I guess it depends on what you mean by "polished". It will certainly take polish to touch up scuffs or generally improve appearance as they suffer the indignities of daily footwear, but it's soft leather, so it's never going to get a high gloss. (FWIW, i've had several of these and and its predecessor for years now, and have polished them several times to clean them up.)
I have flat feet and found that medical inserts are essential for me. This shoe is one of the only work-shoes that allow me to use them comfortably. They definately support my feet, my balance, and my over pronation. To the point that I must replace them at a minimum of every six months or I begin feeling pain in my feet, ankles, knees, and back. The inserts last for years, so I know that the shoe works because when I make the change, I feel better almost the same day.
Hi Visita! The Addiction Walker 2 has plenty of volume within the shoe and includes a removable sockliner if you need to insert your own lift or add a lift.
Hello. I have bought about 5 or 6 pairs over the Addiction Walkers over the years. When I first bought the original Addiction I bought my normal size 11 for shoes. I had to send it back and get an 11 1/2 to fit right. All the rest I bought as 11 1/2. This new update is the same for me. I bought an 11 1/2 and it fits right. So I guess take your chances. It will either fit or it won't, but once you find your size it will fit good.
I use these wonderful shoes for walking about in the neighborhood in the mornings. Coronovis has us confined to our places now. But soon I hope that i will be able to walk again in these wonderful shoes.
I have to were a special interest from my doctor. Do I remove your inside cushion or leave in in there?
I find that the insert that comes with the Walter is excellent and I have not needed to replace them with custom inserts. The quality of the shoes and inserts are excellent and I do a lot of walking on a daily basis.
Yes. I do ir right away when I get a new pair. My podiatrist recommended Brooks for that reason.
I was not aware of any color but black. I love the shoe! Wish they were available in another color. The other respondent advised he purchased an off white color. I would have purchased that color if it had been available.
Hi Edward! The Addiction Walker 2 is certified slip-resistant (SATRA TM144:2011).
These shoes are really made for walking, general use. All depends on what kind of hiking. Light hiking is ok, They are nicely cushioned. They are not water resistant or waterproof.
