Avia Men's O2Air Athletic Performance Running Shoes

These are like my 3rd pair of Avia in 7 years because even though I wear them to the jogging track and mowing 2 very big lawns all spring, summer, and fall, they last much longer then much more expensive brands and that I was expecting when I first got this brand. Of course, when I wear shoes out, they are really worn out, and look it! Now I got these Avia O2Air Runners and they are soft to walk in while being snug on my feet. I usually wear size 11 buy got 10.5 because these particular shoes are going to be used on gymnastics mats I set up to do cardio calisthenics and nothing else; therefore I needed that there was no slip room in the shoes for my feet at all without the shoes being tight to avoid blisters. Thank goodness these fit just right for that. I also bought another pair of Avia shoes, but only for the jogging track for my New Year's Resolution. This year I am going to be getting cleats for mowing the lawn, but for that I think I have to get another brand because Avia doesn't make any that I can find. I recommend the Avia O2Air runners & the Avia shoe brand in general.

As a big guy, I typically need different shoes for jogging than for walking due to the various ortho needs between the two. I've been a fan of Avia shoes for both types of exercise for quite a while now and this pair is no exception. I've been using them a few times per week to get my walking in and these shoes are great for the task. They may be a tad heavy for someone looking for a proper running shoe, but for casual sneakers, a pair for dad's working outdoors or barbequing, or walking/concerts, these shoes work great. I had to buy them a half size up because my feet are wide and I want room for good socks and that was the right decision if you aren't able to find a wide size.
