Customer Reviews Etonic Minado MC

Excellent stable shoe - This is a great comfortable shoe. I wore Etonic's Stable Pro/Stability Pro for many years but this shoe is an improvement over that. For very wide flat feet these are great. Roomy toe box. They are not easy to put on and they are not lightweight but they are very stable and extremely supportive. I have had plantar fasciitis and both foot and knee surgeries so must have stable shoes that fit perfectly---and so far these are the best bet. Wearing a 9.5 EE with swelling problems makes it very hard to buy shoes. I think they run a bit short in the length so would advise ordering one half size up. I order a 10 in these but wear a 9.5 in Propét. But width runs true. Not very deeply cushioned---add a pair of Spenco insoles if that is needed. Overall just exactly as advertised and for me, finally, the perfect fit!

GREAT SHOE! I love the shoe. Best walking shoe I have ever worn. I do the Breast Cancer 60 Mile Walk and the next time, I will be wearing this shoe! They are light, comfortable and look great. Even my friends who don't particularly like sport shoes think this one looks good and have asked me what it is and where they can buy it.

Etonic Minado MC - These are the most awesomest sneakers ever! I have Fat, double wide, flat, feet. These were recommended to me for the overpronator (which I am). My feet are so comfy in this sneaker I never want to take it off. It has even lessened my heel pain without inserts. I have four children under the age of 4 and I now have the energy to keep up with them, my back no longer aches and my feet no longer scream out in pain when I stand up! The only draw back is that the style I have has a bright bright blue pattern with the white reflectors - my husband says they are a bit "TOO BRIGHT" for his taste - but they are on my feet not his! As another customer had said in their review - yes you can feel the wind blow through the tops (They are a breathable mesh) but I didn't find it to bothersome during the last ice storm, my feet were still warm and DRY.

Nice, but- These shoes overall are great, but there is one small problem. The seams on the small toes dig in. I have to wear men’s tube socks because the seam on the sock with the seam in the shoes hurts my toes. Still trying to get used to them. If you don’t have bad feet like mine they are great. It is too bad I had to wear them to find out, trying them on and walking around in the house I couldn’t tell until I wore them all day at work. Boy was my toe sore. Why can’t they make shoes without the seams in the toe area?

Wonderful. Like walking on air. No need to break in and it fits my orthotics. Only complaint is it doesn't breathe as well as other shoes.

Love them - I have orthotics and they fit perfectly in these shoes. I also have an injured tendon, and they provide lots of support. I have not run in them as I'm not currently able to run, but they are great for walking and are extremely comfortable and have LOTS of support.

Best Sneakers - EVER! I love these sneakers! I have the WORST time finding comfortable sneakers and have hunted high and low for the perfect pair of sneaks. I've walked for miles and miles in this pair of Etonics and they're just as comfortable now as they were the first day I wore them. I think it is best to order them a half size larger than you normally wear. I live in the Northeast and it gets cold, so if you plan to wear these sneakers in cold weather - double up on the socks because the wind blows straight through the top and freezes your toes! That's the only complaint I have with these sneakers. :o)

The perfect shoe for people with OA on the top of the feet - I have osteoarthritis on the tops of both of my feet. Every step I take causes these bones to rub against each other causing a lot of pain. Until today, I have never found a shoe that could eliminate the pain when I walk. I bought this shoe in an 8W which is the size I usually wore. They were a little tight, so I ordered and 8X2E. The next day the shoes were delivered. I tried them on & walked in them & for the first time in years did not feel any pain! This shoe is quite deep, excellent arch, a very thick sole and a lot of padding. I don't know what the UPS guy thinks as he stops at my home so much delivering shoes from Zappos, but one thing I do know is that I am so grateful for Zappos free shipping and quick delivery & exchange policies. Thank-you Zappos.

Great shoe! I am back walking 4 and 5 miles a day...who ray!!! After receiving the bad news that I have Hallux Rigid (stiff big PAINFUL toe) and getting my huge orthotics thought my long trail/road walks were over. These shoes, are for severe protators...,and my orthos fit. I have a med. to wide foot, I chose a med. and 1/2 in larger...perfect fit! I wish they came in black, or darker color, so as to not show dirt and mud as bad.Id wear them though if they were florcent orange,as they are that comfortable. Worth the money.

Best shoes ever!! These shoes felt wonderful the moment I put them on! Never a blister! The reviews were very accurate, delivery prompt, and the Bill Me Later system is great for those who don't use credit cards. Thank you, Zappos!

Minado - I use to be a fan of New Balance but these have far better support and comfort. Wish they could have a variety of color combinations to choose from.

Found the laces different. They are scalloped rather than flat--a new experience.

Etonic and Zappos are # 1 - I was in so much pain with my feet trying any shoe at any price, I've have shoes much more expensive than these. I had my doubts, that's for sure. The second I put them on, I felt as if my feet had been touched by an angel. I can walk and even stand all day (I'm a dog groomer and don't sit very much) These shoes are the best. I am still going to see a Dr. about the pain in my feet when I don't have my shoes on. I have to wear them till I go to bed. My knees and back don't hurt any more. I am going to order another pair and just wear these at the groomery. I LOVE THEM!!!!!!!! Thank you Zappos!!!!!

Wonderful choice - I ordered these shoes in 9.5 Wide. Very comfortable, fits my orthotics, nice wide toe. Perfect for my feet.

Walk around the world in these! I've been on the treadmill with them for 2 weeks now and they are fantastic - like walking on marshmallows, great comfort and they have improved my stamina as well. I'm a size 9.5 but I always go up 1/2 size in athletic shoes, so size 10 was perfect.

I love these shoes. Ran in them first time tonight. They are great for my really high arch and wide toe area. I usually wear 9 wide in running shoes, and the 9 wide in these fit perfect.

Good shoe for orthotics - First of all, Zappos is wonderful to work with. I had to try many pairs of walking shoes before finding this pair, so I really appreciated the free shipping both ways and easy returns. I walk on a treadmill for one hour 5 days/week to keep my back strong (I have had disk surgery twice). I wear orthotics for a neuroma, high arch, and 1/4 inch lift for one heel. Most athletic shoes have an elevated heel, which is too much with the heel of my orthotics (my back is thrown out of balance). I tried Earth shoes, but their heels were too negative for me. These Etonics do not have a high heel. They also are very roomy in the toe box, which I like. My only complaint is that the shoe laces are notched; making them difficult to pull through the holes; but that is a very minor problem.

Great shoes! I branched out after years of only wearing New Balance walking shoes. These pass with flying colors and surpassed my expectations. I actually prefer these.

Great shoe - Got about 100 miles on them now and I really like them.

An excellent shoe - A few years ago my chiropractor suggested a pair of similar Etonic shoes. They are not only the most comfortable walking shoes I ever had but, they lasted extremely well. I tried on several other brands when shopping for new ones and couldn't find any nearly as comfortable. Zappos was the only on-line retailer I could find which had Etonic. My new ones are just as wonderful as the first ones.

Etonic Minado MC - I was pleased with the size and comfort...and the look...I was worried that the shoes would be heavy to run in but pleased to find that they were not...I used to have a pair of Etonic running shoes and was unable to find the same shoe of course because that was twenty years ago! But I'll be looking to see if you bring them back...I must have put thousands of miles on those shoes...Thanks, Susan B

Feet don't feel the same - I have been trying to walk to loose weight but my feet were killing me and my legs were dragging! Since getting the Etonic Minado MC shoes I can walk farther and faster. Without my feet and legs feeling like lead weights.

Great great athletic shoe - I wanted to try something different from New Balance...I wear a size 13B women's shoe and have almost always had to get men's New Balance, because the women's 13 is almost always short. Funny, since all of my regular 13 shoes are a bit big on me. Anyway, I did my research on motion control shoes for over pronators and came with this and the NB 1221 (which I already have in a men's size). Well, this shoe is amazing...totally stabile and cushioned while I workout and great just for walking! I already ordered another pair to keep at the gym! GREAT SHOE!!!!

Great support, made for a very high arch - Great support---if you have a wide foot and high arch, this is the shoe for you (D width). I've run for 35 years and really love this shoe!

Perfect Walker! What a great walker! No more knee pain! The arch support on these shoes is just perfect. They also have a bit more depth just in case I need my orthodics. If you are a die hard walker as I am and go up and down several hills during your trek, these are some really comfortable shoes. They are light with a lot of support!
