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.

I have been wearing this model shoe for years and finally figured out that I need the narrow size. These feel so much better now that I have the right size. I buy them because my podiatrist recommended them and they are the best I have found for day to day use. Sometimes you just have to put up with ugly in order to reduce pain.

These run ridiculously short. I normally wear a 10N, could barely get it on with this shoe. Exchanged for a 10.5, toes still bumping the front. Now awaiting an 11 to see if that fits and feeling grateful they make an 11.5N in this because I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s what I end up needing. Aside from that, the shoe feels very comfortable - which is why I’m keen to get a pair that fits, so I can really find out!

I’ve worn these before, and am happy with my new pair. I’m a little concerned that the outer sole might grip too much for my knees, but time will tell.

My first pair of these were great and just right for me. These second one are NOT the same!!! They are larger, roomier and bulkier on my foot- I would have returned but I had already worn outside.

The shoe was ample in front, but still a little narrow in the heel, as Brooks tend to be. I need the 9.5W. The right shoe has a rough seam on the inside of the heel, which made the problem worse. I have worn the Brooks Addiction Walker for years, and I now need to find my size in the new model. I also thought the new shoe was not as well made as my old ones, though it does look a little better.

I was looking for a black leather shoe with good arch support. I previously had the addiction walker with velcro closure, but thought the lace version would allow for more flexible adjustment to provide the best arch support. I find I would buy the velcro closure in future, as the adjustment for support is about the same, which is why I only rated 4 rather than 5 stars. I recommend this product for excellent support.

Have been wearing Brooks "Addiction" for decades. These are quite good, but the seam is a bit higher up on top of the toe front, and it has taken some time for the black pair to get "stretched" enough that my toes aren't too tight. I inserted (and have always inserted) orthotics under the bottom pad. Haven't started wearing the white ones yet, but hope they will feel less tight.

I like the fit and the support it gives my foot. The stitching that attached the tongue to the shoe tends to irritate my foot at times. Good walking shoe for me, most days.

I have he'll Spurs and work seven hour days on my feet these shoes work so well for my needs. The only down fall is the price. I'd like to replace them every3 months just to insure the best comfort but can't afford that.

I have ordered the same shoes for 4 or 5. Years. I liked the previous Addiction Walker better. I have to wear these shoes most of the time and the smooth leather looked better to me than the ridges.
