Brooks Men's Addiction Walker V Strap 2 Walking Shoe

I've found the holy grail of shoes. The Brooks Men's Addiction Walker V-Strap 2, the shoe that’s helped my plantar fasciitis and made my big toe pain wave the white flag. Walking in these is like sending my feet on a luxurious cruise (and yes, they wear formal attire with ease). Now, let's address the elephant in the room – or should I say the elevator in my shoes? These bad boys give me a lift of about half an inch, but let me tell you, it feels like I'm suddenly towering over mere mortals by three inches. But hey, at the ripe young age of 72, a little height never hurt anyone. In fact, it’s like an instant senior citizen rite of passage. 😉 The soles are as stiff as my morning back, which is a good thing because it means I can walk without feeling like my feet are about to revolt. And those Velcro straps? A godsend. They're not as slip-on-and-go as my old Sketchers, but those sketchy Sketchers are partly to blame for my plantar fasciitis in the first place. So I guess we’re even. These shoes are an absolute game-changer. Not the sexiest pair out there, but let’s be honest, neither am I. If you're looking for pain relief that doesn’t compromise on function, works wonders for hiking and walking, and still manages to fit right in at a cruise dining room on formal night, look no further. The Brooks Addiction Walker V-Strap 2 is the shoe for you.

Anmazon's repackaging of the item is the worst example of how Amazon is trying to save money by repackaging of items at the expense of damaging the item during shipping . I can purchase this item directly by the manufacturer with free shipping an inner shoe box and and outside cardboard box and a 90 day trial period with free return shipping. The product itself is of superb quality and design. Amazon's new packaging and head of running all company operations is not working for the good of Amazon's members. If there was a better competitor to Amazon I would certainly consider it.

Make sure you go by the British shoe size chart when you order. I bought the shoes to help me reduce pain in my arthritic ankles. The cushioning is very good and dies reduce the pain levels. The shoes appear to be well-made. The two Velcro-like attachments are well made and will probably outlast the shoes. I'm not a slave to fashion but I wouldn't consider them ugly shoes, just typical in appearance for men.

The shoe is very comfortable. I will probably buy it again. I walk a lot in them. The insides seem to hold up well. The shoes look very cheap though, like shiny plastic.

This is the 4th pair of these shoes I've bought for my husband over the years. He says they are the most comfortable shoes he's ever worn and he is 89 so that's a lot of shoes that don't measure up to these. They look nice enough for church with chinos and tough enough to wear working around the tree farm in rainy Oregon. Comfort alone is worth every penny. His podiatrist noticed them and commented "good shoes".

The shoes are exactly what I want except foe the size. Theres not enough room in the toes.

I like the Brooks brand, especially for their extra wide shoes. Unfortunately, they only offer that for a few of their models. I would not even say my foot is super wide, but the extra wide shoes from Brooks give enough space for your foot to fully expand when planting your foot down. Tight shoes have caused me to injured my feet in the past. For the running/athletic shoes from Brooks, 11 extra wide is the perfect fit for me. The walking shoe is a different beast, I have a pair of white 11s (extra wide) bought for my surgery recovery. My feet slip a tiny bit in them, but they're still comfy. I have a pair of black ones I just got today (Prime try before you buy) in size 10.5. perfection. So, comparatively to other Brooks products, size down a half and you should get the right fit.

My husband usually wears a similar shoe, SAS shoes. He bought these to try and was pleasantly surprised how comfortable they are. Fit well, the Velcro makes putting them on and taking off easier. They are leather so dressier than fabric sneakers.

Se cercate una scarpa che ammortiza vi dia confort al piede anche se avete un certo peso come me (130 kg) la Brooks è ottima. HO comprato questo modello per l'inverno. È puro relax nel camminare.

The package arrived on time. Wore the shoes for a day. They were comfortable and supportive. However, they may get quite warm hot weather.

Soy vigilante de seguridad y la comodidad para mis largas jornadas es excelente

Too bad tgere is no more

Bought these for myself having bought some for my wife some months ago. They do take some time to arive but are well worthwhile waiting for. They really well made and very comfortable.
