Customer Reviews Brooks Addiction Walker 2

My three star rating has nothing whatsoever to do with the size or fit or appearance. I have actually ordered these shoes for at least the last 10 years. I have numerous foot problems and these have been the only shoe I’ve been able to wear comfortably. My issue is not with size fit or comfort. I have actually recently ordered two of these pair of shoes because the first pair was considered defective. The issue with the shoe was a very loud squeaking while walking. I could not wear them it was so loud. I ordered a second pair as advised by your sales representative. The second pair of shoes has a slight squeak but I am hopeful that that will dissipate in time. Just an FYI, the problem is the leather material on the tongue rubs on the underside on the inside of the shoe. Hopefully the manufacturer will investigate and correct. I’ve never had this happen before with previous Brooks addiction walkers. Everything else about the shoe is perfect! Thanks for listening. PS your customer service is amazing!

I do not like that Brooks made changes to their leather sneakers. Removing the leather tongue was a mistake. It is not enough cushion in the tongue and it is very uncomfortable. Otherwise the shoe is fine. However if I find another sneaker with the same support I will no longer be purchasing this brand sneakers.

If you order these shoes, please order at least a half a size larger than you usually wear. I usually wear a 9 and had to return them. I then ordered a 9 1/2 and they fit better. Since they are leather, they will stretch. Otherwise they are very comfortable shoes.

I bought this shoe in black and liked it so much decided to buy a pair in white while they were still available. The white shoe seems to have less arch support but still was a good fit overall. However, after wearing the shoes for a couple of days there is a very noticeable squeak when walking! I don't know if there is a way to remedy this problem. If I hadn't worn the shoes, I would have returned them. Very disappointed in this pair!!!

Not for me. Brooks changed a wonderful shoe & this is no good now.

I am very disappointed in the Brooks Addiction Walker 2. It isn't as comfortable, and seems much flimsier, lacking the support of the original Walker. Both my podiatrist and my trusted shoe salesperson commented that the quality seems to have gone way down. I'm also disappointed that Brooks discontinued the Bone color for the women's Walker; it was a very nice alternative to the dead-white athletic shoe look, and didn't show the dirt.

I have worn the Brooks Walker for years and loved the support and comfort. These shoes felt short even though I went 1/2 size up. They just didn't have the support across the instep and heel area that I found in my old Brooks Walkers.

Was very disappointed about the new style, feel, and smell! It smells as if it was plastic instead leather. Okay, I know it's not a stylish shoe but why making it worse that the original shoe was? However, I return this shoe for a larger size and try again. These shoes look gigantic! But I need to fit in orthopedics and it also seems to be the only slippery resistant shoe I can find.

These shoes feel like a dream and I've walked many miles since I got them. However, the first time around Zappos sent me dirty shoes, they had clearly been worn outside. Their returns are not as easy as they were years ago, and I am pretty disappointed. They used to enclose a return label, but because I was sent dirty shoes that were clearly used, I had to call them which is never convenient. If I am paying this amount for shoes I expect them to be brand new. I won't order from Zappos again, seems like they don't check items that were returned to make sure they are fine to sell. If I wanted used shoes, I would go to the thrift store. Zappos did make it right, but it should not happen in the first place.

I wore the shoes (outside) TWICE. The material is hard, and not comfortable.at all. There is no absorption in the soles. It's like walking on car tires, ie, hard rubber. I'm a senior and I was looking for a comfortable walking shoe for my morning walks... This isn't it. I'll have to find someone to give them to or donate them to charity.

They cut into my heels. Had a hard time getting them on. The material seemed a bit shoddy. Won't order this brand again.
