Brooks Men's Addiction Walker 2Sneaker

A massive improvement on the mk 1. A better build quality. The seams at the toe are holding up . Not as chunky as the old one

This is my first pair of Brooks trainers. I am normally used to wearing Nike Vomeros, Nike Pegusus, or Asics gel footwear which are all running shoes (the Brooks addiction is a walking shoe). This shoe for the £54 price that I paid is acceptable. Admittedly I was expecting a bit of a wow when first trying them on as I have heard great things about Brooks trainers over the years. Unfortunately I didn't get it. The shoe is ok, length inside at toe comes up short compared to my Nikes and Asics although they are all size UK 7 (41). The sole is pretty good but again I would still favour my other trainers over these as they feel better on the concrete. The grip feels good even on wet surfaces. The top of the shoe feels comfortable, secure and laces well, but one of the huge let downs for me is the breathability. My feet feel so hot and sweaty in the Brooks and there are no air holes that I can see. The material around top half is soft and feels more like my pvc sofa than any leather trainers that I have previously owned. I purchased these as I needed some black shoes to wear at work which might give some protection to rain on my 2 mile commute. Unfortunately 10 hours of wearing these is not very nice for me and I do need to get some air to my feet at break times, and when I finally get home from work I need to get these off my feet as quickly as I possibly can. It is such a relief when they are taken off. Please note that the trainer is not as chunky or shiny as it appears in the adverts which I am happy about as I needed it to blend with black work trousers which it does. I really wanted to like Brooks trainers and it doesn't feel nice to leave this review but my final thoughts are that even though my normal trainers are running shoes and these Brooks are walking shoes (which is not a fair comparison) I probably won't try the brand again after my experience with this shoe.

They are not worth the £120 price. They look like cheap shoes,I was very dissapointed.

I am a Postman and have worn 5 pairs of Addiction Walker. These shoes allowed me to do my job and gave me bounce back from concrete. However on wearing the Addiction Walker 2 I have wasted my money and won't buy these again. These give you no bounce back from concrete and the new lining makes your feet sweat more. I am exhausted at the end of the day. I will now have to look at other shoes or hand in my notice. Bring back Addiction Walker.

Not as comfortable as I would like,but to be fair it is early days yet.

After a long time (many months to over a year) of wearing a pair of these, I'll confirm they are comfy too walk in and the tread lasts really well (mostly pavement and gravel). The gaps between the tread are thin, so crossing soft mud or similar is likely to fill then easily and leave a smooth no track finish, but not really meant for that.

This walking shoe is a wonderful replacement for the Brooks shoe that I just wore the heel off of. I ordered the additional width shoe first, but that is not necessary because this shoe box is plenty wide enough to accommodate my slightly wider than average foot. I would like to have a different color than white, but the only other option is black and that is not an option for me.

I do a lot of walking and bought a pair of Brooks Addiction 2 Walkers two years ago. After just under 2000 miles on them I decided to get another pair. The originals are a little rough looking but I still wear them to work in around the house. These shoes are extremely comfortable and hold up well. I had always had trouble with wearing out the heals on light hiker shoes and also the EVA in the footed would break down and become uncomfortable. I have not had either issue with the Brooks Walkers. I am sold completely on these shoes and will continue to purchase them.

It was heavier than previous Brooks shoes that I've purchased

I use this product for extensive walking.
