Customer Reviews Brooks Addiction Walker 2

I was seeking a very firm sole for support, this shoe substantially meets my goal

Second eyelet from the top seems vulnerable to stress and should be reinforced. Addiction walkers have become very expensive. Perhaps you could streamline operations and reduce costs. Otherwise, excellent walking shoe.

I like the old style better for walking and wish you still had the brown ones available

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.

Love my new shoes. They have the comfort that I need so I can wear them all day while I am at work. Thank you.

My husband likes his Brooks. But he said this pair needs more arch support. He had to buy insoles for his.

Note, I am not a runner, these are used for daily casual wear and walking on a treadmill. Very comfortable, sturdy shoes. Reasonably grippy on wet surfaces, I suspect that if they were more grippy then the outsole would wear more quickly based on past experience. Like all shoes with punched lacing holes they are a nuisance to loosen and tighten, I decoupled the laces from the tongue and that helped a lot, but I still spend more time than I like getting pressure even from the bottom to the top of the laces. I would pay extra a model with low profile metal loops. Silver lining is that they do not loosen during the day. I appreciate finding shoes in narrow; I have a long, narrow foot with a high instep and finding comfortable, supportive shoes is a challenge.

I bought all the original addiction walkers online i could find in my size. I had 10-12 pairs stocked up since I seriously doubted I'd like the the # 2 Addition Walker as well. After using all those up, i tried some very expensive shoes before returning to Brooks. This is my first pair of the new Addiction Walker #2. I am pleasantly surprised at the shoe. Although it is not the original, I'll be staying with Brooks. Thank you. EB

Good fit and feel. But the shoes squeak when I walk. Irritating!!!

They are comfortable right out of the box but a little stiff. I wish I would have listened to the warning of going up a half size.

Nice support, little stiff to break in but very well made. Price could be better, I am pleased with product, thank you.

I just retired my Addiction1 for the 2. Seems heavy for a running shoe. I use to walk 8-10 miles per day .Great arch / roll support. Needs more heal and toe cushioning. Looks out of date compared to today's styled shoes.

Exceptionally made shoes. First time my husband has purchased this brand for work- he's on his feet on hard floors walking all day. He's enjoying them much! Hopefully they'll hold up better than some of his previous ones.

Bought these to work in food industry but I found myself almost slipping. Not 100% slip resistant.

This shoe is not a soft as the many previous versions I have worn, i.e., it is hard on the soles of my feet. Otherwise, it provides great support for my feet and ankles, which is important for a 78-year-old.

Comfortable and great for walking. Not so much for standing long periods of time.

They are a little too tight. I have to wear very thin socks; otherwise, I like them.

Order a half size more than normal; they are a tad tighter than other shoes if the same size.

I like the smooth leather like the old ones better. Have not worn the new ones yet. I buy shoes before my old ones wear out.
