Amazon.com Product Description
When it comes to pronation control, the Addiction 7 is hard to resist. Previously considered the pinnacle of smooth, it now delivers an even smoother ride for runners with low or flat arches while maintaining the control, stability and cushioning known and loved by severe overpronators. Our Progressive Diagonal Rollbar (PDRB®) controls the rate and degree of pronation by guiding the foot into a more efficient stride, while resilient HydroFlow® units in the forefoot and rearfoot absorb shock and cushion the foot. No wonder this shoe is habit-forming.

Customer Reviews

Brooks Addictions
I have worn Brooks Addictions since my days as a runner. I wear them now for all my walking workouts. They are great for my pronation and for cushioning and control. I am always looking for the newest edition of Addictions and of course appreciate a discount from the market price of these shoes. When I saw that Amazon was selling them, I didn't hesitate to purchase a pair. They arrived in perfect condition, and in a short time frame. I will certainly purchase more of these from Amazon in the future.

The best running shoes for medium-over pronators
For years, I had been buying running shoes just by its looks and the price, once I ended up with a nike (nothing against nike, they make great shoes) and started having knee pains even after a few minutes on the treadmill.

I bought the Brooks addiction and I feel so much comfortable running with this pair of shoes, it has been 3 years the shoes show very little signs of wear and tear, but performing as good as it was 3 years back.

If you are shopping for a good pair of running shoes, do some research online, talk to your local runners club learn about the kind of shoe you want to buy - how much of pronation does your feet do, how much do you weigh, what is your shoe size on the leght and the width. Another option is to check out your local shoe store and talk with them, do not try go to sports authority or any other chains, they just have salesmen, try going to small running shoe stores that are passionate about running and only sell running stuff.

best shoes I've ever owned
I have moderate pronation in both feet. A running pro at a specialty store help fit me for the best shoes. I tried on no less than 15 pairs, and these were by far the best. I love love love them. Supportive of my pronating feet and lots of spring, nice and light, can't recommend them highly enough.
