I've suffered through a number of shoes claiming to be designed for chronic plantar fasciitis, primarily New Balance. About two and a half years ago I ask a woman with foot problems (caused by diabetes) what shoemaker had the best shoes to ease her pain. She suggested that I check out Brooks shoes. I did, and found that people had very good things to say about Brooks Addictions walking shoes. They were expensive at the time ($200, the same as a New Balance pair). I was tired of the claims about New Balance when they did nothing for my pain, so I took a chance. The Addictions were designed by someone who knew what they were doing. Its cushioned insert feels strange at first,

I have had this Brooks Addiction Walker shoe for over two years now. The CEO (& owner) of the company I worked for bought a pair for every full time employee in the company (thousands of employees) because he was so pleased with how they had helped him ( *I could work 12 hrs a day up to six days a week, so .....). What a difference they made! No more foot pain, even after the long days. No more poorly designed shoes for me. I wore them almost every day I worked. They held up well but finally the sole has worn almost through. The body of the shoe has held up well with only scuffing on the toe.The customer reviews had indicated the piece of the sole that curled up over the toe would come loose from the toe.

These shoes are wonderful!! My husband has feet problems and very hard to find shoes that are wide enough through the toe area. He has to have a very wide shoe like a 4EEEE these are not easy to find. He also works in hardware store and is on concrete floor 10 hrs a day. His feet and ankles were killing him by the end of the day. I started looking for him some shoes and found these Shoes by Brooks. We had never heard of them but they had some great reviews from guys that did same sort of work and they said they were very comfortable. I took a chance and they fit him perfect!! He loves them and his feet love them❤️He don’t come home at end of the day with aching feet so I’m so glad stumbled on these they are real ?!

This was the third pair of shoes I ordered. The first pair was the Vionic Walker model. I own another style of Vionic's in a size 12 wide so I ordered a pair of their Walker's in the same size despite many reviews about the shoe running small and narrow. The reviews were correct about the fit and I returned them. Decided on the Brooks and combed the reviews on sizing. There were a few about the shoe running small and ordered the recommended 1/2 size larger. Got the 12.5 4E and to my dismay the shoe was way too long but the width was perfect. Returned the for the 12 4E and they fit perfect. THIS SHOE RUNS TRUE TO SIZE despite the reviews saying different. I can attest to that concern.

First off - ordered a size 8, which is my usual size...that was just a bit small, so returned for an 8.5. I was not sure about ordering these shoes, as I have an autoimmune disease which has affected my feet causing a lot of pain at times, the "wrong" footwear can really cause a lot of problems and, I can only wear certain shoes. Until recently those shoes were MBT's, my tried and tested chosen footwear. But recently MBT's changed the manufacture of their shoes, and the soles have developed a fault, after buying three pairs and the soles falling to bits at various stages post purchase, I decided I had to find a new brand. I am so happy I found Brookes Addiction Walkers. These shoes are AMAZING.

My husband was happy when I purchased this shoe for him, as he is on his feet all day long. He said from the moment he put them on, they felt wonderful.Unfortunately, they are not waterproof, something I should have noticed but did not. Living in Oregon, and living on a farm, there is little chance he will be able to wear these enough to reap the benefits to his knees they are purported to give. It's a pretty steep price to pay for shoes you can't wear outside when it is wet, and in Oregon, it is usually wet all the time.I will look into purchasing some kind of waterproofing, but my husband says it is pretty futile. The snowseal he mentioned, etc.==-he said they just don't work unless the shoes start out waterproofed.

My son is 6'4 and 280 pounds. He works hard all day, on his feet till he crawls in bed at night. He goes thru shoes fast. He wears down the soles of Nike shoes quick. I just gave him these Brooks for the first time, after reading reviews how they are the most comfortable shoes ever. Well, he just told me tonight after wearing them for two weeks, " Mom, these are the best, most comfortable shoes Ive ever had ". Ive always spent little more than $100 on shoes for him thru the years because he has always been a bigger guy and I felt he needed the extra comfort, but never have I bought Brooks....Im sold....I will buy these again, once he wears them down, hopefully it will be awhile.

I generally wear Brooks Beast shoes because of my overpronation, and I like the level of rigidity/support that they provide. I bought these Addiction Walkers to have something slightly less casual for work, and I also wanted something all leather.My impressions after a few weeks of regular wear are that they fit slightly large, and are definitely less of a supportive shoe than the Beast. Maybe that is because they run large, and/or because it is more difficult to lace them tightly compared to the Beast. Comfort is good, and they look very unobtrusive. Being all leather they do not ventilate like the partially-mesh Beasts.Overall I think they are a good alternative to a casual shoe.

As other reviewers have noted, these shoes as currently marketed, run a bit small. I took the advice of one reviewer and returned the shoes I bought for a pair 1/2 size larger and quadruple E instead of double E. They fit well and are quite superior in fit and comfort to New Balance Walkers of a similar style for half the price. I find some New Balance shoes to be quite good, but the walkers were not. The Brooks Addiction Walker seems to be sturdy and well-made. Buying two pairs of one shoe is not better if your feet pay a price as well. I did buy two pairs of the Brooks, one black and one brown, because of how well they fit when properly sized. They are priced a bit higher,

I've only had these shoes a few weeks, but so far I would say that they are among the best shoes I have ever owned. Very comfortable, almost like slippers. The sole is firm and very supportive. This is important to me since I have suffered with plantar fasciitis in the past. I have always worn New Balance shoes, but my NB 928s eventually developed a ridge under the toes which became painful. In addition I had to buy expensive Superfeet inserts for them. I don't believe that the Brooks shoes will need the inserts because of the great support that is built into them. By the way, per the reviews that I read on this shoe,

I returned Brooks UK12 and bought Brooks UK11 which fit fine. My other UK12 insoles fit in these Brooks UK11s.I'm grateful for the 4E width as I have wide feet.Now I'm more familiar with Brooks sizing I might consider Brooks for a summer ventilated trainer depending on how these hold up.Happily these aren't as smart as a shiny polished black shoe yet they don't look too much like a trainer so they should be smart enough for a smart restaurant.The shoes feel comfortable enough, though I found the insole arch slightly uncomfortable because the insole arch angles sharply. I solved that by using my old shoes insoles which are smoothly-curved.I expect them to hold up well as they should for

About 15 years ago I was diagnosed with severe overpronation in my feet. I was having tremendous foot pain when I walked, and was developing horrible arthritis in my feet. The podiatrist recommended orthotics and Brooks sneakers. I put on the Brooks Beast sneakers and my feet were in HEAVEN. I wear them everywhere, including to my office. I would go to meetings wearing sneakers and would get an occasional odd look. That is when I decided to buy these guys. They give you the same level of Brooks support and look more like a casual dress shoe (or close enough). Light, well made and incredible support. You can not go wrong with these guys. They run a little small so go up 1/2 a size.

I purchased these shoes 4 years ago and have put several hundred miles on them in that time. Whenever I buy a new pair of walking/hiking shoes and go out hiking I always carry another older pair just in case the new ones aren't comfortable or are causing blisters. These shoes from day one have been the most comfortable and reliable shoes for hiking I've ever owned. Last year I purchased a pair of New Balance and began breaking them in hoping they would at some point be as comfortable as the Brooks. So far they don't even compare. These are still going but will probably need to be replaced within the next year. Hopefully the newer ones will be as good as the first I bought.

I was experiencing foot issues. I visited my podiatrist and the first thing she suggested was better footwear. Specifically she recommended Addiction Walkers. After purchasing a pair locally and wearing them for a couple days at work I returned to my doctor for a follow up visit. The very first thing in said to her was, “I didn’t know that my feet weren’t supposed to hurt!”These shoes are wonderful. The I just ordered two more pair to replace my worn out ones (shoes do wear out, even if they do not look like they are outwardly). These are the seventh pair I have owned. Do you and your feet a favor and take care of them with good footwear.

Great shoe which has given me great service day in day out. With 2 bad knees and a fused spine, I can honestly recommend these for a try. Everyone is different, but these have been superb for me. No other shoe has come close.Only one niggle - after a year and a half, the toe cap rubber lip has started to peel off both shoes and this looks unsightly. In fact they end up as a garden shoe which are very costly for the job! Why they put it on in the first place I have no idea. Anyone else had this problem? A well made rounded sole would do the same job. Overall 4 stars but a definite 5 star for comfort, one star being lost for the toe caps.
