Customer Reviews Brooks Addiction Walker 2

They seem to have motion control and are stiff but perfect for my purpose.

Size up!!! As so many others have already said, the Addiction Walker 2 runs SO MUCH SMALLER than the original version. Have worn the original for years, always a size 9B. Was disappointed to learn the original was discontinued, however thought I'd take a chance on the "2" version. And before ordering, I read the reviews, many of which indicated to size up. So I ordered a half size larger, as the Zappo size guide suggested for this shoe. But even the 9.5 was too short. For me, a full size larger (size 10) is needed...and I have NEVER worn a size 10 shoe or sneaker before. Other than the sizing being so off, the shoe is nicely made, feels like quality leather, has comfortable padding and good arch support. Wish it was available in black in the size I need. Why on earth would Brooks not only change such a popular shoe but completely revise the sizing is a mystery.

These are nice shoes. Due to foot problems, they are the only shoes I wear. I usually wear size 10 but these run small and require ordering a half size up. The insoles are removeable so the shoes accommodate my custom orthotics quite nicely. I have worn this style of Brooks for a number of years now. My right foot pronates and these shoes provide support for that. They work well for me and I hope they never stop making them.

Very supportive and well-balanced shoe; just what I need. The size and width seem to me to be consistent with earlier versions of this shoe that I have had. The removable insoles are very resilient and offer pretty good arch support, but I need to wear orthotics. Fortunately there was plenty of room in this shoe to replace the stock insoles with the orthotics.

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.

These shoes are wonderful. I have problem feet-they are narrow and I need a very good arch support. I use orthotics and these shoes accommodate them very well. I love when my feet feel good and they do when I wear these shoes.

They feel good I add power step insoles in the shoes cause I'm on my feet alot and it helps with my arch support

I had bought a pair of these in taupe color a couple of years ago. When I finally found white, I grabbed it! Excellent arch support and real AA width. Very comfortable. They look a bit "clumpy" but the comfort trumps fashion.
