Customer Reviews Brooks Addiction Walker 2

Miss the originals. Got a new pair of Walker 2, and immediately noticed one of the shoes squeaked when I walk. But more importantly, I used my original Walker with my orthotics to protect my feet and avoid foot pain. But these aren't the same, and my feet here hurting minutes into walking around in these. Shame they messed up a winning formula and we're left with worse shoes. I returned my pair.

I am a bit confused regarding the size of the shoe. I order an 11 narrow originally and it was too short, my big toe was touching the inside of the end of the shoe, The width was perfect, but I had to send them back I reorder a "11.5 narrow shoe size", Try them on, and this time the shoe width was too wide and still not enough space at between the end of my big toe and the end of the shoe. What is the right size if I wear an 11-size shoe?? Very disappointed.

I've had two versions of this walking shoe. The earlier version was better for the following reasons; 1) I feel that the soles aren't quite as firm as before, on hard surfaces although I"m not 100% sure of that because I didn't compare them "head to head". Still the shoes are really pretty supportive esp. if you use a favored insole like I do. 2) for sure, the "nonslip sole" is a bad design because it picks up small pebbles that cannot be easily dislodged. 3) the shoe laces are too long, presenting a hazard of someone tripping over them.

I expected this shoe to be more comfortable but it is not as comfortable as less expensive shoes that I have had in the past. Very disappointed.

These were purchased purely for comfort and support when walking. Although the size ordered was based on the site's recommendations, I found the toe box to be a little tight. I have somewhat narrow feet but ordered the medium width (as I always do). As a result of this, I find that I don't wear this pair very often, especially if I'm planning to walk a lot.

The width size is misleading and wide is really not that wide. The sizing runs a little smaller. It's a very snug fit.

The shoe is very comfortable, except it's not really slip-resistant. I work in a restaurant, and this outsole, unfortunately, does not maintain grip. It was almost like ice skating. I bought these for work so it's a shame that I can't use them.

They comfortable, but gave me back problems. I have been wearing Addiction Walkers for over 20 years and have been very happy with them, but Addiction Walker 2 is somehow different in how it impacts my back.

Ok shoe. Nothing great. Not very much cushioning. Squeaks when you walk (loud).

Not the greatest fit, which surprised me since I've owned several other types of Brooks shoes & always found the fit/comfort great. Buying shoes online sure isn't the way to go.

I started wearing my new Brooks walkers four months ago. I have enjoyed them overall. They are comfortable and supportive. The only concern is that the toe flap on the right shoe is pulling loose. This is disappointing and concerning. Seems like the quality is not as advertised.

Shoe feels tight. Otherwise it is comfortable. I am using it as my regular all day shoe.

These were nice but i ultimately returned due to styling and lack of breathable material on the upper. I want something that I can wear all day being on my feet that doesn't look like im gonna workout or run, but it's a bit more casual smart and can go to work in.

Need more cushion, I should order the wide size, so far their ok

Ok this is the third pair of this walking shoe I've purchased but I noticed I was slipping a little on wet surfaces outside. Then I saw the design of the sole has changeda lot. Wish they had maintained the old design , as I never had that issue with previous walkers in the same make. I guess in future I will ask to see the sole before purchasing, or look at different models.. although the trend seems to be geared more to running shoes now . You could consider there's a large number in the senior market looking for good walking shoes.
