Had to return them since after 15+ years of wearing these shoes they are no longer true to size. Another victim of shrinkflation.

The tounge of these shoes is faulty, either in design or material. It makes a squeaking noise so loud, my wife refuses to walk with me.

The shoes seemed quite comfortable at first but they are falling apart at the toes. The rubber covering has come loose. I would like a refund or new pair of shoes. I've ordered from Zappos for many years and have always been pleased with the products.
Please let me know what I need to do to return the shoes. Thank you!

After a lot of research, I ended up getting these Addiction Walker 2’s. A lot of reviews were for and against this product and I have to say these shoes suck. Not comfortable. The description made me think these would be decent but not in the slightest. I heard that the first iteration was better and I’d say it probably is considering how bad this version is. Consider Brooks if it’s running shoes only.

Research had these at the top of the walking shoe list for plantar fasciitis, flat feet & heel support. I cannot tell because they were too long & too wide. I wear an 8 regular but my foot is flatter & size 8 is now too short, so I went up a 1/2 size. With these 8.5 I had a thumb & forefinger space before the shoe tip. They also had space on the side that made the show pucker. Lastly, I couldn't get those darn laces to stay tied. I have no idea how other brands will fit either.

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.

Trash ?
I didn’t actually believe the reviews for these could be true, but they are.
They are so cheap and low quality, it really makes me question Brooks as a company allowing this to be sold.
The non slip is so in effective I slip all the time.
Do yourself a favor and go buys some quality shoes.

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.

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.

These shoes feel a little tight. These are actually quite unattractive as they are made of a cheap looking rubber. I was not expecting them to look like "rubber sneakers".

I have bought these shoes every year repeatedly and they were the only shoes I would ever wear due to my wide feet for the first time I'm returning a pair because they were pinching my feet badly and it was the same size that I purchased before.

The original version was the best shoe I ever wore, I bought them for years and years. Comfortable, thick enough for winter, sturdy, fantastic for flat feet. The new version is awful. Too thin for winter, uncomfortable, inflame plantar fascitis. More like sneakers than a walking shoe. They look cool, but it's style with the substance completely gone. Wish I'd known the originals were being phased out, would have bought several pairs--which I'll do if they bring back the original.
