Who should buy middle distance runner for the Brooks Beasts 

Much like the original Brooks Walker, the 2nd edition is meant for people who need extra support for overpronation and flat feet. Its improved design makes it a better choice, which lets you pair this with formal work outfits.

This is also ideal for the colder season; it provides comfort during colder days and drizzly weather.

We highly recommend the Addiction Walker 2 for those who spend many hours on their feet, as this one has lasting comfort.

We discovered that the shoe's supportive construction makes it suitable for daily errands, athleisure, and long periods of walking and standing.

Its upper unit is also made of a full-grain leather upper, which we realized provides a supportive embrace for our feet and gradually adapts to our foot shape. That way, it gets more comfortable with time.

Its inner side is lined with mesh fabric which we observed to create a comfy feel for the skin and keep the foot chamber aerated.

Pain-free walking experience with this Brooks shoe

middle distance runner for the Brooks Beasts thick midsole

This walking shoe features a thick midsole layer that provides cushioning. It uses the proprietary BioMoGo DNA material, which we noticed to adapt to our stride, weight, and speed. It also reduces the amount of impact experienced by our joints.

Helps in motion control

Deep horizontal grooves are placed in the forefoot area of the trainer. Several more are added around the perimeter of the unit. We felt that these notches helped make the shoe's bottom more pliable, which allowed us to have a more natural foot transition.

Supports the arch in the right areas

We appreciated the presence of arch support in this walking shoe.

The Addiction Walker 2 embeds an Extended Progressive Diagonal Bar (PDRB) into the midfoot area. We found that this sturdy post supports our arch in the right spot as it minimizes our foot's inward rolling (overpronation).

It also has a lightweight foamy component that adds a tinge of padding when retained. It can also be easily removed when a custom orthotic insert is needed.

Your feet won't wobble while walking

A heel cup at the back firmly holds our rear foot in place. We found that it prevents our heels from slipping out of the shoe and doesn't let them wobble from side to side either. We confirmed that the padded collar and tongue contribute to the rearfoot support, while the lace-up closure tightens the fit.

Certified slip-resistant but not as much as expected

The Addiction Walker 2 receives a new rubber outsole. It also comes with a certified slip-resistant characteristic but has been made more flexible in the forefoot. We learned that the more prominent flex grooves help the shoe bend together with our foot.

Toned down design of the middle distance runner for the Brooks Beasts

This time around, we observed that Brooks has put an emphasis on the shoe's appearance. The shoe still uses a full-grain upper but has a cleaner and more streamlined shape. The foam midsole also has a visibly less aggressive design.

The second iteration has significantly improved the aesthetics department. We experimented with the basic color options of this model with formal work outfits and uniforms, and they easily matched.
