Fit is good. Like the look..seems lighter in weight. Looked to see if made from leather and could find that information??

Husband really likes the comfort and fit of these shoes. He has a very wide foot and these are great. They also hold up really well. This is his third pair.

The new sole seems to be less ridge than the old style sole. I can feel smaller debris under foot.

This is or my husband who has worn this style that was recommended by the store that his orthopedic surgeon sent him to aft a severe break of his foot. He has stuck with it as it feels good on his foot all day long.

AW2 is enormous letdown from AW1 which I wore for years. I ordered same size as usual and the width and volume of the shoe is much greater. I walk right out of the shoe. The extra volume in the forefoot is ridiculous as is the width of the heel. I don't know if it was mis-sized or the AW2 last is vastly different but the shoe does NOT FIT. I will try narrow but am concerned about the dramatic change. It took me months to find a supportive walking shoe that accommodated my low volume foot and now I may have to start all over again. Sigh.
As far as style and quality goes, I agree with other reviewers that what used to look and feel like a quality product now looks and feels cheap and plastic, yet the price has gone up.

Not bad. Not a true 4E shoe though. Feels like a 3E

I have been wearing these for about 5 years. This new one on better non-slip soles and seems even better made. Best walking shoe for me.

Excellent! I walk 3 to 5 miles each time. I have a narrow foot and I am hard to fit.

I bought these for my dad. He has lower back pain and balance problems. He loves them. He has seen a significant lessening in the pain in his lower back and feels like he has better stability with them. His physical therapist even asked him where he got them!

A comfortable shoe but a little heavy for my taste.

I followed the advice of a number of other reviewers and ordered a hqlf-size larger than usual. That was a mistake; I'll be exchanging them for the size I always bought the original Addiction Walkers in.

Best yet and looks better than previous version so I can wear it to the office. Next version should be a bit more dressy.

Shoes fit solid without the need to "wear in" as some reviews indicated. Comfortable and excellent for a walk.

Brooks makes a great product. Even though the styling has changed a little - it offers great support.

Unfortunately, not an improvement over the excellent original. Quite the opposite Brooks have ruined the longstanding, hugely popular Addiction walker. The footbase is shorter, toes hit the end in one's usual size. The tread that used to make the Addiction suitable for light hiking is gone replaced by an absurdly slippery sole. The tongue feels cheap and less breathable. And all of this without mentioning the hideous aesthetic of this disappointing down-date. The original Addiction Walker was my go-to for years and years. Now must search for something else, alas.

I had the Addiction Walker box from my last purchase about 2 years ago. I bought the same size and had to exchange them from a D to 4E width. Zappos are the best. Made shopping, return ,and new purchase super easy. Keeping new size. Like others said below the leather is not the same quality, but the shoe still has great support..I also have the Brooks Beast love both. They really help keep my heels straight when walking.
I'd also recommend:
New Balance, Propet, Duncan , and the Birkenstock Arizona soft footed for extra wide feet.
