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.

I have had purchased Brooks Walker before. These shoes were truly a disappointment. It is not a show that I would walk five miles in like my previous Brooks walker. It's totally far from the mark of a good walking shoe. The shoes did not make my feet happy. I need happy feet to walk.

Too small. Been waiting 2 weeks for return label to be mailed. Return labels should be included. At least with a first time purchase. No printer

I will confirm what others have said - these are not like the previous Brooks Walkers. The heel is somehow different, it feels very stiff and my foot slides. I'm glad I have my old Brooks shoes. Too bad.

The toe box is roomy, like I need. However the heel is not tight enough. Also, the shoes squeak as I take each step. The outside upper material does not look like leather.

I have a pair of Brooks sneakers that fit well and lasted a long time. This shoe surprised me.

These shoes squeak terribly. And, this is not the first pair with this problem that did not exist in older pairs. Returned them all.

The shoes feels bulky and heavy when going on a long walk. I am not sure if I will keep them yet.
