Customer Reviews Brooks Addiction Walker 2

Very heavy shoe. Much heavier than other brooks shoes I own. I returned this pair.

A great quality shoe but sizes run small

Full disclosure - I returned these. I own several other pairs of Brooks shoes, so ordered these in the same size. They were about a half size too small.

The shoe looks nice but not very comfortable for my feet and the worst part about them is that they are noisy every step sounds like rubber ducks on both feet so I was like ok just need to break them in but no they still noisy.

I have no issues with the comfort of these shoes but, in my case, they were not slip resistant. Not suitable for restaurant work.

These shoes are not fully slip resistant. If you need them for work in a restaurant kitchen I would not purchase.

I work at a restaurant and at first they were the opposite of "slip resistant" but it definitely got better over time. They're giving me blisters, I think they might be more slim than normal brooks running shoes (which didn't give me blisters).

They don't seem to have the support as the 1st Addition Walker which I'd been buying for years. My feet are sore when I get home. They also squeak when you walk.

I have another pair same size and style shoe but had to return these because they were too short.

I was really surprised of how uncomfortable these are.. they gave much such pain in my arches and pain on both side of ankles! Wishing I could get a refund! No go.

I am on my feet quite a bit and was looking for a good comfortable shoe. Several people who I work with recommended Brooks. I purchased a walking shoe rather than one designed for running, but am quite disappointed. They are not nearly as comfortable as some of my much less expensive shoes. I also had forgotten how hot ones feet can get in a leather shoe. I definitely would not order these again.

They were a little tight on my feet

It is the second pair of Addiction 2 I have gotten. They are not nearly as supportive as the Addiction 1s that I bought in all 3 colors for many many years.

Extremely hard to clean tread......don't step in mud or dog doo. The grit retained in the tread will destroy your floors.

Really miss the original Addiction Walker - the Addiction 2 is not nearly as comfortable or supportive - feels like a cheap version of the Addition Walker - any chance you will bring back the original shoe?

I decided to read some reviews first, and was surprised to see so many customers stating my complaints. I have worn the Addiction Walker for 15+ years because I need a supportive shoe that comes in a narrow width. My orthopedic doctor said they were the best. I would get 2 or 3 pair every year and was always happy when the salesperson came out with the same old shoe, no changes. Until this year. The salesman assured me the changes were minimal and mostly cosmetic. I totally disagree! As others have commented, the shoe does not fit the same. There was nothing wrong with the shoe that needed fixing. I am fortunate that my shoe store has a great return policy, as I may have to return them. I am not sure what I can get instead, since there are not many other brands available in narrow sizes. Just please bring back the original design for your loyal customers! I also miss the bone color.
