Customer Reviews Brooks Addiction Walker 2

The fit and the construction make this a very comfortable shoe. Even more important, it supports and cushions my foot. Even my podiatrist noticed the difference, when I began wearing Brooks' Addiction. As an older person, I consulted with a Running Store which recommended Addiction. It's made it possible for me to continue the landscaping work I enjoy, as well as my daily treadmill regimen.

I'm not a runner any,ore. I'm an old guy with bad knees and arthritic feet. I've tried other shoes and insoles but these are the best I've tried.

Good fit, great support and comfort

This is my second pair of these high ileage walkers. These are the best long term shoe Ive ever owned. Averaging 6-8 miles per day at work I wore the 1st pair every day for 17 months! Thats between 3060 and 4080 miles figuring 7 miles per day. Only the small lip in the front came loose a little when I decided to get the 2nd pair. Solid Leather! Very comfortable shoe!!

the sneakers are great as always , I would like more selections of colors and styles in extra wide. that's what I liked about brooks in almost 20 years ago

This is my third pair and I was disappointed to find out that the Addition Walker does not have the same insole as the two previous pair I have. I have some special needs concerning my feet and the Linear Platform insoles that came with my first two pairs worked very well. I wear out insoles quickly because I modify them, therefore I need a supply of adequate insoles to modify for my special needs. The jury is still out on the adequacy of the insoles in my current pair of shoes.

This would be a great everyday shoe for my husband but the shoe is too short. He wears a size 15 and his old size 15 New Balance shoes are long enough, as are the other size 15 shoes he is trying on. The Brooks was the most comfortable and supportive except for the length.

Like the shoe, very comfortable.

A podiatrist strongly recommended these shoes to counteract the foot pain that I had been experiencing for some time as a result of years of working two jobs where I am almost constantly on my feet. That was a couple years ago. My foot pain is almost entirely gone. This is my third pair. I still wear the original pair around the house. I think the new design ("2") has been improved in the tongue (more comfortable) and in the non-slip sole.

This my first pair of Brooks walkers and I really like them. very comfortable . Hopefully they hold up for a long while

This is my third pair. I have flat feet and a bunch of bad joints hanging around above them. The Addictions support my sorry carcass better than any other athletic style shoe I've found. That said, I would like to see a bit more support in the front of the sole. It seems to me that this walking shoe shows its running shoe roots just a bit too strongly.

Good they are slip resistant but they look cheaply made especially . Since they are making them cheaper looking. I would not recommend them to anyone.

Have not been worn yet, but upon visual inspection, though Brooks may have Retired the original "addiction walker", it appears that the quality and style of the replacement sneaker is cheaper looking and insoles do not feel comfortable in comparison to the original.

Extremely comfortable everyday walking shoes, better than three other brands I've tried. The extra wide size has plenty of room in the toe box.

Very nice walking shoes. I hope to get some use out of them for a long time.

I have been told they look like orthopedic shoes. I am one for comfort and not for looks or what people think. I use them for my walking treadmill at work.

They have Ruined a great pair of sneakers. There was no reason to change series 1. They are uncomfortable and cause pain in my knees when Addiction 1 did not.

Heads up, the non-black shoe is actually WHITE, NOT GREY. There is no name for Color #142, and when photographed against a white background the shoe appears grey. I just received the shoe in the mail and it is indeed white, and this has been confirmed with a customer service representative on the phone. I was very excited on receiving a grey walker and now I am disappointed.

Comfortable fit, good arch support plus heel is secure down in. A step up from first model which I have worn for years. Plus they look good.

These are very comfortable shoe. I will continue to buy them.

I?ve been wearing Addiction shoes for something like 15 years, 2 pair a year, and the Addiction 2 doesn?t measure up. My feet tend to slide forward in the Addiction 2s, and the toe area is not comfortable. I constantly have to kick my foot back to have adequate toe room. And no, the shoes are not too small. I also cycle a lot (like 2,000 miles this year) and never had problems with the original Addictions slipping off the pedals. The Addiction 2s slip off constantly, and it?s a real problem. This new model is no match for the old one. I?m going to return these, and after being a loyal Brooks fan for years and am going to look for alternatives. I urge Brooks to bring the originals back. As for what I like about these..... nothing. If you wore the original Addictions and need new ones don?t bother with the Addiction 2.

will use for walking only.
