Brooks Women's Addiction 9 Road Running Shoe Review

Customer Ratings:

I'm not a runner, but I was fit with this shoe in a store that specializes in orthotics and was very glad they pulled out a wide version because I didn't know I needed it. My feet tend to roll in, and the foot bed on this shoe pulls out so I can insert a firmer orthotic with a higher arch. Even without it, I had been wearing Brooks shoes with the linear footbed in similar styles that did help my pronation problem to a degree. This shoe out of all the Brooks I've worn in the past seems to have the widest and most stable base of all that I've tried. I liked them so much I bought 2 pairs and am thinking of getting a third. They also breathe really well.

This is the 3rd version of the Addiction I have owned and I am not happy with the 9. The toe box is smaller/snug. I noticed it the moment I put it on. I ran to the computer and there was was "And now with the new softer, more smooth and supple upper." Brooks changed my shoe!!!! Its not the same shoe in the way that is important to me. I have a bunion on my left foot and the Addiction was my addiction for keeping it pain free. In the 7 & 8 versions, I was able to move my toes up and down without touching any part of the toe box, yet still have the shoe firmly tied through the arch and heel. I have had these for over a week and I have been lacing the shoe multiple ways trying to get get it right and I can't. The sole and foot bed feel the same it just seems tighter around my bunion and toes :-( I am soooo disappointed. The appearance of the shoe is cuter, but that was never the reason I chose this shoe in the first place.

Honest reviews on Brooks Women's Addiction 9 Road Running Shoe

I've walk miles with my dog every day, and I'd developed foot problems. At my podiatrist's recommendation, I tried Brooks Addiction shoes and Lynco inserts. The problems went away. That says it all!

Good price on this shoe, but it's an older style, so the parts of the white trim have turn yellow. If you want a "pretty" new shoe, don't buy it! As far as the shoe is concerned, this is my second pair of Brooks Addiction. If your ankles pronate (roll in) it's a great shoe to keep your ankles straight. I ended up buying the wide, which helps with the narrower toe box in Addiction 9.
