Customer Reviews Brooks Addiction Walker 2

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.

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.

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.

I have been wearing the Brooks Addiction walker for over five years. This last shoe I ordered, the Brooks Addiction Walker Two is not the shoe I have been wearing. I have returned this shoe. I could not walk more than two or three miles and my feet were killing me. I do not know what changes you have made in this shoe, but it does not work for me.

long time user Addiction Walker. Recently bought Addiction 2. Very disappointed in the shoe. Did not offer much cushioning when walking or lateral support. Will not purchase another pair. Should Brooks discontinue the Addiction Walker, will probably look to another manufacturer for my next pair of walking shoes

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.
