These shoes squeak. The tongue needs to be something besides leather.

Shoes squeak constantly when I walk. The leather material does not move well with my feet. Need larger selection of narrow widths. Prefer the Ghost 14 pairs of shoes I have had before even though I am NOT a runner.

I thought they would have a higher arch as in adrenaline. Not happy with these. Even thinking of returning them.

This Brooks wasn?t for me. First try on felt great but the longer the shoe stayed on, the tighter the toe bed became to the point I couldn?t wait to get the shoe off. It may have been due to the leather and lack of any air flow and my feet swelling slightly while walking? Not sure but I had to return them. Brooks?s great return policy will keep me buying their shoes!

These do not work for me. Very bulky and were too big. That's the problem with ordering online. they are not carried in local stores. However, I am wearing Adrenalin GTS22 in wide and LOVE THEM. Introduced and fitted at Canyon Ranch Tucson. Ordered a second pair online from Brooks as soon as I returned home. Now waiting for the new version to arrive soon, I hope

I need a narrow width very hard to find for any shoe today. It looks big on my feet, but that is my 11 1/2 shoe size. Please keep making it as it fits perfectly. JMB

Always buy Brooks, but this particular sneaker squeaks as I walk. (My first leather type of Brooks, =rest were mesh type top) Thought it needed breaking in, but after wearing & walking in it for a few days, I'm giving up & returning the shoe, so disappointed. Still recommend Brooks, but maybe not the leather version.

I bought these shoes for my wife and she did not like them. She said that they were too heavy and resulted in knee pain, so we returned them. The return policy is very flexible so I certainly appreciate the guaranteed satisfaction policy. I have purchased other Brooks running shoes and I'm very satisfied.

Love the shoe but I would like if it were available in colors other than black and white. I'm not a runner. These are for daily wear & walking. Would like a to see more variety in color. Maybe a light grey, or chestnut or deep red? I'm limited to what works best with my orthotics and these are perfect but boring. Just sayin.... maybe other people with similar foot issues feel the same.

After purchasing brooks addictions for year's because of the quality of the shoes. You changed the shoe to addiction 2. Not the same, not as good. They are stiff and not as comfortable as the originals. For the price they are becoming not worth it. Disappointing.

I have been buying these for several years, they are not what they used to be. What happened to these shoes, the quality just isn't there anymore.

I found the shoe almost impossible to slip on, regardless of adjusting laces, etc. I wear a B width, and this was a first. So I have no experience in wearing them, and I had to return them. After a search of many options for this shoe, I was disappointed. But I appreciate Zappos making returns so easy.

Too hard, runs narrow, sole does not flex at all. Short ankles, felt like I was going to roll out of the shoe while standing. Overall extremely disappointing for all the hype.

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. I'm used to Brooks running shoes so these were very different. I could not get used to them and so I returned them.

I have been wearing the original Addiction shoes for 20 years and they were wonderful. The Addiction 2 is a big disappointment. There is no arch support and they are not as comfortable as the original Addiction. I had to return them. Please go back to the original design and I will order them all the time. Right now I have to look for a different brand that will accommodate the fit I need.

I was looking for a shoe that has the look of an athletic shoe but with the needed 'foot help' needed. This one was very comfortable but looked like a medical shoe.

The Addiction Walker has changed over the years. I have very bad feet and in the past the A.W. always gave me the most support and comfort of any shoe. However over the past few year they have cheapened the shoe with plastic rather the the leather uppers they used to use. So they squeak when you walk, and the comfort and fit isn't what it use to be. I have tried numerous other shoes and still come back to the Addition 2. Guess I will just have to live with them. Sign of the times I suppose. Nothing is as good as it was before. Please go back and make the A.W. 2 like the original.

Not enough depth. The back of my foot kept coming out of the shoe. Also, a full size smaller and narrower thank marked.

Comfortable shoes, not attractive but I was not expecting them to be. However, these were a replacement for a pair of New Balance Walking shoes that never arrived, and I must have failed to confirm that they are leather. I wore them around the house and decided they were keepers and wore them outside. Then I noticed that the shoes STINK! I would never have kept them had I noticed the odor! Inside on the tongue it says they are made in Vietnam; "Fabrique au Vietnam".
