It was very comfortable but not slip resistant on a commercial kitchen floor. Wow! I went to Brooks because they make an awesome sneaker. These gave me support but could slide across a floor. I wouldn’t recommend for kitchen work.

Does not have the support like they used to. Seems soft and a bit floppy. I do not run, I am on my feet all day and usually the Brooks addiction are comfortable and I can go and go, but these not so much. My feet are tired at the end off the say.

This shoe size 8 is the exact same length as my older 7.5 Brooks leather walker - so I have to return - since my foot grew. I also do not like the insert - the arch is too high - good arch support does not means it supports your arch, but does not mean it is so high that it hurts and your arch is support your body weight. I called and unfortunately Brooks no longer sells replacement inserts since with a different insert it could be quite a good shoe - or if you have high arches - I have average.

Liked the original Addiction walker better. Tread is not as good as the original. Doesn't provide the support I need. Probably will not buy again. Also cost more.

I bought 2 pair because I loved the way the old version fit and felt. They fit differently than the previous version. I had to return and get a different size. They are not as comfortable either. Maybe I shouldve got an even bigger size and bought insoles

Was hoping that the TOP of the shoe would be redesigned... the back part was fine..
I tried the Addiction Walker 2 and they seemed to have a different "fit" so I returned them..
thanks... joan

I have several pairs of running socks, as in around 10. Some were advertised as running socks, some aren't specifically running socks, but they just work well. Outside of the Brooks name, these don't scream running. I wants a longer set for those cooler runs. What I appreciate - these are just comfortable. No extra padding that can feel like something's stuck to my foot. These are also light on the foot. I suspect I could use these with my hiking boots and be just as happy. These aren't cheap, but they seem to be quality made, like they will hold up for years.

I was looking forward to these shows, since Brooks has discontinued my favorites in my size. But something was wrong- perhaps they were mis-sized. I could not even get my left foot into the left shoe.

The shoe fit well but the style is very bulky/clunky.

I like the look and the style. The show seems well made. But, unfortunately it runs short, does not have good arch support or a well cushioned insole . I returned this item.

This had a much narrower toebox than previous pairs I bougth years ago. The heel fit ok, but it was even snug in length. The overall cushioning was good, and the lacing had several securing straps on the tongue to keep it in place. The heel height was similar to my other athletic shoes and comfortable. I had to return it for cramping my toes and crowding my upper foot. My ritchie brace barely fit in, due to the low height of the leather over the toe area. Wish they would have kept the old design. Will try a different brand from now on.

This shoe felt very stiff in the body of the shoe, the picture did not represent it properly and the weight of it felt very heavy but not in a good way. I returned it. It might be fine for someone else.

I felt it was a poor fit - I have worn Brooks for many years but not this style.

Ordered two different pairs of Brooks shoes in the same size; neither fit. This pair was too short and the toe box was extremely wide for a shoe that was supposed to be narrow. The other pair was too long. I'm disappointed, as I have worn Brooks shoes for years and have always been happy with them.

A really tight fit, the right side toe seam smashes and grinds on my tailor's bunion. Better for standing than walking in.

These shoes make a terrible squeaking sound with every step I take. The fit was good so I have tried wearing them in the house for 2 weeks to see if the squeak would go away. No such luck so am returning them.

Was excited to find this leather shoe had changed from its sort of bulky look. I think the design is good looking and was so disappointed when it just didn't fit my feet. The shoe size seems to run short and I experienced a bit of heel slippage. Sadly had to return the shoes.

I loved the roominess of the Wide option. Two things I really disliked - the weight of the shoes, they're heavy and have zero cushion! Which I thought was odd because they're "Walking shoes" and you would think those two specific things shouldn't be an issue.

I returned them. The look was fine and I like a leather shoe but these were way too stiff. I could not bend my foot!! Also, too, too narrow. Too bad I really wanted a good leather shoe.

I am a huge brooks fan, it's all I have run in for the last 6 years. So when I needed a comfortable, all-day shoe for nursing school, they were the obvious choice. I chose the Addiction Walker because of the boasted support, slip resistance and meeting the dress code requirements. While they are slip resistant and hold up well to water etc (hence the second star), they are so uncomfortable that I can't wear them, even after several weeks of trying. They seem to be angled in a way they tilt my feet forward so my toes are crammed and my heels have a big gap - I find myself hitting my heal on the ground to shift my foot back in shoe. Also, whatever the support is, it's not arch support, my arches ache badly after just a few hours of wear. Finally, there is an odd tightness at the top of my foot, doesn't matter how I adjust the tightness of the laces.
