These might have been good for me except for two things: I am looking for a shoe with enough width/toe box depth to accommodate an orthopedic insert comfortably. Also, I really did not like the look of the shoe.

These run short. I can wear an 11 or 11.5 comfortably in some shoes. I need at least a 12 in these; am returning these size 11.5 Addiction Walker2 shoes.

I bought these shoes because I have a current health condition that makes my gait unsteady. As soon as I put on the shoes, I felt like my feet were cradled and supported far more than other good shoes I had tried. They easily accommodate my insole inserts. The shoes are true to size and width and are flexible to allow good foot motion while reducing foot fatigue. The leather is high quality making it a handsome shoe that is appropriate for work, the gym or casual use.

I've bought these shoes for years to work in. I'm thankful I found them as I don't think I could work without them!

the fit and size were fine, however after only a few weeks of intermittent wear, a crack in the sole developed and allowed road dirt and gravel to enter the shoe bed. With a compromised shoe bed, I had to return the shoes. Very disappointed in the quality - I always heard great reviews on Brooks brand shoes.

After wearing these shoes, my feet developed blisters. Cannot wear these shoes. They also have a small crack in the sole to upper fabric connection-allows small stones and debris to enter footbed of show while walking.

There is nothing about these shoes that I don't like. I've been buying them for years, white and black for the seasons. They are comfortable, easy to get on and off and supportive. At 84, my exercise is walking my dog and these shoes make it easy to keep my balance as well when he gets rambunctous.

This is my second pair of Addiction Walker 2. I walk 2 miles every day in these shoes and after about a year the heels wore out so I had to buy another pair. They are extremely comfortable - they are supportive for my plantar fasciitis and have a good amount of cushion. I recommend them for anyone who is on their feet a lot in addition to using them as a walking shoe. They run small so make sure you measure your feet; I normally wear a 7 1/2 and these are an 8 1/2 wide.

I've worn the addiction Walker 2, in a narrow width, for 14 years with custom orthotics. They fit perfectly until this year. These were so narrow in the toe box that I could barely get my orthotics in, and walking caused pain in my joints. I exchanged them for the normal width and the fit seems fine after 1 week of breaking in. My return and refund of the first pair was handled quickly.

These were stiff leather, ran at least a half size shorter, not much arch support. The style was attractive, but won't order this brand again and returned them.

I like the fact that the top of the shoe is constructed with leather and not nylon mesh. Much warmer in the winter. Thanks for offering this style in narrow. Very hard to find.

I'm back! Needed a cooler weather sneaker-style shoe and have "rediscovered" these. I have wedge shaped feet and these work beautifully. The leather is a bit stiff at the moment and the shoe is heavier (and I hope sturdier) than my usual fabric athletic shoes but worth the break-in time. I owned many of these across the years but decided to take a break with Hoka. I am now using a Brooks Glyercin in warmer weather and it works. I had given up on Brooks for a while for the changes they seemed to make annually in their sizing but his year's works. Hoka seems to do the same "tampering" annually with sizing and have used them as well for years. So frustrating for an active senior!
I'd also recommend:
Brooks Glycerin, Hoka Bondi, some Eccos and Wolky styles, some Merrells, Oofos, FitFlops, Orthofeet

I like the support the sneakers give you.I am not fond of the leather as it is to hard sometimes.

Brooks are about the only shoes I can wear. Needless to say, I have many pairs. My favorite styles are Ghost, Addiction and Adrenaline.
After having 9 foot surgeries that included rods inserted in the foot, finding comfortable shoes can be difficult. But, my Brooks do the trick.

Brooks are the only shoes I recommend.

Liked this shoe except it was not as cushioned as expected. It gave good all around support.

Very nice looking. Ive been buying addiction running shoes for years! Wanted something a little more dressy and waterproof. They are very comfortable, true to size. They fit perfectly. Thank you.

Over the years I have worn Addiction Walkers and also the sneakers. They work well with my custom orthotics and the make of the shoes adds extra support for pronation. Would like to see it in beige or gray.
