Customer Reviews Brooks Addiction Walker 2

I was really surprised of how uncomfortable these are.. they gave much such pain in my arches and pain on both side of ankles! Wishing I could get a refund! No go.

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 !

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 am on my feet quite a bit and was looking for a good comfortable shoe. Several people who I work with recommended Brooks. I purchased a walking shoe rather than one designed for running, but am quite disappointed. They are not nearly as comfortable as some of my much less expensive shoes. I also had forgotten how hot ones feet can get in a leather shoe. I definitely would not order these again.

I absolutely love these shoes. My orthopedist recommended I order these due to my plantar fasciitis. My only regret is I didnt buy a half a size larger.

They were a little tight on my feet

They are to narrow the shoes run?s naw wow

Cute design and feels good for walking around town or standing in clinic for a long time.

Great shoe for motion control and ankle issues.

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.

Had to return them..they actually run a little to small.Needed a 1/2 size bigger The leather squeeks when you walk..why? The addiction did not but seems things have changed with Addiction 2

Great shoe to help with your balance when walking.

Great shoe, good for walking during work.

It is the second pair of Addiction 2 I have gotten. They are not nearly as supportive as the Addiction 1s that I bought in all 3 colors for many many years.

I love the Brooks Addiction 2 shoe!

Good support and fits like a glove
