Customer Reviews Brooks Addiction Walker 2

Did not like this shoe, returned it. Did not like the leather, or the new insole. Very dissatisfied with this new shoe.

The fit was perfect but they were really heavy and didn't breath. I ended up returning them and purchasing the Adrenaline which is awesome.

I have worn these shoes for over 20 years. They were recommended by my podiatrist. So, when I ordered the new version I thought they would be the same support, etc. They are in no way the same shoe. I had to change to another one. Which, by the way are not as good either. I actually went to a new podiatrist yesterday. She told me she only wears Brooks shoes. But, she said the same thing about the new addictions. They do not have the same support. She recommended another brand. Which I do not like. The new ones are to narrow. So, Brooks, I wish you would still carry your old design also. For people like us who have problems with our feet.

You ruined the shoe by adding fluffy padding to the insole. We want the original addiction back.

I have worn the Addiction Walker in the past and it was a very comfortable shoe. I bought my usual size (7.5 D) and was very disappointed. They were small in length and width. They were not comfortable at all. I was very disappointed in this new addition.

The shoes are horrible. They have a hard sole which is very uncomfortable to walk on and the shoe is heavy. I will be returning them. I walk a lot at work and the shoes make my back hurt.

I have worn the Addiction version for many years and never had a speck of trouble with them. Always the same fit (8.5 N) and the same great support for walking 4 to 5 miles a day. The new version, however, had to be ordered in a 9 N and is now causing a problem with my left ankle as there does not seem to be the same support as the previous version. I am very bummed as it is so hard to find comfortable sneakers. Wish you hadn't messed with a good thing. The old version was fine. You had a good thing going. Am considering returning them and trying other brands for better quality support.

I have plantar fasciitis and this is the only shoe I can wear. I cannot wear the new version of this shoe because of the way it fits around the ankle. I was able to find the old style on another site, but I hope you will bring back the old design.

The redesign does not work for me. Specifically, the back of the upper shoe rubs on the back of my ankle. The 2 protrusions are placed closer together than on the original version. I'm very disappointed and now I'm at a loss for shoes that fit me. New is definitely not better.

I have had many pairs of Addiction walkers and have liked all of them, because they did not bounce around like tennis shoes. I received my 2020 walkers yesterday. These are so bouncy that after two hours, I had pain in my leg and ankle. The material of these shoes on the upper side acts like a barrier so your feet cannot breathe. I cannot recommend these shoes, therefore cannot give a star. Disappointed!
