| Not all bad - Felt great right out of the box. I have severe plantar problems and am very active both at the gym and around the house. I'm on my feet most of the day, caring for 3 small children. I usually wear through my shoes very quickly and this one was no exception. Before I wore out the support, etc, though, a seam on the outside of the right shoe broke and my pinky toe could stick out. Not good. I am very hard on my shoes and I wear tennies like these every day. I felt that it fell apart quicker than it should have. Probably fine for light use. |

| Whenever you make a choice to order online or to "shop around" locally, you must choose between time vs. money, shipping charges, delays, and so on. While I was really happy to find the Avia athletic shoes I wanted on Zappos, I was absolutely thrilled when you then alerted me that Zappos would be expediting my order, free of charge! Wow, how cool was that?! I literally got them the next day and immediately wore them to the trail to walk my dog. I don't think I remember the last time any retailer did anything so generous. Thank you, Zappos. That was very cool. |

| A MUST HAVE - Bought these to replace my other AVIA gym shoes - I originally ordered the sneaker in size 10 W but had to return and reorder a size 11 - now the fit is perfect. I normally wear a 10 and thought that the Wide would fit - but it does run a size small - the regular size 11 feels like my normal 10 - They truly are a wonderful sneaker - very comfortable and I have not had to "break them in" - they already feel as though I have been wearing them for some time. Thanks again Zappos!! |

| Shoe Fits & Feels Really Good - After purchasing two other pairs of Avia shoes from Zappos, this pair fit and felt the best. I teach step aerobics and this shoe feels really good stepping, providing me with the support needed. I also recently spent 6 days standing on my feet for 10 hours a day. By wearing this shoe I was able to do so comfortably. I love Zappos and appreciate their return policy, as it can be hard to find a shoe that fits. Thank you Zappos! |

| Comfort and stability - I have high arches and a sloppy gate. These give me stability and feel snug and secure but not tight. The only thing I noticed with the Avia running and cross training shoe is that it feels a 1/2 size smaller than their walking shoe. I wear 7.5M. My daughter noticed same thing. We both had to go a 1/2 larger. Their walking shoes seem even more comfortable and true to size. I also wear an orthotic in this shoe fine. |

| Luv the colors, luv the fit - This is the 5th pair of Avia I have ordered form Zappos. Luv the fit and colors; I put bright green laces with this one and it really pops the color. I like to have all colors to go with my fitness outfits. Cant way to get some red and black. |

| Avia A104W - Although I did not keep this shoe, I found it to be very comfortable with good lateral support and a good arch support. I chose the Avia 130TR over this shoe only because it seemed to have a bit more cushioning for step aerobics. It was a tough choice! |

| 5 Star Service - Zappos came through for me in a crunch. I highly recommend them. Avia shoes are hard to come by in the town that I reside in. Zappos made it easy for me and the overnight free shipping was the icing on the cake. Thanks Zappos. |

| Wide foot delight - This shoe actually feels wider than the stated "W" width, and this brings no complaints from someone with a very wide foot. No cramping at all across the ball of the foot - and this shoe even encompassed my bunions successfully! |

| Very comfy. These shoes are soooo comfy, I didn't even want to take them off when I was finished working out. They look a little bulky/dorky, so I would never wear them except when at the gym, but they are good for the gym. |
