I started my love affair with Addiction on version 6 or 7 due to a bunion. I have bought a new pair each year ever since. Last year I thought the shoe seemed different (not as comfy) but they ended up being fine. Version 10 is AWESOME! They feel perfect! I don't know if they change them each year or if it just has to do with manufacturing quality variances (or I am just crazy), but this is just how I remember the first pair of Addictions I put on. There is so much padding/cushioning in the sole and my feet are very stable. The shoes also allow terrific airflow particularly when its windy. This is my favorite version of the Addictions!!!!
I want to mention the light gray printed scroll work on the silver trim of the shoes. I did not notice it when I ordered them. Its very light and only noticeable up close. The turquoise color is not as bad as I thought it might be. The Amazon  picture is very accurate on my monitor. No surprises.
