Not sure if they fit or it's just break in period. I just returned a pair of NB that didn't fit and some other 5e shoes that felt like cardboard. Used indoors only on a Treadmill and inside the house. My beast 18 seemed to fit okay but I'm not sure. Having massive feet is a real challenge. I would like to get some kind of custom sizing or something. I haven't had good fitting shoes since I was a kid. I am a 15 4e. Probably actually a 5e width.

I have owned several pairs of Brooks Addiction Walker shoes over the years. This is my first pair of the Walker 2. They are different as other reviews have noted. Seemed to fit my somewhat narrow, low volume feet, mostly flat arches, better overall. I continue to use a half-size higher than most other shoes. It seems that some cushioning has been lost in this new version, and maybe some arch support. Stability is good. Overall am pleased, however, I do miss the cushioning of the previous Walkers.
I'd also recommend:
Saucony makes a walker that also fits my hard-to-fit feet fairly well.

This is a very comfortable walking shoe, save one thing: there needs to be some ventilation in the upper sole. Feet got a little warm in 90ish degree weather. I will explore your other options, however, to make sure there wasn't anything that I might have missed with this option, with this comfort level. Otherwise: lots of support, lots of stability!

I recently switched to this shoe from another brand ( New Balance)that I have used for the past 15 years. I wear a size 14 B so the selection of footwear in my size is very restricted. This is my first pair of Brooks shoes and I am impressed with the fit and manufacturing quality. I would have preferred an all leather upper but am satisfied with both the fit and comfort of this shoe. I will probably buy an additional pair shortly so that I can rotate the pairs of shoes daily.

Great shoe with fantastic support and comfort! (Mine are black and wish that the upper wasn't quite so shiny.)

Great shoe. I just wish the laces weren't so long. I usually have to trim off about a foot from each lace.

I gave them a 4 instead of a 5 only because they make a noticeable amount of noise when you walk, which seems to be coming from the foam padded tongue . I've walked a good 50 miles in them now and it hasn't gone away. It really detracts from an otherwise excellent shoe. Great shoe for outdoor use but too annoying for indoors . I wish they'd redesign it to make it quiet.

good hardy overall walking shoe i do 3 miles a day everyday its not raining on nature trails and asphalt or concrete. i wear shoe inserts for my high arches so the inserts that come with the shoes get replaced. only complaint i have is that they don't breath, i tried the mesh version they used to have but it wasn't as sturdy.

I love the Addiction Walker. I do approx. 10,000 steps a day and these offer great support. I prefer them to the Brooks Beasts given the agility I need as I teach. I wear the Beast for exted walks. Gave 4 stars not 5 for aesthetics. My kids call the old man shoes. Guess I'm getting older. Walk on.

Good Shoe! The quality is not as good on Thai model as the previous model. In comes in a narrow size, which is rare in an athletic shoe. Great product!

Shoe fit, support and size are adequate. The issue I have is that I wear this same shoe in white and have for over 20 years. Unfortunately, I had to order them in black because I cannot find them in white anywhere!!!!

They are a little tight in the width so I just ordered a medium t so I can try them both.

I've had many New Balance 706's but they have discontinued them with no replacement.

I Like the shoe it gives a lot of support. After looking at all your shoes that offer the higher support only one came in my size. It was not the shoe style I wanted but it was all you had. Are you going out of business?

Very nice walking shoe, still breaking in, like the square front toe area, very comfortable. Have since bought 2nd pair in black.

I don't run but have used them for walking. They have been very comfortable. They work very well with my Foot-Ups which I need to correct my toe drop. I wear them while doing exercising as well. Very nice.

I love the comfort of this model. It's my 4th pair of Addictions. However, this pair is different from all the others, because these shoes squeek with every step. I can't hear it outdoors, but indoors, when the sound can bounce back to me from the walls, they squeek ... even on carpeting. At first I thought I just have to "break them in", but I have about 20 miles on these shoes and they still squeek. This never happened with any of the previous Addictions. Were it not for that, it would have received five stars.

Comfortable, light, and good fit. Could be used for a dress shoe. Some abrasion on top of toes after initial use, but more likely from individual foot characteristic than shoe design.

Great shoe for work where I'm on my feet 8 to 12 hours daily and 10,000 to 18,000 steps a day. Slip Resistant for the perfect grip, great shoe for for people that have to have all black shoes at work. Only downfall, they aren't the most durable but where I work they make it about the average time.
