The shoes look good, but I am returning them due to a low number of lace holes. They felt like the laces barely held the shoe on my foot.

Very cheap feel to these sneakers. They are more of a flat foot design. There is not a big arc to them at all. The photos are much more deceiving in showing the true colors of these sneakers. They are more of a gray color than what appears online. Online it looks like they are white, but they are more of a dark gray. Also, there aren't a lot of lace holes - so my feet felt and looked like they were going to pop right out of the sneakers. Going to return them right now - and get what I should have purchased in the first place - ASICS!

Great shoes. I got the grey with orange trim and get positive comments every time I wear them. I have a narrow foot and still had to order a full size larger--and they are still snug.

I am returning these shoes because they felt a full size smaller, hence very tight in the toe box.

More than just a shoe, Zappos is one, if not the best online place to do business. I do like this shoe very much, however Zappos has always given me the best customer experience consistently! Oh Yeah the shoe is awesome also. And no they have not given me anything extra to say these nice things about them!!! Now if anyone else wants to toss some shoes my way I could use a size 10 hiking boot. Hah! hah!

Very comfortable for walking the dog, taking a leisurely trail run, or hiking around the office. I found them more comfortable than the previous version, and I've worn almost all of the Alvords. Basic boring black but perfect for most casual workplaces.

I have large, rather square-ish feet (14E), and I've struggled over most of my adult life to find good quality, comfortable, everyday-type sneakers that I can wear longer than an hour before I want to throw them in the trash and go back to wearing my Crocs! But, alas, I finally have found the shoe for me! I have been very unlucky over the years finding a shoe to fit my needs, especially from Nike, but I tried on these Air Alvord 10s in the Wolf Grey/Black/University Red (OSU Buckeyes colors!) at a local Shoe Carnival and immediately fell in love. I liked them so much that I just had to have the Dark Grey/Total Orange*/Black models as well to go with all of my Chicago Bears apparel. I ordered them from Zappos despite the fact that they were not available in the Extra Wide, but as it turns out, the regular width 14s are a great fit, and I couldn't be more pleased. I hope Nike continues to make these Air Alvords for years to come. *Beware, buyers, the Total Orange is extremely bright, and not for the faint of heart or sight.

I like the Alvord very much. I just ordered my fifth pair. They are very comfortable, largely due to excellent ventilation and a sturdy, but comfortable sole. I hope they never discontinue this model.

Although this is marketed as a trail runner I would't put it in that category. Very similar to other running shoes and nothing that really makes it special on trails over the street. Still it's comfortable and seems to hold up well.

The good: - They fit well (if a little small like most Nikes). - They're comfortable. - Work really well for mixed media running (trail/pavement/sand). The bad: - They don't breathe particularly well. - They take on water pretty quickly. - The orange of the sole faded in the sun the first day I had them out to dry.

My daughter wore these shoes for two days around the house and they look as if she has worn them for months. They look horrble.
