Customer Reviews Brooks Addiction Walker 2

I had to return they were very stiff and narrow. Wanted to like because of the cold weather & dont like mesh sneakers in winter

These sneakers are incredibly comfortable to wear to work walking and standing all day. I bought them in white and have gotten multiple complements on the style of them.

Looks good in a work ensemble, but as for comfort it's a bad shoe on an 8 hour work day. No padding, no spring in the step. Would not recommend. 0/10 feet are sore every day from work.

Very comfortable upper but it's the hardest shoe I have ever worn!

Thanks, Brooks designers, for keeping a leather shoe in your line up. This shoe is supportive when on your feet for many hours at a time. Also they are easier to keep clean and sharp looking than fabric shoes. And they stay drier when walking in wet grass, etc. Narrow shoes are much more comfortable than trying to make do with medium widths. The Adrenalines I purchased at the same time are nice and comfortable for shorter periods only. The GTS leaked like a sieve walking in wet grass. My feet we completely wet within steps. And they are difficult to keep clean. I'll buy Addictions again.

I have this shoe in both white and black. I am not a runner. I have arthritis (Age:72) and have to wear supportive shoes. This shoe is comfortable, supportive and the basic colors go with any outfit I'm wearing. Wearing these shoes daily alleviates living in pain. I've been wearing BROOKS for 20years now. Best shoe for my feet which are extra wide. Thank you Brooks for making great products.

A lot stiff and very uncomfortable. Worst shoes I've ever worn. They just have no give and hurt to walk in them. I'll never buy another pair

I have Plantar Fasciitis in my right foot and my Podiatrist recommended this shoe. I placed the order and tried them on when they arrived. It was instant pain as I tried to stand up and walk, so I immediately returned them. The insole was too hard and stiff for my foot and sent a shooting pain up to my knee.

Not comfortable sent back . Will order the sneakers again

These are my everyday, everything shoes. I always have 1 pair each in black and white. I have severe osteoarthritis, including in my knees and feet. The Addiction Walker, with ties not Velcro, gives me the support I need to be able to walk without overpronating and without pain. I have only one complaint, which I've shared with Brooks a number of times over several years - please offer this shoe in the same dark brown you offer in men's sizes. I will not wear the nursing home-beige!

These are the most uncomfortable shoes Ive ever worn. My feet usually never hurt, but within 5 minutes of wearing these shoes my feet are dying. My feet even hurt when Im wearing them sitting down and I dont know how thats even possible. I normally never write reviews, but dont waste over $100 on these shoes like I did.

They came in quickly, but they run small.

I need a supportive everyday shoe for overpronation and plantar faciitis. I wear Brooks Glycerine GTS and they are pretty comfy. But need a pair of plain white shoes so got the Addiction Walker. Said max support. The shoes are so stiff I cant tie them tight enough for side support. Leather is so stiff and thick, almost rubber like. The color white is more a pale yellow against white socks. Im thinking I have to return them since it may take all summer to soften up if they ever do and will also be too hot. I had question a Brooks rep about sizing and she said to get my usual 8, and hard to tell because of the stiffness if I should have gone up a 1/2 or gone wide.

Excellent traction compared to my New Balance 928s. Very comfortable even when worn right out of the box. I use them as my walking shoes as they are good on any surface including gravel and wet sidewalks

I bought these for work. Its 2 weeks now and theyre still not broken in. I work 6 days a week,8-10 hours a day, standing up/ walking no sitting. So they should have broken in by now.

I love brooks! I recently broke my toe so I gave up the mesh and went w leather for more support. These did not disappoint - very supportive and look great!

I bought the walker to Help with my plantar fasciitis . I have worn them for 2 weeks and still have the same pain. And they are not slip resistant

Based upon reviews I bought wide and I'm glad that I did, otherwise my bunion would not fit. The shoes are heavier than I expected and kind of stiff, as many reviews state. They also aren't "cushy"; I had to add a 3/4 insole to help. I have worn the shoes on walks for about 30 miles now and my pace is noticeably slower than normal - I'm figuring that is due to the weight of the shoes. They're too expensive not to wear, so I'm determined to accept the additional weight as an additional workout aspect. I'm glad I bought the wide version as it does successfully accommodate my needs and I hope to get many, many miles out of these shoes, but I do silently wish that they soften up a little.
