I really like Avia shoes lately. It is very hard for me to find shoes that can hold up under my weight since I weigh around 250 pounds. Many shoes that I have bought in the past wear out in the soles from the constant crushing of the heel area in only about a month. It seems as though the Avias are the only shoes that are supportive enough for me and they feel great when I run in them and can hold up under the impact when my feet hit the ground, where as when I try to run in other brands, the shoes feel like they are going to fall apart. Even after about a year of wear, all the Avia shoes that I have bought still feel great and have that bouncy feeling like when they are new. They are also very stable due to the construction of the sole. So all in all, the shoes are very comfortable and hold up really well. Zappos\' service is phenomenal and I will keep coming back!
