Brooks Addiction 8 - Men's Walking & Running Shoe (New 2009)

Whether you're training for a 5K or simply trying to get up off the couch and run around the block a couple times a week, buying the right running shoe for your foot type can make all the difference. The Brooks Men's Motion Control Running Shoe, Addiction 8 is specially designed to give runners with low arches, flat feet, and pronation problems the support and biomechanical correction they need to prevent injuries and reduce fatigue. While technically classified as a running shoe, the Brooks Addiction 6 also provides exceptional comfort and support for fitness walkers. The undercut heel and rocker bottom can easily accommodate the recommended rolling heel to toe motion and the progressive, flexible support of the vamp keeps your feet properly aligned but won't interfere with the completion of your stride. Particularly if you're a heavier walker, the extra shock absorption and cushioning provided by a running shoe footbed may actually decrease the strain on your feet and joints better than a typical walking shoe's footbed would.

Special Features of the Brooks Men's Motion Control Walking & Running Shoe, Addiction 8:

• Air mesh vamp provides the breathability necessary to keep feet feeling fresh
• Features the Brooks patented HydroFlow®, a sealed viscous fluid chamber that cushions and absorbs shock at the heel and forefoot strike zone
