I was looking for shoe with a sturdy, inflexible sole at the forefront due to a previous foot injury. For having such a thick sole, the part of the shoe where the ball of my foot is was pretty flexible. The tops of the shoes also go a bit high, so I can feel it poking into my ankles with every step. These ones will have to go back.

They're very comfortable. They tend to get a little scuffed, however. I only wore them a few times and I see tears in the rubber.

The shoes are great for walking on concrete all day. I guess because they are leather they give a fast food shoe look. Other than looks comfortable shoe.

Bought these for my 86 year old mother-in-law who walks 2 miles everyday. She loves the support and said they are comfortable. She wore them in the house to break them in and hasn't had any problems on the dirt road.

I ordered my regular size, 8.5 W, but it wasn?t wide enough. I returned it and ordered Dyad which is a little roomier.

Very comfortable for walking in all day... Back heel is a bit low & I added super feet insoles for extra support

I needed stability in the shoe so that it does not tip sideways. My previous shoes with air flowing from heel to the front would allow the sole of the shoe to roll toward the outside because the heel was not flat and thereby put stress on my knees. This shoe does not do that. It also has good cushioning as I don't even miss the air in the heel of the shoe! Well made sturdy shoe.

Loved the version of this shoe prior to this one....I am a walker, and walk about 4 miles most days. On the previous version, I got about 9 months wear on these, before I could feel the breaking down of the support. I have gotten TWO MONTHS of walking with this version of the Addiction Walker. Very dissappointed. I do not understand why they change a good shoe. Looking for another brand to switch to. Not satisfied..

I wear barefoot shoes and I thought maybe these would work. They are light*** but there is too much padding and distance from the ground to work as barefoot shoes. I ordered a wide which helps but the toe box is too narrow for my feet. If your not concerned about the barefoot lifestyle and your okay with a narrow toe box then these are the shoes for you.

For some odd reason, these shoes hurt my feet terribly! I'm not "new" to wearing this brand/model of shoes, and have not changed anything in activity to warrant such foot problems. I have 2 pair of the SAME shoe, but from a local store, which don't hurt my feet nearly as much. Odd. No issues with shipping, or anything else.

I have been wearing Brooks Addiction Walkers for many many years. I require maximum support for my feet and for my back and these do the trick. They are also so comfortable that I do not need to break them in. Highly recommended but not very fashionable. I have them in black and white.

As a senior citizen, I needed to exercise and decided on walking. A physical therapist recommended Brooks gym shoes (these are my summer walking shoes) and I found them to be extremely comfortable and I like the bounce it provides which propels me to walk for longer periods. I decided to purchase the walking shoes since they were made of leather and I could use them during winter. They are very comfortable with solid support around the ankles and thick soles provide cushion for bottom of my feet especially when walking on pavement. The color selection is extremely limited and that is a disappointment; reason for 4 stars. Why not gray, tan or navy blue?? I?m still getting used to the weight of the shoe which is slightly heavy for me with my small size 5 feet and being under 100 lbs.

It?s a 5 star in comfort but a 3 in looks. The new style has some ribbed leather around the top that looks very cheap.

I bought these for work (im on my feet 10-12 hrs a day) because all my athletic shoes are Brooks and I love them. These however are extremely hard and uncomfortable.

Have been buying a new pair every three months, Have a very narrow foot. The leather stretches out quickly. This new design uses the same lacing idea that the SAS extra narrow walker does. The SAS shoe did not work, could not help but walk right out of the shoe after a half hour. This might begin to happen with the Walker II. Then I might have to try New Balance who uses a 'last' that is not friendly to my feet. I wish I was born with wide feet. Time will tell.

I love this shoe! As soon as I put it on, I could feel the support on my arches. This relieves my plantar fasciitis.

Absolutely LOVE this shoe!! Previously wore the Addiction Walker. After trying out a couple of different shoes, yep, I'M BACK to this one. It is the best for walking and gives the perfect cushioning necessary for long walks and being on your feet all day!! I will NOT try a different shoe again. I've learned my lesson!! THANKS!!!

I bought these shoes because they were suppose to be the best walking shoe for plantar fasciitis. I have been wearing them now for several weeks with no real improvement, so I am a bit disappointed. They were pricey but I thought it would be worth it to get rid of walking pain. Was going to contact brooks for a possible price adjustment.

I wear a 10 narrow in other Brooks shoes. However, my toes touched the end of the shoes in this style. I had to return them.

I returned the shoes, they were to tight. I believe I need a size Med. Hope you can make the change in a med size and a neutral color. Thank you again.
