This is probably the 5th time that I purchased these shoes. But it is also the first time that I felt that the shoes needed to be ?broken in?. Previously I could put them on and instantly comfortable. This time not so much!

Comments and specs make this shoe something I want to try but could you put little more piazza in the shoe/little color like a racing strip color strip at the sole adjacent to the shoe on side so that I am not classified as an old conger wearing these shoes. I am 74 and obviously old but not really dead yet. I wear narrow sizes . Help please I love your shoes and styles and the way they fit.

I love these shoes, but I want the bone color back !! Only nurses wear white shoes and black is not good for summer !

The shoes are very comfortable, and fit really well. My issue with them is that they squeak when I walk

Great shoes! I work in a winery serving and it gets slippery- even though you still have to go slow these are great non-slip and very durable for heavy work on your feet all day. Did I mention they are comfortable! I love slipping them on and going with the Velcro. No tying! Reason for 4 start they are very bulky and heavy. If they made these lighter more form fitting could be the best shoes on earth! Thank you Brooks for happy feet you gave me in my work.

Nice, comfortable shoe, but they just look awkward and clunky. Couldn't do it.

Kinda big...looks like an old person shoes. Klunky? But I like them well enough to keep them.

It's a good shoe with good support for my high arch, and my favorite broad toe box. A bit warm for summer, as I prefer the mesh for hot weather, but will be great in cold weather.

These are comfortable with my insoles and provide good support that keeps my foot in neutral position. They are heavier than necessary, and it makes zero sense that the top strap is so short when the shoe is marketed for high arches. I end up with the top strap shy of lapping over the Velcro by about an inch. That inch of exposed Velcro gets caught on the inside of my pants and looks odd. It's damaging the inside of my pants. I bought a second pair for my brother who has a higher arch than I do. He doesn't have any inserts in his shoes but cannot even close the top strap. Has helped reduce my foot pain. Please fix the top strap.

Im not a runner, but I am on my 6th pair of addiction walkers. I like the old style better than the new rounded toe ones.
I love the velcro instead of the ties. I wish that you would make the bone color in velcro as well.

Good basic shoe if you are on your feet all day. A little stiff and a tad heavy. These are not running shoes. I am glad I got them for work.

I purchase the Walker shoe. I've bought them for over ten years. I like the velcro straps. I buy them because I haven't found a better feeling shoe.

Nice quality and easy to get on and off. I have wide feet so I bought wide. Although My next pair I will order extra wide.

Well built. Runs about 1/2 size too small. A little too clunky for me. Returned only because I needed the next size up but I might reorder.

The fit seems good. Close to the Brooks Addiction I have been wearing for years. Didn't purchase Brooks Addiction 2 because many reviews said the fit and feel very different from original style. I don't like the velcro closing, but no tie closing available in my size. Additionally, I miss the bone color. Please bring back the original style in bone, with laces.

Too hard and stiff for me for a lot of walking. Also, the heel is too wide and my socks slip down. I like the straps better than ties.

For this price point, I expected the shoes to be more supportive and have more cushioning in the sole. They aren't awful, but they weren't comfortable enough that I'd want to wear them for long walks or all day. The reason I sent them back, however, is that they are just really really ugly. I didn't expect high fashion given the style and such, but these don't look even as good (ish) in real life as they do in the photo. I felt like I was wearing giant golf shoes.

The shoe felt larger than the other Brooks I have in the same size. This shoe is also VERY heavy in comparison. The weight of these shoes with the arthritis in my knees just wouldn't work. I returned the shoes. Shoes vary person to person. I'm sure they're a great shoe for some just not for me.

The tongues are too bulky and stiff. I have to wear them everyday as the Addiction walker has been the only shoe I can wear for the past 6 years.

I have a high arch and the shoes were not a good fit. I need to have a tie shoe not a skip-in.
