Customer Reviews Brooks Addiction Walker 2

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".

I reviewed my New Balance leathers tennis shoes and that review is the same for this shoe but I forgot to look the tongues don’t cover the foot under the laces. Where are the quality shoes? I’m willing to pay but can’t find them.

These are the most horrible work shoes I have ever bought. Who would design shoes with a large thick seam on both sides of the heels? The seam immediately rubbed the side of my heel raw. Also within a few minutes my feet were soaked in sweat. The upper portion on the shoes is made of a thick, non-breathable rubbery plastic. The insoles were stiff and hard with very little cushion. The sides of the shoes around the ankles seemed too high and stiff and dug into my ankles. The size seemed correct, that is about the only positive thing I can say about these shoes.

These shoes were very hard to put on and extremely stiff.

The fit was great for a 9N but when I walked the heel slipped up and down. They are also big and clunky looking.

Uglier than I could possibly have imagined!

I have worn Brooks Addiction Walker for years and loved them. Unfortunately they have changed the style and no longer offer the beige color I prefer. I thought I could live with the white but it is just too white and will be difficult to keep clean in no time. Not sure what shoe I will find to replace my walking shoe. I do like Asics but I need leather!
