Brooks Addiction Walker 2

Excellent walking shoes. I have severely pronated ankles. The left arch has completely collapsed causing me to wear a brace to stabilize the ankle and hopefully prevent a future major reconstructive surgery. My podiatrist recommended the addiction walker to me be of its construction and the quality materials used to build the shoe. The shoes have the ability to deal with the brace which stresses the shoe. The shoes last 6-8 months and I walk relatively pain free. This is an excellent product that I would recommend to anyone.

Brooks discontinued the Addiction Walker and replaced it with the Addiction Walker II. I still love my Walkers after 3 years using them on trails, concrete, everywhere, so I bought another pair, or so I thought. The Walker II has a fine groove pattern in the tread which traps any piece of sand, grit or debris that can wedge in there. I bought these online and Fleet Feet did not show the tread in the offering. I expected that there would be technical improvements in this second iteration, but this tread design is not an improvement but a hinderance since I cannot conscientiously wear them in my house or any others due to the debris trapped in the tread. I like the feel, comfort and appearance, but will look for another brand which is comfortable and employs more common sense design.

I really enjoy the shoes for my job, but they are a little too shiny, but other than that they are perfect and my feet feel great at the end of the day.

We have to special order my husband's shoes every single time. I would call them, order them, then a week later pick them up. They told me how to order online from the website and it is extremely convenient! That is how I get those shoes now. A++ love it!

The Brooks walking shoes that I bought aren't the cheap Brand "N" stuff I've been buying for years; they are quality shoes that provide proper support . Unlike like the big box store's staff who barely knows where the shoe department is, Fleet Feet's customer service rep knew their product line, helped me determine the best shoe for my intended use and the proper fit for my feet, and provided that high level of service with an enthusiastic smile. You won't go wrong buying your running or walking shoes from Fleet Feet.
