Back Pain - I bought these shoes for the looks. I use them for walking and know that they were intended for running. After 3 days wearing the shoes, my back hurt so badly that I ended up going to the emergency room. Seems I pulled a muscle. I believe it is because you bounce when walking in the shoes. I will give them another try as soon as my back feels better.

I love these shoes! I bought them specifically for Jazzercise and they are perfect! At first I was concerned because they aren't leather, but the synthetic material used makes these so light. I have really wide feet and they fit great. In addition, I have plantar fasciitis and these make it possible for me to still work out. I am convinced that the Rykas that I bought caused the PF.

This Avia shoe is excellent for aerobics and step. I work out 6 times a week. I love them! Love them. Since this shoe is all man made leather it gives super support.

I love my new sneakers! They fit well and are very comfortable. They arrived within the time promised and I have no worries about having to return them if necessary.

I wore a different Avia model prior that is discontinued. They lasted a long time and offered a lot of support which I need as I work in a dental office all day. I bought 4 pairs over the years. This model, A1371 fits me well, I usually wear an 8 sneaker and my foot is a little wide. However it has a bit less support and while I am happy with the shoe I definitely don't think it will hold up as long as the other one support-wise or material. However if you wear it casually it is fine. I will be trying another model next time because cushioning and longevity are a priority for me. As an aside, I talked at length with Avia customer support before I purchased and they were very helpful in describing the styles and trying to find one that could replace my older model. Call them if you have questions! My Zappos purchase experience was great!

I wear avias at work everyday and like the way they fit and support my feet. I have a somewhat wide foot and have bunions. I ordered these in size 8 like my current ones and found them to be about a half size short. They are comfortable and supportive to my heel and arch so will try again with 8 1/2.

I love these shoes for so many reasons. I love that they don't have the weird mesh material that a lot of athletic shoes these days do. I have arthritis, fallen arches and heel spurs and with these shoes, I don't have to take my pain meds. They really are that amazing. So comfortable!

Searched high and low to find these sneakers. Purchased the same pair (different color) last year and loved them. Found them at Zappos and was thrilled and loved Zappos speedy delivery.

These were recommended by friends because I wanted a comfortable shoe to work out in. These shoes were the most uncomfortable tennis shoe I have ever owned. If comfort is what your looking for, this is not the shoe for you.

Avia shoes offer the best support for workouts, as well as walks. I have worn this brand exclusively for over seven years, and keep coming back to them, because they are so good!

Gives me good support for my Achilles tendon (healed rupture) and knees.

You get what you pay for. If you are looking for a cheap pair of shoes to wear for day-to-day activities, these shoes would probably suffice. But if you are looking for shoes to wear when you walk for exercise, don't waste your money. First, I had to exchange them for a full size larger than what I usually wear. Then, I realized about a mile into my first walk in these shoes that the insoles are almost non-existent (I put some Dr. Scholl's in). Finally, before I'd covered 20 miles in the shoes, I got a blister on one of my little toes, where the seam rubbed against my foot.

Awesome sneakers! My daughter-in-law suggested trying Avia's. I have never tried them before. The fit is perfect and they are very lightweight, sharp to look at and the price was the icing on the cake! Way to go Zappos!

I've always bought this brand of sneakers -- but to make sure, I ordered another brand to see if they were better. They weren't. I do have a high arch and this. Avia fits perfectly.

I have always liked this sneaker. It fits my foot well. The storees around me did not have my size so after 3 unsuccessful shopping trips I decided to buy it on line. I got two pairs. I have been able to buy these elsewhere for somewhat less but I realized I was wasting a lot of my time with these unsuccessful shopping trips.

I really like these shoes. I bought them for Zumba and cardiokickboxing; they work well for both. And as a bonus, somehow they make my feet look tiny! I do wish there was a bit of mesh for cooling the feet. What there is appears to be cosmetic, as it is on the top of a heavily padded tongue. But the shoe is comfortable for exercise class as it is.

I loved the Avia Archrocker shoes but the heels fell apart too quickly so I switched to these. I have been happy for the most part, but they are not as comfortable on your feet and legs as the Archrocker. I bought half a size larger and they are still a little snug. I would buy these shoes again just because the heel is not falling apart like the Archrocker did!

This is the second pair of A1371W shoes I have purchased. Obviously, I purchased the second pair because of my satisfaction with the first.
