I'm flat-footed. Brooks addiction enables me to walk all day pain-free.

Have worn Brooks Addiction Walkers for years and prefer them to any other shoe for my feet, particularly because I use orthotics. I think they are now running a bit smaller so I ordered a half size larger and it works fine. So far, no foot pain when I walk. Also ordered the same shoe in white but stuck with my regular size and use a less cushioned sock. I would like to loosen up both colors in the ball of the foot for more toe room. One thing I really like about the white pair is that the soles are now non-slip unlike my previous pair which could slip on smooth surfaces.

Solid shoe for heavy walking. Provides stability and supports balance. A huge plus for those with narrow feet.

I LOVE these shoes! I wear them everyday with so many outfits! I'm a college track athlete and need extra supportive shoes to walk around in during season when my legs hurt and these have been perfect! Do not change anything and keep producing this shoe! I will keep buying!

Although I'm not using the shoe for running or walking, they are very very comfortable and provides great support. I am a recovering Stroke patient and I have a drop foot. I am currently in school for cosmetology and I stand most of the day. Before these shoes, my ankle hurt badly at the end of the day, while wearing these shoes, I now have little to no pain! They do look like medicine shoes because of the thickness of the sole, but it's doing what I need it to do.

excellent. I have been wearing this same shoe for 15 years. I hope you never discontinue it. I needed it to reduce my back pain when walking

I was nervous about the new design of the addiction walker , but it is still a fine shoe. I'm not a runner, but I have a bad left foot and I'm only wearing Brooks shoes. This walker is good for hiking, city trekking and rainy days.

I have been buying this exact brand and model for almost 15 years now. Black and white pairs the same. I wished you had this in a black, size 11 or 11 and a 1/2. I was going to order one at the same time , but wanted to ask my husband, since the price went up. Last pair I bought was in June of 2020, it seems it had more ornamental details than this one you sent me. Probably you made some changes in the design. Not so crazy about that. I am not :). I also have an indoor pair, bought in 2020 from the same place ( at the same time), Gazelle Sports in Grand Rapids Michigan, with hot pink on it's laces and the tongue, please tell me if you still have those. I would love to get myself another pair for the outdoors. ( they are made of light perforated material ( the upper) and feel light as a feather !! That was my first time I bought this style and I LOVE IT !!! YOU REALLY KNOW YOUR TRADE, NO KIDDING !!! I am using your brand because it is very good, and I had huge reconstructive surgery on my left foot ( 4/26/2020) and WANTED to keep this brand because like I said, I have been buying only these type shoes for my painful feet ( I am not a runner, as much as I would have loved to be one ), I can barely walk. I use them every day of the year, summer or winter, no matter what ( unless it snows in measurable feet, :)), then I put my boots on - also top notch, ankle high only cannot wear anything else !). So , you see, I am a very loyal customer, I always stick with what I know works best for me. One little downside, they were always pricey and never on sale. But I still got them anyways. I never threw any pair away, kept them as a reminder, in case I forgot the brand, style etc. Used the old ones for garden work, when I was able to do that etc. Now, with all the inflation problems etc, they are even more expensive. Unfortunately... I wear an orthopedic insert in my right one, and none in my left ( left had the major surgery, 20 pieces of hardware in it !!!) and I am planning to use them daily, from now on. I tried the size you sent me, 11 and it feels a little snug, but I didn't start wearing them yet. Maybe for my Easter Celebration, but I should be aware of the fact they are brand new and maybe I cannot have them on my feet for too long during the liturgical celebration of the Resurrection of our Lord ( I would have to stand up for around 3 to 4 hrs, and I can only do maximum an hr and a half at one time - I am still in recovery from my surgery as we speak). If you don't make too many changes from now on, I will stick with the brand. I wish I had some way of saving some moneys when I purchased them. I highly recommend them to anyone who asks about them. ( for example, my husband's boss bought a few pairs like 4 years ago or so, after he saw me sporting mine - and he had also tendon surgery - cool, huh?) well, hoping I didn't bore you to death with my ( vivid ) details, I will say bye now. please, KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK, do not cut corners so to speak and you will be my go to brand as long as I live !! :) Have a blessed day ! Sincerely, Carla

Old lady mall walkers and I'm here for it. I hope the chunky white tennis shoe never goes out of style (is it still in) cause these are the most comfortable shoes ever.

This is my first pair of the Addiction Walker 2. I've been wearing the Addiction Walker 1 for 22 years and love them! The Walker 2 is an updated style and very nice looking. I'm a walker, not a runner, and the Addiction Walker is the best brand I've ever worn.

I had forgotten how good a new pair of good shoes could feel. I loved my old shoes but didn't realize how broken down they are. THank you for great shoes!
I'd also recommend:
Propet, New Balance, Merrill

I didn't buy a running shoe; I bought a walking shoe in white. The shoes are very comfortable w/ good support. I'll know how good they are after several months.

I wear one shoe: the Brooks Addiction 2. I have it in 2 colors: black and white. I wear orthotics and need a shoe that keeps my foot firmly in place. I walk 20 - 25 miles/week outside. I have been wearing these shoes for years.

I love this shoe fits very well, comfortable, comes in a good wide width. A good wide shoe is very hard to find. I got the double wide and fit beautifully. if you want a good shoe you'll love this one. I bought two pairs.

Good stable support. Pairs well with orthotics. They feel secure with just enough give in the leather. I would just add some colors other than black or white. These look like ? old people sneakers?. We may be older but we do like to look fashionable.

I love my new shoes. I used to have issues with shoes that slip easily. I feel much more secure in these shoes. I will order another pair.
