Customer Reviews Brooks Addiction Walker 2

I was upset excited because I have a pair of brooks shoes for my everyday use and wanted a pair of them with the same comfort but just something I can use for work as a server. I have to go into and out of the kitchen multiple times a day and every time I walked into the kitchen it felt like I was on ice. Needless to say I'm rather disappointed. Why can I find any comfortable shoes that do half way decent and being slip resistant.

Unfortunately, this shoe was a bad choice for me. It felt like I had a 2x4 strapped to my foot. I broke the shoe in over two weeks, but it never felt right. Near blister on my right heel, bruise on my left second toe, and always stiff.

Very disappointed ,you have obviously changed the Inside of the shoe the arch is different my husband tried to wear them but feet hurt him tremendously we will be returning the shoes He has been wearing these shoes for many years and we be ordering them every year or two and they've always been the same we recognize they look different immediately but thought maybe it was cosmetic but the first day that he wore them they hurt his arches which we've never experienced before you're going to change the shoe you should call it something else He wore them for a week and it's only gotten worse so we will be returning them

My old pair of Brooks walking shoes are better than a new pair. The material didn't feel like leather. The bridge of my toes were too tight and they squeeked. Sent them back.

What happened to the Leather Addiction walker? It just isnt right that Brooks would have such a great shoe that they just stop making. What a shame. Looking elsewhere for something so I can function..aggh.

They ran smaller than said so they don?t fit

Very noisy shoe. Too small in toe area (cause blisters on big toes). This was a size 13 4E. Used for 9-10 mile walks daily.

To me it's just not a comfortable shoe. I have tried wearing them several times and still just not comfortable. For what they cost I feel like there are much better options out there. I tripped and fell the first time I wore then and it put a bad scratch on one of the shoes so I can't return them.

Squeaks under the laces. Loud creaking/squeaking with every step! I will be returning them,

I have bin wearing this same shoe for years but now I broat 2 pares you made a new design I am in massive pain when I wear it

Bought the newly designed shoes, had to send them back. Toe box was too small. Bought the mesh shoes and they stretched a little too much and cannot wear them for very long. I am not sure why, after 10 years of wearing these shoes and always having them comfortable, supportive, and stable, Brooks felt they had to modernize and update something that was working well for their customer base. If "it ain't broken, don't fix it". Brooks made a big mistake in changing this shoe. It is a walking shoe and did not need a design change. I hope you go back and rethink this and bring back the old style. Lost a long time customer on this change.

The Addiction 2 walker is a total disaster. I wore the Addiction 1 for many, many years and was totally satisfied with both the fit and finish. It was so comfortable right out of the box and fit perfectly. The Addiction 2 will not fit my foot comfortably no matter what I do. My usual size of 11.5B was too tight, my toes were rubbing right up against the front of the shoe. I then ordered the 12B a half size larger and my toes are still rubbing up against the front of the shoe. I even tried an 11.5D and that didn't fit right either. Every time I fitness walk with this shoe my feet are absolutely killing me because my toes are being crunched. I am so frustrated and aggravated that you changed the design and totally ruined the fit of this shoe. Why couldn't you just leave well enough alone with the Addiction 1, it was perfect in every way just the way it was. I don't know why you tried to fix it when it wasn't broken. I know that it is a fool's errand to suggest this but I have wishful thinking. Why don't you just discontinue the Addiction 2 and bring back the original Addiction 1 or at the very least offer both the Addiction 1 and Addiction 2.

Long time user of the Addiction Walker... but the changes made to the non-slip tread of the Addiction 2 make these shoes bad at holding sand/dirt and tracking all over, also the tread is very grippy and squeaks often like a Tennis shoe on the court. Not a good every day wearing shoe and will not buy this model again... please bring back the old Addition sole pattern.
