Customer Reviews Brooks Addiction Walker 2

So comfy! I have wide feet and i got the EE and it’s perfect. Feel like I’m walking on clouds.

Fit okay, look not acceptable to me.

These shoes make a terrible squeaking sound with every step I take. The fit was good so I have tried wearing them in the house for 2 weeks to see if the squeak would go away. No such luck so am returning them.

Why so ugly? Fix it

They’re so ugly! Come on fix it!

LOVED previous editions of Brooks Addiction Walkers (fall, winter) and Ghost (summer). With commercial orthotics, they are the most comfortable shoes for my back I have ever worn, and are my day-to-day shoes. However, the newer iteration of the Addiction Walkers has a disappointing feature: the sole. Uppers and laces still look like new, yet the heel is already showing significant wear. More importantly, the tread is like tire tread, with tiny grooves allover. During even short grocery runs, or dog walk on sidewalk, so much gravel gets stuck in the grooves that it scratches my hardwood floors. I cannot afford 15 min every day with a tiny screwdriver to scrape out every last little pointy bit of stone. Very disappointed. Will not reorder until a sole more like the Ghost is featured. (Would also love availability in tan, as many reviewers have mentioned over the years.)

My usual size of 7.5 was to small. So I feel they may run .5 size smaller.

For me, these walkers fit my wide feet very well and give me good support. I have had operations on both my feet and have screws in both of them, so cushioning is important. I have to say, the leather does feel more like plastic, but as a result, the shoes still look like new in spite of being worn for several years in all sorts of weather here in the NW. I also wear the Ghost II.

These shoes began to squeak after I wore them a couple of times. They are fine for casual wear. They become very stiff and uncomfortable during long walks. They feel extremely durable though. I can’t recommend them.
