They were stiff. And clunky. Grateful for Brooks' easy and efficient return policy.

I feel weird writing a review of a shoe I sent back, but I could tell it would have been the best walking shoe ever if it had been a tad longer. Since I've sized out of an 11 and am not quite a 12, it's been a trial because sport shoes usually run short. I could have deluded myself that it I cinched the laces tighter, my left foot would stay back, and they would work. I've lost too much money that way. Because my ligaments are loose, my foot tends to spread out, so that may be it too. Maybe the heel was a bit too wide. You just don't know til you try shoes on whether a half size up or a whole size will do the trick. They were actually narrow too. The construction of these shoes are fantastic and supportive, so if you need up to an 11 or an 11.5, they could work.

the Brooks addiction is extremely comfortable. I needed to size up a half size in the older version of this shoe but this one feels roomier to me in the toe area so I didn’t need to. The shoe gives great support.

They seem very solid. I've only had them for a couple of weeks but they feel really heavy and they are hot! I know it's summer but I didn't realize they would be this hot. They run small so I am pleased I requested a larger pair. I wish they had a more fun design.

These shoes are seriously ugly. I think more effort could be spent on design. Comfort wise, they are just okay. I prefer my brooks running shoes over these.

Have carried mail for 21 years and been faithful to this shoe but it is starting to seem as though the quality has steadily gone down while prices increase. Don't last near as long as they used it.

Ok. The material is less breathable. Cushion is good.

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.

I was so hopeing the previous reviews were wrong, but I had to see for myself. The original addiction walker was perfect. I work in a plant and walking on that hard floor needed some special support. These are not bad per say but the toe bed is tooooo narrow. I'm glad these are not as bulky looking and the comfort is still there... I just can't with the toe bed. I'm going to order a wide (D) just to see if that works. I love Brooks because they are so comfortable and do what I need them to do at work. With the original my feet were never tired, never hurt, never anything but comfortable. I hope Brooks take into consideration feedback for Addiction Walker 3. I need leather. Make more leather.

This is a very sturdy sneaker. The shoe is very comfortable and helps with foot pain (plantar fasciitis) and balance.

I love these shoes! I don't know anything about the Addiction Walker 1 that everyone seems to love...but these 2's are great! I have plantar fasciitis periodically and these shoes are a life saver. I also have a high arch and a lot of shoes like Nike's just are too high for comfort. I wear an 8.5 M and these were an exact fit. They are a little heavier than the Addiction Runner's that I also bought...but both are super comfortable and fit better than my Merrells.

The new Brooks Addiction Walker 14 fit my feet with orthotics better than the previous style which always ran slightly large. It was a perfect fit. The leather black walker fit better than the Brooks Addiction 14 running shoe with upper mesh fabric in the same size. The mesh shoe model ran too long and less wide. Foot lifted out of shoe when walking. So the black leather walker and the mesh running shoe fit differently in the same size.

As a bus operator our uniform shoes have to be black with leather upper. The ones provided by the uniform vendor are heavy, ugly and painful. I often have to travel to or from relief points and it would be a nice way to get steps in given the right shoes. These provide cushion, comfort and support for those walks, and are also very comfortable while driving the bus. They look great and are very light. Worth every dime!

Great support, seem like the will hold up under daily wear as a letter carrier. Not sure how they will accommodate an orthotic though. Perhaps needs a higher arch support built in.

I am not a runner but I am on my feet all day in a retail store (in the shoe dept, nonetheless!) I purchased a pair in white at another retail shoe store. These are probably the most comfortable shoes I've owned in a very long time. I don't come home at the end of the day dying to take them off.

I always wear Brooks shoes. I needed new ones during the pandemic last year - ended up ordering the wrong size (regular instead of wide that I need) - have been sitting them for about a year and could not really wear them as they hurt my feet like crazy. I was finally able to order my (Correct) size I am floored by how good this shoe feels and the support it offers. I was in major pain these last few days - dreading to put my feet on the floor when I found these. I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE them, enough that I plan on buying another one exactly like it - incase I have trouble finding something that works for me again. They feel sturdy, look good and are very supporting. Am so happy with the shoes that I am trying to forget I am sitting with that other pair that I cannot wear.

I work retail and am on my feet all day, everyday and have relied on my Brooks Addiction 1 for over ten years to get me through the day. Now I have a pair of Brooks Addiction 2 and my feet are in agony. Please, please bring back the old design or tell me where I can find a pair.

I work on concrete floors. These DO NOT absorb the shock. If you work a speck of overtime; your feet will notice.
