Excellent support, fit, quality and comfort. I have worn the Brooks brand for the last 25 years. These shoes are made of real leather!!! 100% satisfaction.

Good cushioning which helps my knees. I have been using them for a few years.

I ordered 6 different styles of tennis shoes. I have a narrow long foot and I am 78 years old. Sorry these shoes did not feel comfortable to me.

I have worn Brooks shoes for years. I have both back issues and knee issues and no other shoe helps me to stay mobile as Brooks. I also have EXTRA WIDE feet and these shoes fit perfectly. Very comfortable shoe!

Its hard to find a pair of stability shoes with such a high drop in a neutral and versatile color. These are really great! Very comfortable so far.

Ordered my size, 7 1/2 W and these fit fairly well. Initially, felt slightly too long, but as I wore them, they adapted to my feet better and were comfy. I did change out the insole for a Powerstep insole to help with my overpronation. Leather uppers and the sole are stiff and will need some break-in time, but I wear them almost daily for short walks. Wanted leather uppers for the cold weather.

I wore a 9.5 SS in Munro shoes and still wear a 10 N in New Balance. I gave these Brooks Walkers a shot. They were so close, but they are a stiff leather shoe and the right shoe hit my ankle just a bit off, making it uncomfortable. (Because my feet are so narrow, I have a much harder time with fit than most people - even Munros were a bit iffy.) I suspect I could have broken them in, but they are too $$ to attempt it and I am just as happy with old New Balance White leather model 608 shoes that I have been wearing for years. So I will stay with New Balance.

Guidance said to order half a size up, but that wasn't necessary. So, returning because too big. Also, the material seems a synthetic that won't breathe. And a little heavier than I would like. It's a nice shoe, but not for me. I will be going back to the Brooks Addiction running shoe that I have loved, even though I am not a runner any longer!

I love these shoes! Not only are the cute and functional, but it is hard to find fully white shoes- so these are perfect to match whatever outfit.They were true to size. And as always with Brooks, feel like I'm walking on air.

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 had to order these to accommodate my new custom orthotics after talonavicular joint fusion surgery. They are stiff but very supportive. A size larger than I had been wearing, they do accommodate my rigid orthotics and support my feet, providing a firm, large base for balance. I had bought a cloth Brooks running shoe last year which has been my go-to shoe for summer, and this will probably be my main shoe for fall and winter.

Love these shoes they are super comfortable and cute! Only thing is the cushioning on the inside of the back of my heel has completely worn off after not too many wears. Can you make this exact shoe with better heel cushioning? Without the cushion I get really bad blisters on my achilles.

Great looking shoes! But, they are too wide for my foot, particularly the heel width.

I have flat feet and always order shoes that provide stability, otherwise I experience back pain. Throughout the year, I usually wore Brooks Adrenaline GTS21 and GTS32 models. Recently, I came across the Addiction Walker 2 model while searching for something that doesn't look like a sports shoe and is preferably somewhat waterproof. I chose the white ones. The first few days they were a bit stiffer than I'm used to. After a week, it's already better. As for the size, it is the same as with other Brooks shoes. These shoes will be most suitable for dry weather. I do not recommend them for rainy days - at least not the white color because the seams quickly get dirty and darken. What worries me about these shoes and also surprises me is that they are very slippery on wet surfaces. It seems to me that they are very dangerous on smooth wet concrete, which I also experienced recently when I fell. I have never experienced anything similar with the Adrenaline model, which I really wear in any weather. Although the sole says "slip resistant," this is not true on wet surfaces. So be aware of this fact. As for the width, the medium "D" is just right for me. I have narrow feet. It is the same width that I wear on the Adrenaline models. The shoes provide very good stability, somewhat greater than the Adrenaline model. I am considering buying black ones for rainy autumn and winter days, but given that they are very slippery, this might be a big problem. I hope they do something about it. The pattern on the soles looks quite different from those for running. Maybe if they kept the sole as it is on the others and the shoes didn't slip, it would be a winning combination. I hope they will last a long time in terms of wear, as the shoes are not cheap at all. Time will tell.

Fit was too big for me. I think I ordered the wrong size. The shoe felt fine just a kettle stiff.

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

Nice looking, fairly comfortable. I had higher hopes for these, but they seem to be doing the job. The weirdest part is the toe box. I had to size up to a 9 which I have never worn in my life. My toes kept bumping into the front. I have many models of Brooks, from road to trail running, so I didn't expect such a discrepancy in sizing. These are slightly too big now but better than jamming my toes. 4/5 stars because 3 seems too low and 5 is certainly too generous.

These shoes were just what I for hoped for, except they squeaked. I contacted Brooks, and they suggested I unlace them and let them air out for 24 hrs. It didn't help, so 'm returning them.

I have incredibly flat feet. At work, I wear Dankos pro lites, the only shoes that seem to work. But for walking, I obviously need something more secure. Enter the walking addictions. Are they stylish? No. Do they support my feet in all the right ways while getting a walk in? Absolutely. I almost love how ugly they are - I probably won't be wearing them out, so they'll last for my walks. I bought the black and since I'm in-between sizes (8.5 -9) I went with the larger size, since that is which reviewers recommended. Glad I did. I found the medium width adequate for my feet (which also feature a protruding bump below the small toes on each side.) I don't require an orthotic so I can't speak on those with these shoes. For me, they're great as is. Can't loose with Zappos. If they're not what you're needing, send em back!
