Is the Brooks Addiction Walker 2 good for overpronation?

Yes. It is one of Brooks' stability walking shoes, with a firm midsole and a broad base that limit inward roll. Walkers who need motion control tend to rate it highly for this.

How does it fit compared with other Brooks shoes?

It runs true to length for most buyers, and the narrow, normal and wide widths let you match your foot shape. People between sizes often size up for toe room.

Does it need breaking in?

The leather upper and firm midsole are stiff at first. Most owners say a week or two of short walks softens it, so don't judge comfort from the first day.

No. The leather resists light splashes, but there is no waterproof membrane, so it is not the shoe for rain or wet trails.

How does it compare with the New Balance 928?

Both are stability walkers with wide width options. The Addiction Walker 2 has a firmer, more controlled ride and a leather upper; the 928 is generally softer and lighter.

What is the drop and weight?

It has a 12 mm heel-to-toe drop and weighs about 14.5 oz in a men's size 9. That is heavier than most walking shoes, which is the trade-off for its support.
