Who should buy
Having thoroughly tested the Кроссовки brooks asteria running оригинал, we can recommend it to people who:
- need extra support for flat feet, overpronation, plantar fasciitis, diabetes, and other conditions (the shoe is podiatrist-approved and carries the A5500 code)
- spend the entire day on their feet (be it casual wear or at work)
- Women's Brooks Glycerin GTS 20 Running Shoes
- look for high-quality work footwear with basic color options to match their work outfits and uniforms
Who should NOT buy
If you love the idea of an exceptionally comfortable and supportive shoe but can't stand the stern vibes of the zapatillas de running Brooks constitución fuerte talla 43.5 negras más de 100, check out the following alternatives from Brooks:
- zapatillas de running Brooks hombre entrenamiento minimalistas
- Buy Women's Brooks Ghost 14
- zapatillas de running Brooks supinador constitución media
All of these shoes are lighter, more breathable, more forgiving, and can be used for both walking and running.
brooks pure connect womens, the Is Suing Brooks Over Use of the Word Nitro and Alleged Copycat Shoes may be a better choice. It has a stronger grip on wet tiles and more joyous vibes despite the monochromatic colorways.
Cushioning
Dit is de nieuwe Brooks Aurora-BL | Heel stack
brooks puregrit 8 gallery.
Measuring its stack height with a caliper, we got 35.7 mm in the heel. The shoe did feel quite platformy underfoot.
But it also remained incredibly comfortable and supportive for hours on end. We wore the zapatillas de running Brooks constitución fuerte talla 43.5 negras más de 100 for a few days in our shoe-testing lab where we barely sat down to rest. It was amazing to find that our feet and legs didn't feel beaten up at all!
zapatillas de running Brooks constitución fuerte talla 43.5 negras más de 100 | 35.7 mm |
Average | 32.3 mm |
Forefoot stack
Dit is de nieuwe Brooks Aurora-BL.
This is largely due to its thicker-than-average forefoot stack of 23.5 mm.
zapatillas de running Brooks constitución fuerte talla 43.5 negras más de 100 | 23.5 mm |
Average | 21.8 mm |
Drop
Looking at the heel-to-toe drop of the Addition Walker 2, we found that it is a bit steeper than average at 12.2 mm.
It is a pretty common setup for supportive shoes that are meant to ease the strain of certain foot conditions.
The elevated heel takes the load off the Achilles and enhances impact protection in the rearfoot.
zapatillas de running Brooks constitución fuerte talla 43.5 negras más de 100 | 12.2 mm |
Average | 10.5 mm |
Midsole softness
It is critical to note that the zapatillas de running Brooks constitución fuerte talla 43.5 negras más de 100 is NOT a plush walking shoe.
Pressing our durometer against its sliced midsole returned a reading of 25.9 HA which is the average of walking shoes in our lab.
It indicates a moderately soft foam that doesn't have a whole lot of squeeze and is certainly not a mushy one.
Brooks uses a proprietary BioMoGo DNA foam which is a pretty comfortable EVA-based compound. It doesn't have much bounce to it, but we enjoyed the consistent ride it delivered for hours on end.
It is a great option for painful foot conditions like plantar fasciitis where a plush and wobbly midsole can do more harm than good. A thicker and firmer sole is also beneficial for heavyweight wearers.
As a nice bonus, "Bio" implies that the foam is biodegradable and, according to Brooks, it breaks down 20 times faster than your typical foam.

Average | 26.4 HA |
Midsole softness in cold (%)
Another positive characteristic of the BioMoGo DNA is that it doesn't get much firmer in low temperatures.
After keeping the shoe in the freezer for 20 minutes and retaking the durometer measurement, we found that the shoe's foam got moderately firmer - by 20.7%.
zapatillas de running Brooks constitución fuerte talla 43.5 negras más de 100 | 21% |
Average | 31% |
Insole thickness
The shoe's midsole is topped off with a nicely padded insole that is a good 5.5 mm thick.

Size and fit
Size
Кроссовки brooks asteria running оригинал is true to size (949 votes).
Toebox width - widest part
The zapatillas de running Brooks constitución fuerte talla 43.5 negras más de 100 also proved to be on point with its toebox fit and felt tailor-made on our medium-sized feet.
But to be more precise with the assessment, we also poured the mold of this Brooks shoe using a custom gel.
Having located the widest points of the shoe's forefoot, we measured the distance between them with a caliper. We found that at 92.8 mm, this Brooks shoe is on par with the average.
However, if you have wide feet, bunions, or other foot conditions that call for more toebox space, please consider the wide and extra-wide options of the zapatillas de running Brooks constitución fuerte talla 43.5 negras más de 100. Luckily, Brooks is very generous with alternative widths.

Average | 94.3 mm |
Shoe Gallery Teams With Brooks For Miami Dolphins-Inspired Collab
Marked as an A5500 (diabetic-approved) shoe, we were surprised that the zapatillas de running Brooks constitución fuerte talla 43.5 negras más de 100 didn't have a more rounded toebox shape. Even though there is no aggressive tapering, we feel like 68.3 mm of toebox width near the big toe is on the edge of feeling tight for some people.
If you do have diabetes, neuropathy, or other foot concerns, please opt for the wider variation of the shoe.
zapatillas de running Brooks constitución fuerte talla 43.5 negras más de 100 | 68.3 mm |
Average | 71.2 mm |
Toebox height
On the bright side, we have no complaints regarding the shoe's toebox height. At 28.2 mm, it is a smidge taller than average.

zapatillas de running Brooks constitución fuerte talla 43.5 negras más de 100 | 28.2 mm |
Average | 26.3 mm |
Stability
Lateral stability test
If you are someone with flat feet, overpronation, or other foot conditions that call for extra-supportive footwear, the zapatillas de running Brooks constitución fuerte talla 43.5 negras más de 100 must be on your radar.
The shoe features an Extended Progressive Diagonal Bar (PDRB) in the midfoot portions of the sole. Even though it looks a bit dated compared to the subtle stability technologies of today, it is still one of the most reliable types of arch support.
We found that this sturdy post supports our arch in the right spot minimizing our foot's inward rolling.
What's more, the Addiction Walker has earned a solid reputation among podiatrists over the years. It even received a Seal of Acceptance from the American Podiatry Medical Association (APMA) as one that promotes good foot health.
Torsional rigidity
The Кроссовки brooks asteria running оригинал offers an unmatched level of stability with its sturdy midsole posting and supportive upper.
zapatillas de running Brooks hombre trail constitución ligera talla 45.
Rating the shoe's torsional rigidity on a 1-5 scale, we gave it the highest possible score of 5.
It makes the shoe very safe and reliable not only for people with foot conditions but also for senior citizens for whom a solid footing is a must.

Average | 2.9 |
Heel counter stiffness
Another source of support comes from the shoe's moderately rigid heel counter. It received an average score of 3 out of 5 in our manual stiffness test.
Even though it's not the sturdiest we've seen in our lab, the heel counter has enough structure to keep our heels and ankles securely in place. There was no slipping out or sliding around inside the heel cup.

Average | 2.3 |
Midsole width - forefoot
Last but not least, the zapatillas de running Brooks constitución fuerte talla 43.5 negras más de 100 draws its stability from a slightly wider-than-average base.
Timberland hombre talla 41.5.
zapatillas de running Brooks constitución fuerte talla 43.5 negras más de 100 | 113.7 mm |
Average | 111.7 mm |
Midsole width - heel
As for the heel of the shoe, we measured 95.8 mm in its widest part. That is more than 5 mm wider than average.
Having a wider base to land on helped us feel more confident in our steps for sure.
zapatillas de running Brooks constitución fuerte talla 43.5 negras más de 100 | 95.8 mm |
Average | 90.1 mm |
Flexibility / Stiffness
Its unforgiving construction was one of the first things we noticed about the Кроссовки brooks asteria running оригинал. So do expect a stiffer experience compared to your typical walking shoe, especially at the toe-off!
Measuring how much force it takes to bend this Brooks shoe to a 30-degree angle, our shoe flexing tester showed a high reading of 17.9N. That's notably more than it takes on average albeit not the stiffest we've seen.
Also, keep in mind that the zapatillas de running Brooks constitución fuerte talla 43.5 negras más de 100 doesn't get more pliable with time and stays on the stiff side anyway.

Stiffness in cold (%)

Weight
Being a well-cushioned and highly supportive shoe with a leather upper, it is no surprise that the zapatillas de running Brooks constitución fuerte talla 43.5 negras más de 100 comes with an extra heft.
Weighing it in a men's US size 9, we got 13.7 oz (388g) on the scale. That's about 4 oz (113g) heavier than the average walking shoe.

Breathability
Brooks England C17 Special Recycled Nylon Sattel.
As our in-house breathability test shows, there is pretty much no airflow happening inside the zapatillas de running Brooks constitución fuerte talla 43.5 negras más de 100. Even though the tiny streak of vapor found its way through the eyelets, this pathway won't be very much available with the foot inside the shoe.
Even when we tried searching for ventilation holes in our transparency test, we didn't find a single aperture in the shoe's upper.
It would be wise to save this option for cooler days (50°F/20°C and below) if you want to avoid toasty and sweaty feet.

Durability
Leather/Suede quality
Testing the toebox part of the shoe with a butane torch and a scratch awl, we found that it is indeed made of real full-grain leather.
At first glance, it looks like the zapatillas de running Brooks constitución fuerte talla 43.5 negras más de 100 uses the same kind of leather throughout the upper. But alas, Brooks cuts corners on the material quality in the midfoot.
As you can see, the upper caught fire and melted instantly revealing the material's synthetic nature.

Toebox durability
But there are two sides to the coin. What causes the shoe's lack of aeration also makes it incredibly wear-resistant.
As our 12-second Dremel test shows, the full-grain leather of the zapatillas de running Brooks constitución fuerte talla 43.5 negras más de 100 doesn't give up so easily. It didn't let our tool leave more than a scuff on the topmost layer of its toebox material.
Compared to a typical mesh upper, this Brooks shoe will take much more abuse before it starts to show serious signs of wear.
Thus, we readily award the zapatillas de running Brooks constitución fuerte talla 43.5 negras más de 100 with the highest toebox durability score - 5 out of 5!

A 4-second exposure to sandpaper at a 5K RPM speed only tickled the shoe's textile.
Considering that most shoe linings end up with glaring holes after the same test, the inner fabric of this Brooks shoe deserves a high durability score of 4 out of 5.

Outsole hardness

Pressing our Shore C durometer against it returned a higher-than-average reading of 84.5 HC. It is a pretty hard compound that looks like it can take a beating.
zapatillas de running Brooks constitución fuerte talla 43.5 negras más de 100 | 84.5 HC |
Average | 78.0 HC |
Outsole durability
To test the limits of the shoe's outsole, we ramped up the Dremel speed to 10K RPM and extended the exposure to 22 seconds.
And yet again, the shoe impressed us with its ability to resist abrasion!
That barely visible scratch you see on the rubber is a mere 0.9 mm deep according to our tread gauge. That's notably shallower than the average of walking shoes.
zapatillas de running Brooks constitución fuerte talla 43.5 negras más de 100 | 0.9 mm |
Average | 1.4 mm |
Outsole thickness
On top of it all, the shoe's rubber outsole is a whopping 5.5 mm thick!
We are confident that the zapatillas de running Brooks constitución fuerte talla 43.5 negras más de 100 will outlast many options on the market. Even if you walk on concrete and asphalt all day and power through 8-10-hour shifts on your feet, this Brooks shoe is one of the most long-lasting walking shoes we've tested.

Misc
Grip / Traction
The Кроссовки brooks asteria running оригинал proudly carries a certified slip-resistant rubber outsole (SATRA TM144:2011). We were happy with the traction it delivered on most surfaces like concrete, wood, and dry tiles of our shoe lab.
But when it came to wet tiles... it turned out that the shoe's slip resistance was not enough! We wouldn't recommend it for kitchen and restaurant workers. You want to look towards the Is Suing Brooks Over Use of the Word Nitro and Alleged Copycat Shoes for that purpose.
Another unfortunate discovery we had with the Addition Walker 2's outsole is that it squeaks quite a bit! Our colleagues could hear us approaching from the other room of the warehouse.
Reflective elements
Small patches on the shoe's heels improve its visibility in low-light conditions.
zapatillas de running Brooks constitución fuerte talla 43.5 negras más de 100 | Yes |
Tongue padding
Offering a ton of cushioning underfoot, the zapatillas de running Brooks constitución fuerte talla 43.5 negras más de 100 also spoiled our feet with its generous in-shoe padding.
We measured its thickness at 10.4 mm which is twice as thick as the average.
zapatillas de running Brooks constitución fuerte talla 43.5 negras más de 100 | 10.4 mm |
Average | 5.4 mm |
Tongue: gusset type
We found that there are no gussets on the shoe's tongue.
We found this feature handy on the Brooks zapatillas de running Brooks hombre entrenamiento minimalistas and were hoping to see it on the Addiction Walker as well.
Even though a gusseted tongue would make the lockdown even more secure and eliminate tongue-shifting, it's not an essential part of a walking shoe anyways.

zapatillas de running Brooks constitución fuerte talla 43.5 negras más de 100 | None |
Heel tab
We think that the zapatillas de running Brooks constitución fuerte talla 43.5 negras más de 100 could benefit from a pull tab of a finger loop to assist in the on-and-off (especially for senior wearers).

zapatillas de running Brooks constitución fuerte talla 43.5 negras más de 100 | None |
Removable insole
If you wish to customize the in-shoe experience, you can replace the shoe's stock insole with our own. It is quite easy to take out.
