I have worn Brooks shoes for years. The last pair I purchased approximately three years ago aggravated and caused achilles tendonitis inflammation which resulted in me having to wear a boot for months - because of this, I was unable to wear a new pair of shoes. I recently tried the Addiction Walker V-Strap but was disappointed when the velcro was not long enough to go across the top of my foot - nor did the shoe feel like a 9 wide. I had to return them. Really disappointed. Brooks has always been good for me.

I walk daily, usually about three miles on paved trails. While these have good foot support, the straps loosen as you walk and the shoes do not feel secure when that happens.

The feel of these shoes was pretty awesome but one afternoon just walking around and it hurt my whole foot. The shoe is not level and it has a little bit of heel height which does not bode well for me. I liked the fact that it had velcro straps so I didn't have to tie my shoes but the overall comfort was not good. I returned them quickly.

I used these shoes to work in a cafeteria kitchen. The nonslip feature works extremely well. But the shoes are too stiff around the outer edges of the foot and ankle. In terms of comfort they are ok.

A particular health issue makes finding any shoes that fit increasingly near-impossible. These are very nice shoes - as are any Brooks shoes I have ever worn (in the past) so my needing to return is not a problem of the shoes but a big problem with the health condition and finding proper shoes.

I am autistic and live with chronic pain so I need sneakers to wear all day, everyday. Sometimes it's hard for me to tie my shoes, so I decided to give Velcros a try and I've worn these ones every day for the last 6 months! I always need to have both shoes feel exactly the same, so adjusting straps is easier than tying laces and these feel like hugs for my feet. I wore them to the doctor and she liked them, she said they were a good choice. I like the black ones because they match with everything, I asked for the white ones for my birthday because I think they will look nice with skirts and shorts this summer.

I am autistic and have chronic back pain making it hard to stand for a long time. I need sneakers I can wear all day every day, so I got the black ones. I like the velcros because both shoes have to feel exactly the same and the straps are a lot easier than laces, they feel like hugs for my feet. I wear these every day and everywhere for the last 6 months. When I wore them to the doctor she said they were a good choice too!

This shoe has been my shoe of choice for many years. It was recommended to me by my chiropractor. I am flat footed and needed a stable shoe. Now years later I have be come some what disabled in my hips and I depend on these shoes for good stability. Thank you Brooks for your good quality shoes.

I purchased the shoes for my mother. My mom is 88 years ago so I have been purchased Glycelin and Hoka Bondi 8 for her but she didn't wear the shoes. Because she inconvenience to lace it up when she wear the shoes. Because she is very old woman. So I searched official web-site of Brooks at last I found Addiction Walker V-Strap2. Immediately, I bought the shoes and then gave the shoes to my mom for Holiday season gift. She is always wearing the shoes. She said 'it's very comfortable and pretty sturdy. Thanks Brooks.

I love these shoes- they are just what I was looking for as I work at walking more. My feet love them and also my fingers. I'm going on 91 and my fingers don't work so well at tying shoe laces. The velcro V-Strap is just what I needed. Thank you!

I have been wearing these shoes a year now and no complaints. My back and feet do not hurt after an 8 hour a shift as a nurse in a busy department. I love the velcro straps. I also love I can choose wide to give my toes room to properly expands. I would definitely recommend.

The toes seemed tighter than what I usually get for my size. With the Velcro straps, I could make the entire fit looser but would have preferred a slightly wider toe with the rest of the shoe fitting as is.

My favorite walking shoe. It’s a great leather shoe and very durable. The older I get the more I like Velcro closures, especially when I need to adjust the shoes while I am on long walks. Please make them in brown.

Fit and size just right. I have learned to order the D width rather than a B width which is what I normally wear. The D does not feel any wider but the Velcro band easily crosses over the arch. The B width Velcro band on the other hand only goes about halfway.

I just love addiction walker extra wide width, it?s my second pair. It?s the only shoe brand I am wearing now, very friendly and convenient with my bunions. I just hope brooks offer more extra wide options for women.

I bought these for my elderly mother and she loves them. They provide her good support and they are easy for her to put on and off and secure the velcro rather than try to tie her shoes. She regularly tells me how much she likes them.

Good support for pronation, balance and alignment. Also V-straps are much quicker than shoestrings when putting on or taking off shoes.

I have worn Brooks Addiction for 30 years and they take the pain out of my feet and feel great. They also help with balance and are a blessing for my husband as we get older. I just wish it was made in 3 Colors including beige.
