Customer Reviews Athletic Propulsion Labs (APL) Techloom Bliss

Super comfortable but I have to be honest...they’re ugly. And for the money I must LOVE them, which I didn’t...back they go.

Absolutely love these for every day and for travelling - they slide on and off with ease but stay snug and secure throughout the day. Personally, too cushy to provide a stable base for weightlifting and not locked down enough for running, but both of those features make them *the most comfortable* things I’ve ever put on my feet. Love the white on white - they look so effortlessly stylish. Ordered them in two more colorways. I don’t ever want to take them off.

Wow! The reviews about comfort and the price tag made me hesitant to try these, but I’m so glad I did! They are so comfy and easy to slip on. Perfect for a mom of two young kids. I plan on wearing them for everyday and walking.

Super comfortable shoes but I noticed I was sent a size 7.5 instead of 8. Worn too many times and don’t have the packaging anymore but would have returned. The shoe is stretchy so the 7.5 fits but my correct size 8 would have been perfect. Double check your size when ordering thru Zappos

Bought these as I’m pregnant and wanted a comfortable easy slip on shoe since bending over isn’t my friend these days. These have been perfect! Light, comfortable, stylish, and easy to get on! Honestly not sure id want to workout in them though.

Super comfy. The satin strap is very shiny.... a matte finish would work better for me. The sizing is hard. They’re a bit roomy but going down a half size was too small.

These were for the wife,,, but she gave me two thumbs up on them.

Bought these for athleisure wear, not for working out. I would recommend trying some pairs on in store somewhere to find your correct size. I am normally a 10 and even the 10.5 felt too small. I bought an 11, woof, but love the look, the slip on ease and the cushion in the heel. I am not slipping out and my toes are not pushing out of the top. Then you can find the color and style you want and order online. Beware they get dirty quick but are too cute, so maybe spray with a protectant like I wish I did!

The wonderful comfort and style of these shoes helps to justify the price point. In the lace up style I wear a 7 1/2, but in these the size 7 is a more secure fit . Love the color selection as well. Will buy another pair if they go on sale.

I gave 3 stars for comfort due to arch support. I have a high-ish arch, but these have no arch. My husband has a "flintstone foot" lol, and he tried on and loved! Very stretchy upper fabric (hence why hubby could fit his foot in them 2 sizes larger than mine) and super cute. I ordered the black w/black sole, but returning due to no arch support.

I love how these shoes look and they are nice and easy to slip on for quick errands. They aren’t the most comfortable, I was hoping they would have more cushion but they’re kind of firm. I don’t think they are suitable for wear for long periods of time on your feet or too much walking.

Based on other reviews I thought my normal size 8 would have been fine, however I would definitely suggest going 1/2 size up. Other than that the shoes are so light and the stretchy material is super comfortable! Would definitely recommend.

Really wanted to love these esp to use for working out and walking but my feet hurt once I put them on. My pinky toes were squished and they made noise when I walked.

Comfortable but not worth $220. You can see pretty clearly where they glued the components together, and while comfortable, certainly not the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn.

Disappointed in sole and cushioning, everything else (fit/style/color) was great.

Fit and size were true but the shoe felt and looked cheap. The champagne color is glittery and the white looks like cheap plastic. Very light weight but not sure it is worth the expensive price.

This is a super cute you to look at it. However, when you put it on, it is as if you were walking on the floor with your bare feet. Seems there is no cushioning in the shoe to provide support. All in all a cute shoe, but does not have the needed support.

How do they cost this much money and are not true to size? They seem like they would be comfy if they fit, but they don’t- though these are wide enough for my wide feet, my toe mashes into the end as if they were a full size smaller. Real irritating- I can’t even exchange them because the larger sizes are sold out.

I have been waring Hokas, but wanted to try something different. As others have noted the APLs are comfortable, but they have an odd fit— my big toe hits the front of the shoe, but the heels slip. I am sure if I went up even a half size, the shoes would not stay on my feet. Also, the shoes offer very little in the way of support. I will keep them for wearing around the house and yard, but they did not work well for me for even a short walk. They do look nice, though.

I liked the look, and they were pretty comfortable, but they felt uniformly tight, which doesn't work for my feet. I don't have a bunion, but the area at the base of the big toe protrudes a normal amount, and it was aching after going for a run. Also, it felt like my foot was sliding forward or something, like I had to periodically kick my heel into the back of the shoe. I wanted to keep them, but they just didn't work for my feet. While I went for about 6.5 miles, I run the first half, walked the second half.... and later that evening, my feet and ankles ached a lot-- more than normal. No bueno!

I received a pair from my sister who knows I'm always favoring functional shoes that look good for travel. Felt I needed to wear socks with these to fill the shape - I'm a barefoot easy on/easy off person. Ended up ordering your apropos footwear sport skimmer for bit more support and dressier look - very happy to become more acquainted with zappos.

Previously bought another style of APL (Techloom Pro) size 9 which was a little small so bought 9-1/2 which work well for me with one type of elliptical. However, these shoes appear to be a full size too large (even with thick compression socks on) as if sized for dress shoes. I think they might be very comfortable but hard to tell when your feet are swimming in them. And I agree with another reviewer: these are absolutely NOT running shoes. Not sure I would even risk them on an elliptical trainer. I intended them for work/casual wear and I plan to take advantage of Zappos' very generous return process and try 8-1/2 (and 9?). At the head-spinning price of $200/pair, they are going to have to fit perfectly to be kept.

Best lifting shoe, my feet tend to swell in the mornings. These are great for me. Give full support without cutting in

Beautiful shoes. I normally wear an 8.5 in street shoes. I bought these to wear in the house -I walk up and down stairs and all over the house every day. I have a high, rigid arch and a high instep. My first foot is worse, and I will say the top of my right foot is somewhat annoyed (goes numb, stabby pain whe. I have been seated and then get up). The satin trim is so lovely. They are very cushioned and my plantar fascia is happier. I said ‘no arch support’ because it’s not supposed to be corrective/supportive, it’s supposed to be cushioned and it absolutely is cushioned.

For me these fit true to size all around, 7 1/2, 100%. As for comfort, can’t speak to the foot bed for standing on hard surfaces for hours, YET, but the fit is perfect for my foot. Every one has differently shaped feet, so I understand some of the reviews, but they feel like they were made for my foot! Finally, the weight virtually nothing! Yay! Don’t know that I will ever pay FULL price, but I’d go close to it.
