There is a reason why Brooks is a favorite among avid runners. They make quality shoes with biomechanics in mind. Other brands, like Nike, just crank out 50 types of shoes a year.
The Addiction is meant for people with flat foot, overpronators, or both. I am both. The firm inner sole prevents pronation to the extreme and is very solid. The heel cup (where you slide your foot into the shoe) is very stiff. This is a good thing. No matter how awesome the sole of the shoe is, it won't do a darned thing if your heel is sliding all around. To properly wear this shoe, make sure it's snug so the heel cup can hold your heel solidly. By holding your calcaneus firmly and preventing it from sliding out, your talus stays in neutral, preventing pronation further.
Obviously you'll still get pronation because you need it to walk or run. However, this shoe is by far the best at limiting it to a normal amount. Brooks never disappoints.
***Note: for the other reviewer who said the arch support isn't much. This is true b/c it's meant for over pronator, who are mostly flat footed. So the arch support is minimal. However, if you have a mid to high arch and you overpronate, you can easily insert an insole with arch cushioning or stiff support, depending on what you need. I like the Spenco Rx full length arch cushions. It's soft enough for comfort with the stiffness to hold an arch up. But it's important to remember that these shoes are meant for flat feet. The Adrenaline GTS series by Brooks is meant for mid to high arches. Although not many shoes will have a substantial arch in the sole because most people don't have high arches. And shoe manufacturers make their shoes to fit 95% of their demographic.

These shoes are great! I have wide, flat feet with low arches and I was experiencing foot pain when walking or running. These shoes fit me perfectly and give my feet great support. The Addiction 8 has great cushioning and it comes in wide sizes. It was the perfect choice for me. Now, I have no problems with foot pains.
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

I bought these shoes on reccommendation of my Podiatrist - no wonder he makes the big bucks because he was right! I was having problems with plantar facisitis (or whatever) and also pain on the back/side of my knee. After I got these the pain was gone after wearing them for a day or two. They are so comfortable and offer great support even after walking all day. I will buy another pair for sure - they are GREAT!

Not as confortable as NB, maybe because my feet have not addapted yet, but they're ok. Support and cushion are good.

better support than New Balance
I wore New Balance before, because I heard they were great support... These are MUCH better than New Balance. I will probably wear these type of shoes the rest of my life.
