- 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.
- Is it waterproof?
- 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.
