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.

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 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.

I am so glad these came back in my size. I always have 2 pairs as I walk to work in these almost everyday.

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!
