Customer Reviews Brooks Addiction Walker 2

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.

Do Not change anything. They are my everyday, for everything shoes. Fit and support is great.

Design is very flat. They are a heavy shoe.

Ordered my usual brooks size; these are too small to wear.

Great Shoe with support. Finally found a Narrow shoe.
