    I recently ordered both color combos of this shoe and have been pleased with the result. It has the legendary cantilever heel enhanced by an encapsulated air-bag for a nice cushioning feel. They also come with two different colored laces. I would say this is more for casual use than serious training. Zappos needs no introduction from me as they have been the vanguard of great customer service for a long time now.

    Very good, comfortable running shoes. Almost as comfortable as my old Avia 5506 running shoes, which I thought were the most comfortable shoes ever. I like the fit of these shoes and the cushioning.

    Brands I'd also recommend: Avia has always been the best when it comes to athletic shoes.

    Wow! I have owned Avia sneaks for a number of years. These by far are great! Though I should of gotten a half size bigger, they are still comfy and they don't twist my ankle down and inward like similar top brands do. Great stability and comfort for my cross training needs. Style wise very cool looking mesh, breathable and supportive materials.

    These shoes worked great for football training last year. They are really comfortable and have good arch support. They also have good grip on wet grass which is important. The mesh makes the shoes extremely light in weight, yet still very durable and supportive. The arch support totally beats my old Adidas trainers.

    from Carrollton, TX

    Bought these for two reasons: 1. Don't own this brand, so I wanted to give it a try. 2. The design looked good and the neon on top of the gray was appealing. However, I wouldn't recommend this shoe. It feels stiff and after more than a dozen "outings" I feel it may take more time than I expected for this shoe to get its shape. I don't have any other issues with the shoe, it performs well and after the initial adjustment to the rigidity. I can wear it for the duration of the activity. Unfortunately it's not on top of my list when I make a selection for the morning workout.

    I really like these shoes! They are light and very comfortable. I have had them for a while now and no wear or tear yet, so woo hoo! I really recommend these to anyone. I use mine for weight lifting and gym usage but they can be used as daily shoes or running shoes and they look awesome.

    These are great shoes for the price. I am not a hard core runner, though. I just wanted a pair of cheap athletic shoes. I like the mesh as it breaths nicely.

    The very first time I wore them to play volleyball, one of the insole flattened in a spot. So I had to upgrade these expensive shoes with a set of cheap Dr. Scholl's insoles. That was kind of disappointing. Otherwise, these fit well and are finished nicely. They come with a set of gray laces, which I installed immediately, because the neon yellow is a little loud.

    These are comfortable and light. I like Avia for the cantilever cushioning. I don't run much or very fast (10 miles a week) and they are fine. I did not heed the reviews and had to send back the first pair as they were a half size too small. The second pair came in 2 days and we live on an island in Maine. Great service. If you wear these while doing anything dusty, your socks will collect all the dust through the mesh. I can't wear them while turning wood.

    This is my first purchase from Zappos and I am really glad about it. These shoes have a type of fabric that actually allows air to flow through the top of the shoes. When it's hot you can feel the heat and tell how much difference there is with these shoes compared to others. Extremely light! I swear these are the lightest shoes I've ever worn. These Avias are meant for walking/running and I highly recommend them.
