Finally a narrow width shoe that is actually a narrow. I have double A width feet with triple A width heels. Very difficult to find shoes. My heel still lifts slightly but not nearly like other narrow shoes.

I love the Addiction Walker 2 that I received today! They are high quality leather and workmanship. So comfortable, perfect fit. And free shipping was super fast, ordered yesterday and received today!

They are very heavy shoes, Would work for in the snow or rain. But most definitely not for your everyday use.

Purchased for work in kitchen & store. They are NOT Slip Resistant. Have almost fallen several times on wet floors. They are good for arch support and are comfortable for 8 plus hours on my feet. Worn daily since purchased this summer.

Comfort right out of the box! It's SO hard to find an all-leather shoe with a wide toe box . Thank you, Brooks!! This is my second pair of Addiction Walker 2's; my other pair is white.

I know my size in these and they were a perfect fit. Plenty of room in the toe box for my double wide feet. Strong sturdy shoe. Great for walking, great for ankle stability. I've worn these for years and thank you, Brook's, for keeping them consistently high quality.

Best Support! I am a walker and I needed more arch and heel support. My husband introduced me to Brooks and I am forever grateful. Best Support!

I am in my early 20s and have flat arches, wide feet, and bunions (one removed, other one is painful and to be removed soon). I am active and walk daily for exercise. When I first put on these shoes, it was immediate relief! I ordered these in my normal size and in extra-wide width. I am in disbelief at how comfortable and supportive these are! I am pretty particular about my footwear and like a soft but not "cushy" footbed. These are the perfect combination of firm yet comfortable. So far I have only worn them at the gym for incline walking on the treadmill, but there has amazingly been no break-in period. I was somewhat concerned about how these shoes would look aesthetically (since I'm in my 20s and am not really going for the orthopedic shoe look yet), but considering that they are extra wide width in white, they look like a more streamlined version of your typical trendy "chunky" shoe. Would highly recommend these for anyone with foot pain looking for a supportive walking shoe!

I am a senior and these, so far, are great. I have some back issues and these help elevate most of my pain. Most days I wear them all day and when I don't by the end of the day, my back tells me I didn't wear my Brooks. These are firm, comfortable and so far sturdy. I will definitely buy again and highly recommend them.

I am a senior who does a lot of walking and also has foot issues and this shoe is great for me. There's enough room within to replace the insole with my custom orthotic and still have plenty of room in the toe box. The structure is firm and my feet and well stabilized and comfortable. My only gripe is that your sizing stops at a womens 12. In later years my foot size has changed from a 10 AA to a 12 B and if that doesn't stop then what do I do for shoes. I know I can try a men's size but the width and heel are larger. Please consider increasing the size selection.

Im glad I got a wide, they are a little snug! They are also very noisy! When I walk, everyone at work can hear me coming!! I bought them as my doctor suggested Brooks for my problematic feet, overall theyre comfortable with mt orthotic inserts, but not happy tall with the noise they are making! These are my first leather pair of Brooks, I dont think I would buy leather again!

These definitely do not fit like the original Addiction Walkers. They are more snug and don't feel the same as my old ones. I wore them for a week at work to try and break them in but it's not going well. Not sure if I should go with the "wide".

Fit was at least a full size smaller than what I usually wear. I couldn't tell the arch support because it didn't hit correctly. I will be returning them.
I'd also recommend:
Asics, but they don't make a narrow, black walker anymore.

I wore these walkers for about the last 3 years---ordered another 2 pair for the next walking season, took them for a short walk and ended up with a blister on the front of my toe- the shoe was short, tight, and the most uncomfortable shoe i have ever used in my life--wont be coming back--too bad because I really loved them

The shoe label said 11.5 EE - Extra Wide. If was too short. I compared it to my previous pair of Brooks Addiction Walker 11.5 EE and it is noticeably shorter. They are either mis-labeled or the sizing changed. I’ll consider an exchange after I shop around.

I had to buy all leather shoes for nursing school. I absolutely love my other 3 pairs of Brooks. But this pair is nothing like my other. They are the most uncomfortable shoes I have ever had. I will not wear them ever again after nursing school is over.

It’s a very good shoe, I have a pair of Brooks athletic shoes. The shoes are not what I thought they would be. I wanted more of a casual shoe.

PLEASE bring back the Addiction Walker in the Bone color!! I have worn this shoe for years, but I am a birder and don't want to look like I am either going to work at a fast food establishment or going to play a game of tennis! I am afraid you will lose me as a customer if you don't make the old color. Help, Brooks! The world is crazy enough. We really want our shoe color right!

Returning these. Very comfortable, but I could not tolerate the shiny leather. Just gross. Real leather? Not sure.

I wore the Brooks addiction I for years because of my planter fasciitis. I do not like the new Brooks addiction II nearly as much they are stiffer sometimes look and feel like plastic and they do squeak when walking Brooks you need to go back to the original style.
