After a surgery to fuse my ankle due to osteo-arthritis, I require stablizing shoes.
This is a great shoe for anyone with flat and pronating feet and/or those who require an orthotic insert.
This shoe is supportive and comfortable, esp. around the ankle where you tie your shoe.  Fit is supreme for both toes and heel.

My hip no longer hurts after walking.  I feel steady and aligned correctly.

I have tried many athletic shoes that start out feeling good at the store, then, after several weeks, problems arise.

Brooks Addiction walking shoe lasts longer and doesn't cause me pain like other brands.

For sizing: if you have had to go a 1/2 size larger in other brands, you can safely go back to your original size in these Brooks.

My only objection to these shoes is the color white is not a true white like other atletic shoes.  It is an off-white, light tan/cream or a lighter version of the color bone, which is one of the color selections.  I thought I made a mistake and clicked bone when ordering.  But after I received my second pair (one for outdoors and one for indoors) it too is not bright white, but closer to the bone color.

I wish it were a true white.  But, will live with it due to my limited options in footwear.
