The front tips on my shoes have already started to peel off. The insoles are okay but not great I had to change them out to others. I walk a lot for work and these honestly hurt my feet at first but I've adjusted and they are okay.

my husband has been using this shoe with his orthotics for several years; I appreciate your consistency in providing a well-made, durable and comfortable shoe. We were able to order these in person locally but that vendor went out of business so I order them on line which is very conveneint.

The Addiction Walker 11.5B fit perfectly. The Addiction Walker 2 right sneaker is too tight in the toe box. As a result I had to purchase an additional pair 11.5D. Now I have to wear an 11.5B on my left foot and an 11.5D on my right foot all because Brooks had to monkey around with the design of the sneaker. They should have left well enough alone. It it ain't broke don't fix it! Now I have to buy 2 pairs and spend twice as much money.

I am a nurse working 12 hour shifts with a lot of that on my feet. I developed planter fasciitis in my right foot which was extremely painful. I was told brooks running shoes have superior support but was disappointment to find out that none of the running shoes were leather but made of fabric. In my work environment I need a shoe that is easy to clean and sanitize. I did get a pair of Adrenaline running shoes which were comfortable but keeping the fabric clean was a concern of mine. I finally ran across these walking shoes and even though they are almost but not quite as comfortable as the running shoes I am able to work with minimal pain wearing these shoes with inserts from my doctor. These shoes seem to be durable and high quality.

Not as comfy as the running shoes and was not what I expected. If I would have been able to try these on somewhere before purchase, I never would have bought them. Been having feet issues for some time now and was hoping these helped, but nope, didn't happen. The walkers are not as cushiony as the runners and not what I needed. Not the companies fault, but I surely regret this purchase.

I have been buying the Addiction Walker for years. The Walker 2 is not the same shoe. I think if you will check the reviews that I am not the only person to point this out.

I prefer the brown/suede shoe that is no longer available. I buy the shoe because I walk a great deal and require a shoe to address my severe probation. I have not found any shoe better than the Addiction Walker for that issue

I have had addiction walkers for a long time. I was upset to see a change of the tread design. I kept the shoes because they fit but I have doubts on the longevity of the sole. I also use them to walk on slippery areas so the new tread looks like it won't work for me. Only time will tell.

These have become my everyday shoe and this is my third pair. I am on my feet all day and they are very comfortable to me. They are great for those little walking trails one might have around town also. Will stick with these and hope they don't change them.

I normally do not do reviews. However, the Brooks Addiction Walker 2 it a terrible product! I have been wearing Brooks Addiction Walkers for many years, I have owned dozens of them. I wear them at work where I walk several miles a day.
This shoe felt cheap and poorly made. The size was much smaller than the original. The tread change was not for the better. The top mostly plastic part was unattractive. The price went up and the quality went way down.
If you ever bring the original Brooks Addiction back let me know.

Love the shoes. I have been wearing regular width shoes but thought I would wide in the walking shoes due to bunions. They fit great and they feel good. They have quickly become my daily wear shoe. They are comfortable and easy to walk in. They give my feed the right support and keep my feet walking straight forward.

The shoes are too heavy for walking shoes, especially when you walk 8-10 miles every morning. I am thinking of returning it. They were also a little tight. I only had only worn twice. I always bought running shoes they are light but they wear out too quickly. The last pair, inside was worn out under the balls of the foot. I may move from brooks to another brand. I think the quality of the shoes is going down.

I had the addiction walkers and just got the II series. It's the most comfortable shoe. I just turned 70 and my wife and I walk 3 miles each days. The stability and support are amazing. These shoes make that a great experience.

Not a runner. Just an old guy who walks a lot. This is my 3rd pair. Comfortable shoe that relieves neuroma in my right foot because I buy them a little wide.

Loved the old Addiction Walkers, I wore 11 1/2 4E with an orthotic and the shoe fit perfectly and were cushioned and very comfortable all day. The new Walker 2 is more narrow in the toe box and are not as cushioned. Also on the toe area the rubber sole started separating from the shoe after 2 months and the right shoe down the left side down the toe area the leather started to separate from the sole. I used to wear the originals all day without issue the new ones hurt the ball of my foot and my ankles start hurting. I also liked the old style better even though they weren't the greatest looking shoe out there.

My first pair of shoes from Brooks. Fit and materials are great! My ONLY complaint is a a "squeak" that seems to be between the insole and the bottom of the interior of the shoe. More prominent in the right shoe that the left.
