One of the orthotics that came with the shoe doesn't feel right. I am contacting customer service.

I am a long-time Brooks Addiction Walker wearer. Unfortunately, this new model does not fit the same as the previous version. I found that the shoe lacked enough length in the toe box. It definitely felt shorter than the previous version. Also, there was not enough support in the insole. My feet felt like they were walking on a very squishy insole. I need firm support in shoes. The old version was a better fit for me. The materials used for the shoe felt more like plastic than leather. I hope that Brooks will work on designing a walking shoe similar to their old Walkers.

This is my 2nd pr of Addictions. Extremely dissatisfied with the sizing. I ordered 10.5, as my other Addictions were, and they are too tight. Cannot wear them.....new ones run smaller than the first version.

Please continue to sell these shoes forever! My daughter puts her foot inserts in these and they greatly help her knees. She wears a wide size. Please continue to keep wide and narrow sizes in your inventory. Brooks, please keep making these.

My daughter has been wearing these ever since we bought customized foot supports for her several years ago. They fit well, and we don't want to have to look for a different style. Please, Brooks, continue to produce and sell this shoe forever. While they don't look great, they are necessary. They keep your feet dry in rainy weather, too. We continue to replace them as they wear out.

Brooks addition was recommended by a poditrist. I been wearing them for years with an orthotic insert. Wish you get that insert instead of the cheap liner.

I am very disappointed in the Brooks Addiction Walker 2. It isn't as comfortable, and seems much flimsier, lacking the support of the original Walker. Both my podiatrist and my trusted shoe salesperson commented that the quality seems to have gone way down. I'm also disappointed that Brooks discontinued the Bone color for the women's Walker; it was a very nice alternative to the dead-white athletic shoe look, and didn't show the dirt.

Perfect for walking, just having had a spinal fusion....all I can do is walk and it truly is a miracle. The shoes are solid but not heavy, great arch support. Definitely have been telling my family and friends Brooks are a MUST have

I ordered 1/2 size larger, as suggested, which worked. But the shoes were too wide for my narrow feet. Will send back.

I work at a restaurant and at first they were the opposite of "slip resistant" but it definitely got better over time. They're giving me blisters, I think they might be more slim than normal brooks running shoes (which didn't give me blisters).

I am a long term Brooks customer after Warren Buffett suggested them after purchasing the company! I recently attempted to do business with them electronically, but their staff ran me off with their nonsense. So you got to sell me one of my favorite shoes. I have many pairs of Walker Addition shoes and I have always enjoyed them. Thank you for being competent business people.

The shoes were too small and they squeaked. Not the addiction walkers that I bought before. Very disappointing.

Size up!!! As so many others have already said, the Addiction Walker 2 runs SO MUCH SMALLER than the original version. Have worn the original for years, always a size 9B. Was disappointed to learn the original was discontinued, however thought I'd take a chance on the "2" version. And before ordering, I read the reviews, many of which indicated to size up. So I ordered a half size larger, as the Zappo size guide suggested for this shoe. But even the 9.5 was too short. For me, a full size larger (size 10) is needed...and I have NEVER worn a size 10 shoe or sneaker before. Other than the sizing being so off, the shoe is nicely made, feels like quality leather, has comfortable padding and good arch support. Wish it was available in black in the size I need. Why on earth would Brooks not only change such a popular shoe but completely revise the sizing is a mystery.
