Customer Reviews Brooks Addiction Walker 2

I was looking for a good walking shoe that was sturdy enough to stand up to some light hiking. I have narrow feet, so my choices are limited. This shoe comes in 2A, so I decided to give it a try. I wear a 9 1/2 2A, so I ordered this shoe the first time in a 10 2A. That pair was too short for I reordered for a 10 1/2 2A. Those felt good length-wise, though there was a little slipping at the heels. The shoes felt sturdy and somewhat stiff, but generally good on my feet. However, I ended up sending the 10 1/2 pair back as well, mostly because even though they seemed pretty good, they didn't seem good enough for the price and I decided my Brooks Ghost running shoes that are too worn for running would work for light hiking. Frankly, I felt the black Addictions were not attractive at all. For a person working as someone who walks or stands all day I could see them being a good option. Maybe for someone in their 20's or 30's who could get by with looking cute in big, black shoes. Or maybe if white were available? But, they looked too much like "grandma shoes" for a 66 year old who actually is a grandma! I appreciate Brooks return policy and would highly recommend Ghost shoes for runners/walkers with narrow feet.

First off I am not running in them using as work shoe and I have used this same one for years but have to say Im very dissatisfied with the last two pairs since they changed the style the shoes squik when I walk and is super annoying

Comfortable enough shoe. Was looking for a shoe to help with plantar fasciitis. These shoes did not make situation worse. But soles were very stiff/ inflexible. Felt like I had a board on my foot. Im used to Brooks running shoes so these were very different. I could not get used to them and so I returned them.

Good fit and good support. Im a walker and walk a lot on uneven surfacesgood support and cushioning is essential.

Ive been wearing the Brooks white Leather Addiction shoes for almost ten years. I pronate and these were recommended by our foot doctor. No more leg cramps and they feel so good when Im on my feet all day.

I bought these for my 93 year old grandmother. She was having trouble with every shoe she tried, changing shoes sometimes 5 or more times a day. Since getting these, shes been able to wear them all day long and I am super happy that we found the perfect shoe for her! She has regained her ability to be active and I love that for her!

They seem to be well made structurally, but they SQUEAK LOUDLY with every step. I thought it was the insole, but it is actually the upper where the tongue and laces of the shoe are. People can hear me coming down the hall at work. Could use more cushion/padding on the sole.

Brooks shoes were recommended to me by my podiatrist years ago for plantar fasciitis. Ive been wearing them ever since so that I can walk relatively pain free.

I have worn the addiction walker for years and they were perfect. The new design with the roll bar causes supination and is quite painful. I have read other complaints with the new design and wonder why you are letting your ego out way common sense. Bring back the old design or have both and see which sells better.

I have been buying from Brooks for my work shoes for six years. My feet needs a large toebox. I have a wide feet. Brooks hands down makes the best most comfortable shoe I have ever had the pleasure of wearing. This year I decided to try a couple other brands. I know I sound like an infomercial, but its very very true. Time and money for no reason I had to send the others back. Went back to Brooks. This shoe is the best Im on my feet all day, and I have a Wi-Fi. It is the most comfortable shoe I have ever had the pleasure of wearing definitely worth every cent. thank you Brooks you have saved my life on my feet and my feet. Thank you!

Excellent walking shoe. I was able to buy 2 pairs back to back so Ive been walking about 25 miles a week in them for about 18 months. Theyre very supportive. Never had any pain while walking. Im disappointed its not available in my size in white right now.

I just had a torn quad tendon repair in July and am still healing. These are my second pair of Brooks. I am sold. Wont purchase another brand. These help me with fair and posture. Thanks for making a quality walking shoe. I bought a half a size up. Perfect fit and support! Bought them in white and will buy a second pair in black.

My first thought was it was a little heavy, but after wearing them one day, they feel amazing.My legs and feet didnt hurt. Our boss is thinking about getting them for all the employees, because we need to have slip resistant shoes. Thank you Brooks they feel amazing.

Purchased these hoping theyd be better than my Hokas and they werent. I have a wide foot and was looking forward to trying their extra wide size as Hoka doesnt offer it in womens sizes. The toe box was too narrow for me and squished my foot anyway. Even the normal wide with Hoka was better fitting than these. They also felt awkward to walk in when I tested them at home, so unfortunately this shoe was a no go for me.

I had to purchase these shoes for work. Overall they were okay but they were very heavy shoes. I have had Brooks before and did not have that problem. Maybe the leather made the shoes heavy? Besides that the shoe was more narrow than expected.

This is why I delete the emails. Too demanding. The company should look at what is purchased. This is a work shoe. Questions arent relevant

They are very comfortable and I didnt even need to break them in. Im really happy with Brooks shoes, the quality and customer service seems great!

This newer tread design gets jam packed with everything you step in (hopefully not mud or dog doo, you'll NEVER get it clean). Really hard on flooring, especially hard wood flooring.

Comfortable shoe. Its in my rotation.

This model is just as comfortable as past ones. The only things I dislike are that the upper is a mix of materials and not all leather as in the past and they squeak while walking. Please go back to the all leather upper.

I thought these would be softer and more leather-like. The material is hard and hurts my toes. I dont wear them.
