Back to Results Brooks Addiction 7 Manufacturer: Brooks Price: $90 Reviewed in: Jun 2006 Shoe Guide Runner's World Awards: Best Buy Shoe Type: Motion Control See Specifications Runner's World Awards: Best Buy We say: With this update, Brooks has extended the midsole support on the inside of the shoe into the forefoot to better control late-stage pronation. The stability of the upper is also improved, thanks to additional overlays. Despite the extra support, the RW Shoe Lab tests found the Addiction to still be quite flexible. The shoe also features a flex groove in the heel to help isolate and disperse impact forces. Recommended for moderate-weight runners with low arches or runners who need a firm base of support for their orthotics. Wear-testers say: "Good support and cushioning in the heel and midfoot." --Keith Warriner, 40, East Lansing "This update is every bit as good as past versions." --Rique Campa, 49, East Lansing Be the First to Review this Shoe Gender: Female Shoe Type: Motion Control Sizes: 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8, 8.5, 9, 9.5, 10, 10.5, 11, 11.5, 12 Midsole Characteristics: Extended support Weight: 11 oz.
