I have had several pairs in the past of the addiction walker. I love them. The last a long time and have great support. I would recommend these shoes to everyone.

These were to small, like half a size to small. The width was fine, I would have to take out the insole to use my Orthotics but that would have been ok..I am a die hard New Balance wearer 608v4, they changed the design to a V5 and those do not fit... Trying to find my new fav walker...

So far so good. Snow has kept me from wearing them! Took them for a stroll yesterday and they felt pretty good. We shall see.

I?ve been buying these shoes for at least a decade. If you?re looking for shoes that accommodate a high instep and a wide foot, it?s worth giving these a try.

Fits just like the addiction walker I have ordered for years, but I had to take 1 star because the sole is not the same and it is slippery. Got to watch walking on wet surfaces

I purchased these shoes for many years until the last 3. I recently decided to give them another try after not being able to find another brand shoe that fit my needs. I was surprised that my recent Brooks purchase showed a definite upgrade in the shoe tongue area. My new pair has a better design and the tongue stays in place.

Love this Walking Shoe. It's been redesigned a bit, but it's very comfortable on my narrow feet.

This is my fourth pair of Addiction walkers. I buy them two at a time in both black and white. I have wide feet and bunions and these are the best supportive, comfortable walking shoes that I have ever owned! Please keep making them!

I am on my 4th pair of these shoes. I love them! Tons of support and not heavy. I have bad knees and am heavy. They make walking and standing comfortable.

I am not a runner, the slip resistant shoes are required by my job. I have RA and am on my feet on a concrete floor for 8 hours. The soles on your shoes are much more pliable than other slip resistant shoes and therefore much more supportive, less pain at the end of the day. I also find great benefit from our insoles, the others you have to replace before you wear them at all. After only 2 weeks my hips and knees have greatly improved. Thank you!

I?ve never had a problem with these Brooks shoes until this pair. Doesn?t feel totally leather, tight across top and side. Disappointed.

I have 2 other pair of brooks and love them. These ones are so stiff on my feet. And the sole is huge. I like the idea of leather and slip proof but very disappointed in comfort. Had I not worn them outside I would have returned them.

Brooks Addiction 2 does not fit the same as the Brooks Addiction Walker walking shoe I've been wearing for at least 10 years in 7EE. Every year I would buy new pair. When I saw Brooks discontinued original I tried Walker 2 to my dismay they are shorter and narrower than original. Why would a company change a shoe I buy consistently annually for past decade? Because they think we no longer like the original Walker and want a shorter narrower fit? How shortsighted of Brooks. For now, I sized up half size to 7.5EE in Addiction 2 even though new pair doesn't fit as well. I am looking for replacement brand but, no luck so far. Brooks Corporate if you're reading this, please bring back our original fit! Our feet have not changed.

So glad to be back in Brooks Addiction. Best support shoe ever. Nice round high toe box. Soft leather. Feels like an old friend from day one.

I'm a mail carrier and walk many, many miles. I had the original addiction walkers last year and they were so comfortable. It also took the soles a long time to wear out. I tried to find the originals again but had no luck, so I went with these. I don't think they look as good as other ones, but you can't really make black leather tennis shoes look great. The fit is the same and they're still comfortable. I don't think they're durable enough though. After wearing them for only a couple weeks, the front of the shoe where the sole meets the leather is already peeling back a little bit. The originals I had for months and never did that. I'm questioning how long these are going to last in the long run. I'm huge Brooks fan so going with another brand is out of the question. I just hope they don't let the quality get too low.

Just like the old shoes with the same support. The slight change in design helps make them look more current.

Due to orthopedic injuries, I need these shoes for their incredible support. They are the only shoe I can wear for any length of time to walk. This new design has even better cushioning and they seem to have a less "clunky" appearance (the black ones) than the older style. Thank you!
