Customer Reviews Brooks Addiction Walker V-Strap 2

I've been wearing Brooks Addiction Walker shoes for several years in the lace style. This is the first pair I bought with the velcro straps. I think they might be just slightly wider and because of this are actually a bit more comfortable. The difference in the width is nothing significant and would not stop me from buying them. I'm going to order another pair in white (I bought the black). I wish they made the beige ones with the velcro strap - much easier to put on for me at my age than the lace up ones.

I've been wearing the Addiction Walker for years, it was recommended by my podiatrist. I look at all the pretty colored sports footware and always come back to the comfort this shoe offers. They also hold up very well under heavy use. My only wish is for more colors.

have purchased brooks' shoes before, but the addiction walker permits more flexibility. its velcro straps are positioned similarly to laces, i.e., they can be loosened or tightened, then secured. dansko, also sold by zappos, designs with velcro straps, but its shoes only allow for closure. as a woman of a certain age with arthritis, i am appreciative of brooks selling the addiction walker with either adjustable velcro straps or laces. additionally, the shoes are sturdy & comfortable right out of the box. job well done, brooks (& zappos too)!

I love Brooks! It's the only athletic shoe I can wear. These Walking shoes are no different. Fit perfectly. Having the velcro straps is a little different but I have a bad hip and knee. So bending over to tie laces can be a challenge on some days. The velcro proves very helpful on those days. I would recommend these to anyone who is starting a walking program or simply wants comfortable shoes to wear out in the world. Yes, the white is bright and a bit old lady-ish but I'm an old lady, so don't care! Comfort is most important.

Perfect right out of the box. Now ordering my third pair. My orthotics fit, absolutely no discomfort with my hammer toe or bunionsl My Podiatrist really liked them.

This shoe has helped me become more active and walk more frequently. I had to size up and get a 9.5 D instead of a 9D. The fit is extremely comfortable. To me, the cushioning is just right. I can wear these shoes all day, and feel comfortable in them. They are not a light shoe. So if you’re looking for a very light shoe, this is not it. But I would recommend this walking shoe to anyone who it’s just starting out walking. I have Achilles tendinitis, and the shoe has helped with that quite a bit.

I did not receive the V-Strap style I ordered but the lace-up version of this shoe. They were extremely comfortable, the fit was perfect, and I liked the look. However, this new style changed the body of the shoe in such a way that I could not wear my AOF brace. It would not fit in the heel of the shoe. I was willing to overlook not getting the V-Strap style, but I can't walk without the brace, so I had to send the shoes back. So disappointing.

The shoe was heavy and felt like the sole had no give. It felt like I was walking in heavy, concrete shoes. Not comfortable but I needed a shoe with a velcro tie because I had broken my left thumb. I could not tie shoelaces without both hands plus it hurt to tie the laces. This shoe was a "port in a storm". They used to be comfortable, good shoes that always fit perfectly. These pair were a great disappointment. Brooks you be able to make your shoes cheaper to get your costs go down, but if they no longer work for the customer, you lost them.

I was tempted but found that the velcro closing was not as snug as the tie. I need a really sturdy shoe and the laced Addiction Walker is perfect for me.

We have been using the Brooks Addiction/Addiction 2 for at least 15 years. They are great. Our podiatrist says these are very good supporting shoe. Keep on trucking. The only negative I see in them is the strap needs to be about 1/2" longer so you can get a hold of it to take them off.

Great Shoes and very comfortable and durable. Have purchased this shoes for 5 times . Highly recommended!!!

Loved them, perfect for delivering

We have only had them a couple of weeks but my elderly mother has found these to be very comfortable and provides good support and toe room.

These are great shoes and I own the lace up ones. Thought these would be easier with the velcro straps and for most people they would be. I have arthritis in my right hand so grapping, pulling and snugging up the left shoe was difficult. Otherwise, I can certainly recommend them for comfort and ease (for those without a hand issues)

These are the sturdiest and most comfortable diabetic shoes I've ever had!
