Customer Reviews Brooks Addiction Walker 2

Shoes were perfect!

Excellent quality shoe for those who spend time on their feet and for those who have flat feet or issues with their arch. I haven’t found a better shoe for working long hours. Great support and great quality. The only issue is that they are not stylish for anyone under the age of 80!

I am ordering it one half size smaller.

Good shoe, just out of box and I wore them!

I loved my old Addiction Walkers, I wish they would go back to the old design. The new design doesn't look as nice and the show just feels uncomfortable and firm compared to my old ones. I wore Brooks for years, please bring the old shoes back.

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.

Fit and Size were exactly what I need. This was our first purchase from Zappos.com. It will not be our last. We are very satisfied with the experience.

I hope we still have the option to get aw1

Fits the same as the original version with a bit more style. 14 4E

I was disappointed, I go thru a set of the "standard addiction walkers" about every 6 months, they were out of my size, so I ordered the #2, they feel and look like cheap plastic, do not feel like leather. I will ask for refund.

The Addiction Walker 2 is better looking than the original (I bought both returning the latter). Stitching is more accurate (AW2 made in Vietnam and AW1 made in China). Leather on the black AW2 is nicer than the brown Nubuck on the AW1. The AW2 breathes better when walking, and has good arch support and not too soft or hard with the foam insert. The rubber sole is thick and flat, provides nice balance and does not stand out like on the brown Nubuck version.

This is a replacement pair for my BF who wore out his last pair. He loves the new version and will surely wear these to death too.
