Customer Reviews Aravon Farren - DELETED

There is very little vertical room in the toe box and the shoe runs at least a half size small compared to Brooks or Asics. Had I known this line is made by New Balance, I would have expected this and not order the shoes. Moreover, the laces are very thick and ugly.

I ordered these because I need a good pair of walking shoes that fit my custom orthotics. I thought they'd be great because they're made by New Balance, which is what I always wear with my orthotics. You would think my orthotics would also fit in these, but it was NOT EVEN CLOSE. Plus, honestly, they're just very unattractive. Guess I'll stick with my NB trainers.

I have a hard time finding shoes that work right with my feet. Finally got rid of the plantar fasciitis, but have to be so careful not to bring it back. So, after trying on many different shoes, looking for a black sneaker/walking shoe for an upcoming trip, I came across these. Initially, I thought they were ideal, even though they are a bit granny-ish, with those holes on the side. However, I have worn them now, and after the longest day discovered my foot had started to hurt again! NOOO! Since I have worn them outside, I cannot return them, but what a waste of $$. And what is up with those laces? Too short and too slippery to stay tied!

This Aravon shoe is made in China, not US as in the past. The sizing is completely different from the US made brand. The China shoe is too narrow, the box is too small, the lenght is too short compared to the same size of the US made shoe. I would consider this a China rip off of questionable quality. I believe Aravon was bought out by Rockport and is not made by New Balance anymore. I am sending this back and going to a store to find my correct size.
