I love these shoes. I've had back problems for as long as I can remember, which means that I can't run, because running is very high impact. Regardless, I still enjoy to go for walks, hours at the time, and these avia are the best walking shoes I own. Very comfortable, and great for my back. They are absolutely awesome for speed-walking!!

Great shoes! The curve from toe to heel felt kind of funny at first, but that lasted no more than a few blocks, after that I got used to them and they felt no different to any other walking shoes. The greatest thing about this curvature is that it makes your feet move with a smooth transition from heel to toe, with no effort, keeping you to fall on the balls of your feet, also great for the back.

I am a toning shoe freak. I first bought a pair of sketchers, and they were great, but very expensive. When those gave in I moved to the Avia because a friend told me they were functionally similar to the Sketchers but way cheaper. Couldn't be happier, they feel just like my old sketchers, and even more comfortable, and I saved myself a ton of money.

Love the shoes, I'm a dog walker, so I spend most of my day walking around. My initial intentions for these shoes was to get some toning advantage, since I am walking all day anyway, I wanted to make the most out of it. Whitin a few days of wearing them I noticed I walked easier, and the small pain I felt on the balls of my feet and my back after long days was gone. Got them for the toning, kept them for the comfort. Plus the price is great.

A lot cheaper than other toning shoes, and they look a lot better. Simple and delicate, not bulky or flashy.

The first time I walked in them it felt I felt a little weird, the rocking motion was very apparent, but I was able to get used to them very quickly. They first day I was very excited about the new shoes and I walked for about 7 miles in one stretch, the other day I felt my bumm and thighs muscles were sore, so they seem to work, I didn't feel that with my other shoes, so they make a difference. I'm planning on wearing them for work too, not just walks, to get the most out of them.

Very comfortable, they have great support for high arches, relaxing the feet while walking for no post workout cramps. I had fasciitis, I guess I still do, and the doctor recommended the toning shoes, not so much for the toning but for the support and aid in stride motion. I was going for the sketchers, but they were waaay out of my price range, and the customer service guy directed me to the avia, and told me they were just as good, but less popular and therefor a lot less expensive. He was right, they are very good, comfortable, supportive, and have made walking and just standing at work a much pleasant experience.

Amazing shoes, every walking shoe should be like this. This shoes improve posture and strengthen back muscles and core just by walking in them. As soon as I put them on I noticed a difference in my posture. I can't tell whether they are toning my butt or not, but I really don't care, I feel better and my core is definitely stronger. I do wear them a lot, around the house, for work, running errands, and of course on walks, but the improvement is remarkable, I already have 2 pairs and I am getting a third because my first one is starting to wear off, and I don't want to lose the benefits for walking on worn down shoes.
