I really want to like this one like my other Brooks shoes but this one is taking its time to break in. It's very stiff so at the end of a workday my feet are hurting. There's no soft cushion in the sole but ankle portion has cushion. It feels heavy but stable and easy to put on with its Velcro tabs. It's leather so easy to clean and spill proof and also non skid.

Shoes look very clumsy and they are short making my toes suffer. My regular running shoes in the same size fit very well and thus I will use one of them for walking. I need to return these shoes.

The shoes are very pretty especially for sneakers. However, the toe box isn't deep enough to wear with orthotics. My toe was hitting the top of the shoe. It could be a little wider. A wide shoe isn't the same from brand to brand. If the toe was less pointy, it would have helped both of these problems.

They are very comfortable but the soles are not slip resistant . Very slippery on wet floors. Very disappointed with that. Suppose to be slip resistant.

The V straps get loose easily, have to tighten up numerous times that lead to decreased productivity at work and they do not support ankles. I ended up wearing my old pair of regular "Addiction Walker".

. I have problem with wide toe and problem with my hands . This shoe extra wide is very good , just unfortunately there is no size 5/5.5 . I used to wear size 6 but extra wide size 6 is too loose like im wearing size 7. This company should make more availability for extra wide size 5/5.5 , and should make more black sneaker with strap

I've been wearing these for 20 years-podiatrist recommended. Quality has taken significant dive. Velcro straps shorter-catch on clothes. Insole shoddy- pilling after 1 hour-no support. Sole ridges changed- squeaks, slips on some surfaces. Edging around ankle area breaking down after 1 week. Brooks has thrown quality out the window. Time for another brand Time to find another shoe. Brooks has thrown quality out the window

The Addiction Walkers I bought about a year ago started squeaking immediately with every step. I needed new ones because they're my everyday shoe, so I kept them, hoping the noise would stop. It did not, and eventually the shoes became an embarrassment. I contacted Brooks in April, and the replies I got were of absolutely no help. One even suggested that sweaty feet from running were the problem. They're WALKERS, NOT RUNNING SHOES! I don't run!!! I've been buying Addictions for 14 years, and it's sad to say goodbye.

I tried the Velcro strap version of this shoe. They would not stay secure. I need to return. Guess I will stay with the lace up shoes. Please advise on your returns policy.

the fit and size is horrible. They are to wide and to long. Most uncomfortable Brooks shoe I have ever worn. I tried to get used to then, but it is not working. Can I send them Back and get credit for them?
