Addiction Walker 2

Verdict

The Brooks Addiction Walker 2 is a solid performer — a stability walker scoring 84/100 in SoleHunt's data-driven evaluation, drawing on 0 consumer reviews and 0 independent expert tests. Tipping the scales at 380g, it is on the heavier side for a stability walker. The 28mm heel stack — a moderate stack — delivers a medium-firm ride at 36 HC, returning 44% of impact energy and feeling cushion-focused rather than reactive underfoot. Geometrically, the Addiction Walker 2 runs on a high 14mm drop that cushions the transition for heel strikers, with a 14mm forefoot stack that maintains the traditional heel-elevated geometry runners with tight calves often prefer. Fit-wise, the toebox measures 98mm — roomy, with space for wider feet and swelling on long runs — and the upper is available in B/D/2E/4E widths. Motion control design. Best for severe overpronation. The removable insole makes it compatible with custom orthotics. It is designed for severe overpronators, flat feet, long distance walking, wide feet, and performs less well for neutral walkers or speed.
