Customer Reviews Brooks Addiction Walker 2

I'd had had high hopes for this shoe but was disappointed. I originally ordered a 12Wide ( my usual size) but found it tight on one foot I'd had surgery on a few years ago due to swelling. I sent those back and got an extra wide. After wearing them for a day, the foot I'd had problems with before now hurt for 3 days. Once that pain subsided, a toe on the other foot was sore for the next 4 days. Maybe the toe box is too narrow for my situation. Maybe I should have broken them in slower. I don't know. I don't want to bad mouth your brand. I've bought 2 pair of the Adrenalines & plan to buy a 3rd, but the Addiction just may not be the shoe for me.

Was not a fan of these. They are the first Brooks shoes that did not fit/feel good. They looked nice, however they cramped my toes and more importantly my foot hurt wearing these while walking. I'm not really sure what the problem was, however they weren't for me. The other pair of Brooks I got with this order were wonderful - like all the rest I've purchased. Happily I was able to return these. I'll stick with the GTS series.

I returned them because that were very painful...hard to wear...almost no cushioning and no soft at all

Great toe box room. Not enough padding.

Too stiff. Should have stayed with the Glycerin. If I hadn?t tried them twice I would have returned them. I only walk ( 3.5-3.8 mph) don?t run. Probably will stay with the Glycerin for distance walking and only use the Walker for rare short slow walks.

The color is not a true white, it is bone or something, but not white. Not as good looking as the original and not nearly as comfortable. I am on my feet for a solid 8 hours. The original were comfortable but the new design is not comfortable.

Wide Widths are to narrow. Toe box to small. Need to be cut on Adrenaline GTS LAST. Looks like plastic.

I own another pair of Brooks running shoes and absolutely love them. These however are polar opposites of my other pair. They are very stiff. No flexibility. Had to buy better inserts being the included ones are paper thin and zero support. I wear them in slippery areas and they are slip resistant just not as good as other shoes. I will not purchase these again

I love that these shoes are durable leather instead of the vulnerable mesh other Brooks shoes have, however the soles are not very cushy and don't provide much relief for my plantar fasciitis.

Sorry, but I am sending them back. The squeaks are just too loud. I love your Adrenalines but these Walkers are poorly designed.

Shoe insole did not fit right for a size 10

Tried a pair since the original Addiction is no longer available. After wearing them for 3 weeks at work for 'break in', they are not comfortable for being on my feet 1/2 the day. Not the same cushioning on these and there is no way they will last me 6 months like the original Addiction Walkers. Very disappointing and will not buy again.

I LOVE this shoe, but am really sad that it's not slip resistant. I work in Food Service and need a Black Slip Resistant Shoe. Overall comfort is great. But when it comes to wet floors, not so good. I really wish they were truly slip resistant. Other then that they are great. I really wish BROOKS made a TRULY Slip Resistant Shoe.

Very comfortable, well made. The shoes squeak with every step. Loudly! Leather on top of tongue rubs and squeaks with every step. Very annoying

Have worn this shoe for many years and have always loved the comfort and longevity of this shoe. Just ordered 11/22 and design has changed. Ordered 10 1/2 wide as usual but shoe is not as wide or as long as previous models. Shoe is tight and will require a breaking in period. Disappointed in the new design.

Too snug in width, resulting in uncomfort.

Shoe feels good, but unfortunately after only 3 weeks of use at work only ( I am a realtor) the rubber on the toe of one shoe is already detaching from the body of the shoe. This is not satisfactory for a pair of shoes that cost almost $200

I have been wearing brooks addiction black leather shoes for many years now. I just purchased a new pair this fall 2022. They have definitely made some changes from previous years that I am not happy about. The tread was better in the past. The leather is different as well, shiny instead of flat. The worst thing is the tongue. I think it is leather, but not sure.. but it is SO squeaky when walking. I also agree with another reviewer, they are tighter than before as well. I will probably switch brands next time if they don't correct some of the issues...SQUEAK

I've been wearing these brooks addiction walking shoes for 15 years, recently i bought a pair that were my size 11 and they were too tight, they hurt my feet so I bought a pair of size 11.5 and they fit fairly well but aren't the same quality as the shoes that I've worn for all these years. What's going on with brooks?
