So I've been working in service industry for over 17 years now, and it's hard on the feet. I love Brooks for their running shoes, and I have been wearing them for years now. I was excited to see this shoe and figured I'd try them for work I bartend and I waitress, so I do a lot of standing and walking, and I'm in and out of the kitchen often so I figured the slip resistant would help... Unfortunately these shoes didn't do it for me. I've been wearing them for about three months. The quality isn't there, the rubber pieces at the tip of the toe on the outside of the shoe separated and stick straight out. They are not slip resistant at all, I've almost done the splits with these on more than once... The shiny material makes them look really cheap. My feet hurt so bad I've resorted to wearing my old shoes again until my new ones come.. I'm just really disappointed in them. I will continue to buy their running shoes, but not shoes for work.

This is hands down the ugliest shoe I have ever seen in my life. Must we punish walkers?

Purchased these hoping they?d be better than my Hokas and they weren?t. I have a wide foot and was looking forward to trying their extra wide size as Hoka doesn?t offer it in womens sizes. The toe box was too narrow for me and squished my foot anyway. Even the normal wide with Hoka was better fitting than these. They also felt awkward to walk in when I tested them at home, so unfortunately this shoe was a no go for me.

I do not run, I got the Brooks because I work on my feet all day and I have a pair of Ghost that are very comfortable, but I needed a solid black pair for work I thought the walking shoes would be comfortable but they are not comfortable. I was disappointed in the Walker 2

I am a restaurant server and overall the shoes feel decent on my feet. I do have custom orthotics that fit well inside the shoes. However, the Brooks Addiction nonslip shoes are horrible from the nonslip aspect. They are not nonslip at all and I have almost fallen several times as a result. I thought they would ?break in? so I didn?t want to give up on them so quickly as the shoes I used to wear Vionic Pros are not being made anymore. If you need nonslip shoes, stay away from these. Sorry Brooks, but you need to do better. Even crappy work Sketchers are better nonslip shoes.

Really wanted this to be my new work shoe but it felt at least a full size smaller than the non-leather version which I own. And it's not leather-feels like cheap plastic (returned it). I wish it had more arch support for flat feet since it's "max support" but so far only Ariel seems to have it.

These shoes were awful. Not just because they were not sent with packing in the shoes, apparently someone else had returned them. they seemed fine until I wore them for a day and received blisters. The leather feels really cheap and doesn't give.
Awful shoes, I cannot use them.

I've been wearing the Addition Walker for over 10 years same size/width. The Addition Walker 2 runs small, both in length and width so not true to size. The original version had linear insoles which was perfect for folks with no arch. The new version have an arch and my feet and knees hurt terribly at the end of the day. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED!!! Not sure why the design was changed. :-(

Alas the Addiction 2 does not fit like the Addiction 1 or original one, so my 9 D was too small and not comfortable at all. I had to send them back. Now I understand that no one is manufacturing any Addiction model so I must find another shoe for comfortable walking.

This is my 2nd pr of Addictions. Extremely dissatisfied with the sizing. I ordered 10.5, as my other Addictions were, and they are too tight. Cannot wear them.....new ones run smaller than the first version.

The shoes were too small and they squeaked. Not the addiction walkers that I bought before. Very disappointing.

I usually love Brooks, I've owned dozens of pairs, these however I will be returning. The heel cup is too low and my footstrike in these has given me a very new to me phenomenon of plantar fasciitis. Not saying they are bad, just don't work for me
