Avia Men's Jag Athletic Shoe

I am a big fan of Avia shoes, and as usual these do not disappoint. I have worn a similar pair of Avia athletic shoes for about three years and they have been great. I suspect these will last just as long without issue. Avia is the only brand of athletic shoes that I will buy anymore. They fit my feet like they have been custom made for me. They are so comfortable compared to other brands I have owned. This model of shoe has memory foam insoles which really cushions while walking. In the past I have purchased expensive, popular brands of athletic shoes and I have not been impressed. Since discovering Avia I have stayed with the brand. I like that they offer a wide width, which is what was sent to me to review. I do wish they had more offerings in different styles and colors though. I would buy more. They always seem to sell out fast in my size when they do get them in stock online. I like the style. They are a good looking shoe. I especially like the gray color since it does not show dirt and stays new looking, unlike white athletic shoes. I like the green accent color also. Some models of athletic shoes have reflective panels on the backs, which can be a good thing so cars can see you. This model does not, but the greenish-yellow laces and accents are very noticeable when I shined a flashlight on them in a dark room. The bottoms are designed for good traction on various surfaces. This model of shoe is also very light. It almost feels like you are not even wearing shoes. The tongue of the shoe is slightly thinner than on my previous pair. I do not know if this will make a difference in the long-term? I like that the laces go through actual holes instead of cloth loops that could break, even though I have never had a problem with those on my old pair. The shoes breathe well also so your feet will stay cool. Overall, this is a wonderful pair of shoes and I am glad to see them offered at a great low price!
