BrooksMen's Addiction Walker 2 Track Shoe

Very comfortable.

Having worn my previous pair of Brooks Addiction walkers effectively non-stop since I bought them about 18 months ago, the worn-down soles mean't that they were no longer providing the pain-dissipation effects that I needed them to (in order to counter limp-inducing corns).I was dismayed to see that Brooks had re-worked the Addiction to produce the Addiction 2, and equally unhappy to read many reviews from previous lovers of the shoes who seemed to think that the re-work had been unsuccessful, and that Brooks had effectively produced a shoe that was not the equal of the original.Still, I took the plunge (and have to say that the price of £60 that I paid for a size 11.5 UK is a bargain) and, after a couple of days of being 12 hours on my feet at work, I am more than happy to report that, for me, this new version of the Brooks Addiction walker is as comfortable as the original was. They will, once again, never be off my feet...I bought this pair, as I did my previous pair, half a size larger than I normally take, and they for perfectly.A couple of points :A bonus : the tongue on the new Addictions is slightly longer than it was on the originals which, to my mind, rectifies a slight design flaw.Not so good : whilst I have no complaints with the comfort of the shoes, they have not done us any favours on the style front. Whereas I quite liked the 'oversized' and 'zaggy' look of the original sole, the toned-down look of the Addiction 2 does not look so funky. In fact, if you know what a "Derriboot"™ is, then you may see slight similarities...need I say more..? Wearing in may take away some of their moulded plastic look...I live in hope...A maybe : as others have mentioned in reviews of the new shoes, I wouldn't have the greatest faith in the 'non-slipness' of the non-slip soles. I haven't had reason to test them overly so far, but I'm not convinced I don't think.

These are my 14th pair of addiction walkers, the only shoes I have worn for nearly 7 years

Product is good but delivery was disaster. Several times you delivered wrong product. I ordered size 10.5 UK regular/normal width but you delivered size 10.5 UK Narrow/B.
