Customer Reviews Brooks Addiction Walker 2

They were too narrow. I should have bought a wider shoes

Too stiff and inflexible and heavy. Worse than previous version. I walk 3 miles/day and these never got comfortable after 2 weeks of wearing daily. I returned mine

Love Brooks shoes, was very excited about the slip resistant shoe, I work in the restaurant industry and sorry to say these shoes aren't slip resistant. need help with this problem.

Only worn for 2 weeks and toe is starting to pull apart. So disappointed.

I had been walking 4-5 miles in Ghost running shoes for a few years, but saw this shoe on the Brooks website and thought I'd give it a try. In my opinion, this is a shoe for casual/mall walkers. At about 2 miles out on the first walk in these shoes (on side walks and bike paths), I started getting blisters. These shoes don't breath like running shoes-- I'd say they felt more like bowling shoes. Wouldn't buy them again; returned them and bought a new pair of Ghost runners (what I should have done in the first place).

Shoes are hot. I called customer service to verify that they are made from real leather (I was told they were). They also make a squeaky-squishy sound when I walk. If I didn?t know better, I?d say I got a knockoff vinyl brand at a discount shoe store.

Would have rated much higher but this is a noisy shoe. Otherwise this is a comfortable, good looking show.

Not a comfortable or as rugged as Walker 1 Please note this survey didn't give me the option of my size

Toe box is too tight for me and injures my big toe.

One shoe squeaks any way we can rerun them?

I wear these shoes bc I have foot problems, but the earlier design was a lot better. The new design really hurts the bone on the outer side of my foot. The problem is bad, and I wish I could have the old Brooks back.

Your company keeps dropping various styles that work well for me. I am assuming that you no longer want to sell walking shoes. The last pair I ordered I returned since they were hideous, much whiter than shown on your website. This was the first pair I have ever returned. It seems I will have to buy from your competitors in the future. It is a shame when a manufacturer doesn't know it has good products.

I loved my Addiction 1 walking shoe so much, I became addicted to walking. I was walking 8 to 10 miles per day for Six months before they completely wore out. I was walking 5+ miles intentionally per workday as a personal goal. They were beyond comfortable with a soft leather upper and a firm spongy sole. I never felt anything under foot, gravel or nuts and bolts. I had to have them again. Of course I would assume Addiction 2 walkers would only be better with vast quality improvements. WRONG!!!! Addiction 2 is totally opposite of Addiction 1, hard upper, firm, not spongy at all, sole. I feel everything I walk over. They remind me of my Red Wing safety shoe (made in china). They have a food service work sole which might be fine in a restaurant, but not in a factory. I highly recommend NOT using them in any snow or icy conditions or any shoe of this type (Addiction 1 included)!!! They are as different as night and day. I would not recommend Addiction 2 for walk or work. Bring back Addiction 1 and their quality problems, those I highly recommend ??????????

The shoe does not breath. It's very hot.

STOP your subtle changes to a product that sells well. All you usually do is make it worst!. The older version fit much better and was way more comfortable

what used to fit like a glove,(the only sneaker that fit so well) no longer does since your revamping it to #2. You could have changed many parts of the shoe, why did you mess with the fit. It couldn't be due to a lack of sales because every time I bought them I had to wait a month at least for it. Put the toe back the way it was.

The Addiction 2 is garbage compared to the original. I've worn the original for 10 years in my office 5 days a week, plus in the gym. The 2 is too tight, lacks stability and the leather is ugly and cheap. At least offer both shoes. I've ordered it in 3 sizes so that I can find a good fit, but all pale in comparison.

Have been wearing about a month and 1/2 and the toe of the shoe is already coming apart,very disappointed for 130 price point
