I had been looking for an arch rocking toner shoe for quite some time in a Woman's EEEE shoe. I found this Men's size 9.5 and it has been great!

These shoes are extremely comfortable. The leather is very soft and supple, and the sole is a perfect blend of cushioning and support. The only thing better than these shoes is Zappos amazing service! Thanks, Zappos!

My husband had back surgery and had difficulty walking after that. These shoes have been marvelous for him. He has a longer stride and doesn't get as tired walking. His podiatrist was enthusiastic, too, and said my husband didn't need to wear his orthotics with these shoes, because of the foot motion. I got a pair, too, and I love them--and I don't need orthotics!

I only buy Avia shoes, but since I like to try new things, I bought the iShape (otherwise known as Skechers). The shoe was all one could ask for, except older men should not buy then because while standing the toes do not touch the floor, and that is most important for balance. Therefore, if you have no problems with balance, this is the shoe for you, otherwise regretfully pass for a conventional style.

This shoe is amazing! I recently had knee surgery and this shoe helped me walk correctly with mobility. Prior to knee surgery, I used orthotics in my shoes. With these shoes I am walking better and without pain. I only wish they had better color selection. I will buy these shoes again.

The description was extremely accurate, ordering was easy, and the shoes arrived on the day that they were scheduled. These Avia shoes are very comfortable and do exactly what the description says they do. You feel your legs are getting a gentle but steady work out as you do any normal activity. I highly recommend them for people who don't get a chance to go to the gym but walk a lot for exercise. A very pleasant experience all around.

These shoes are so comfortable and I love them. I use them to do my daily walking and they work so good. There is just enough curve in the sole to keep my feet from sliding forward. They are much more comfortable than the Skechers brand. I recommend them.

I have worn Avias for the last twenty years and when I saw they made a men's toning shoe I ordered it fairly quickly. I'm glad to say that like just about all the other Avia shoe I've used these are a joy to wear. They run a bit wide in the toebox which is ideal for my particular foot. I order the regular medium width. Very comfortable, great looking shoes, and as always Zappos delivered them very quickly and beautifully packed.

My husband has neuropathy in his feet. The extra cushioning in this shoe has been very helpful. However, the lack of more shoe in the toe area takes a little getting used to.

I bought these iShape on the recommendation of a friend who told me they were more comfortable than Skechers. The shoes are lighter than Skechers but, for me, not as comfortable. I would not purchase another pair of iShape but, clearly, it's a matter of personal preference.

Did not hold up well at all. I have never had a pair of sneakers or walking shoes that self-destructed so quickly. Both soles are cracking in half after two months of moderate use. I have years-old sneakers laying around that have taken a serious beating and none had anything like this happen to them. It is unfortunate because I found these to be comfortable and excellent as a walking exercise shoe. I liked the rocking action of the shape and felt they did tone muscle as promised, but at this rate it would cost me so much money a year to keep buying them.
