Customer Reviews Brooks Addiction Walker 2

I love these shoes. they are the best shoes you make. I used to wear Ghost but you changed them and they are unwearable. Like walking on bricks. Back to Addiction Walker! They are comfortable and stable. Great arch support. I only give 4 stars for 2 reasons. #1 they are always sold out in white. Booooo! #2 if there was anything I could say that would make them better, it would be more cushion and durability. They just don't last long enough and after a month or 2 start to break down. I typically walk 3-5 miles per day, so not enough that they should wear out so quickly. Might widen the toe bed a bit! Had to get longer laces. the ones in there aren't long enough.

Great support for lots of walking on the job. Makes a squeaky sound as the materials rub on each other. I ordered a half size bigger than I do in the Adrenaline running shoe because of my big toe rubbed by upper part of toe box. I am thankful this shoe comes in white for work.

I like the stiffness of the upper and lower part of the shoe, as it gives me the stability for my ankle to not roll out side. The only downside is they creak a little bit as you walk.

Loved them but think I bought the wrong size. I am thinking of ordering a new pair soon.

I got it for my mom and she likes alot it but wishes to have more cushion inside the soles cause it hurts her callus on her toe she uses it at the restaurant to work..loves the comfort it provides

Great shoe, very comfortable and true to size. The problem is the shoes SQUEAK LIKE CRAZY!!!! Please do something About this!!!

Fit is good, support is good, shes are too squeaky!

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.

very comfortable shoe. I am on my feet for my whole 8+ hr. shift, I have arthritis, high arches and get shin splints easily. No issues while wearing these shoes

The wide toe berth and narrow heal makes for a comfortable fit for needy feet.

I've seen lots of reviews saying they are not as good as the original Addiction Walker. So far I can't tell the difference. I'm glad they run small because when I get the bigger size my orthotic insole fits perfect. Need to make more walkers instead of all runners.

This is my second pair of this shoe. The first has been wonderful for stability which helps control complications from hip and knee arthritis. I would have rated this show 5 stars based on my experience with the first pair, but, the second pair feels a bit shorter in the toe. Because my foot is wide in front and narrow at the heel, I feared the next size up would be to loose on my ankle.so my plan is wear only thin socks and keep the size I ordered. Others may want to consider ordering a half size up.

A bit stiff for a walking shoe.

Super duper white - but they'll get dirty soon enough and tone down. I wish they were all leather, but they are not. Would be nice if they had some vents or hikes for breathability. I'll put up with those cons for the support and comfort. Really great- I usually wear 8 1/2 wide- I got a size 9 and have a great amount of wiggle room for my toes which is what I wanted. It's nicely built up in the arch area and the soles have a wider footprint through the instep which gives me confidence walking on different surfaces - grass, pavement and trail.

Bought for my mom and she's very happy with them. Steady footing for an 86 year old!

Great shoe, good for walking during work.

THE HEEL AREA IS TOO STIFF; TOEBOX SNUG

As a long time advocate of Brooks, these are very comfortable, perfect for orthotic inserts. Great fit. Leather is #1. Negative: Only available in Black or white. Would like beige brought back. (Nubuck was great too) White color is very unforgiving on dirt walkways. Impossible to clean despite constant upkeep. Beige is much more forgiving. Black is dirt forgiving and perfect for wearing with slacks, but not exactly stylistic when coordinating w/shorts in summer, especially when the only option is to wear black sup hose. Please bring back beige. A drawer of beige sup hose is now unused and crying to come out of the dark. Option: find another brand, difficult to meet Brooks standards, but need beige.
