I bought these for my husband. He is a 13 4E and always complains his feet hurt. These shoes have become his go-to shoes. He says they fit great and are very comfortable. Thanks Zappos for carrying hard to find sizes!

I love these Avia shoes. I own several pairs, mostly studio shoes. Avia always fits me correctly. I have gotten a lot of compliments on the Avia A5020W.

Love these shoes, however found them to run small. Normally buy 9W, ordered 9M, and even though width is fine, my toes touch the front of the shoe. Had to order a 9.5M which fit perfectly. Great value for the money!

I was actually surprised at how light these are. Nice arch support and they run a bit wide which is great for my feet. They actually seem to have more support than my older Asics. At first glance the only cons I could see about this shoe is the padding is a little stiff (may change with break in) and the sole of the shoe seems a little delicate; I'm not sure how well they'd hold up to lots of gravel or dirt running. I would say these are great for daily wearing, walking, low impact (cross trainer, weight lifting, biking). If you're running a half marathon, I'd go with a little more cushion.

I love Zappos, ordered these shoes for my husband, had to return the shoes for a half size bigger. Not a problem since shipping is complimentary. I have ordered so many shoes and even some clothing. Love Zappos!

Great sneaker for the price! I can feel this will be a great all around walking shoe this summer! A fairly lightweight shoe with meshy top for ventilation. Nice cushioning.

Great shoes for the price. You don't need that darn Nike swoosh logo on your shoes. These are good shoes.

These are the best running shoes that I have ever bought. So I continue to buy this Avia model. I am suspecting, though, that it has been discontinued, which is why I snapped up the last pair in my size. They offer stability, cushioning and flexibility, are lightweight, has generously placed reflectors all around the shoe, not just on the heel, and offers great traction.

I a m a first time customer. I mistakenly ordered the wrong size-when I called for label to return staff was very helpful-I reordered the correct size and received them before I even returned the other pair-and was not charged. Process was simple and fast. Plan to shop at Zappos more often!!!

Inexpensive but not cheap. Does fit smaller than expected. I had to order a full size up from what is typical for me.

The shoes are wonderful- very light, good support, and a great price! Zappos once again has great and speedy service too. Very pleased with both!

I love these shoes! They are great for running, cross training, anything fitness related. I love the black and pink colors too. There was a review saying to order these half a size up. I was nervous about my order since I ordered it true to my normal size. I am glad I did, they are a perfect fit. Definitely order for your normal size.

I have major problems with my feet and have a very hard time finding shoes that don't bother my feet. It has gotten to the point that money is no object as long as my feet don't hurt. I bought my first pair of Avia shoes yesterday afternoon and last night walked over 3 miles and my feet were great. They are light weight and roomy and the price was right. I love them!

Was looking for a shoe that I could wear for workouts that include a lot of lateral movement and jumping (Turbo Fire), so needed something with good support and cushion under the ball of the foot. Tried these as well as the Avia A1371W. They did not fit the same at all! This shoe felt narrow and stiff, yet with less support than the A1371W. I returned these and went with the others, which have become my favorite aerobics shoe.

I tried many, many pairs of athletic shoes in search of the right one for doing kickboxing workouts. My requirements were:1. fit my foot well with no sliding;2. have good forefoot cushioning;3. have good lateral stability;4. to be able to pivot easily (need sole without lots of traction).My foot is hard to fit. I have a very narrow heel but wide through the ball of the foot. This shoe has a roomy toebox, stays on my heel, and has good arch support. It meets all my criteria above and is also very lightweight! I almost did not order this shoe because it is so much cheaper than others I had tried. They are not the cutest shoe out there, either. But who cares - they work for my workouts! I mostly do Turbo Jam and Turbo Fire in them, but also gym and crosstraining (lots of plyometrics). These are the best, and I could even afford to buy multiple pairs just in case they ever stop making them.

The Avia is a good looking and comfortable shoe but found it 2 full sizes smaller than marked. My husband usually wears a 9 to 9.5 shoe. My husband had to order an 11.5 to fit properly. Otherwise, a great shoe.

I'm in my 50's and work at a home improvement store. I can't imagine how many miles I walk a day on concrete floors which gave me plantar fasciitis. Now the miles fly by and my feet feel great thanks to these great shoes.

These sneakers are awesome! I recently joined a gym and was using the treadmill wearing an older pair of Nikes. I have bad knees and couldn't use any incline without pain and my feet would hurt after my workout. I got these sneakers and noticed a HUGH difference right away! I can set the treadmill incline on 15 and walk faster and after an hour--no pain at all! They look sharp too and everyone asks where I got them. Zappos service was the best as always! ZAPPOS RULES!!

I love these shoes. I have problems with the ball of my foot and shooting pain in some sneakers, and these are better than Brooks! I am an 11½ and they fit great.

I wanted walking shoes big on comfort and these did not disappoint! They provide good arch support. There is lots of room in the toe box, but not so much that my forefoot slides around in shoes. They run true to size. The best part was the outstanding Zappos' service! I chatted on line for size recommendations as I wear an 8½ to 9 usually, though need larger in some Nike running shoes. Zappos is wonderful! And I was pleased with the super quick delivery! Great shoe shopping experience!
