I found them hard to put on for an 11. My perfect size might be 10.5 Wide, but that was not available. That aside, once I force them on, they are very stable, which is what I was looking for. Great Brooks quality. . . When I was younger and jogged a bit, Brooks was my shoe of choice. Thus, the four starts and not five. . .

I have wide feet and wear orthotics. This is one of a handful of shoes that work for me.

I am a delivery driver and walk a min of 12,000 steps a day and these shoes are the only ones that last the longest. Most shoes I have to replace after 3 months but these last me about 5-6 months. I have to have a polishable leather shoe for work. I will continue to buy the brooks addiction walker 2s for work.

We are required to wear closed toe, closed heal (no mules), slip resistant, leather body shoes for work. I also am on my feet all day, so I needed comfortable too. These shoes checked all the boxes. I am a woman wearing the men's style for the D width.

Shoes fit great. Bought them to help with heal spur and they have eliminated that problem. the only issue I have after wearing them for 3 weeks is they make a squishing noise .

The sqeaking is a little irritating.
Is there anything you can do about that?

The shoe is comfortable good on the knees but quality is questionable I bought 4 pair so far and will buy again but one pair lasted a month the toe of the shoe came loose. I would still buy

I use these for work I need to have something that is all leather and black. I usually wear the Brooks beast because of flat feet and I need more arch support. These fit the bill. I wear size 15 in everything and 15 in this fits fine. Indeed they are old man shoes but I don’t care they satisfy my work requirement and they don’t hurt my feet.

I had read prior reviews. The fit did not seem any different. This shoe seems a bit more streamlined in appearance though it weighs the same. It does take time to break in. It still seems sturdy and stable. The strings could be longer. And you could give it a little color, it seems so bland. I can see where you trimmed the rubber on the toe.

Excellent for those that toil on their feet, especially retail workers on concrete floors. Don't mess with the moneymakers (your feet!), spend the money. They are worth it. Just wish they weren't so visually sedate.

I really like the feel and support of Addiction walker 2 shoes. The only downside is that they were creaking loudly the first week I wore them. The creaking is getting quieter. Almost returned them except that I really like the support they give me.

The reviews I read by those who had been wearing addiction 1’s lead me to delay trying these 2’s. Truth is there not the same but they’re good. My 15 M’s are a good fit.

I deliver for an Amazon DSP so I'm walking on concrete, up and down stairs, and climbing in and out of my van all day, usually about 150 stops per day. These shoes are more comfortable than most work shoes I've had. I've had mine a week now and my back, legs, and knees don't hurt as much as the boots or shoes I used to deliver in. In the next version they could add more cushioning though, I think Hoka has these beat by a lot in that department, unfortunately hoka doesn't have slip resistant so not Amazon approved.
I'd also recommend:
Hoka, Timberland Pro

My previous pair of Ascics Gel Kayonos had to be fitted 1 full size larger than my 11.5 and that was recommended on the site for these as well - proved to be accurate. The shoes are comfortable and very supportive, but my wife thinks they make me look like Herman Munster. Since I don't care much about style, that's fine for me. I did a lot of research before buying these and the consensus was that these were among the best walking shoes for flat footed people like myself, and so far, I've been very pleased with them.

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 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.
