The Brooks Addiction Walker V-Strap employs a host of features to ensure that it has the support, slip-resistance, and easy-to-wear construction that walking enthusiasts need. You might benefit from it if:

• A shoe that has the ability to sustain comfort for prolonged hours of walking, running, or even lounging is what you need.

Multisurface traction

The Brooks Addiction Walker V-Strap is lined with rubber at the bottom. It is a certified slip-resistant material that provides traction on different types of surfaces.

Its forefoot construction is patterned after the brand’s proprietary MC Pod configuration. It places the foot in an efficient, balanced, and stabilized position from heel strike to toe-off. It gives flexibility and motion control.

Support system technology

The Brooks Addiction Walker V-Strap is engineered to as a motion-control walking shoe due to the combination of technologies that support and control low arches and overpronation. One of these technologies is the Extended Progressive Diagonal Rollbar (PDRB) which serves as a support system for the arch for progressive pronation control. It allows for smoother transitions between the midstance phase and propulsion. 

The BioMoGo DNA midsole molds to the foot shape for personalized cushioning. It adapts to the wearer’s speed, weight, and stride for customized impact protection. It is also made to deliver energy transfer that propels the foot forward upon foot strike. 

The midsole is made from durable and environmentally friendly materials that are meant to dissolve once it reaches an active and enclosed landfill.
