Customer Reviews Gravity Defyer XLR8

I wear a wide shoe. After reading the reviews, I ordered a half size up and this wide was tight in the toe box. The design of the shoe pushes my toes toward the center, making it very uncomfortable. When are shoe manufacturers going to realize that human feet do not come to a point?! Also, length was fine in the bigger shoe, but my heel was coming out so had to relace the shoes to hold it on my foot better which caused the "plastic" (not soft material) tongue to cut into the front of my ankle. Gravity Defyer's info that comes with the shoe recommends you try it on for an hour or so a day to "break it in." As my foot doctor tells me, you should never have to break in a shoe. If it doesn't feel comfortable when you put it on, don't buy it. These were not comfortable, so returned.

LOVE THE BLUE!!! Gravity Defyer does everything they claim to do in helping Plantar fasciitis (fashee-EYE-tiss). It is the most common cause of pain on the bottom of the heel. Approximately 2 million patients are treated for this condition every year. I purchased the black pair first. After I broke them in they help relieve the pain so much!!! So I got a blue pair to switch up. Love them both!!! Could not work without theses shoes!!! Plantar fasciitis occurs when the strong band of tissue that supports the arch of your foot becomes irritated and inflamed.

These may work for some, but they immediately made my feet ache and I've found - after purchasing many pairs of shoes, that if they don't feel good right out of the box, they will never feel good. I did like the styling and had to order up a size.

compared to my other shoes and sneakers these are short. My foot is almost touching the end and not as wide as my ee brooks adreniline

These shoes are working really well for my Morton's neuroma. I believe that they are zero drop (if not, they're close) and also have a stiff platform sole, which is keeping the bulk of my weight off of the ball of my foot. I like that there are 3 insole options. Really pleased with this shoe.

Shoe is 1 size smaller than the 8 I always wear. Ordered 9 fit PERFECT. LOVE LOVE LOVE these shoes. Excellent arch support. They come with 2 arch inserts. I ordered another style and the arch supports were removed from previous sale. Comfortable right out of the box. I have the 2nd pair of "corrective" supports in and they are amazing. Immediately noticed stance change. Wish they came in white option. I ordered the black and pink. They are even better in person. Room, support, looks what's not to like. 5 stars all the way!

Too short, not enough room in toe box - and this is a 1/2 size larger than my usual size.

They run small and they tend to slip at the heel.

These were so painful on my severe PF that I had to return them, after wearing them for about 3 minutes indoors. A pair of moderate stability running shoes of a different brand was far more comfortable for me.

I paid full price and the shoes looks like someone else returned them. Missing the athletic support inserts.

Thanks

I normally only wear Brooks but decided to try these. Regular shoe size is 10, athletic shoes 10.5 which is what I ordered from GD. They are not as large in the toe box as Brooks but fit well, super comfortable and great arch support!

i just bought same size in another color and they were perfect. The most comfortable shoes ever. This second pair was at least a half size larger, not sure what happened. Am going to try ordering a half size smaller, they are so comfortable.

I’m loving them . I love the way they feel and look they are very comfortable and supportive. I think that i am going to invest in a nother pair next month .

too many lace holes and laces too short. Don't like the lace fabric - its hard to get ahold of to tighten or loosen them. Like the shoe and the feel of cushion, but will be returning because of the laces. They hurt my hands, its work trying to deal with them.

The shoe runs small. I plan to exchange it and try again.

i wear a 10 extra wide had to send back and get a 10 1/2 extra wide and still very narrow at toes. One foot is worse than the other. I could have used another half size longer. They are great looking but when they start to hurt that will not matter. This shoe needs to start over for wide and extra wide as well as length.
