I am recovering from plantar faciitis. During the recovery I have been very happy wearing a pair of Brooks Beast. But I decided to add this Brooks Men's Addiction Walker Walking Shoe as a second pair of shoes so that I could alternate shoes every day. These shoes are very comfortable to sit in, but walking a couple of miles a day in these shoes leaves my feet feeling beat-up. So, as a pair of shoes to wear for casual wear, they are OK. But for any distance walking, they just weren't worth the money.
