Customer Reviews Brooks Addiction Walker 2

Ordered my size, 7 1/2 W and these fit fairly well. Initially, felt slightly too long, but as I wore them, they adapted to my feet better and were comfy. I did change out the insole for a Powerstep insole to help with my overpronation. Leather uppers and the sole are stiff and will need some break-in time, but I wear them almost daily for short walks. Wanted leather uppers for the cold weather.

I wore a 9.5 SS in Munro shoes and still wear a 10 N in New Balance. I gave these Brooks Walkers a shot. They were so close, but they are a stiff leather shoe and the right shoe hit my ankle just a bit off, making it uncomfortable. (Because my feet are so narrow, I have a much harder time with fit than most people - even Munros were a bit iffy.) I suspect I could have broken them in, but they are too $$ to attempt it and I am just as happy with old New Balance White leather model 608 shoes that I have been wearing for years. So I will stay with New Balance.

uncomfortable

Heavy and didn’t flex much also the lack of pronation in the toe caused shin splints after wearing for 1 day

Guidance said to order half a size up, but that wasn't necessary. So, returning because too big. Also, the material seems a synthetic that won't breathe. And a little heavier than I would like. It's a nice shoe, but not for me. I will be going back to the Brooks Addiction running shoe that I have loved, even though I am not a runner any longer!

Not the prettiest shoe but very functional

I had heard that these shoes were great for wide feet and bunions. I ordered extra wide but I do not feel that these shoes were X-Wide. They were tight and felt uncomfortable as soon as I tried them on. The sides were very stiff with no give at all. I'm sure they are good shoes just not for my extra wide feet.

They seemed heavy, stiff and bulky.

The shoes were very stiff. I had trouble even getting them on, In fairness, I haven't had a leather tennis shoe in decades. I may not be the best judge for these shoes,

The leather is taking awhile to break in. What is the best way to get rid of the squeaky noise the shoes make? The shoes are extremely comfortable and supportive.

Tongue too long - began injuring the nerve in my ankle because it rubbed up againast my ankle. I didn't use to top iselt, then the top two islets, but the tongue is still was too long.
