I walk for exercise and this Guess Bali shoe is the best I’ve ever worn. It has comfort, support and looks. The width, double a, is perfect - something I rarely find.
My second pair! This walking shoe fits my 10 Narrow and gives cushioning and support where I need it! I made my first pair last a year–I walk 2-3 miles at least 3 times a week. (I think I’ll get new ones sooner next time. I could tell I’d worn them too long.) I plan to stay with the Brooks Addiction Walker for good. I’ve had foot problems before, but with this shoe I’m cured!!! Well worth the money.
Heidi Says - The Guess Bali Sandals helped reduce pain in my foot caused by an accident injury and resultant disability. I find I can walk longer with less pain than when I wore Nikes. Although they are a little on the expensive side, I prefer the Brooks shoes over any other.
Prescribed by my orthopedic surgeon - I had pretty extensive foot surgery earlier this year-Didn’t put my right foot on the floor for 8 weeks and then was in one of those boots for another 6 weeks. This was the shoe I started to walk in (with custom orthotics) and I’m still wearing them exclusively, and will be wearing them exclusively for another 4 months or so. I have them in white and in black and the right Bali shoe had to be widened to accommodate the swelling in my foot. These shoes have been very, very satisfactory and I’ve had (surprisingly) absolutely no pain since starting to wear them. My doctor wears Brooks himself (not this particular style) and thinks they’re the best.
I’m on my feet at least 8 hours a day on concrete floors. With high arches, a narrow heel it’s always a tough fit. This shoe fits the bill. Lots of support, and a very comfortable fit. I took an extra pair with me on the first day I wore these, never needed them. A really great fitting Bali Sandal.
This is a good walking footwear at a good price. I have bought this style of footwear before and knew that it wouldn’t need a breaking in period. The arch support and stability are good in this style. I often have pain in the ball of my foot, but not when I wear these.
I sprained both feet in a fall this spring and none of my shoes gave my feet enough support to walk without pain until I tried these. I have lousy feet anyway - bunions, wide and high instep - so I was especially pleased that these shoes require no breaking in yet give excellent support
Not sure yet - After reading the other reviews, I decided to buy these shoes. I bought them in WW width. While I have no problem with the overall width, my feet have hurt when I am wearing the shoes around my arch/heel area. I have only worn them 3x so far, so I am hoping the problem goes away. They also rub around the ankle area and the shoe laces that come with the shoe are way too short. This shoe is excellent if you’re working on your feet all day long!!!! Very comfortable from the very first that you place them on your feet!!!! Great arch support too!!!! I should’ve had these years ago!!!! My feet have hurt me constantly in the balls of my foot and heels. Ever since buying and wearing the Addiction Walker I have had no problems. I only wish Brooks made a comparable dress shoe.
I bought these based on other recommendations for a vacation I was about to take that included a lot of walking. These shoes were the most comfortable walking shoes I have ever worn! I walked for miles, and never felt any foot or ankle fatigue. My orthotics fit perfectly in them too! Will keep buying them.
Okay, so I got my shoes and I knew they weren’t the best looking and I put them on and took off to the store. The comfort of no internal seams was wonderful as I don’t wear socks and the seams usually rub. My disappointment came with the heel cushioning. I went to the store and by the time I was done I had that familiar throbbing in my heels. However, this only happens when I wear them on concrete floors like the floors in supermarkets but that was why I bought the shoes - to cushion my heels. No don’t misunderstand - they are comfortable and well cushioned everywhere else but there is something lacking in the heel cushioning. It was a disappointment since I do not care for the look of the shoe but decided to bite the bullet and go for the comfort not the looks and they didn’t do the job. I have had foot problems all my life, and I never even think about my feet wearing these shoes. Super comfortable, true to size, feeling of stability, lots of cushion–and one can polish them to keep them looking nice. No fabric on the outside to get dirty. Narrow foot - I have an extremely narrow foot and this is the first “gym” shoe that comes close to fitting. I like the looks and the fit. This is my 2nd pair of Brooks Addiction Walker. The first pair lasted 2 years.
Due to recent foot surgery I now have to wear orthodics. It was suggested I try the Brooks Walker. I bought the Brook’s Addiction based over other reviews and they were all correct! Looks good, wears good, price was right and I got them really quick! Very Good Buy!
I have overpronating feet and have tried wearing just your ordinary running/walking/cross-training shoe…but have had to always come back to Brooks. The Brooks Addiction Walking shoe is great. Very comfortable, gives me great support for my feet and knees. I wear them every day! This is my sixth pair of Addiction Walkers. Have had them in white and black. They keep me walking the best I can do with foot and knee problems. Orthotics fit well. Just wish they had them in other colors, like brown or tan. Zappos service is the best!
