If the shoe was a walking version of a running shoe - light, flexible, and comfortable I would have kept it. But instead it is very clunky, like a boot, and awkward to walk in. When a good running shoe is worn you don't even notice you are wearing it. The addiction walker 2 was very obvious on my feet and I felt as though I was carrying it around. It is too big.

This is the worse sneaker I’ve ever bought from you. It’s made out of plastic. I’ve been buying before this another style made out of Full leather. I’ve been buying from you for years. Because of this cheap plastic, I’ll never buy from you again..

First of all this is my fourth pair of these shoes but the first black one. I always bought the brown and the quality of the black shoes is questionable. The material seems cheap almost like vinyl. This will be my last as the quality has dropped but the price has not.

I was looking for a shoe that would be good to stand on my shop floor (concrete). The adrenalin did a far superior job.

The shoe is very comfortable fits and feels great . The piece on the front of the shoe has come off the shoe. I am going to bring it to a shoemaker to have it glued back on . That is the reason for 2stars . I would have given 5 if the piece didn't come off

Whoever made the decision to replace the Addiction Walker with the Addiction Walker 2 should be fired and replaced with someone who cares enough about the customer to bring back the Addiction Walker.

Very stiff, unlike leather. Voluminous space in the toes caused an abrasion.

Too femine looking. I really do not care for the new design. My wife and I both bought a pair and the Male and Female pairs are exactly alike. Not good.

Ok but a poor substitute for the 9.5 ee addiction walker that I've been buying for 10 years

Well made shoe but they were too tight for me. The footbed was not high enough.

Well made shoe but the foot box was not high enough for my feet, they were way to snug.

Haves used Addiction walkers for years. Expected 2 would be even better but was disappointed. If Addiction walker is discontinued, I reluctantly would give up the Brooks brand

I have neuropathy in my lower legs and feet. The Addiction Walker has been the most comfortable shoe on the market for me for the last 8-10 years. I have owned 20 pairs with great satisfaction. The new model, called the Addiction Walker 2 does not measure up to the previous model. There is less cushioning in the forefoot. Also the comfort/quality of the new tongue and the quality of leather are subpar. The insole is improved.

The soles on this new version don't have as much tread as the original. I have already fell down once. I will not buy them again

It was a 1/2 size too small. Had to return it. Great return policy at Zappos.

Returned shoes and purchased a pair of addiction Originals. Addiction 2 shoes are not comfortable not properly sized and appear to be cheaply made. You should continue to make the original Addiction shoes.

Not particularly comfortable, and pretty darned ugly. Previous generation looked pretty cool. What happened?

I first tried these a half size larger than my usual size, which is what I took in the Addiction 1. Those were too small, so I went a full size larger. That might have been OK, but the shoes in the pair I received were effectively two different sizes. They were both marked 10, but one was visibly narrower than the other and felt tighter and a bit shorter overall. (One of my feet is smaller than the other, so I'm used to shoes in a pair fitting differently, but this was on the smaller foot. The other shoe fit the foot OK, but still not as well as the Addiction 1.) Cosmetically, the "grain" on the leather upper was barely visible, like it had been written on a sheet of paper above it and this was the ghost image on the sheet beneath. That's not good.

With shoes that are fit to size I wear a size 10.5, but these shoes were definitely small.

Too small, going larger size because it was "recommended" still did not help. The shoes follow some other unknown scale because I wear a 9.5 to 10, and got this in 10.5 but it felt far too small still. Not true to size at all.

These shoes squeak very badly. I am currently wearing the same shoe but there was not a squeaky problem when I bought them. WHY ? Very disappointing as I do not want to go buy another shoe. I also have a Black pair of Brooks.

Fit poorly. My pinky toe kept rubbing on side. Not wearing shoes that hurt.
I'd also recommend:
Order 2 sizes up it seems
