Walking On a Cloud! I’m in heaven! The Brooks Addiction Walker is like walking on a cloud! I am just amazed!! This is my first pair but it won’t be my last. I am quite overweight (working on that) plus I have custom orthodics due to planter’s fasciitis and flat-footedness. Combine that with me not owning a car and you can just imagine the suffering I would endure having to walk or take public transportation everywhere. I tried all kinds of shoes and then I came here to Zappos and searched for my symptoms and up popped Brooks! I’d never even heard of that brand! I started out with Ariel’s which is outstanding as well but pricey for someone who only wears athletic shoes. So after wearing them for years I decided to try one of the less expensive ones in the Brooks line and after reading review on the Addiction Walker, I ordered. Well, just like the Ariel’s, I put them on right out of the box and they were perfect!!! Even more comfortable then the Ariel’s and so soft! Truly like walking on a cloud! No break-in required at all, which I think is amazing! Don’t know how they do it, but these shoes are just perfect. I ordered a half-size larger then I usually would and the same width that I always wear and they fit just right…no pinching or anything even with orthodics. I also love that they come in Black and they look great. It’s a great shoe for problem feet. If you want to walk and stand in comfort all day, try the Guess Brittania Shoes line. I won’t even consider anything else! Oh and Zappos is a great site…I love shopping here and I love the name which is out of the ordinary just like there service!!!
Best in comfort - I’m glad to write and tell you how happy I am with the feel and durability of this Brooks sneaker. These sneakers are the most comfortable sneakers I’ve ever had - in my life! They hug your foot for excellent support and have a slight wedge that adds to total leg support Guess Brittania Pump. I urge anyone to try these! The look of them could use some work but the comfort level they supply certainly out weighs the bulky look of the sneaker.
This is a good shoe, though it doesn’t have the depth I was hoping for my orthodic. Also seems to have a higher arch than most walking shoes. I have a lot of foot problems and have a hard time finding a shoe to help all of them. For most people needed a lot of support I would recommend this if you do not need the depth.
I own Brooks addiction 6, which is very comfortable, but not appropriate for work. These Addiction Walkers, while fitting well otherwise, were too tight around my ankles. Comfort is more important than looks, and these are okay. I unlaced the top hole and they were still tight. I’ve returned them. I am very pleased with Zappos’ service, ordered another shoe, and am very happy.
I had major surgery for a torn ligament and had to have a screw and plates put in my foot and ankle. This shoe was the support, comfort and quality I needed in a shoe. I have owned two pair of these and have tried others but Brooks is by far the best in my opinion.
I love my Guess Brittania Pumps - I overpronate when I walk (my ankles turn inward) and have knock knees and a bad back (but such a nice personality!) so I need a good sturdy shoe that will correct my structural defects and let me walk all over the place and still feel good. The Brooks Addiction Walker keeps my ankles where they’re supposed to be so I feel good at the end of the day, even after walking a lot in my job and hitting the gym afterwards. I remove the liner and there is ample room for my custom full-sized orthotics. I have always ordered the shoe 1/2 size bigger than I am but the last 2 pairs I’ve ordered have a slightly narrower toe box –which looks nice but a little part of my big toes rub against the leather now. I tie the shoes to keep my feet back in the heel (”butterfly lacing”) and that helps but next time I will try ordering a whole size bigger. The Addiction Walkers come in plain white and plain black which makes them easy to wear to work. If they had crazy running shoe colors I would probably not be able to wear them to work. They’re a little heavy I must say but they do a great job! Excellent cushioning when I’m walking on concrete too.
After bunion surgery (twice), I had considerable residual swelling and scar tissue. These shoes in an extra wide size allowed me to return to work in a business casual environment without wearing a post surgical boot or athletic shoes. Wearing these shoes, I could actually walk, not shuffle or limp. Not glamorous but nice enough looking. The main thing for me is that it feels great when I do my hour long walk every morning. I got it in Black and it looks pretty much like the picture.
I bought my Brooks sneaker on the recommendation of my sister in law. She sold shoes for quite a while and when she tried on the Brooks sneaker she was very impressed. I decided to try them because I was having trouble with a bone spur and hoped they would help. Although I can’t say they helped with the bone spur, they are the most comfortable sneaker I have ever owned and I would certainly recommend them to anyone who asked me about them. I did however have to buy a size larger than I normally do.
Incredible comfort - I have rheumatoid arthritis, and lots of problems with my feet and ankles. I also have a very high arch and need a lot of arch support. I’ve tried all kinds of expensive shoes, but these are the most comfortable. I wear orthotics and they fit great in these shoes. I used to wear Brooks running shoes and I liked them a lot too, but now I need the added stability of a walking shoe. The Addiction walkers were great from the moment I put them on. The only thing is, I wish they had a little color on them–a stripe of color or something. They’re a little plain. I also wish they came in colors other than white and black, since I need to wear them most of the time now. I’m wearing the white…I wanted the black but I’m not crazy about the way they look. But I will probably get the black eventually, anyway. They’re amazingly comfortable.
I have major foot problems. A botched surgery a year ago for a Neuroma has left me in constant pain. On top of that I have narrow heels and a pronating foot so I need a wide toe box. I never thought I’d find a comfortable shoe - but the Addiction Walker is it! It’s very comfortable. Plenty of room in the toe box, but fit’s well in the heel also. I’m going on a cruise and needed a shoe that I could spend all day walking in and this is it! Once again Zappos has come through for me. I ordered it 1/2 size bigger than my sandals & it fits perfectly. I have a dancer’s foot with a very high arch and this shoe provides the stability and cushioning that I need. After a whole day on my feet, I can still keep going. At first I thought they looked kind of strange, but I’ve learned to love them.
THE NAME FITS- As a first time buyer as well as first time “Brooks” brand buyer, I am now addicted to both. The shoes are the MOST comfortable ever and the service and selection for hard to fit is beyond belief. Did I die and go to shoe heaven?
Let me start by saying this certainly isn’t the prettiest shoe on the Market. After wearing them for one day I wasn’t so sure I liked them at all. But for the money, I figured I’d give them a few more days. Now that they are broken in, they are an O.K. shoe, but I certainly would not rave about them in the least. I guess you learn a lesson the hard way… in the wallet.
It is very difficult for me to find comfortable shoes since I have severely pronating feet, low arches, a narrow heel, and had nerve damage to my right foot from having a neuroma removed. I love the Brooks Addiction Walker! I can actually walk pain free. I have tried many other “comfort” walking shoes, and this is the first shoe that works for me. I think a big plus is the roomy toe box. Thanks again Zappos for some great shoes! I ordered them 1/2 size larger my normal shoes (just like I do for running shoes) and they fit perfectly!
Very comfortable - These shoes have been comfortable since the first time I put them on. They are great support. I need an extra wide shoe and these are true to size and width. I highly recommend Brooks Addiction Walkers. I will buy these shoes again.
