Great shoes

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] At first I wasn’t sure (felt stiff), but the more I wear them, the more I like them. They softened up, and they are very comfortable.

Not quality material!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very disappointed for the first time ever from Brooks! These shoes were very stiff, and actually felt like vinyl, not leather!

ONE GREAT SHOE

This is a great shoe. Haven't worn anything else for many, many years. You offer a hard to find size that is perfect for me. Thank you Brooks.

Great for all day wear.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my Addiction Walker 2 shoes. They are extremely comfortable and can be worn all day. Being leather they are durable and really easy to clean. I also like that they are waterproof which means when I travel wet weather isn't a problem.

Comfortable

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes were recommended by my podiatrist 12 years ago. I’ve been wearing them everyday since. They are durable and extremely comfortable.

Addiction walker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think they are more comfortable than the previous shoes I was wearing. They are heavier. Because they are heavier, I have noticed my legs are aching at end of the day. I hope I will get use to it. I did buy another pair of Brooks hoping they will be better.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've worn Addictions for years and while I occasionally try other brands, I keep coming back - for the comfort, for the quality, for the exceptional stability. Yes, I am addicted.

New version is disappointing

My podiatrist recommended Addiction Walker (the original) many years ago and I've been wearing them ever since. Very comfortable, great support, and I've loved them. But the new version, Addiction Walker 2, is not the same. They're not nearly as comfortable. Perhaps the materials and overall shape have changed somewhat, I don't know for sure. But something is different, For one thing, the toe box seems shorter.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My previous experience with Brooks, especially the Ghost model, was excellent. Unfortunately, I’m very disappointed with this slip-resistant version. After nearly two months of use, it caused severe ok pain in the plantar fascia of my right foot. I also recommended these shoes to a coworker, and she has experienced the same severe plantar fascia pain. Based on our experience, I cannot recommend this model.
