shoes squeak so badly that I dont wear them. A total waste of money.

Sole is too hard. Uncomfortable to walk. Grip on wet pavement is not good. Not made for walk in city.

I love these for walking as intended. Lots of support, also good for standing. Small issues, as mentioned in other reviews they are snug so since I normally wear an 8.5 I ordered a 9 which fits perfectly on me. They will also do well in cold weather, no mesh! They do make some noise, but my hearing is going anyway and I wasn't planning on doing much sneaking up. Also as noted by others, I would readily buy a pair in brown.

I actually use these shoes for work and they have been a big difference maker for me being on concrete for 9 hours a night

Great shoes with a perfect fit for me. The only issue is that they can get a bit hot. Otherwise great construction quality and good arch support. 11.5 Medium.

Shoe is fantastic. Sturdy and has tough leather that rejects scuffing. However, I am taking one star off because the shoe squeaks like crazy. The problem is the material that the tongue is made out of. The laces rubbing on the tongue when walking is very noisy. It's like wearing a cowbell.

Once I got in my 60's I started experiencing foot pain, especially in the forefoot. Shoes I used to wear didn't work, even with a custom orthotic. So it has been a struggle finding shoes that do work for walking and all day wear. Something firm, but with a little extra (but not too much) room in the forefoot. These walker showed up in may lists of "best walking shoes". I paid attention to reviews that indicated they run a little small and a little narrow, My usual size is 11 or 11.5, regular width. For these I went with the 11.5 2e width and they are perfect. I also like that they are firm soled and not cushy as I have noticed my feet hurt more after a day in a soft, flexible cushy shoe. I have only had these a month so I can't speak to durability. They are toasty and I live in a cold climate so that is good. I just spent 4 days in Seattle walking all over the city wearing these every day with no foot pain!

Very good support since wearing these shoes the past 2 weeks many of my pain areas have disappeared. The Arthritis and bone spurs on my left foot have MOSTLY disappeared.

Heavy, squeaky, stiff and uncomfortable. Haven't been able to break them in over two months. So stiff that my feet hurt. I love the addiction sneaker but these are going back. Very disappointed

A near perfect fit and very comfortable. Could be a little lighter but that is not a major issue. I love this shoe.

Very comfortable shoes that make walking a breeze

These are really comfortable, wear well, and look nice. I don't run...but I'm on my feet all day, every day, walking. I found these from a recommendation from a runner friend, at a local store. My only complaint is that I wish I could still get them in dark brown, too. In brown, I could get away with these as business casual, believe it or not, and I prefer brown to white anyway. In a dress shoe or most athletic shoes I'll wear a 10.5 US medium. In these, I prefer an 11 medium (D). They're snug but not at all tight. I have a long stride, so most walking shoes will pinch the back of my heel, but these are low enough in the back that they don't. Plenty of clearance in the ankle area, too.

These are not my favorite Brooks compared to my other Brooks. They're not comfortable and after an 8 hour shift , my feet hurt. What's bad about my situation is I work in an office setting and walk about 1.5 miles a day. Also, they squeak whenever I walk and in Louisiana, they're hot. I guess I should have bought the suede to combat the heat and the squeaking. I do not recommend. Maybe with better insoles they would perform better, but then why buy them if the insoles need replacing? I also find the toe box slightly tighter than my other Brooks.

I am returning the shoes I was very surprised because usually I can put a brand new brooks and they feel great walk 5-6 miles easy not with these very hard shoe not comfortable at all

The first shoes I get are extra wide and they are super comfortable for my nursing work, I exceed my expectations, in addition the customer service is excellent
