Brooks Women's Addiction Walker Suede Walking Shoe

These aren’t particularly stylish shoes. On the other hand, they also don’t look like old people shoes which are often clunky with enormous soles. They don’t call attention to your feet. I like that these provide support for the bottom and the top of my foot and allow me to walk pain-free for a much longer period of time than in previous sport shoes. That’s not a bad trade for the lack of “coolness”. The insoles are not overly soft but just enough cushion so that it supports the arch of my foot. I’d like to see some better color choices but no real complaints with this shoe. Tip: if putting on sneakers is hard, consider elastic shoelaces which make it easier.

These are designed for my aging feet. Nice wide toe area with good support and plenty of room to wiggle my toes without feeling squished. Wide base for stability. Fits snuggly at my narrow heels and do not slip. Thick cushioning for walking on hard surfaces. I also like the lavender color. I have had many Brooks shoes, however they are lighter weight and designed more for running. These are my preferred shoes because they are designed for walking. I am not a runner. Rather, I walk my German Shepherd dogs daily. These were an excellent purchase.

Brooks shoes tend to run a little small. I had to get this one in a 10.5wide, normally I wear a 9regular. That said, this shoe is awesome! Great support that allows me to walk pain free. I have plantar fasciitis in one foot and bunions...but this shoe absolutely allows me to walk around for hours without the normal pain. needless to say I’m now ordering pair #2 of these. Little expensive, but completely worth it.

I was wearing Vionics with my orthotics, but they were wearing out and my foot was starting to hurt me. I have had a long history of problems with my left foot having had laser treatment, orthotics, and a couple of rounds of oral steroids to help with the pain (not to mention steroid injections a few years ago from another podiatrist). So, getting a good pair of shoes is essential to me. I tried New Balance and they killed my feet (pain, as well as my left foot tended to slap). I tried SAS shoes and while I can wear them, they were never really comfortable. I was skeptical when I got these but with the roll bar, the lace up style, and the large toe box, I thought I'd give them a try. They felt good when I first put them on, but after a few hours my feet were killing me. However, I knew that you had to break them in. After about 3-4 days of limited wear, I was able to wear them all day. Now after about 2 weeks or so, I can feel the cushioning, and they are pretty comfortable, even with my bad feet. I threw my other worn Vionic pair out, gave my other pair to charity, and will be buying another pain of Brooks for everyday. I will also be buying another pair (white) for my nursing job (I teach nursing and so I am on my feet a lot). These shoes are well made, they are approved by my podiatrist, and so I am happy with this purchase. Addendum: This shoe has proved a bit short. My toes hit the end of the shoe which is not to my liking. I will have to remember to order a half size bigger next time, but since this was the same shoe that I bought before, this took me by surprise. So, there shoes are a bit inconsistent as to size. Unfortunately, I did not really realize this fact until after I had worn the shoe for a few hours and could not send it back as it was worn.

I have multiple issues with my feet and thought I was going to have to start wearing orthopedic shoes which are extremely ugly if you haven’t had the pleasure of checking them out. Then I got these. Toe box is roomy which I have to have and the heel of the shoe just fits and cradles the heel of the foot. So I have the room I need in the toes, good arch support and my heel doesn’t slip and slide or feel insecure when walking. Very happy with this purchase and highly recommend

I have nothing bad to say about these shoes. The Brooks running shoes I've had (and still have) don't last as long as I'd like, but then I think none do. Like those, these walkers are nearly perfect and are far more attractive and less flamboyant for everyday use. I wish they'd either last a long time or cost a third as much. I have some foot issues that nothing seemed to help until I went back to Brooks. High stability, great support, enough sole stiffness, comfort, good looks. How about more color choices? :)

This is my fourth pair of Brooks shies. I have lived every pair until these. I ordered the exact same size I’ve always worn in them but this latest pair run at least a size smaller. I’m not sure the reason. Brooks are great shoes, just beware when ordering.

I have custom orthotics and still need a lot of pronation control. Brooks Addictions have been my go-to for over a decade. My local store no longer carries them, so I have been ordering them. This time I have a bit of a quibble with the fit of the shoe on my right foot; there seems to be a bit more rubbing on the inside of my great toe and on the top of my foot. I can ignore it after a while, but I wonder if the fit control is as good as it used to be? OTOH, maybe my feet are changing with age, but it is only my right foot. I hope it breaks in a bit and is not a problem, because let me tell you, if you need pronation control these have it!

Wearing brooks for many years great shoes

Terrible quality. The sole came undone from the upper side of the shoe near the toes. Impossible to repair so they are useless after 6 months.
