Customer Reviews Brooks Addiction Walker 2

The original walking addiction was the only sneaker I found that helped my plantar fasciitis. This newest version is so disappointing. Too narrow in front half on sneaker & arch support isn’t as good & the tread isn’t that great either.

the shoe was perfect except it put too much pressure on the bunion; these were exactly the type of shoe I am looking for;

I liked the shoe fit, but did not like all the whiteness and did not want leather. I wanted a fabric sneaker. I did not realize this. So, I ordered the Glycerin Brooks sneaker.

Very disappointed with Brooks. These were my favorite shoe. I have bone spurs, flat feet and hallux limitus. As you can imagine I have a hard time finding a good supportive walking shoe. These shoes feel very hard on the feet, and my foot slips out the back and they just do not feel good. The first time I put the older addiction walker on it was fantastic. These, not so much. Very uncomfortable shoe. I do not understand why these shoe companies keep changing the shoe styles. It is becoming increasingly difficult to find a good supportive shoe to wear and I don't know how I am going to continue my daily walks with some.

I believe I already wrote a review for this shoe, but I wanted to update it. I usually wear a size 10.5. I was wearing a size 10.5 narrow in the original Addiction Walker. Then I got custom orthotics at the same time as the Addiction Walker 2 came out, so I ordered a 10.5 medium to accommodate them. The shoe was long enough and wide enough, but my toes felt scrunched. I think the toe box is just too shallow. I then tried the New Balance 928v3 with my orthotics, in a 10.5 B (medium). Too large. So my next attempt was the Addiction Walker 2 in the 11 medium. I have never worn a size 11, but these were better, although my heel slips a bit. My toes feel good, though. We shall see if these work for me, or perhaps I will need an 11 narrow for a better fit in the heel. I am sure the original Addiction Walker would have fit well in the 10.5 medium. I wish that Brooks had not redesigned this shoe.
