The shoe was the Addiction Walker II, not a runner. Addiction Walker II still does not measure up to the original Addiction Walker I. Especially noticeable is the lack of height in the heel as the Walker I had. Would I buy the Walker II again? No. Would I buy the Walker I, you bet I would! Brooks really needs to thing about bring the Walker II back.

These were to small, like half a size to small. The width was fine, I would have to take out the insole to use my Orthotics but that would have been ok..I am a die hard New Balance wearer 608v4, they changed the design to a V5 and those do not fit... Trying to find my new fav walker...

I have 2 other pair of brooks and love them. These ones are so stiff on my feet. And the sole is huge. I like the idea of leather and slip proof but very disappointed in comfort. Had I not worn them outside I would have returned them.

Loved the version of this shoe prior to this one....I am a walker, and walk about 4 miles most days. On the previous version, I got about 9 months wear on these, before I could feel the breaking down of the support. I have gotten TWO MONTHS of walking with this version of the Addiction Walker. Very dissappointed. I do not understand why they change a good shoe. Looking for another brand to switch to. Not satisfied..

For some odd reason, these shoes hurt my feet terribly! I'm not "new" to wearing this brand/model of shoes, and have not changed anything in activity to warrant such foot problems. I have 2 pair of the SAME shoe, but from a local store, which don't hurt my feet nearly as much. Odd. No issues with shipping, or anything else.

I wear a 10 narrow in other Brooks shoes. However, my toes touched the end of the shoes in this style. I had to return them.

This was a tricky shoe to get the fit right. Based on my normal size of 7 1/2 wide, Zappos recommended an 8 double wide. Well that size flipped right off my foot. I ordered my regular size and the length was indeed a half size too short but the wide was just fine. Zappos was out of 8 wide so I bought them directly from Brooks and they fit fine. Bottom line, go the half size up but stick with your regular width.

The shoe was too heavy. The leather material did not allow the shoe to breathe and it just didn?t feel like a running/walking shoe.

Shoe is just ok. I wont be ordering this shoe again. They style I can live with. It's the bones of this shoe that a fails. Cushion is not there at the toe and the heal. The older model of the walker Addiction 1 is a better shoe,cushion throught the whole shoe and formed to my feet. Almost a memmory type of shoe. I keep trying to order the walker 1, it's out of stock for many months now. Sad I just might have to fine another shoe somewhere else. Brook buyer for 15 years now. I would hate to leave but I'm on my feet for 10 hours a day, average 8 to 10 miles a day-five days a week. Please get the Addiction 1 back

I have worn these shoes for over 20 years. They have always been perfect for me. I got the new design and they are to narrow and to short ! I also purchased a black pair in the winter and had to send them back. What the heck is going on with these shoes ?! I am going to return these and order a half size bigger and hope work. We will see.

I do not like them at all. This is the first shoes that I have bought from Brooks that I haven?t loved. They look and feel clunky.

I usually have to "break-in" shoes, but most of the time, after consistent wearing the Brooks I have had in the past, have been comfortable after a few times. After wearing this pair for 4-6 weeks, I am still having trouble with the right shoe. It causes pain/discomfort in the instep area of my foot. I don't have other shoes to walk in so I try to put up with it but I am certainly disappointed in these shoes as I have worn Addication and Adrenline shoes for many years. I, also, cannot find the shoes in any color selection since I wear a 2A.

Unfortunately these are already falling apart after not much more than 2 weeks. While comfortable I don't think they will last.

This shoe runs shorter than previous versions. Wish I had ordered 1/2 size bigger. Hurts my toes.

Not as much support on the outside of the foot as the original. I'll need to buy the original and just throw these away.

The shoes were too small for a 8/12 wide. I couldn't get them on even with a shoehorn. Shoes felt stiff or hard. I don't think they are worth 139.00.

I am coming from ASICS Gel Kayano 30s to this sneaker. The Kayanos would hurt my feet after about 3 miles. I have flat feet and my minimal arches would hurt after three miles. The Ghost Max 3 has been very comfortable. It did take my feet a few weeks to adjust to them. My feet would be sore on the outer edges initially and then the ankles. All that subsided in about three weeks and was never really pain. Just mild soreness. The Ghost Max 3 feels excellent on my foot and works very well with the biomechanics of my foot and how I walk.

Horribly uncomfortable shoes that have mostly sat in the closet for a few years now. I should have sent them back, but hoped to break them in. Clunky, stiff. Even standing in them feels miserable after awhile. A regrettable purchase.
