Customer Reviews Brooks Addiction Walker 2

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.

Not a bulky shoe so like the style, weight and look

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.

Comfort: A+ Anti-slip: Fail *Returned after wearing just once to work in the food service industry. Almost slipped and fell three times on a short shift.

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.

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.

I love Brooks. These shoes are not my favorite Brooks, but they get the job done. I'm a transit driver and wanted the stiff soles and sneaker comfort these shoes provide. My only complaints are the soles are rather slick and the shoes squeak a bit. I think these shoes are generally marketed to older folks who might find the slickness a liability. When I come in from outside and the soles are wet, I have zero traction on the tile floor in my building lobby. LikeZERO traction, even when I wipe my feet thoroughly. If my shoes are wet, I won't have traction on bike pedals either. I bought these shoes so they could transition from work to workout/bike commute, and they do that reasonably well, but beware that you could slide across the floor and potentially fall if your shoes are wet. And they squeak. I've been happy with all my other Brooks purchases and love that their workout clothes are size inclusive.

I use this shoe as a mail carrier and it's perfect material for my job but it definitely lacks some comfort. I thought it would be a little more comfortable being that it is a running shoe. Would buy it again for work purposes.

Love the way the shoe fits and feels. Wish it looked better, has a plastic look. Need shoes for work that are solid black so this is my only option.

I love the looks of this shoe. It's very versatile and can be dressed up or down. It's great for traveling.

Very comfortable and the arches just at right places. I have worn the shoes for about 3 weeks and the inside feels kind of worn already, I would have liked it to be lasting a long time. I can feel the cushy feeling is not there at all.
