Customer Reviews Brooks Addiction Walker 2

I have arthritis in my right knee and this is the only shoe that makes my knee feel good even after prolonged walking. It comfortable and supportive.

The Addiction Walker 2 was recommended to me by my podiatrist. I was having trouble with heel pain and planter's fasciitis. After buying the shoes, he added an orthotic. Six weeks later I was pain-free. It really was magical. It was especially important to me that I was able to get an extra wide size with a very generous toe box. It is now the only shoe I wear. I strongly recommend the shoe to anyone, but especially people with foot problems.

I walk about 10 miles a day at work. I brought the Brooks addition II nine months ago and they are holding up well. I replaced the insoles about three times so far. I'm pleased with my purchase. My feet are pleased with the Brooks shoes.

I was skeptical when I saw that this style had been updated last year. I bought a pair and have walked on them for six months. The new style is an improvement. I don't get foot pain and these are rugged shoes. I walk a lot and tear up my shoes but these look pretty good after six months and many miles. The only small complaint I have is that the shoe strings are about two inches too long and I sometimes "step on the loop" and untie them when I am walking.

I'm a bartender and spend a lot of time on my feet during the week. I've always had issues with foot and knee pain as a result, and these are hands-down the best shoes I've found for minimizing that pain. They're extremely comfortable, offer great arch-support, and feature a very effective slip-resistant sole. I highly recommend these shoes to anyone working in foodservice with chronic foot pain.

I've owned several pairs of the previous Addiction Walker, I walk at least five miles a day, and find this new modelmore comfortable.

Very comfortable walking shoe

Solidly built shoe with excellent support, protection, & traction. Besides walking, I use it for trail rucking carrying 20% bodyweight, resistance training, & mountain biking, all with good results. By design, too stiff for most HIIT, which is not a criticism. This is now one of my three go-to shoes: boots for long hikes, running shoes for running & HIIT, and this for everything else. Haven't owned it long enough to see how well the sole wears; hopefully it will hold up longer than the typical cross-trainer.

Probably had ten pairs of these over the years. Mixed in other brands along the way and keep coming back to these. Just outstanding. I know all feet are not the same, but these work for me. I buy mine at Amazon

Walk 10k to 15k steps daily on cement floors, this is my 20th pair

Very good walking shoe but left one was short (toes a little cramped)

Great shoe, I am 75 years old and wear an ankle brace in my right ankle for arthritis, a little hard to put the shoe on. After it is on, it feels great and allows me support for a daily walk with my dog. Maybe a tad more flexibility at the top of the laces.

well.. i got them as a xmas gift for my ex husband and have not given them to him yet.. hes not a runner he will prob use them for work.. has a catering business and is on his feet alot

I have been using AW for many years, the positives compared to the originals walkers. The insole and tread are n the bottom of the show lasts longer than the previous model, but 2 times I have slipped and went down on the ground wearing these shoes. It could have been my error but I never slipped wearing the old addition walkers. I am satisfied with them

I think the old style was more comfortable and durable. The leather in the tow of the new style shoe cracked and created a hole in less than a year. The plastic stripey stuff on the sides looks cheap compared to the old model.

The shoes are too heavy for walking shoes, especially when you walk 8-10 miles every morning. I am thinking of returning it. They were also a little tight. I only had only worn twice. I always bought running shoes they are light but they wear out too quickly. The last pair, inside was worn out under the balls of the foot. I may move from brooks to another brand. I think the quality of the shoes is going down.
