Our take on the Women's Brooks Addiction Walker 2

The Brooks Addiction Walker 2 is a women's leather walking shoe built for maximum stability and support. It uses Brooks' Extended Progressive Diagonal Rollbar to control overpronation, plus a removable insole that fits custom orthotics. The leather upper is water-repellent and the rubber outsole is slip-resistant, so it works for everyday wear and long walks. It is a motion-control shoe aimed at flat feet, plantar issues and diabetic foot needs rather than a light, fast trainer.

Questions and answers

Is the Addiction Walker 2 good for flat feet?
Yes. It is one of Brooks' most supportive walking shoes, with the Extended Progressive Diagonal Rollbar to limit overpronation. It suits flat feet and low arches better than neutral walkers.
Can I use my own orthotics in it?
Yes. The insole is removable, so custom orthotics drop in. Order your usual size or a half size up if your orthotic is thick.
How does it compare with the Addiction Walker 1?
The 2 keeps the same motion-control platform and leather upper but updates the fit and cushioning. Owners of the original generally find it a modest, not dramatic, step up.
Is it a good diabetic shoe?
It is marketed as a diabetic and orthopedic shoe, with a roomy fit and removable insole. Check with your podiatrist, since diabetic footwear needs vary by person.
Is it waterproof?
No. The leather upper is water-repellent, which handles light rain and damp grass, but it is not waterproof for puddles or heavy rain.
When is it cheapest?
Brooks walking shoes usually drop during seasonal sales and when a new version launches. Watch the price history for dips below the typical range.
