Avia Women's Comfort Performance Sneakers, Wide Width Available

I bought these for my wife. She will not wear name brand shoes. She abhores overpriced, keeping up with the "whoever is in the headlines" clique. Other than these possibly running maybe a half size small (she wears 6.5, normal, these are 7W) they are excellent tennis shoes. They are well made, they are comfortable, they provide excellent support, they go on and off easily, they are lightweight, and you can feel the soles ,in her words, "squish in a good way" to support her feet. I have bought her Nike, Under Armour, Brooks, Asics, Reeboks, New Balance, Skechers, Reebok, etc. I have never bought her Hoka, as she would leave me if I'd spent that much money on shoes for her or anyone else in the family, so she, nor I, can attest to the similarities to the soles like others here, but from appearances, it looks like Walmart looked to be trying to clone the Hoka style. My wife definitely doesn't buy namebrands or wear clothes to advertise. She hates giving rich corporations free and unsolicited advertising. And, although these are Walmart's Avia brand, she does like the outer appearance. She had tried on the 6.5 in the store and said that they were a little tight, but our Walmart didn't have the size 7 in stock. Online, there was not a regular width 7, so she decided to give the 7 W a try. Immediately after getting them delivered to our door on a Sunday, I put them on her feet, you know, because that's what husbands do for wonderful wives, and she was off for her nightly walk with our youngest daughter. I haven't seen her this happy about a pair of shoes, especially ones that are considered bargain shoes, in a long time. There are good reviews on here, written by the person who purchased these shoes, but how many times have you ever seen a husband writing a good review about a pair of shoes for his wife? That's how good these shoes are. For the online price I paid, that's a big win. My wife is on her feet all day long and walks an average of 15 miles with her job daily. These high cushioned shoes, yet not making her feel off balanced, will keep her feet comfortable for those long days on her feet

Great shoes I did return the first pair and bought the wide width. Good arch support and love the memory foam insole. I agree with others that these are comparable to my Hoku shoes which cost considerably more dollars. The wide width comfort sneakers fit perfectly and is very comfortable shoe with good support for my feet. I shattered my heel 8 years ago and have had pain in my foot but the shoes definitely help with my pain.
